also 3 of those VTEC-YO Turbos laying around

VTEC-YO! 

Turbo 

Any chance of a translation for an old guy, that doesn't understand?

In reply to 03Panther :

VTEC is the Honda variable cam system. Yo because of making fun of Honda fan bois. Turbo because these Acuras are turbocharged also.

I thought by some unusual and unfortunate turn of events these Acura engines don't actually mate up to any other Honda trans. 

Therefore you can't really use them in swaps, unless you want the rdx auto.

really? is the bellhousing pattern different?  i am not a honda FanBoi, so my knowledge is limited...

they do have a nice variable gate turbo setup, and lots of grunt..

I don't remember exactly what it is. But there is a reason they aren't used much. 

And the reason likely isn't the nice turbo or solid grunt. ;)

Nice and concise. Tks.
