Crv motor..whats really under the hood as a 1.5l turbo

[Draken187]

So ive seen posts on getting crv map's and such dine to our civics.. And everyone thinking it was the same exact engine...

Anyways was sitting at the dealer helping a friend get the new civic... And i keept staring at what i thought was a pilot... The more i looked the more it didnt look like a pilot.. So walked up to it and .... Damn thats a nice crv.. Popped the hood expecting to see a familiar work of art.... Noooooopeeee... Heres a photo of the crv's 1.5l... Needless to say you can see how its getting some of its extra power... And i dont believe that will fit on the civic...

Oh.. And i foresee a 2016-2021 civic with 4 wheel drive out there somewere in 10 years.. Due to the crv getting such a similar motor

OP, to what are you referring that you see?

All I see is a big resonator added to the intake pipe to quiet it down even more.

Bigger pipping everywere.. Looking behind it the exhaust piping looks thicker also.. Maybe its not and juat due to were it was sitting amd the lighting

"There is also what initially appeared to be a mystery box on top of the 1.5-liter turbo. A quick call back to engineers revealed it to be a special resonator designed to absorb and attenuate induction noises caused by the turbocharger"

i think they put a lot of plastic to fill up the bigger engine bay, otherwise some would say the 1.5 engine is too small for the car

The CR-V has a lower compression ratio which likely lets them turn up the boost a little more. That's probably a bigger difference than the plastic box.

+1.. There was an insane amount of room in the engine bay.. Specially behind the engine.. You can see the ground atleast 4ft×1ft.. Behind the engine.. Plenty of room in front and also the sides... It looked empty with a motor...

The CR-V is a more expensive car so they probably wanted it to be even quieter, thus the more extensive resonator.
