Here is where I got my infromation.

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 argumentHigh Boost + High Compression = High Horsepower (teh win), but the problem runs with detonation. Which is why you'd need race fuel to counter it.
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. -

nvsgsx...nope the type s is still a 2liter
why would he swap from a 200hp k20 to an H22?
doesnt the k20 have something different like i-VTEC...im not sure what exactly has changed but id like to see someone mess around with that motor a little bit and i bet youd get some good results...

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

I-VTEC>VTEC
I-VTEC is very new, as in 2002 it was released when the 2002 HB Si came out. The k20 and the k24 are awsome engines and have tons of potential. ( Correct me if I'm wrong )
VTEC has been around since 88 in japan. H22 is a great engine but I'm pretty sure that no one makes mounts for a RSX H22 swap. And WHY WOULD THEY?

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.

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

you have a 4 banger right and what kind a v6 would u get? just stick with the motor u got and turbo just a reminder to turbo a honda is a lot of money im going to turbo my prelude and ive been looking at prices and its not cheap and you cant run much more then 8 psi without sleeving your motor talk to nick-gsr his car is sick
