yes you might be familiar with hondas but apparently you are pretty new to forums cause you must not have search at all.

to begin with there is a guy currently working on doing a MT swap in his auto. you would have found this if you would have searched. he is only swapping to the tsx MT but atleast it is a start in the right direction.

also to swap to the k20 head you would need a programmable eco like a hondata k-pro. there is no k-pro currently available for the tsx. the car is drive by wire which makes throttle control very difficult to almost impossible as of now. the only way would be to go with the rsx k-pro switch to an accord throttle body with a cable throttle. in the process of doing this you would lose the use of your factory gauges and need to go custom. you would also lose the use of your heating and air conditioning, abs, and traction control. all of this you could have found in a search also.

if losing all of that does not matter to you then more power to you cause the possibilities for engine configurations are up to you.

the ecu you problem is the reason there are currently no turbo charger kits available for the tsx. which you could also have found through search.

This is what happens when you dont pay attention in English class.

There is someone who is in the process of swapping an AT to an MT. Search.

prospec240, everything you've asked about has been covered several times. Try searching. If you don't come up with anything or need help, feel free to PM moderator jlukja, he'll be glad to help.
























j/k you can contact me via PM as well. I'll leave this open for awhile so you can respond. And welcome to the site. Don't worry too much about these guys, they have small penises so they're just trying to feel important.

If you'd stop spying on all of us at the urinals, we could continue to talk about our big penises... but no, you're just so damn interested in penises.

You know, I was going to post something about his use (misuse) of English but I restrained myself. I was going to give the 1-post newb a break. Joerockt, however, doesn't pull punches. Oh, and prospec240, dom is our local expert on going from AT to MT, PM him.

Since our motor is 180 degrees turned, you just have to do the same thing with the head and it will work.
