Default Turbo RDX

Apparently the April Motortrend says the Acura RDX will have a 2.2L turbo 4cyl engine making 260hp/260ft-lbs with the RL's SW-AWD system.

Sounds too good to be true!!!

That would be a whole new engine and I highly doubt it. But sounds good for the future of the Integra/RSX/TSX if they put that engine in there

It doesn't necessarily have to be an entirely new engine. They could take the K24A and destroke it with different crank, rods and pistons.. or make a "stroker" K20A.

One of these two options could work well if the rod:stroke ratio isn't thrown off.

One thing I do wonder about though is Honda using an open-deck block in a forced induction application. I don't know for sure but I think the K series blocks are open-deck with floating cylinders.

In addition to Motor Trend, Japan's Mag X is also saying 2.2 liter turbo.

Britain's CAR as well as MSN Autos are saying the RDX will get a new V6.

Sound's too good to be true. That means this small SUV would have more hp and torque than their truck!

I'm not saying it is impossible, but if something like this happens, I hope they turbo some other stuff, like the s2000 or RL. That'll be crazy.
