This is the first successful J-series V6 swap into a 1st gen TSX.
In a nutshell, this is an expensive swap and requires advanced skills and substantial
patience to execute. I initially just wanted more torque, but the process involved learning
a great deal about Honda J-series powertrains and quite a bit of experimenting and engineering.
The project actually started in 2011 and the first drive was in early 2013, albeit with a J35A8
powertrain. The car now has a J37A2 from a 2010 RL. The project has morphed into a
complete restoration and JDM CL7 conversion.
