SOME HISTORY OF THE HONDA CITY TURBO II “BULLDOG”
Honda City Turbo II aka “Bulldog” was manufactured from 1983 till 1987. It is equipped with a turbocharger which manage to produce around 110PS (108 hp/ 81 kW) at 5000 rpm and 16.3 kgm (159Nm) at 3000 rpm. It is matched with Honda’s PGM-F1 fuel injection and an 8-bit digital computer control unit, which turns to be a very efficient engine with little turbo lag.
Honda City Turbo is the masterpiece of Hirotoshi Honda, son of Honda founder Soichiro Honda, Hirotoshi-san is also the founder and owner of Mugen.
In the early 1980s Mugen was a small tuning company that was beginning to make its mark producing performance parts for motorcycles and automobiles, but was yet to gain recognition outside of racing circles. When he created the City Turbo, Hirotoshi took one of Honda's most unassuming vehicles and turned it into an aggressive street rocket, considered to be well ahead of its time. Impressed, Honda took Hirotoshi's idea and made a production version of it.
ENGINE
The City Turbo had a 1237 cc (1.2 L) CVCC engine that upon the addition of a turbocharger, produced around 100 PS (74 kW; 99 hp) at 5500 rpm and 15.0 kg·m (147.1 N·m; 108.5 ft·lbf) at 3000 rpm. Further changes to the engine included an aluminum/titanium alloy head and a magnesium valve cover to keep the weight down. The IHI RHB51 turbocharger, developed as a joint venture between Ishikawajima Heavy Industry and Honda, was lighter and smaller than most other turbos and could run at higher rpm. When combined with Honda's PGM-F1 fuel injection and an 8-bit digital computer control unit, the end result was a very efficient engine with minimal turbo lag.
SUSPENSION
The City Turbo's suspension was refined above that of the ordinary City. The four-wheel independent system used progressive rate coil springs, with stabilizers at both the front and the rear. Tires were the 165/70HR12 radials, and stopping power was provided by ventilated disc brakes at the front and semi-metallic shoes at the rear.
STYLING
The body of the Honda City Turbo was made sportier by the addition of a new air dam with fog lights and asymmetrical grille at the front and a small spoiler at the top/rear of the car. Meanwhile, a hump was added to the hood to make room for the extra equipment of the turbocharged engine. The City Turbo II, meanwhile benefited from flared fenders over both the front and rear wheels with factory graphics labeling it as an "Intercooled Turbo II."
CITY TURBO II
The Honda City Turbo II, known by its owners as the "Bulldog", was introduced in 1983. Changes included the above mentioned flared fenders as well as changes to the engine. The City Turbo II's engine featured an intercooler, a revised intake plenum, a slightly larger throttle body, a modified inlet manifold, a higher AR turbo compressor, exhaust housings, and a slightly raised (7.6:1) compression ratio.
