TL-P to TL-S conversion?
What would it take to convert a TL-P engine into a TL-S? Not the guages, and VSC and all that, just the engine.
So far all I can think of is the throttle body, intake manifold, and i think cams?

@ slide or die @
ya man. starting from internals to cams, intake to ecu and much more. fyi these i listed already make up for the price diff between an -S and a -p not counting rims, interior and a better resale value

Your best bet is to buy the whole engine and ecu. The engine internals are completely different.....
The j32a2 has a better crank, rods and cylinder sleeves from what I have been told. Along with the differences in the cylinder heads.

dont even bother trying, you can find a used low mileage type-s engien cheaper. Then you have to factor in te differences in wiring and you will also need a different ECU. The list goes on and on

lol no. I was involved in an accident a little over a year ago that put my TL under a blazer 
. It was fixed and its the car I still drive today.
Anyhow I was just wondering because I live in Alabama...
...and a full TL-S/CL-S motor down here is insanely expensive, anywhere. I REALLY want kris' car...
