The 1.5 L Turbo

Needs smaller intercooler.

Why the 1.5 Turbo? What are they thinking?

The 1.5L Turbo will be one of the engines in the new line-up of Earth Dreams.

It will be used in the hatchback.

It will be used in the hatchback.

U.S. Markets will have the 1.5 turbo in the coupe/sedan.

Where's the rest of that intercooler. That thing looks tiny.

 

[Dar-Dar]

Well, thats not a performance engine.

 

[Dar-Dar]

It is like the 1.8L vw engines. They are designed for efficiency.

What's the thought on what the Si gets? I can see the 1.5 turbo being an option in lesser variants, or for EX. Is the 2.0 dohc 160hp version the base engine?

 

[Flightmaster127]

They are designed for efficiency.

Until a tuning shop gets a hold of it and turns up the boost. It's still a Honda I'm sure there will be performance modifications.

sorry I messed my post up earlier. The lower trims are getting "a new DOHC VTEC engine". Upper grades will get : "an all new 1.5 liter vtec turbo engine".
