Honda Civic Type R is back (with turbo)

[Touge Tom]

this would be great if they actually do this and stop talking bout it? a great tuning base to begin with. high flow filter and cat with 3'inch ex-system and a reflash job done!

[IV73CI]

hopefully there will be a full FMIC ..like seen in the factory turbo cars nowadays ..

then that will allow ppl to unleash the dragon/power by reflashing or changing the EMS for its full potential.

wonder if they will come forged pistons as well? and an in-dash boost gauge etc ...

i guess only time will tell.

we'd be lucky to even get this in Aust ... lol

hhhmm...interesting, looks like we wont have to wait too much longer. This development mule was spotted near Nurburgring !! obviously not the real exterior, I hope !!

keen to see what honda makes of the turbo, hopefully useful. The styling reminds of the fn2 just more redefined, but over imo ugly.

[Foxx]

Turbo in a honda = DUMB

And car itself looks ugly

[iijjee]

Does anyone remember how the turbo Honda engine went in F1 back in 1987 - Prost and Senna's day??

Not too shabby...

Six cylinders - 1450cc - 14000rpm - and umm... ample power - around 1050hp!

They know how and don't be surprised if the capacity is less than 1800cc...

F1 engine =\= road going

We already know it's 1600 -1800 cc ish (leaning more to 1600cc)
the only other petrol turbo car honda has is a K23 on Acura's

[blk_shadow]

they are bringing out the GT300 CRZ with hybrid 2.8L V6 twin Turbo

An article came up yesturday regarding new civic type r is approved

Also says
If the report is to be believed, the next CTR will not have the naturally aspirated K20 VTEC engine pointing the way – that motor's lack of compliance with Euro emissions regulations being the reason the Civic Type R was discontinued. The Auto Express report predicts a 210-horsepower, 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder developed by Mugen – that would be up 12 horsepower from the 2010 model, but down 46 horses on the limited edition Type R tuned by Mugen that was "a tribute to the Honda K20" engine and part of the last model's run. It's said the 2013 will feature a stop/start system and a six-speed manual

Tuned by Mugen say what!!

I'm disappointed by the power output, especially from a 2.0 L turbo engine. Hate to say this, but I'd prefer Ford's 2.0 L ecoboost engine which makes 177 kW in the Ford Escape or 188 kW in the Focus ST.

Or 221kw out of a Alfa 1.8 liter.

What Vtec, Multi-air now


Ps: somewhat it's tuned by mugen? When was the last time Mugen mass produced forced induction parts?

looks nice - positive change from current shape.

Turbo motor will divide the purists!
