Thanks for sharing the results of these tests. Goes to show that area under the curve is always more important than peak hp numbers. This bodes well for the 2.0T Si! Do you have any initial impressions on how hard will it be to develop the Hondata for the 10th gen? Gains should be even more...

Autocar had the chance to drive a prototype of the 2017 Euro-spec Civic and they say it delivers 127 bhp (94 kW) and 148 lb-ft (200 Nm) to the front wheels through a 6-speed manual gearbox. In this configuration, Honda is targeting CO2 emissions of 99 g/km which translates into a fuel economy of...

The Type R engine does not have the typical turbocharged engine power delivery. Granted, it does not rev high, but power is still climbing up to 6600rpms, not flat like a table by 5500 like many others, and torque peaks quite late in the powerband. Now, the Si, who knows. K20C1 dyno:

Honda official statement: Combining a turbocharger with Honda’s VTEC and Dual-VTC technologies provides a number of benefits in output, efficiency and packaging. Dual-VTC allows a degree of valve timing overlap which is finely controlled across a broad rev range to improve responsiveness and...

VGT is not common yet in gasoline engines, first application was the 911 997.1 Turbo in 2007 IIRC, not many other manufacturers have followed. But most modern turbodiesel engines use them. Honda is not using VGT nor twin scroll in their 1.5T and 2.0T, but they´re fighting lag with VTC tricks...

Normal boost for the 1.6T EcoBoost is 18.9 psi, with a lower compression ratio than the Honda engine, and it´s making a lot more torque and power (graph is at the wheels on a dynojet). It does have an overboost mode to 21 psi but the small Borg Warner KP39 will never be able to sustain that over...

Don´t know if this has been posted before, but the most detailed info I´ve found is in these oficial press releases: 1) Overview: http://news.honda.com/newsandviews/article.aspx?id=8707-en 2) Interior: http://news.honda.com/newsandviews/article.aspx?id=8710-en 3) Powertrain...

The small 1.5 turbo is generating just 174hp at 16 psi of boost, which is a pretty poor power output figure for a turbocharged engine. This is because of the compromises that were made during engine design: Long stroke, integrated exhaust manifold with water cooling, small single scroll turbine...
