Vehicle Fitment

This engine is a direct performance replacement for the following North American CL9 Generation models:

  • Acura TSX: 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008

  • Chassis Compatibility: Also, the #1 choice for “K-Swaps” into Honda Civics (EK/EG), Integra’s (DC2), and RSX (DC5) models using aftermarket mounts.

  • Note: This is the high-performance version; it is not the low-output K24A found in the CR-V or Accord.

JDM to USDM Installation & Swap Guide

To ensure 100% compatibility and a seamless “Plug-and-Play” installation into your USDM TSX, professional installers recommend the following “External Swap” steps:

  1. Intake & Exhaust Manifolds: You must transfer your original USDM Intake Manifold and Exhaust Manifold. JDM versions may lack specific vacuum ports or the drive-by-wire throttle body configuration required for your TSX.

  2. Engine Sensors: Transfer your original USDM Camshaft, Crankshaft, and Knock Sensors. The JDM sensors may have different plug orientations that will not click into your USDM harness.

  3. Wiring Harness: Always retain and use your original USDM Engine Wiring Harness. JDM harnesses are configured for right-hand drive and will not reach the ECU located behind the dash.

  4. Crankshaft Pulley: Inspect the JDM pulley; if the belt ribs or diameter differ from your original, swap your USDM Pulley to ensure your power steering and AC work perfectly.

  5. Water Housing: Swap your original USDM Water Outlet and Thermostat Housing to ensure all heater hoses and coolant sensors align with your radiator setup.

  6. VTEC Solenoid: While the JDM unit is high-performance, it is best practice to swap your USDM VTEC Oil Pressure Switch to the JDM solenoid to prevent any ECU communication errors.

What is included

You receive exactly what is pictured. Engines are supplied as a long block assembly with the components visible in the photos. Accessories such as the alternator, starter, intake manifold or sensors are included only where you can see them on the unit, so check the photographs before ordering and ask us if anything is unclear.

Before you order

  • Confirm the engine code against your own vehicle, not just the model year.
  • Japanese market units can differ from the US version in intake, loom and sensors.
  • Replace the timing components, water pump and seals while the unit is out. It is cheap insurance on an engine this age.
  • Keep your original accessories until the swap is finished and running.
