RDX Intake manifold, Turbocharger, ETS Intercooler, Hondata ECU Flash, Down pipe, XLR8's Lightened Crank Pulley, Exhaust and Intake on a K24a2 with upgraded internals and lower compression.

RDX K23a FWD engine/ trans swap.

K24w with said mods in TSX (DI VTEC Turbo)

Or a complete SH-AWD RDX drivetrain swap into TSX with said mods.



I know I'm a dog for a J series and my interest in turbo's are low (I'm a N/A guy) but our '14 Santa Fe 2.0T Sport just moves. The pull it makes is nice and makes me wonder what it would be like in the TSX's chassis.

I still love the K very very much and think that the good ole' Honda turbo parts I'll come to be more acceptable to Turbocharging after I experience the power through a Honda in a well balanced TSX chassis.


So who will be the first to do it? The K parts (Intake/ exhaust and Turbo and Fuel Injectors) should all be interchangeable. Of course the ECU won't be but a tune and lower compression ratio is all there needs to be to reach similar RDX K23 outputs. That's with the upgraded internals.

The SH-AWD is a stretch but would be nice to have to help put the power down in the turns and at launch. Plus higher all-weather capabilities.


What do you guys think? Who do you think will be the first and how far away are we from it?
