ok the nsx is a rear wheel drive car so that means u would have to make the rsx a rear wheel drive witch costs lots o money u should have sombody in town build u a LS v-tec they make lots of power but cost alot to do or somthing like thatso you're telling him to sell his k20 motor to run an ls/vtec? that's one of the more retarded things I've ever heard. look into the power potential of your k20 motor, you have a good platform to build off of.

buy a honda civic and put the k20 motor in it....have you ever seen a civic with a 6 speed?? that would be awesome.

I almost did a k20 swap into my 7th gen civic , lots of money but I was going to go through with it, but it was a LOT cheaper just to get the wrx and run better times with that.

Bryce, that kind of compression would require low boost (which is the likely route) or a ridiculously high octane fuel. Although you'd probably see a rod punch a hole through the block before you'd experience detonation. The K24 would be better for a turbo, although I'm fairly certain that AFR is around the 10.0:1 mark as well.

boost magazine (from car & driver i think...) put a supercharger on the k20 and ran like 4.7 psi. actually, there have a been some arguments on honda-tech about which is better for a turbo: high or low compression. low compression means more boost for xxxhp with significant lag, whereas higher compression means less boost for xxxhp with a little less lag. i think the #'s were 9:1 vs 10:1
granted, many other factors come into play (fuel mainly), but that was the basis for the argument -
Here is where I got my infromation.

My original impression was that the K24A was in base, and the high revving VTEC K20 was in type S. Like in Preludes. But I guess both base and type S have a different version of the same engine, K20x.

the k20 is in the regular RSX and has 160 hp
and the k24 is in the Type S and has 200 hp
from what i have heard and seen i must be wrong.
