Want this question answered?
In my opinion it would be the b16a out of the civic si or the k20 out of an rsx-s
It would be a drivers race. The SI has a modified version of the RSX Type S engine which ouputs slightly less (197hp in the SI to 210hp in the RSX) horsepower due to better emissions controls. Both are 6 speed manuals with the same compression ratio. The RSX has a slight advantage in the torqe department, which is only at a higher rev anyways, so on that platform they are about dead even. The Si has a curb weight of 2877lbs whereas the RSX Type S is 2790. Not a big advantage but one to be noted none the less. In overall specs the RSX Type S has the slight advantage and on paper would be the favorite. Like I said earlier, it would really be a drivers race. No matter which wins I'd take an RSX Type S over the Civic Si anyday.... but hey that's just my opinion.

Premium unleaded. It says this on the gas tank cap.
If you are looking at the fastest production versions of either car (ex: RSX Type S vs. Prelude VTEC), then the RSX would about match with the Prelude 0-60, but be a little faster in the quarter mile.
The 2002-2004 as well as 2005-2006 Acura rsx base models come in 5spd manual, or automatic. while the Type S models only come in 6spd manual
Unless it is an automatic ecu you can buy an immobilizer by pass unit from K-Tuned or Hybrid Racing. Google this ""k-tuned immobilizer bypass" and the little box wires into the engine harness that connects to the ecu and will work fine. I have it on my 98 Civic because I put an RSX-S engine into it.
