how about tsx K24A2 is that a good swap Im finding them in my area for 2k just the engine

[EMK20a2]

that is a good swap, I am honestly not sure about the availability of engine mounts though. I think the big difference is the tranny mounts with that swap, someone correct me if I am wrong.

yo x looking at the o2 sensor DIY it looks like ur wiring the relay to the ecu, how do you wiring the o2 sensor, do u think u can take a pic of your 02 sensor and how you wired it up, it would really help thanks

[xproductionz]

its not hard to understand.. what part u dont understand.. its pretty much straight forward...

its like wire A goes to wire B... plain and simple... try reading it again but take it in steps

for me to take pics i would have to tear apart my whole harness...

on a side note if your note good or never done complicated wiring i suggest you have someone that does help you out

yo xproductionz. I PM'd you but got no reply.

k24a2 is a good swap but you'd have to change tranny because theirs arent any mounts currently for the tranny in our chassis. the head is a little bit more restricted than a type s head aswell. If we had the tranny mounts it would be the best swap imo. the type r gears are 2 short for me....when it comes to drag racing that is. Other than that i feel thats its best to just swap a type s engine in the car and then later upgrade to the 2.4l bottom end. K-series = expensive.

[EMK20a2]

Those 2.4 frank swaps are amazing especially with a bit of NA building, 250-270+whp is very realistic with a setup like that.

where can I find engine mounts other than hasport?

[civiclowlife]

and what transmission would bolt on to a tsx?

[EMK20a2]

any of the K series trannies. The ones that you can get the mounts for would be the k20a3 (EP3 5spd), K20a2 (RSX type S 6 speed), and a K20a (Integra type R 6 speed). Any of the newer Si/type S trannies will work, but the speed sensor is different, so it is difficult to get the speedo to work with this tranny. I would steer clear of any of the 05-06 type S or Si trannies due to the difficulty.

^ Its super easy to get the 05-06 Transmission to work, you just tap one wire from the ECU (E26 on 05 - 06 ECUs) to the C101 (On the civic side interior, Pin 6 Blu/Wht) connector and thats it... you have Speedo. I am running a complete k20z1 with tranny and wire harness and everything works.

[EMK20a2]

Good to know, I never had the need to research, I just have heard how difficult it was. Do you need the 05-06 ECU?? I know that you can use Kpro for something related to the speed sensor, maybe that is for getting the older ECUs to work with the newer trannies.

The nice things about those trannies is you can get them fairly cheap.

[Nameless]

^ 05-06 transmission is way better than the 02-04 just because of the 4.7FD, and less problems all together(like grinding etc)

Older ECUs work only if they are KPRO'd, and you have the 05-06 Adapter harness. It takes a little bit of rewiring but not too hard if you have access to wiring schematics.

When is someone going to wright a book, like they used too.
