Acura RDX turbo

**Aleks** · 01-09-2006, 06:06 PM

Acura finally putting out a 4 cyl turbo motor. 2.3 liter 240hp 260tq. Need this motor in the Rsx and the Civic.

Hope it's not a repost.

They had to cave in to FI sometime. Too late if you ask me.

They should have made a turbo civic many years ago, with dealership mods ala SRT-4. They would have made soooo much more money.

tooo bad its a suv...would have loved to see this in the rsx or tsx

wow, looks better than some of the proto-type pictures that were released. Looks better than the Mazda CX-7 imo. I might actually have to consider the RDX as a replacement for the TL.

Slotted under MDX, probably starts at high 30s and ends at mid 40s.

Honda would be extremely stupid not to use this motor in a sport compact. If they did that I would have to consider a Honda/Acura as my next vehicle.

**heavyD** · 01-10-2006, 08:40 AM

What is Honda trying to do? Get my business back?

**treg50** · 01-10-2006, 09:30 AM

Not too shabby. Finally some factory Honda turbo-ness.

The front looks like a 1.7EL+

**crazydriver** · 01-10-2006, 10:39 PM

not bad, i like the interior

Isnt it significantly smaller than those, from the looks of it I would guess on the higher end of the CRV up to the range of the Pilot, just a thought
