Honda finally offers a factory turbocharged engine available in the states!


Um, too bad it's in a freakin' jetski!
The crazy thing is that it makes 165bhp for only a 1235cc engine!

 

Damn you, I got all excited for a second.

I wonder what sort of ECU it uses?

More specs. See the intercooler under the intake manifold. Looks like a water to air intercooler.

looks alot like the new d17 in the civic sedan/coupes.

 

yup..hmmmm enine swap

 

yeah i talked to a guy at this place by my house that sells jetskis... if you can find one, they have a d-block and any d-series transmission will bolt up... best part is you can actually put a d17 crank and rods and pistons in and with a little notching of the block you got a factory turbo 1.7 liter honda motor! good ---- huh!

 

That's sweet man.

 

some1 with money to burn should try this out.. first time it would be done I bet.

 

maybe they'll come out with a factory turbo car soon, they're about the only car company that doesn't have one.

 

that exhaust manifold is sweet.
does the motor turn the "wrong" direction like a boat motor? it would not work so easily in a car if it does
