[Out Of Si-ght 06]

Hey guys, just wondering how much it would cost to swap a tsx bottom end into my Si. I will be using forged ips pistons and rods in the bottom end also. This is the first step toward the turbo kit ill be doing soon. I plan on using a GT40R precision Turbo but thats another story. so if anyone can help me out with a price or how hard it would be to do the swap let me know. Thanks - Ryan

this is what hasport said it cost them to build up their SI with the tsx bottom.

that doesnt give the info I wanted. I just want to know how much a Tsx bottom end will cost me and how much/how hard is it to install? not interested in a supercharger or such...

call a junkyard and ask how much it would cost to get a bottom end out of a crashed car, then call a perfomance shop that specializes in engine swaps and ask them how much they would charge to install it...

I was actually looking for a price on a brand new bottom end from the dealer, so my stupid ass should have used common sense and called my local dealer... sry guys

yeah, if you want a new one - just call up acura parts dept. They can give you a price for the bottom end alone. I believe the whole engine is around $5500- ish.

I thought they swapped the entire thing in, with the exception of a few things that didn't need to be swapped...?

you'd be correct. They did swap the whole thing in. For some reason I thought they put a different head on it. my bad.

7k is cheap as hell for entire swap plus supercharger. Do they keep your old motor?

go to acuraautomotiveparts.org (website for an acura parts dept. located here in georgia)

you will get the entire bottom end for way less than you would if you went to a stealership.

I'm guessing when you swap the bottom end, you'll still be using the DBW throttle and it won't make a difference with the CAN BUS signal for the digital gauge? I'm wondering how that what go together and what ECU you'd end up using.

probably looking at 5-6k$$

why get a brand new bottom end if you plan to rebuild it. Doesnt make sense to me.

Because of the initially higher aftermarket support with the K24.

I believe he means - why buy a NEW bottom end. Meaning why not go to buy a used engine if you plan on rebuilding it. Save yourself some cash.

Wouldn't the si head flow better than the tsx?
