K20A2: '02-04 RSX Type S, 200hp
K20A3: '02-05 Civic Si (I think) 160hp
K20Z1: '05 RSX Type S 210hp
K20??: '06 RSX Typs S 201hp
The K20A has upgrade cams, intake manifold, LSD and ECU. None of this means squat if you plan on modyfing the engine because each one of these items will be upgrade sooner or later.

The 2006 RSX Type S still has the K20Z1. It's rated different for 2006 but it is the exact same engine.

The K20 does have higher compression as mentioned, due to its 11.5:1 compression pistons. The gearing is also different, pretty dramatically from the 02-04, not sure how different from the 05+ though.

I was at Church's Automotive Testing last Monday and Doug from Hondata was there. I told him that I was going to be getting an '06 S2000 and asked why Hondata hadn't made K-Pro for the S2000. He said it was because Honda had made the ECU non-programmable. However, for the '06 S2000 Honda changed their ways and is making the ECU programmable. Doug said that Hondata will be getting an '06 S2000 from Honda within the next month or so and will immediately begin working on a K-Pro for it.
I have ZERO reasons to lie about this. If you have any doubts contact Hondata.

AGAIN. STOP COMPARING CARS. Some of us would just like to compare and contrast engine designs. Wisconsin and Dark Sub Rosa both gave good reasons on why they think one engine design is a better design than the other...and I think they both make good points.
I just think it's silly that some people seemed to actually be upset over our F not being "as good" as the K.

right, and that article was debunked as completely false and untrue. i remember the thread. everything according to honda and according to Daniel F Carney's book (which quotes and gets the information mostly from honda) has said the engine was designed from the ground up.
it is not based off the F20B in any way, shape, or form. that article was proven false and blatently incorrect.

K20a3 is also the base model RSX engine code.
If the '06 S2000 ECU will be programmable, it will only be a matter of time before us AP1 owners will be asking hondata for a <2004 swap with 9K redline feature.
