nice

i like tsx my first car was integra im a integra fan for life but they are getting older and tsx is naturally the next best thing

they are a bit hard to find though in 6 speed lol
and they are all " never raced" funny that they mention it when the owner is like 19-25 years old

That's very true. I have seen that in some private party ads. But, strangely enough. Most actually have not, in fact, been raced.. Or at least not anymore abused than any 19 yr old owner with a car of any kind. It's the interior that usually took the beating. (leather seat tears, cigarette burns, funky smells, spills of beverages of various colors, boogers and other human nasties.. etc)

Glad I'll never be on that hunt.

i found a tsx and probably will be getting it

but


my fingers are still restless and i cant just let this one go

in the time since i posted last i did manage to install a fully functioning double din with about 90% of the climate control and factory nav still functional which i belive was not done before(except maybe by some russians that dont have internet acess and we will never know)

but im still curious about this fuel system

is the RL fuel systmem same as described here about returnless system or is it completely different animal?
did you mention that the pump is controlled externally with voltage or does it in fact have an intank pressure regulator like the diagram shows

It's a bit of both. It's both a returnless system with its own unique "tweaks" outside of the rest of the K-series.

Learn when to say "when". You're just throwing good money after bad at this point.

Actually, 200K is pretty good. You'll be losing a little oil via the main seal, and maybe a valve seal, but other than that, you're golden with that as a platform.

You'll be using the CL9 Euro/JDM Accord for a lot of your exterior modifications and the K24A4 as your engine platform. Throttle response is best changed by software to the DBW system, Turbocharging is nicest, Supercharger is possible (although you may lose amenities, and harder to make power), and considering that you're about 11.0:1 compression, bolt-on modifications will be easy to come by. Very little needs to be substituted for K20A (DC5R)equipment.

All K-series use a Fuel "Returnless" system. No FMUs or other types of rising rate regulators for you!!

Some cues to check out regarding the CL9
Team Kamui





5Zigen



Spoon Sports



So, I'll go ahead and close this one out, and you can head to either the TSX Forum or the Road Race / Time Attack Forum and create a new build there,

OR.
Start a new thread here if you're planning on using Forced Induction on your TSX. But I'll close off this RL business now.

Glad you made a decision!
