Honda: история одной фишки :)
Jan. 6th, 2010 09:24 am1989 Honda Legend
Honda made a variable geometry turbo equipped Legend marketed in the Japanese Domestic Market. The turbo equipped engine was the Honda C20AT engine and are extremely rare. Honda pioneered variable geometry turbo chargers. The wing turbo as Honda called them, were controlled by an 8 bit processor ecu and they were constantly adjusting.
Basically, at low speeds the wings would be nearly closed to speed and direct exhaust pressure precisely on the turbine wheel. At cruise speeds, the wings would be open and it would act like a much larger turbo to increase fuel economy.
This car was quick and powerful, but the price premium over the standard Legend was too much for most so the car disappeared. This was one of the only production Hondas ever turbocharged from the factory.
17 years later Honda re-introduced this technology on the Acura RDX.
