May be a stupid question but i was wondering whats the difference between the two? Im lookn on getting just the 160 horse RSX for insurance purposes and what i can do to get it like the type-s motor or if its possible?

 

The difference is 40 (2002-04) to 50 (2005-06) horsepower. The K20A2/Z1 utilize True VTEC cam profiles on both intake AND exhaust (Non type-s is just intake side). The Intake manifold on the Non-Type-S has dual unequal lenth intake runners, whereas the Type-S has single intake runners on the manifold. Compression is higher (Not sure, I think 11.5:1), and to make everything all the better, a six speed tranny.

 

you are not gona save that much money buying a no type s. the money you spend on geting an extra 40-60 hp you could pay the extra insurance and make over 200whp with the type-s

 

the difrence is realy the headwork and the tranny but u could always swap the heads

Is it possible to do all this to a non type - s? And if so, how expensive?

NO. There are multiple reasons for this. The biggest reasons for this is because the intake runners that reside in the head are so different. Another is that the Type-S K20 has grooves that are machined into the head that hold springs that keep tension on the rocker arms that follow the cams. I need to read up on this again.....***

 

swap the heads and pistons... I'd just buy the Type-s, Though

it depends on what dyno it is, some read higher than others. your telling me stock type s makes 200 whp? even s2k's barely make over 200..

 

the type s isnt 200 to the wheels think about it it has to lose some power in the transfer from the crank to the wheels

 

A stock S is Slooow, and it would take quite a bit of money just to get the base to stock S speed.

Many S2K's don't make over 200 WHP

 

Well I eneded up getting a type-s and i love it compared to my gti, soooo much nicer. It isnt that slow stock. It dosnt have as much pull as my dub did but its quick.

 

s2k on a dynojet equals 195-205whp all day long.
