go on ephatch.com and buy it from the guy who has one. he gave up - it was harder then he thought to get that engine in his car.

These motors will probably be decently difficult to get a hold of used. The K23 also didn't come in the MDX (which has the J35A3).

And no, it's not the first turboed car by Honda. Some more Honda fasctory turbos:
'82-'84/7 Honda City Turbo (ER)
'83-'87 Honda City Turbo II (ER)
~'89 Honda Legend V6 (C20AT)
'91-'93 City 1.3T (ER)
'01-'02 Honda Life Dunk
'03-'06 Honda Life Dunk
'06+ Honda ZEST
'07 Acura RDX (K23A1)

Not to mention the turbodiesel N22 in the Civic, CRV and Accord.

of all the ones you posted, i think the only one that was available to us here in the US was the RDX. maybe the legend.

Oh, and there's a high probability we'll be getting the N22 in something in the coming years (from what I understand. The RDX is the only car in the models I listed availble with factory turbo in the US.

you would have to get a trans from a 2wd car becuase the k23a1 would have the SH-awd trans on it

The N22 is a diesel motor I- D-tec That would be sweet if you could find one> i thought about that before 2
