YES all you need is the engine,ecu ..take k20a3 out put k20a2 in or k20a or k24xx the tanny bolts up to them all but the k23a1, which is the engineout of the rdx. you should just put a k24a2 in which is out of a tsx. more tq is always better and the auto should be able to handel it just fine.

ok use k pro and have a nice day... k24a2 would be a better choice since you can get auto ecu for that. even a reflash could work i would think... email hondata

You realise you just basicly told him put an A2 head on an A3 block.. NO.. NO.. AND NO....!!!!!!

there is more to it then just "putting" an A2 head on an A3 block... it doesn't work that way. Where do these people breed!!!! to much chlorine in their damn gene pool.
