Honda Car Forum

From what i have read the engines are the same. What would it take to get 200hp from my accord's 2.4 engine. Is it possible without breaking the bank, or should I just trade my Honda in for the Acura? Please help , someone who knows cars.. Thank you...

My advice would be to trade in your Accord for a V6 accord since it is less than the TSX and much, much faster. But if you really like the TSX engine, you should get a TSX. Although the K-series block is the same, both engines are tuned very differently because they are in very different cars. To get your Accord's K24 to have the same hp as the TSX's K24, you would pretty much need a motor swap which would indeed break the bank. But remember, there are many other ways to increase hp, including simply purchasing a $20 air filter from a company like K and N (which won't void your warrenty).

The TSX has a 200 hp engine...it's slower than the Accord (like the guy above me said...( we own one...my husband drives it and complains it doesn't go as fast as my RSX-S...of course not, it's heavier than my car, less torque and has those stupid Michelin (no go) tires...I told him not to buy it, to get the Accord 240 hp, but no...he didn't listen so I tell him to shut up, he bought it and now he has to drive it.)So if you want a slower, heavier car than your Accord...go for a TSX...you won't be dissapointed...slow and steady like a boat on the ocean....

if this is the accord with the k24 then yea... just gotta change somethings.. i say take some time and do things right... check out honda-tech.com for more advice and tips...
