Engine Code

I was curious if my 2013 TSX still has the k24z3 or a different k24 model than the 09-12? Google didn't help and I didn't see a thread on this.

Yea i checked wiki but it never confirmed 2013, and I wanted to assume it was the same as the 09-12 but it seemed like a lot changed. Thanks for the backup!

I just became curious as to what those changes are. did the output (hp & torque) improved?

I have no clue, I don't plan on modding this one since it is a lease, so the performance wasn't really a concern. But it feels pretty healthy for a 2.4 liter and it pulls this pig of a car around pretty well

was the 09-12 sluggish compared to the 13? I haven't driven the 13 tsx but i've driven the 13 ILX 2.4 as a loaner and it's quicker... but only because it's got a lighter chassis.

I think the 13 actually makes 1-2 less HP than the 9-12 due to the slight ECU changes. Im sure its not noticable though.

The MT is way faster. But it's been that way always, not just since the 13.
