I was thinking since the new Civic Si hatch is going to have a 2.0L i-VTEC engine with 160hp (I assume the same one available in the base RSX) then it should be feasible to swap in the RSX Type-S 2.0L 200hp i-VTEC engine. Man would that be a dope ride. The only problem and I do not know if it really would be a problem--would be getting the 6spd RTS tranny to work with the rally style shifter for the Civic Si.

Any thoughts? I am sure these engines are expensive as crap right now.....but just wait til a few start crashing.
