Default Difference K20a3??? K20C?? Type S??

I saw that there is a 160hp RSX motor, 200hp RSX motor and a 220 JDM RSX motor. Why is there such a different HP rating? Stroke? Bore? Or is it just cams pistons etc etc.... Any info would help.

K20a3 is a rsx base
K20a2 is a Type S
K20a is a Type R

as always the type r parts are better flowing parts so they get more power.

Mostly cams and computers. Compresson. Piston shape. In the case of the K20A3 vs K20A and K20A2, the head design is very different. There are different intake manifolds. It's a long list.

They are all two litre motors, the ones you listed. There are K motors that are bigger displacement, but so far they are slower motors for the Accord, TSX, CRV and other sedans. Even these motors are in the 160-200 HP range, however.
