Engine Swap for Base to Type S

Engine Swap for Base to Type S
My 2003 Acura TL engine threw a rod and now I need a new one. I was thinking of upgrading from the base model to the Type-S motor. Does anyone know if this will be a direct fit or will I have to do anything else?

While I cannot answer your question, I do have a question you should answer to make your request more clear to folks reading your words:
Are you talking about sourcing an engine from a 2G Type S, or are you referring to a 3G TL-S?

The IMRC is powered by a IMRC relay box module thing under the driver's side dash. The Type-S ECU powers that box, so you would need that box and wiring to use IMRC. I think it would be easier for you to just delete the IMRC valve, so you get the max power at high RPM. You would lose a little torque at the bottom end though.
