good thing honda finaly make turbo .. so it will very easy to play with power this time
well if they're not gonna add more power from factory to match the renaults or vw Rs, then i hope it will be much cheaper than them and have the potential for big gains with some aftermarket tuning
Don't all Honda engines now come with some form of VTEC?Quote:

sure do, infact majority of main stream engines from most manufactures have some form of variable timing simply because it reduces fuel consumption, and odds are they will incorporate the vtec system within there new engine.....Quote:

Like the K23 turbo in the states, it'll have "Vtec" but not in the traditional sense, I read somewhere it's missing some of the VTEC components to accommodate the turbo, hence some people call it "half a VTEC"Quote:

I dont know if this turbo civic type r could even match it...
"As reported earlier here www.themotorreport.com.au, the R version of the off-the-wall Juke compact SUV is driven by the GT-R's twin-turbo 3.8 litre twin-turbo V6.
In GT-R form, the big turbo six produces 390kW and 612Nm of torque. For the Juke-R, Nissan's engineers have pulled power back to a still impressive 358kW - a good deal more thrust than its normal 1.6 litre engine.
Nissan says it will build two examples of the turbocharged all-wheel-drive Juke-R, one in left-hand-drive and one for the right."
^^ Thats the reason why a change in the game is always good. new age boy-racers...
I gotta feeling it'll work like a turbo mivec. A big cam to get the turbo spoiling in the low revs. And a small cam for the high revs to eliminate valve overlap, so the boost won't just blow out the exhaust port before the exhaust valve closes.
