He probably means Sport. As Micah implied, mismatching the two would not get him anywhere.
He should have either A. Replaced with a stock engine, or B. Done a full Si drivetrain swap (longblock, turbo, transmission, ecu, exhaust, intake, MAF, suspension, brakes, wheels, interior). With B he would have some serious bragging rights. With A he simply has a car that will never run as intended without a custom tune.

My custom tune has everything copied from the Si basemap and then the tuner moved on from there!

From what I see on Wikipedia is the L15B7 1496cc and on my spec sheet is the L15BA 1498cc.
Bore x stroke is 73.0 mm Ă— 89.4 mm vs 73.0mm x 89.5mm, compression is the same (10.6:1).
Power from B7 174hp @ 6000rpm vs 182hp @ 5500rpm
Looks like the L15BA makes a true 2hp per cubic inch, whereas its American counterpart only can push 1.9hp/cu in. Its because hatchback is bigger, weighs more, they give it a little more. Keep the sedan and coupe at 174 for longer life. But you get your buddy in the backseat (you know the one that eats 10 cheeseburgers a day) and that sedan has matched the weight of a sport model. Now you definitely need those extra 6 horses to tote his lard ass around. Course at the rate hes going, soon to have coronary, that back seat will be empty once more, and ready for Mary Jane rotten crotch and her pretty pink panties.

LOL Sport sedan is hardly the new big boy on the block. Its a gimmick car labeled "sport" bc is has some Si wheels and center exhaust. Its still an awful car to drive

I think trading 7” touch and moonroof is worth it for blacked out chrome and 18” wheels. Got that extra 6hp too. Stock stereo is junk anyways and I never used the touchscreen

Lol miss shift 1-2-3-2 wot, put in 2nd gear at 140km/h, the car ran fine 2 mounth after this over rev but i bent 3 rod and one morning i started the car and the engine started to knocked like hammer!
Just want to mentioned that now if you run flashpro or ktuner, peak boost of the turbo is now part of the freeze data, even if you back to stock, they can see everything, they saw my turbo is reaching 26.8psi, they saw the over rev did 2 mounth earlier, they saw my ecu was flashed 7 times! so bye bye warranty.
Here Honda dealers are now wireless connected with honda canada they plug their new tool to obd port and send data via internet to honda canada. Honda wanted to bill me 10 000$ for an new engine without labor! Lol i bought the engine for 1500$ CAN, plus oil, prestone,and some very costly gasket, this cost me 2000$.
Where did you buy your engine?
