My question is this that I really was excited about buying my tsx motor, but was later told that the motor is not the 3 lobe cam design as it is the same as the k in the si in terms of the style of vtec it has ( 2 lobe vtec). All I ever hear about the k24 is that the heads are the same but no one ever has talked about what cam design, specs of the cams it has. As I would like to know how true this is as I have never tooken apart a tsx motor and only tooken apart a type s head in a garage to change out for bigger cams.

Thanks again for the help.

P.S. if you dont know the answer just write you would like to know aswell.

 

anyone, anyone?

 

from what i understand is that the tsx head is very similar to the rsx type s head as to where it has vtec on both cams as oppose to the civic si and base rsx which only have vtec on the intake cam i believe. the other models of k24 such as the element, accord, crv dont have the vtec on both cams which is where you may be getting confused. i hope this somewhat helps. someone else might be more elaborate

 

Yeah I have "heard" that the heads are the same design. As I can't tell by looking at the code number on the heads I dont know what I would be looking for. Guys from hondata have said that they " are" Which I dont contest hondata's knowledge just wanted to see if anyone else had experience with this.

thanks

 

This should help.

you'll probably have to buy a new throttle body and ecu, as the tsx has the drive by throttle with no cable unless you know how to make it work an another car.....
