turbo vtec engines are coming!
http://blog.caranddriver.com/honda-t...y-end-of-2015/
Honda used the occasion of the 2015 Detroit auto show to announce plans to roll out its upcoming family of turbocharged four-cylinder engines by the end of 2015. Honda said it is investing $340 million at its Anna, Ohio, engine plant to accommodate a third assembly line for the engines, among other upgrades to the facility.
Honda still won’t say how much power these new mills would make, nor which vehicles will get them first, but we had a chance to sample one such engine with 2.0 liters of displacement in a Civic Type R prototype—now there’s a car we’d like to have in America!—and we were told at the time that the 2.0-liter could pump out a maximum of roughly 300 horsepower. We’ll bring you more tantalizing turbo tales as soon as Honda’s willing to tell them.
they need to stuff one of these engines in a new s2000. either way finally they did this now Honda is gonna be even better than before for dollar to performance mod value

Need to see what they release. I have a feeling the civic si in the states will get less displacement when they add a turbo so probably not a huge bump in power. We won't get the 2L turbo Civic R just like we always miss out on the cool cars.
