I heard skunk2 cams sucks in terms of quality. Some people say for good aggressive cams that maintain OEM reliability, keep your k24 cams and stick it on your k20 top.

the only difference (from what i know) between a k20 and k24 head are the cams, the intake manifold, header, and that the k20 has larger intake and exhaust ports...

forget the K20 head idea, just port and polish K24 head, get some ideal cams that are reliable, an intake and a full header back exhaust with a Hondata reflash and i am sure your call TSX will run faster than a RS Type S...

i think thats cheaper than buying a K20 head, cause then you need to buy K-Pro, and that alone is a grand

correct. the tsx even has the biggest cams made for the k20/24 motors, you could alter the vtc from 25° to 45°, and a light port and polish and your good! no need to change the head for another that´s almost the same with lesser cams!

you won't be able to tune your car. There is no engine management for the tsx. The only way to get 250 whp is to get a ct sc and all the bolt ons.

i think he wants to tune, and thinks that changing out the engine harness for that of an rsx will allow him to run a rsx managment.

i think you would have to mod your underdash (kinda like b and d series cars), i am sure it is doable and or has been done. you are just going to have to spend a few hours on your computer searching the net.

hope you find the info you need to complete your vision, some thing that i would really like to see.

You can run an rsx kpro but you will loose ac,vsa,gauges, and many other things.
