So I've been thinking lately about how nice the 8th gen Si and the RSX type-S sounded when accelerating and crossing over into Vtec.
Knowing that the 8th gen Si/RSX type-S and the 10th gen base engine a somewhat the same bottom-end, would it be possible to swap a head from the old Si/RSX type-S onto the 10th gen's K20? The only thing that might prevent the swap being reliable is the different compression ratios (11:1 for the Si/RSX type-S vs 8:1 for the new Civic).
I know that the K20Z3 head and K24 block has been done a few times and well documented on the forums, but what about this swap?
If it's possible to do it, any ideas on the power figures?
I'm pretty sure no one is going to actually do it because there is a 10th gen Si and CTR available, but what if money wasn't an issue, is it doable?
