Default OEM Honda Turbo?

I heard a rumor about a turbo engine used in 4WD Honda´s like CRV or something, is this true? Is there any OEM Honda turbo engines on the market?

The reason for asking is that we can´t pass inspection (SMOG) with converted engine.
Same problem with BMW´s, they have to remove the turbo once a year to pass.

One solution is to hide the turbo but it´s hard when you have IC and all the other related parts.

Thanks a lot! I wonder if it looks similar to the F20C without the top mount IC?

Or tell them you did a engine swap, we can actually swap legally but not mount turbo´s on N/A engines.

the turbo engine you are talking about is on the Acura RDX using a K23A1 turbocharged engine.

It produces 240hp and 260ft-lb.

i dunno about swap though...

Haha, the City looks cool. Ready for rally.

Do you guys know if the K and F-serie engines are similar in design or totally different gearbox bolt pattern and engine mounts?

I expect they are very different, because the K's are horizontally mounted rather than longitudinal like our F's. I'm sure anything is possible, but it wouldn't be very practical.
