engine difference - 04 Accord 2.4L and TSX

alnug · 03-09-2006, 09:15 AM

Can anyone tell me if there are any engine differences between the 04 Accord 2.4L iVtec and the TSX? specifically I'm wondering if the throttle bodies or intake header are different. Hope someone can help.

Same engine configuration and specifications. Are you referring to the Euro R 2 litre that doesn't used DBW and has a different intake manifold setup?

No I was asking about the 2.4L engines...just that I was thinking of trying these Helix POwer Tower things, they sell one for the 2.4L iVtec accord now. SO i wanted to know whether there are any slight differences with the throttle body and intake manifold..i.e whether one was slightly larger or had extra connectors etc.

It is the same engine. No differences.

I think one is K24, one is B24.

No such thing as a B24 in the Honda engine code range.

thanks for the reply guys....i also don't think there's a B24...i was actually just wanting to know whether the throttle bodies were different...from what i gather maybe they are not..

I have read on some site and magazine compare the K-Series engine. The TSX has K24A2 engine w/ real V-TEC, while the Accord/CRV/Element has the K24A3 engine w/ noisy V-TEC. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

the part number for the Helix Power Tower is SPE-91245....Also there is no such thing as REAL V-Tec lol..Vtec is Vtec but maybe implemented slightly differently.

I don't know how to explain. But go to Yahoo/Google and search for K24 or K series engine, there's a page of explaination there.

He's talking about the UK Accord, which is the TSX in the US and Canada.

Don't they produce different output? I didn't think the 2.5L in the Euro Accord put out as much HP/torque as the TSX.

Im thinking of trying this as I had great luck with my Accord on it.. Ill need to measure the engine room has I had a hell of a time fitting it into my accord
