Re: honda's first stock turbo - THE POWER OF DREAMS
 

So which other american honda's were boosted?
And did they get 260ft/lbs of torque?

(as far as i know) No

very un-'gay'

Re: honda's first stock turbo - THE POWER OF DREAMS
 

I think it's pretty sweet. I really like the turbo in those things. Give's good spool time/tq and also give great high end power as well. Great design

Re: honda's first stock turbo - THE POWER OF DREAMS
 

260 foot pounds CRANK, through an AWD system. and its an suv... who the ---- uses a car, wich its msrp range is somewhere inbetween 30-50 thousand dollars off road.... Its just another yuppie, pretentious, showing off at the golf club fag waggon. TL or RL ftw. RDX is gay sauce.

Re: honda's first stock turbo - THE POWER OF DREAMS
 

Well of course you wouldn't use it off road or for racing purposes but it's still pretty cool in my opinion. It's still a nice SUV and it's still going to be pretty quick for one as well. And I really like it just for the design of the turbo. Is that a new design or have I just not seen them before...?

Re: honda's first stock turbo - THE POWER OF DREAMS
 

I just cant wait to see people put those motors in Eg's and ----.

Re: honda's first stock turbo - THE POWER OF DREAMS
 

Actually the TSX(or was it TL) had a SH-AWD form. Pretty badass car. 300hp methinks if I remember correctly. Heavy as ---- though.

Are the A-specs not handling packages too?

Also what about the CRX AWD?

Re: honda's first stock turbo - THE POWER OF DREAMS
 

handling packages are gay.

packages are gay.

stop talking about packages.

variable a/r exhaust housing :y... Any of you kids know what kind of mechanism is used to acutuate that flapper door?

Re: honda's first stock turbo - THE POWER OF DREAMS
 

variable valve turbo? what did honda put vtec in the turbo too

Re: honda's first stock turbo - THE POWER OF DREAMS
 

LOL yea i read a few test drive on some magazine last night, they are saying the exhaust/hot side housing has a valve that shinks the exhauts path at low rpm to increase veloicity to help spool up, it starts to built boost at 2K rpm and after certain rpm it opens up to imporve flow, they are saying the engine will pull fomr 2K all the way to redline . and i don`t think it is all time 4WD either, it pretty much work like the RL, sending power to the opposit real wheel when the front tires spins.

heres an online review.
