Default Differences in Accord vs TSX Engines

What is the differences between the 04 2.4L TSX Engine and the 03-05 2.4L Accord Engines. I know the obvious answer is the compression ratio is different. I also know they are both K series engines but are they are same block or not? I know I keep seeing something come up about a K20 and a K24 which is the Accord and which is the TSX or are they the same?

I have an 03 Accord I'd like to be able to get a little more power out of without a Turbo and this should help me in my research.
Thanks.

TSX engine is also "drive by wire" which is different from the Accord's.

k24 is the accord/tsx motor and k20 is the rsx motor

the only diff in the accord and tsx is like you said compression ratio
all in all just bolt on the head from a tsx to your accord and its pretty much the same motor give or take a few HP.
