Well, I guess my true question would be what engine would have the most potential to build. In the the opinions of the HT members the would it be the K20A2 or the H22A4. I have worked with FI K20's and I like them a lot. 500 hp seems easy but, I drive a Prelude and love it by the way. So I was considering building it, but alas my experience with the K20 has been quite good and so I was hoping for some guidence. Of course I would have to sell the Lude sadly and by the RSX .

if you want power, go w/ a turbo or supercharger. or better yeat a v8. but if are reffering to NA power then you are right.

its all about what you really like. its going to be a lot of work eathier way. if your lucky enough to have a friend w/rsx swap cars for a weekend, see if you could stand driving it forever.

if you were to build a k series, go w/k24 block/k20 head.
