well ive bin thinking about this for a long time. honda is like the only car company that hasent released a turbo car. toyota, mitus, nissan, even fords. if they slaped a small turbo on there stock it would own the compition.
anyone got any ideas?

 

honda does however make a turbo charged PWC.

but as far as your question goes, i dunno.

 

cuzz theres better aftermarket stuff.. why put in a weak stock turbo when theres tons out for it!

 

PWC? i just think its stragne that every other company uses boost and honda stays NA.

 

I think there actually was some factory-boosted little car that they sold to other markets...around the time of the CRX if I recall correctly. I don't remember it's name, sorry.

 

Becuase everyone loves an underdog.


Other than that I dont know.

 

yeah...they did make a few turbo cars, here's one of em.

The Honda City is amazing!

 

It's not a car, but the CX500TC motorcycle was turbocharged:

Also, they have been turbocharging F1 engines for over a decade. They obviously have experience with turbo applications, but for some reason don't see it as a viable solution for their cars.

There are many ends to a goal, Honda chose to do it the way that they are most comfortable with, and given Hondas reliability record it would be hard to question their dcision to make very reliable performance engines.

Cheers,

Does Joe still have his City II???????

personally, i think they are just waiting until the time is right - they could do it now, but don't. its all about $ for the guys who make those decisions.

 

i'm hoping that everyone here remembers that turbos and f1 were in during the 80's...f1 moved to all motor a long time ago

 

i heard a RUMOR that the Civic SI might soon become available with a factory installed greddy turbo kit anyone else hear anything about this?

 

i wish honda would make a RWD turbo. how great would a turbo s2000 or turbo nsx for that matter be

where do people come up w/ stuff like that?

 

if honda did come out with a turbo car, it wont be a greddy kit. im shure honda would comeup with there own to save $

Honda is missing out.I pray they make a turbo car send it to the USA.

they need to make a AWD 400HP beast and send it here.

 

Honda actually offer turbo car/bike in the past in japan....but,
There a some good reason why Honda Dont factory-turbo car:
Honda is well known for reliability and high mpg.
Honda is known for big power in small pakage(hp/liter).
N/A=less maitaince, also more reliable.
Biggest reason why Honda wont turbo, ...is because sale, marketing demanding, etc. Basically Honda sales is good the way it is, so they dont need turbo...it wont help much, it might even loss in profits. Take the new Dodge neon srt4 for example, they might go fast with turbo and sale for less but whats the profit that they are making=not much!!.....as for Honda, the new civic Coupe dont even offer the DOCH vtec..and the sale still hold strong!!
Who needs stock turbo anyway, they are just tooooo small!!
but.....maybe we should ask Honda to provid a BULLET PROOF stock motor instead of factory turbocharged motor!!!
