    I dont exactly know what year ken's dad's RSX-S is, but the 05's have 210 HP stock and the iVTEC. The iVTEC stands for intelligent VTEC. From Acura's website :

    For the RSX and RSX Type S, The Acura Engineers took the VTEC technology to the next level. Rather than adjusting valve lift, timing and duration at a specific RPM, this cutting-edge technology adjusts constantly depending on engine speed.

        210 horses now! sigh 05 why 05 why not 06. yeah the rsx im getting is the type s with 200 horses. its an 02. so you guys suggest i go with the original motor in it? i believe its k20 from what im understanding. Im not however very familiar with turbo and where the greatest gains will be. but from what i have learned, if i can get a v 6 in under the hood, i can have two turbos sequential therefore reducing turbo lag. While having one fat ass turbo would create a lot of lag. Am i correct in what im saying, cause i still dont know very much. thanks for the help.

        RSX TYPE S...HAS FINALLY COME.

          well if u like k20 200hp over the h22 220hp. i guess i would take the h22 but thats a prelude motor who puts a h22 in a rsx i dont no there both great motors 😄

          Oh boy, only type S makes that power. Plus there's plenty of people putting 300+ whp on stock bottom end rsxs and they run an even higher compression than a regular h22

            Why would you replace the k20 is what I don't understand. Its Honda's newest and best engine next to the k24.

                  Like you said in other posts it just depends what kind of power levels you want as to the price of them. I've seen people piece together kits for themselves for very reasonable prices.

                    your right on the part of piecing a kit togather cheaper it still costes lots of money

                      I have an H22A, the K20 is a superior engine in every way. Both technologically and with aftermarket support. The K24 is 'okay' though, and people usually only want its bottom end to increase the displacement on the K20.

                        Anyone telling you to swap a B-series or H-series should be shot cause they obviously know NOTHING about honda's, or cars in general. If you want to go big power, swap in the k24 block and keep the K20a2 head from you type S...its almost just as good flowing head as the K20a head found on the type R's. If you doin't know what I'm talking about, start reading HERE

                            You obviously don't know much about swaps. You find a mount kit for a H/B series into an RSX and let me know what it costs. Plus, you're downgrading and making less horsepower.

                            Fact of the matter is, it'd be absolutely moronic to swap any motor into an RSX, especially a previous generation. You'd be looking at MORE money and LESS power. This = poor hp/dollar ratio

                                Not off the line but I'm quite sure it could kill it in a roll.

                                $5 on the RSX

                                    Word on the street is that GraveDigger said he could beat you.

                                    He does have 2 more cylinders!

                                        I would actually say that RSX-S and Prelude VTEC are evenly matched. Although the K20 features both variable valve timing and cam phasing, the H22A does make up for that in sheer displacement. Two litres against two point two litres, both having two hundred horses. Although the fourth gen Prelude handles well, I'd be willing to guess that an RSX handles better. The H22A is a heavier block that causes all the weight to be distributed in the front.

                                          Yeah, you do have the slowest car on the street. About every fourth gen Prelude out there has an H22A, its nothing uncommon anymore.
