The Type R comes with the K20A that has a bhp of 220. If your only running 200 bhp then there could be something wrong with yours. That or someone did an engine swap and put in the K20A2 that comes in the RSX Type S without you knowing. Either way you should get your car checked out.

Actually, the 220 version is only found in the (very rare) JDM RSX (Integra) Type R.

The difference are the internals. Different cams, or fuel injectors, or the computer. Maybe multiple reasons. You gotta see what setup the K20A is running and where it is different than yours. Then you switch out the parts or reprogram the computer to exactly the other is running and you should put out the same power. At least from what I know. It could be more complicated than that.

yeh i get thats theres somthing different but what? I wuda fort that it wud be somthing simple like Higher Profile Cams or Bigger TB. Isnt there anyway of finding out? You guys seemed to know alot baout all these Engines but not this 1!!!! With my MG that i had it had a smaller brother that had the same engine but ran on a smaller TB so it produced less Poneys...Could this be how Honda Limit there Cars too???
