A RSX-S kit will not work on the new Si, the ECU is different, the throttle is DBW, and the engine bay is different.

The main difference is the casting of the block which fits the Civic engine mounts and not the RSX. Also the tranny is different in the Z (has an LSD). Wait before the warranty on teh car expires before you turbo though, since the dealership won't touch it when you do.
That vehicle ran a k-pro with a piggy back Fit ECU and Hondata said that they will not offer that setup to the public, especially since it requires a lot of modifications.




Right now there are some FI kits available with a reflash, and the S/C kits seem pretty reliable, however the turbo kits still have issues, especially with stalling when in neutral.
