curious about the HP diiferances between the 04 TSX and the 04 Accord 4cyl

I see they have this in common: 16-valve, DOHC, 2.4-liter, i-VTEC 4-cylinder

And I see they have these differances:
TSX: peak HP @ 6800 rpm
Accord: peak HP @ 5500 rpm

TSX compression: 10.5:1
Accord compression: 9.7:1

But can you guys tell me what physically/specifically seperates the 2 engines? Is there some differant piece or part? Or is it just software?


thanks

 

different internals, electronics, tranny, etc....

tsx > 4cyl accord

v6 6spd > tsx (imo)

 

Well compression would have to do with the power rating as well along with redline. I would have to say the tsx is tuned a little better and looks to use different internals (notices the higher compression).

 

As far as asthetics go, I like the TSX. It just looks sleeker. Which is not to say bad things about the Accord. I love Accords, which is why I currently own two, but the TSX is really an Accord anyway. Plus they (the TSX) just handle like a smaller car. Drive each and then see what you think

Internals, cylinder head, ECU, DBW throttle body. Those are the big ones.

 

What does "internals" mean exactly?

 

pistons, rods, you know internals... the **** you cant see.
