Does anyone know the story behind it? I searched but was unable to dig up any information about it. Was it just concept art?

it was a variable winged turbo that was controled by the ECU. I looked into those when I had my legend becasue they are a destroked C25a and the manifold and turbo would have gone right onto my C27a. I even saw one in person, and looked the whole thing over.

Well i found some decent pics of one of those engins but this is an early one probably due to the single fuel injection system not the multy port... But another question do you think that valve cover would work on out engines... would be cool if it said turbo...lol

I think they use those citi motors as swaps in the early gen civics,they make pretty good swap motors for those cars and are actually not that hard to find from what I understand
