Don't belive everything you read on the internet.

That's MacGyver's page, and the pic is most definitely a photochop (look at the width of the valve covers in the 2 pics).

 

^ This. /thread

To expand on that, I think it'd be awesome, that sort of engine would be a blast. But unless you're a recent Mega Millions winner, or otherwise independently wealthy, or have a workable business plan and serious investors lined up, it's no different from day dreaming how cool it'd be to date a supermodel.

The H1V8 starts at $28.5k, so I wouldn't be surprised it development was a quarter million or more. And it can ONLY be used in a race car - it's not something you can legally drop in your Elise, street registered Lotus 7, etc.

 

So i guess my question has pretty much been answered. It would be way to difficult and expensive

 

^Not to mention, a LSx V8 might be lighter and better balanced...you could probably get it to spin upwards of 7-8K if you reworked some things as well! just my 2cents. (also make wayyy more power.)

 

Well, think of it this way... Honda engineers are no dummies. Just keep repeating that to yourself when you think of mods.

If it was easy and cheap, they would have done it.

 

+2. What happens to the intake manifolds in that picture?

 

That is true, which is why it is very strange that their first and only FI engine is in the RDX. FI is the cheapest easiest way to make power yet they dont use it.

 

v8 is so old.
we need a w16 f20*4 aka f80
and f80QT with 2,000,000 hp to the wheels.
yay!
4*2=8

 

i think a better idea and an easier idea is to just put a f20/f22 in the trunk and have it run the rear and have the front one run front.

then that would be the sweetest s2k ever!

i mean ever! even better than unicorns!!!

 

wrong. don't forget about the honda city turbo. the rdx is just the first turbo honda/acura sold in north america.
