You are correct. I edited my post's title to clarify.

Edit in "automobile" and you'll be set.
They've been turbocharging their watercraft for a couple of years now.

Well Hugh, you know, no good deed goes unpunished. Thanks for sharing the information, but alas, I too want to point out Honda sold turbo motorcycles back as far as 1982.

Actually, you'll also need to specify "in North America".dave22 said:Edit in "automobile" and you'll be set.
They've had a number of turbo engines in passenger cars - both gasoline and diesel - overseas:- 1982 Japan Honda City Turbo (1.2L gasoline)
- 1989 Japan Honda Legend (<strike>2.7L</strike> 2.0L gasoline)
- 2004 Euro Honda Accord (2.2L diesel)

I am going to put some Turbo Vtec badges all over my car to go with the Type r and SiR ones!:biggrin:
Man...you guys are good!!!:biggrin:
Simon, I mentioned it above, but got the displacement wrong. Thanks for the correction.
That motor with a little more boost would make the S2000 one hell of a fun car.
I am glad Honda finally is working with FI.
It almost makes you wonder if the rumors about the HSC having a turbo V6 might have had some truth to them ........
P.S. I am still pissed Honda did not boost that limited production NSX-R that cost $500K!!!

I see this new engine being the next swaped engine for a few cars.. :smile: Kind of like the B18C Type-R Engine.

I don't know about that. I'm still trying to figure out if the turbo system and plumbing would fit along the firewall. You see the K series engine sits backwards from what us Honda guys are used to. The exhaust is along the firewall and intake up front. Some guys have done K- series swaps into CRXs already and it's a tight fit. Now when you do that I don't think there will be enough room along the firewall to route and mount all the turbo gear. For sure you will not be able to use the RDX top mount intercooler so some fab work will have to be done to get the charge pipe down to the front end of the car to a traditional front mount unit. Plus if you were going this route it makes more sense to swap in a K20-r from a RSX type S and then turbo that, it is way more available. Then you get a 6spd CRX...... hawtness!!!!!
You'll probably have to wait a few years for this engine and then it will be too much cash. If you really want more displacement I was thinking about the Honda Element engine with a RSX type S head swap and THEN turbo
drop that in a CRX and you'll be good for easy 350-400whp on relatively low boost!!Maybe my next project
This is a bigger deal than most realize, as far as tuning potential goes.
I know some can appreciate the impact of this:
240hp, 260tq
A stock swap into a s2k would bring sizeable results. A simple raise in psi within the car's stock safety margins would bring it to 280/300 quite realistically.

To me, those numbers mean an engine that runs out of breath at high RPMs.
If they could hold that torque figure at 8000 rpm, we would have 396hp, which sounds even more exciting!
I get my hands on one of the RDX's before the public does! I will share pictures and comments in a few weeks. :wink: The RDX updated release date is August 11th. Has anyone thought of picking one of these up and just not for the motor?

That's a matter of personal opion. I'm sure people who bought a VW Bug, Ford Mustang, Toyota Camery, Hyndai Sonata, etc, will disagree with you:biggrin:
