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
where does it say it has VTEC engine?? it might have a non-vtec low compression engine to accommodate the turbo, is thats the case, it will have a huge tuning potential
Don't all Honda engines now come with some form of VTEC?
My understanding is that the Civic Type R hatch is built and designed and all in Europe in the Swindon factory right?
What would be the difference if the factory had nothing to do with the car and the entire car was designed, engineered and built in Japan or Thailand?

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.....
IF it had Direct injection, that would be a bonus.

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"
Heres something interesting while were on a turbo hatch topic
concept only
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."
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.
