RB1 Honda Odyssey Absolute

















The Absolute transformation of their MPV/SUV resembles Honda lineup with a Type-R concept for their sporty model. As for the use of the Absolute label, it which, for example, is agreeable does so which is the approval of the fact that it invites too much compromise to namely true Odyssey Type-R in the core that there is not in streetable much as MPV/SUV in substitution for an "R" label to extract high enough levels of the performance from MPV or SUV to justify an "R" badge. And it does not make a lot of meanings equally, too. On the other hand, you must accept MPV which seems to be Odyssey for whom, their "car which are the master pivot" for the domestic reason that I want to recognize when there is still the person whom a performance is eager in, and give me Honda. For these earnest people, it does not always have to be dreary work that Honda runs MPV and shows a thought to be able to be a pleasure likewise. He can still choose the thing of "the absolute" as whom by a performance so that an "absolute" badge means Odyssey for a high-performance electric fan when it must drive a big race moving MPV - About MPV of the course.

The Odyssey Absolute is in many ways, more similar to the Civic SiR of old, a base model 'factory modified' for higher performance yet still retaining the luxuries of modern driving. For the Odyssey Absolute, this modification comes in the form of a higher-powered version of the base engine - a 200ps K24A that revs to 7000+rpm in place of the standard 160ps K24A revving to 6300rpm. To handle this power, the suspension too has been modified for better handling.

It is useful to watch Odyssey lineup in Japan to understand how Absolute harmonizes with standard Odyssey. In Odyssey to go to for JDM on a line, Honda markets a normal version in four "types" and Odyssey Absolute as highest grade transformation. The torque converter possessed the shifter which continued to a CVT gearbox or five speeds automatic gearbox the normal version posted the 160ps version of the K24A DOHC i-VTEC engine of 2.4l and and it was matched a person in charge with even which. There are FF and a 4WD version as always. Regular Odyssey is availabe of four "types". And we are called Odyssey Type B, S, M and L. And We are different from equipment parts only in an option. We know standard bodykit (bodykit same as it on Absolute) as "Aero Package" which appearance they are and can use most types voluntarily. Honda markets Odyssey M and Odyssey M.Aero-Package in this way. And a main differentiation factor is fitment of bodykit.

On the other hand, Odyssey Absolute of the range top comes only in one transformation. Plane package bodykit is normal. It is characterized by a wheel of big 18 inches than we attach 225/45 tires. The typical cord is slightly different from standard Odyssey - DBA-RB1 (for FF) vs. ABA-RB1. A price was pounding the official specifications for ABA-RB1 Odyssey where Absolute was so at a right table. This table comes from the formal Odyssey page in the Honda Motor Corporation website (for JDM).

If we compare Absolute with regular Odyssey, and the greatest difference is engine specifications. While both of them had a K24A engine of same 2.4l, one on Absolute was revised for louder power. VTEC is used on an intake and an exhaust cam now and the compression ratio that is higher than 0.8 point between the other changes sends an extra in 40ps from substitution of same 2.4l. Odyssey Absolute comes only by 5-spd car equipped with shifter which continued. However, I do the gear ratio with the remainder same as a normal version. While regular Odyssey is Odyssey and measures a L.K- package entering at weight same as Absolute between 1,700kg according to 1,600kg or more option, Absolute is weight of big 1,700kg.

Under the bonnet/hood, the K24A engine offers a similar look compared to the standard 160ps unit. The large black valve cover has been replaced with a white-coloured one of identical size and design. The 'i-VTEC 2.4 DOHC' plate is now in red-colour lettering instead of black. The intake manifold, partially hidden by the huge valve cover is clearly a different design, spotting much shorter runners and a larger plenium, obviously tuned for greater high-rpm air-flow. The air-filter box assembly however is the same though I didn't actually open the filter box up to see if the filter is the same or not. The Absolute's K24A is DBW (Drive-By-Wire) as well. Overall, not a very much different look considering the 40 extra horses.
