If that engine is for sale, what is going in the TSX that this was in?

Unless the car was a writeoff.

That VIN is very early 5000s? And only 50 miles on it, maybe they have a Project TSX for show? The TSX would not be the greatest choice to swap in a Euro-R engine, all that work importing a jdm engine for 20HP increase, and higher redline?

This is the torque specification of the CL7 Torque (Nm [kgm]/rpm) - 206[21.0]/6000, but I have no idea how to convert that to ft/lb torque.

That would be 206 Nm = 21 Kgm = 152 ft/lb @ 6000rpm

I put "206 N m to ft lb" in google and that's what it gave me, but the # was so low I figured I was converting the wrong units.

So the Euro-R has 12-15 less ft-lbs torque than the TSX, I don't feel so bad about those 20 ponies then. Which leads me to the conclusion, there is no reason to swap a CL7 engine in a TSX.

the cl7 uses the k20a which is a tuners dream. Take alook at kurts dyno in the "who will be first to break 15 seconds" thread. You can easily get 200+hp @ the wheels and 150lbft + at the wheels about about 5000 rpm.

Yes. I believe there are already a couple compaines that make K motor mounts to fit and even EKs too!! Sorry but I forgot the names of the companies. I'm sure if you run a search on www.honda-tech.com. You'll find it there!!!

Under 48 hours to go, not a single bid. I'm curious to see what this engine sells for. I'll be happier knowing there isnt a market for them.
