That would be plenty sufficient if they keep the weight where it is or even take off some weight.
It also turns the wrong way and I don't think it fits too well in a longitudinal direction. A new transmission needs to be designed as well. It wouldn't be that simple to stick in a K20 or K24. Also, I find it difficult to imagine a 4 cylinder engine that will put out 260-280 HP that either doesn't have forced induction or doesn't idle like crap.
Anyways, the Integra/RSX was always kind of the oddball of the Acura line, being more like a Honda than an Acura. Would the RSX fit into the Honda line to fill the low end sports car void left by the Prelude?
