From the other thread:
I sure hope you change those plans and be AZ's first K20A TSX!

It now goes for a bargain price of $5,500.00. I remember when it was $6500 when I was considering a k-series swap for my DC2.

If not CCC, any takers? Forget about A/C and the USDM gages, however.

Or better yet, build a frankenstein setup with your current K24 block!

 

that would be the first tsx with a k20 to be exact.

however I am not ready to lose my ac yet. I plan on keeping my ac always to be exact. I will just have to do a euro r front clip on the front of the car and then I will still have ac.

 

...But why lose 400cc with the added torque and make a Matrix out of a TSX?

 

losing 400cc also equal to an addition of 20hp , and an increase amounts of mods, including SPoon 70mm trottle Body and ALOT more goodies....

 

Yet still it would be slower.

 

INCORRECT!!!! with the swap to a euro r motor I would also gain throttle cable and the ability to use greddy emanage and use a HKS turbo system made for the euro r. currently available for a stage 2 turbo now possibly a stage 3.

 

^ That's what I was thinking =P

At an additional 4-5G's

Is 10k worth it to mutate you TSX into a boosted Euro-R freak (that'll be awesome to see)? Maybe for you

 

Noob forgot the red text

 

It is if you are truly building a show car! With that Engine and the Greddy Turbo, that's a LOT of points towards the JDM category!! Finish it off with a RHD conversion...and I can say you can win almost at any shows!!

 

Meh. A big waste of money for nothing. You can do the throttle cable swap for a lot less and still keep the K24A2engine block, build around it and make even easier gains.

 

I share your excitement.

 

You're missing the point -- it wouldn't be JDM.

 

I know that. But a turbo setup wouldn't be either... unless he scavenged an RDX..

 

a turbo setupd would be very JDM if I orderd the turbo setup from HKS that is for the accord euro r. I mean that is only sold in japan and I would have to have it imported.

 

So you get points at car shows specifically for spending a ton of money on something that you could get a nearly identical version of here?

Would you get even more points if you just piled a few million yen into the passenger seat? Or wove seat covers from 1000 yen bills or something?

 

I am not really going to try to explain the show scene to someone who appears to think JDM Conversions and the Show scene are stupid.

 

"If you don't know, I'm certainly not going to tell you..."

just playing, if that's what you wanna do with your money, have fun with it.

 

I like the Yen in the passenger seat idea.

 

i am just wondering...why is Euro-R faster then?

 

It weighs a lot less, and has shorter gearing.

 

that's all?
so if we just change gear ratio and go on diet we'd be good to go?

 

Well it's not like it's a lot faster anyway. I think they run 0-60 in 6.9 vs. 7.2 for a TSX.

 

ha..thx for the info

----------
now i don't get what's with all the hype about Euro-R....

 

It's JDM yo!

 

And the Euro-R sticker looks ricier oops i mean better than the Type-S sticker even though our car is more like the latter.
