I know it'll probably be a little while before we see a T1R, HKS turbo kit or even a Kraftwerk S/C but I'd like to know how many of you guys are waiting for that? Is the engine a lot different from the GD? I look at my engine bay and the one of my friend's GD and apart from the engine being pushed back further on my car I don't really notice a big difference. I haven't had it on the hoist yet to compare them. I'm just more wondering if it's gonna be a case of those manufacturers tweaking their already existing products or if the have to go back to the drawing board and start from scratch?

 

i thought its already been concluded that it cant be turbo charged something about the lack of space or the intake manifold....i could be wrong though

 

no you are right... i look under the hood of the GE8 my god the intake manifold is like so far back, they only thing that i think might fit under there maybe a route type supercharger

 

intergrated exhaust manifold= no turbo.

 

Not true. There are a few r18 civic kits already.

 

hasn't this been covered like 5483957438 times already?

not trying to be mean or anything i promise

 

I messaged oscar a while back and asked him if he planned on making a kit for the 09 and got this response.

Hello,

Thanks for your interest! We have explored the possibility of an 09 kit, but we have not started or planned development.

Thanks,
Oscar Jr.

 

yep they are running pretty high numbers too...

 

be positive im sure it will happen. i didnt think i K would fit in there and it does.

 

It's gonna happen...I know for sure. It'll just take time. I'm just more curious to see how much interest there is for FI.
