Please don't flame, I tried searching and came up with nothing.

Well, my friend has the opportunity to buy a Fully loaded TSX and at the dealership we work at, At first we were told it just had intake and header on it. But when I started taking a better look at the engine I saw a hondata intake manifold gasket and thought "that's strange, why the hell would someone do that with only intake and header" Then I started looking at the casting marks on the head and check out the casting marks on the RSX type S on our lot and they are the same!!!

I have a lot of experience with B series engines but ZERO with K series, what type of power is my friend looking at with this setup and what ECU/ engine management would it have to be running to make the head work properly?

Thanks Chris

TSX has the same head as an RSX. The TSX has drive by wire and some of the EGR stuff is different. But for the most part they're the same.

I looked at the casting marks on a TSX that was on our lot and the it had marks like RBB03 (or something like that) Then I looked at a RSX type S and the Head said RBB01 (same as the TSX that my friend wants to buy)

Then we looked at a regular RSX (non type S) and it was some other casting marks

So there would be no benefit of the type S head?

 

you would get more answers from K20a.org

no. plus you probably wouldn't be able to get it to work anyways. The casting is the almost exactly the same. There's a few small changes but nothing that would increase/decrease performance.

THCk20eg put down 230/185 with just a header.
