They should call this Type T instead.

Car looks epic but ya couldnt agree more I always thought Honda was against Turbo's but I guees there is only so much power you can extract from a 2.0 litre engine before you cant comply with emission laws.
guees were going to hear a lot of TURBO JUST LET VTEC KICK IN YO!
yeh i saw an old jdm import legend v6 turbo wtf haha..
How many golf gti's do u see on the road versus type r's ? Plus 5 door appeals to young famillies which is prob half thd golf's market honda is here to sell cars not keep us fanboys happy lol.
hellooo tiny turbo and 3psi boost
You dont see a lot of turbocharged cars with dual VVT setup like the i-Vtec (Porsche and BMW does it, but I call gimmicks, and they are continuously variable VVT's anyway, not the locked/stepped setup like VTEC). I don't actually think it's necessary..... Since VVT is helping to get fuel and air in the cylinders... and FI does the same thing... It's like having a big hammer (Forced Induction) and a small hammer (VVT), I don't know if you actually NEED both, since a lot of folks turbocharging civic engines end up locking the valve/cams to 'OPEN' anyway?
Case in point, look at the K23A1, the turbocharged K-series in the Acura RDX.
- No Vtec on exhaust side
- Intake side Vtec is vastly different from the rest of the K-series as well... it's not really a VTEC even on the intake side
I always thought the point of a civic type R was a quick and nimble high revving pocket rocket. Wouldn't forced induction change this a bit?
