Honda goes turbo?

[[[d a n n y]]]

hi there all

i heard that honda will go turbo for their up coming models..

can any 1 confirm that?

if they do go turbo it'll b pretty fast cars around..

[poid]

I doubt it, the trend in Japan seems to be towards getting away from turbo due to emissions laws rather than the other way around.

Would be nice...Honda has a turbo jetski so never say never :lol:

And there was that little buzz box called the Honda City...

The "KEI" cars made by Honda in Japan always had turbo, ala City Turbo, Z Turbo. Nothing amazing though. Just 600cc turbocharged. So I don't see any great hype. The ones equipped with DOHC VTEC basically don't need turbo.

either way, wouldn't mind if they did make a factory turboed car

[aZZ]

yeh as the other person said, strict emision laws in japan, will prevent this from happening look at the R35 skyline and the 350Z, seems the trend is to shy away from the turbo and look towards veriable valve timeing of some sort or another, so nissan's only what a good 15-16 years late on doing this???? lol :wink:

I think turbo's have a good future, however they require advanced EMSs that can ensure an even burn and not having cars running as rich (as some Nissans do). I relise this is done intentionally for logetivity, however its much harder to tune a turbo car (especially for economy) than it is a NA car. Adding boost just gives you more variables.

So if other manufactures aren't going the turbo path either, maybe Honda has a head start with its VTEC technology!?

[poid]

Yeh the problem is that with a factory turbo car the manufacturer has to assume the driver wont know to cool down before stopping, how to treat the car, what different temps can do etc. SO they have to make them run rich up top to avoid detonation.

I suppose if they use rather advanced management systems they could make an almost idiot proof and reliable/lower emission car, but that could mean that factory turbo's of the future will be a bit more up market

Either way, the factory turbo certainly isnt dead.
