Personally I'm not 100% on the advantage or disadvantage of not having an injection pump, but coming from my Cummins where injection pumps were not cheap.. I'm liking the direct feed to the injectors.

Similar price to a vr6 I think, probably 3x the fuel mileage, and pretty quick once tuned. Also for easy to moderate wrenching it's all like Lego.

Edit: but if still between a vr6 and rsx, I would go rsx. Unless a real hatchback is more useful to you.
Through that injection pump out the window!

I have an 05 PD and with a turbo and tune came in at 157hp and 267 tq, it is a lot of fun in Vancouver traffic. 330,000km and still pulling hard. Gives me 42mpg no matter how much coal I roll
