Default RSX Type-S VS SI

I was told that the SI and the RSX have the same engine components. And althought the RSX is 200 and the SI is 160 that you can get the SI to achieve 200 HP ez since they have most of the same stuff. I was wanting to know how I could go about tweaking my SI to run like the RSX

It's easy to make an Si run like an RSX-S.

Find and RSX-S, pop the hood and take the
engine out. Replace the Si's engine with that
one and voila! you're done.

Seriously, the *base* RSX and the Si have the
same engine. The K20A2 (RSX-S) and K20A3 (Si) engines are similar, but not enough to just
add on some parts and be equal. Browse this forum more and check out k-series.com, sounds like you've got plenty of reading to do.

Are turbo, nitrous or engine swaps considered "Tweaking"

Add certain parts and you might be more than equal. And you do have alot of reading to do. K-series, Ephatch, hell clubrsx, and here.
