I'm looking into purchasing a new RSX.
Thanks..
The EP3 Civic SI hatchback has a detuned version of the base RSX engine. No other (stock) USDM Civic is sold with a K series motor.
While the base RSX engine is a nice smooth high quality engine, it doesn't have the third cam profile that the K20A2 (Type-S engine) has and as a result doesn't have the top end power.
