one of my friends got one. It's just awesome in white.
To give you an idea, when I was stock, he was about a car in front of me 9 times out of ten. It's a very little bit faster than mine was.
But now, he's a car behind.
(only with intake & exhaust)
But god I like this car. It's so nice, well builded, a perfect ALL-AROUND vehicle.

what? your saying your EP3 is taking other EP3s with TSX engines? please elaborate or be more specific/detailed... i dont think i understood
anyways, the TSX engine is very potent. if you want know to from someone who has it done, talk to hotwheelz from www.clubrsx.com, he has one in an RSX which is basically the same shit
i would probably just do a K24A4 (accord) block with K20A2 (rsx type s head) instead, it will save you money and it will be easier to find and to put into your car
and as for how fast, it should be similar to an RSX type S, but quicker off the line and all that good stuff. you will have plenty of torque to enjoy

naaahhhhh. I was talking about a real TSX. An EP with that engine would be a killer.
As for mine, I'm thinking more and more about the A2 head swap. Problem is always the same, It will kill my warranty. That's why I'm more towards other mods for now. But you know how it is, you never get enough.
The block swap is also a good idea, but our k20 is a very solid engine indeed.
I'm not a ''passive'' driver at all, and my car redlines about 50 times a day. No signs of fatigue whatsoever and I'm close to 40 clicks. That engine has very strong internals and many EP owners are going turbo with a stock K20A3.
HP & TQ gains vs $$ for the block swap is not a must for now. Well not for the power she's producing anyway. If I decide to go with boost, well it's another story... The K24 will be the way to go.

sounds cool, you sound like me the way you drive... redline 50 times a day :laugh:
also, i would just keep your block and rather just do a rebuild with eagle rods and some forged pistons, it would cost about the same as a block swap but you would be set in terms of bottom end (with the kick-ass sleeves and all)
anyways, let me know if you are going to do a headswap, motorswap, or anything like that... i'd be interested to know! k-series are my thang :bigup:

well, technically its more then 2, but thats the basic basic idea
there is:
K20A2 - type s
K24A2 - TSX
K20A - This one counts for like 4 different engines that fall under the 3-lobe system, being JDM Civics, Integras, and Accords alike... and then there is the UKDM, not to mention some that i probably dont even know about... lol
oh, and the K20Z1, being the NEW type S engine

Just because he has an ITR doesn't mean he has class and savoir vivre
He's just a sad alround dude that gets pleasure in bashing just because he believes so also hides behind a screen and false names too*fag*
He digs the hole and burns the bridges all by himself and will suffer for it!!!
Since he knows more ...no more help from me thats for sure *td*

ac can be done
firewall pushed back? :laugh: no
hasport mounts
change rad location yes, not hard *tu*
there isnt much to be done in terms of custom
Yeah about the firewall, its just a theory I dunno for sure. How do you know? You tried one? Its a car that can easely support a b18/b20, but 2.4L? Thats kinda bigger...

the TSX engine is the same thing as an RSX engine with 19.7mm more deck height, which has nothing to do with the firewall
