i was reading on honda-tech.com that you can swap your usdm ecu for a euro-r ecu, is it possible and how much power is gained?

what year euro r? and what year is your tsx?

my car is 04, and just wondering if the 03-04 euro r would work

CL9er

the dbw ecu is rbb.... what is the ecu for the euro r.... prb? prc?

That sounds like a disaster and a half, given your engine is not the one in the Euro-R.

I cannot see the gain in swapping an ecu made for a car that has a 2l engine and makes most of the power in the 6-8k rpm range. while our cars are 2.4l and are low/mid power makers. plus the fact that the Euro-R is cable while we have dbw so you would have to swap out the throttle body and run a cable and therefor loose just about everything in the dashboard and the vsa and abs.

the only use for the euro r ecu would be to use a dual ecu harness. use the regualr tsx ecu to run dbw and use the euro r ecu with kpro with the engine.

yes the 2.4l euro accord like the one I have does have the same engine as the TSX, but the Euro-R has a 220hp k20a, we also get a base accord that has a k20a6 which is a 155hp engine same or almost the same as your k20a3 from the 02-05 ep3 si.

but sadly we do not get the Euro-R here in europe it is a jdm model only otherwise I would have gotten one instead of the Type-S.
