RDX I-vtec turbo

Well I came to the dealership and they had only one rdx. Brand new, they
didnt even have a brochure for it yet. So i pop the hood, its a K23A1...2.3 liter I-vtec turbo. Its got a top mount intercooler, 240hp260tq.Its in a small SUV so the performance aint that great. It also had paddle shifters. This model also came with a boost guage stock, and SH-AWD. I told the guy i wouldnt buy the car, but the motor i would buy. The salesman told me acura invited them to an autocross to test the new RDX against the BMW X3. He told me the RDX handed it to the X3. Its a pretty tight ride, but I just want the motor

And to compliment, here's VTEC.net's wallpaper of the month and a link to a video of the RDX in the dyno.

That's old news. And they all come with a turbo guage. Here is TOV taking it out on the tail of the dragon http://www.vtec.net/articles/view-ar...icle_id=599611
