has anybody combared (eyeballed) the tsx i4 to see if it would line up in our cars engine bay? Just thinkin about something original. 200hp, 166 tq at 4500 rpms kinda reminds me of an h22a (except for 7100 redline). 10.5 :1 compression may be good for turbo if somebody wants to be original with a 1 gen?

 

nah... nothing would line up right, and the wiring is completely different. not to mention the motor would be ridiculously expensive.

the H22a is better. 10.6:1 compression on the JDM motor and 7800 rpm redline.

besides.. the swap has been done before with the H22a so might as well go with what works.

 

a type R would be nice.. I am sure with CAI/heders/ECU mod the TSX can do 240 HP easy.

 

nah... i dont think there are any plans to make a tsx with an R badge.

the engine potential of the new k-series motors is ridiculous. rsx type-s cars are making in excess of 270whp with i/h/e/cams/ecu upgrade.
