Default possible engine swap..PLEASE READ!!!

I have a 2003 Accord coupe I4 K24A Engine with 160 hP but is it possible to swap this engine with a k24A2 from a Acura TSX that has about 200 HP V4? That extra boost would be nice! Please Respond!!

Thank!! Would the car be faster than a regular TSX because of the 200 HP and Lighter Car?

2003 Accord coupe w/ I4 engine = 2994lbs

2006 TSX sedan w/ I4 engine = 3257lbs

So how much quicker will your car be, weighing 300lbs less than the TSX? I dont know, Im just putting the data out there and hoping one of those other smart guys out here will know lol. But Im sure it will probably be a little quicker at least.

100 pounds unsprung = .1 seconds of your quarter

ok this is how you need to build it...

K24A2
Civic SI intake manifold
RSX Type R Throttle body

thats about it... you could also use some more agressive cams... cam gears and lightweight... or even under driven pullys... that will bring your engine up to AMAZING... 260ish HP maby more... Hondata is your freind
