the z1 has more of the same parts that the type r version has that why it make 10 more hp then the a2, well at least thats what wiki says lol

2005 & 2006 RSX Type-S Additional Enhancements:

* The engine intake and exhaust modifications that boost the power of the Type-S models to 210 hp (157 kW) at 7800 rpm (revised to 201 hp (150 kW) in 2006), compared to 200 hp (150 kW) at 7400 rpm on the previous model.
* Higher performance camshafts sourced from the Type-R engine
* An enlarged throttle body sourced from the Type-R engine
* Air intake duct enlarged for increased air flow
* Larger diameter exhaust pipes to increase exhaust flow obtained from the Type-R model
* Catalytic converter optimized to reduce exhaust backpressure
* Larger diameter front strut tower bar gas
* Bushings replaced by bearings on strut mount
* Deck lid spoiler
* 6-speed transmission optimized with a lower final gear ratio for quicker acceleration and carbon synchronizers replacing brass on 5th and 6th gears for a smoother shift feel

Gear Ratios for the 2005 & 2006 revision

Gear Ratios 1st Gear - 3.267 2nd Gear - 2.130 3rd Gear - 1.517 4th Gear - 1.147 5th Gear - 0.921 6th Gear - 0.738 Reverse - 3.583 Final Drive - 4.765

No the camshafts are no the type r cams. The 210 has nothing to do with exhaust it is from the slightly more aggressive cams. The throttle body is not the same as the type r either thus why you need the spacer to use the RBC. Also the Z1 was the NSN4 Trans with a 4.7 final as in a higher final than the 4.4 final, where do you get you information from?
