damn it does look like a new 2001-02 civic motor, d17 with turbo!! then i get to the bottom of the pic and its the one for there new jetski :-\ damn you whiterice! someone should throw that in a new civic... :o

Re:Honda Factory Turbocharged Engine!
 

it looks like a pretty decent sized turbo too, i wonder which turbo it is and who manufactures them for Honda??

Re:Honda Factory Turbocharged Engine!
 

I dont think Honda is going to be releasing a turbocharged engine anytime soon. There all about ecconomy right now with the new hydrogen cars and what not...

I dont see why they can just design a kit for say an accod (just an example i know most of you have CRXs. make a different ECU for it tuned to perfection and just offer it as an option. I mean imagine the new accord V6 6 speed on 15 lbs of boost!!! it would be crazy

Re:Honda Factory Turbocharged Engine!
 

Accord luv :P

i know alot of you dont see any snow, but where i live we get lots......so...... i think that honda should come up with a snowmobile that uses this motor. it would be crazy, just think.... a FMIC on a snowmobile

Re:Honda Factory Turbocharged Engine!
 

looks like a d17 but it's a dohc! look at the 2 cam seals on the head. specs prove it too.

hey jeff, looks like honda copied your zc race manifold and made it cast. i knew they were watching HMT.

Re:Honda Factory Turbocharged Engine!
 

Don't think that turbo would do very good for a home kit cause look at the way the flange is. I guess you could just weld the flange on a different way but still it's a factory turbo'd D! Since it's still a D series block and dohc it could be the rebirth of the dohc zc!

Re:Honda Factory Turbocharged Engine!
 

slright guys, here's the scoop. i just got off the phone with jim honda, he is the owner of honda motor corp., i talked him in to making a factory turbo b18c. you guys owe me big because it took a lot of persuading :P

Re:Honda Factory Turbocharged Engine!
 

Are you referring to which way the crank spins? All Honda motors spin the "wrong" way except for some of the newer ones. EDIT: notice my quotes. If you build an engine, you can spin it any way you want as long as it turns the wheels the right way.

Re:Honda Factory Turbocharged Engine!
 

ummmm.. you mean all of the new ones. and it's not the "wrong" way, just not the same direction as most traditional engines
