I do not know any "truth" behind this, could be a rumor, could be a speculation, but interesting nonetheless

I'll believe it when i see it...

Reading that thread reminded me of why I stopped reading Honda forums ...

Yup the RDX will be coming out with powerhouse. Its the destoke k24 will turbocharge.

Honda has been making FI cars in other parts of the world but this will be the first coming to NA.

Whoa, that thing would be a beast.

If this comes out...I can't imagine the insurance nightmares.

Then again I doubt it will.

40x7.2 = 288ft-lbs of torque.

wow, a honda engine with more torque than horsepower

I wouldn't think it would be much different than the WRX STi other than Acura's higher theft rate.

[gilboman]

that's dumb, the RSX platform needs to be changed anyways, no point to bring this out. doubt RSX will get AWD before the other Acura cars (except RL)

this is nothing more than a pipedream. doubt the RSX will even be continued with civic taking its spot.

[dablackgoku1234]

they should put that engine in the rumored TSX coupe

[MameXP]

Its the RDX, mean to compete with the Rav4 and small SUV.

The OP is dumb enough to put RSX in the title. Its NOT RSX for the last time.

Gee.....

Go to Acura website and see, its expected to coming out in 2007 (So more than a year from now)

For ppl who are so f.... lazy and like to hearsay:

ALSO , this is a GREAT MISINFORMATION!!!!

I dont know if the OP is chinese or just posting some rumors from www.ricedoutcivics.com

Here is the specs:
2.3-LITRE 4-cylinder i-VTEC turbocharged engine generates 240 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque

Acura-exclusive i-VTEC Turbo technology uses a unique variable-flow turbocharger
· 5-speed automatic transmission with sequential Sportshift™ and steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters
· Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD™)
· Fully independent front and rear suspension


BTW, its still a destroke K24 from TSX, not a complete new engine. K series has gone a long way. The best I4 engine so far!!!!
