dislike. No thanks.
Type R is based upon N/A. That's honda's heritage. Stick to what they do best.
If they wanna do a turbo car, at least make it RWD but this Type R will be FWD... Will have a crap load or torque steer and understeer i bet probably... thats if it remains FWD which they most likely will as they will want to keep $$$ down
.
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.
they had a legend in 1989 with an interesting 'wing' turbo plus the venerable City Turbo in 1982 and later the 'bulldog' City Turbo II.
also an Acura RDX from 2007 in the US.
Car looks good from the front, not sure on the rear. Keen on the turbo but I do agree that a Type R should be a high revving, lightweight, atmo beast.
Read the first line of the thread and also thought immediately of the City Turbo!
Still imagine the torque from it+ its turbo so a lot more potential
Plus I think it will sound a lot more meaner.
Couldn't they just try and make the car lighter thus improving power, efficiency and all as well? wouldn't that help them comply with Euro emission laws.
Hello boost controller, 15psi and ecu tune, only reason they would run low boost is due to the high compression, much like all new cars
Bout time honda made a turbo car! Vtec with turbo can only end well
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
but if its a small low down turbo wouldn't that mean you can hit the higher rev ranges and VTEC can kick in sooner which would be a good thing right? or is going turbo more problems than its worth?

When turbocharger give boost, the VTEC has to turn to it's OPEN/HIGH profile to allow the air in (tech heads welcome to correct me), so you're bascially VTEC'in the moment Turbo starts to work....
