Does a 2002 Acura RSX Type-S have a turbo or is it non turbo?

Hello · #2 (**permalink**) 08 Sep 2008, 11:01 am

non turbo as memory fails. seems it has a different engine geometry than the base one.

No, it's naturally aspirated

there are NO turbos on RSX's (S's either) unless you put one on...

Except for the RDX, no Honda or Acura cars have turbos or superchargers.

no the RSX Type-S is a non-turbo engine but it has i-VTEC which will give it more horse power at high RPM. the engine come N/A(natural aspiration) meaning that the only charge of incoming air is from the down force of the piston, where as a Fi(Forced Induction), turbo, air is pushed in from the turbo driven by exhaust gases. a Turbo for this is an aftermarket application. the car already has 200 @ 7400 RPM from the factory

if you don't know that you shouldn't even think of one by the way it doesn't have a turbo
