differences between Si and RSX-S motors?
I was just wondering if someone could explain the differences between the K20 in the Si and the one found in the RSX-S? I know that the most recent RSX-S motor has 13 more hp and something like 4 more lb-ft of torque. Why is this and what can I do to bring my Si closer to those specs?

The type S has vtec on both cams where as the SI has it only on the intake side, plus the type S has VTC on the exhaust side. The intake and exhaust manis are better also.

to the wheel both put down almost the same power. both have the same head, only difference is the si has a better intake manifold. same exact lift duration on the cams - including vtec on both intake and exhaust cams; also vct. k20z3 > k20a2 or k20z1

your 210 horsepower source was probably a webpage or article written before the revised horsepower ratings. with the 2004 scale, everything "appeared" to lose some power. it didn't, really. they just changed the rating system.
