Rsx manifold swap ( so confused)

Okay long story short, I ordered... of all things a weapon r intake manifold (I know I got it kinda cheap) for my tsx, went to install doesn't fit. Not even close. Turns out it's for an rsx and the company doesn't want to take it back. So I'm trying to make it fit. I currently have the manifold , coolant delete, Hondata gasket, rdx injectors. But from what I understand the throttle body won't bolt in to the rsx manifold, but I can't find an adapter. Can anybody help me, going nuts and it keeps getting more and more expensive. Any input would be great. Thnaks

Sell it and buy the one made for your car. If you got it cheap you could probably come up on top.

Yeah seems like a lot of work for questionable results. I'd put it on eBay and/or Craigslist and get the right parts.

Yeah I've tried not getting anyone to buy , and don't really want to lose money on it. Guess I'm stuck.

Lesson learned, don't buy deals of the century just because it's a deal. You end up losing money every time

Yeah it wasn't like a great deal. It was cheaper than other options and a little cheaper than other sites. 😔

Well even if you need to sell it for a little bit of a loss, it's probably still better/cheaper than what it would cost to "make it work".

Or, you could use this as an opportunity to go buy a RSX to install it on!

Does anyone make manifolds for a TSX spec K24Z? I'm assuming they make ones for the 12-15 Civic Si.

Did you buy it because it said it would fit a K24A2 TSX? Maybe that's why they won't take it back.

Haven't heard of anyone manifold swapping the K24Z. What are the gains like? What are you tuning the car with?

I think they do make them though not entirely sure anymore😑.
It said it fits a k24z3 09-14 tsx, shit is retarded they won't take it back.
Talked to Chris at kseriesparts and he said they've never seen an adapter to make that setup work, but dude from weapon r said it should work😂. Anyway put it back on Craigslist, see what happens.
Not sure about exact gains company claim is b.s. cuz I don't think weapon r does much r&d or dyno testing for that matter. But I would have been happy with 7-10hp. I have a flashpro btw.

Exact email From weapon r, 😂

The manifold was made from an Acura rsx K20 engine.
But we have heard of it being able to install on a K24 engine You might have to search the internet for the install of other owners to do so Chris Wanstrath Weapon-R Sales Manager 180 Sylvester Rd. South San Francisco CA, 94080 Tel: 650-877-8280 Fax: 650-877-8290
