Default motor swap?

Hey all, i was reading in a honda tuning mag about a month back and they had an article on a tsx engine swap(k20a) i think... into a 1997 accord 4 door. thats the same chasis i have and was wondering what yall thought about that swap? I like idea of a h22, but that has been really run into the ground... so i was thinking that this was a good alternative and they were saying that this is the way to go. just wondering if any1 had any more info than the mag could give about the performance specs... thanks

I can't really give you any help with the swap but that would be awesome. The K series motors are killer.

wouldnt the k24 is much better than k20 since the accord is so heavy???

I've always wanted to put a mid mounted v6 or v8 in my accord coupe. Were talking some serious modding and fabricating, I would probably need to make a whole new frame, so it's kinda overkill to attempt it, but it would be killer.

I know I'll never do it, but I've been mentally working it out.

K24a drive line swap would be a better swap larger displacement and more torque but less HP. Due to weight of accord more torque is advantageous for daily driving.

Do you guys think this is possible on a 93 Honda Accord LX? The F22b2 engine fits on both cars so it has me thinking....

the TSX is a full vtec K24A2...the RSX type-s is a K20A2 and the new civic SIs are K20A2s a accord engine with a K20A2 head is better than a K24A2... a 03 accord k24 stock keeps up with a H22 vtec...
