k24 easy mod?

well alright guys im thinking about picking up a used 5spd auto pretty soon and i want to know more about the modibility of the k24. i know a lot about the k20a2's and how easy it is to mod the K series engine but i really dont know anything specifically about the k24!

so i wanted to know was what are the best bang for the buck mods for an auto tsx? i saw the sticky about the reflash and it had some nice gains! any help would be apreciated guys!

so far i know for a fact if i get the tsx im going to go with :
- ground countrol kit
- hondata
- mostly suspension work

well thanks again guys for any POSTIVE input!

If your speaking strictly engine mods, the K24 has shown strong gains from intake temp reduction. So a cold air intake (Injen or K&N), heat shield (Hondata) and throttle body bypass mod (search for this, Jtso is the source) could get you somewhere between 15-20 whp. Not bad for about $300

Most of the engine mods are external add-on mods (intake, header, cat, exhaust. etc). Hondata refresh is on top of the list for ECU mod. Plenty of suspension mods though.

I agree, although, unless I haven't kept current, I think the Hondata reflash is only available for the '04 TSX. Just making sure he knows that.

True unless you get Rsx wiring harness. I'm running kpro on my 07 tsx motor. Tb swapped with rsx tb, motor response better.
