Homemade TSX Type S Keeps Getting Better (J35 Swapped CL9!)

J Swapped CL9 TSX Keeps Getting Better: Displacement Up!
By Aaron Gaghagen and Brian Gillespie
Last time we got our homemade TSX Type S with a J32 engine swap running and it sounded sick. Breathing through two exhaust pipes straight out of the block, the J swap sounded like an old school hot rod. As cool as that was, we could not take it for a test drive because we had issues with the clutch. So we pulled the engine and transmission to try to diagnose the problem. While the engine was out we have two major developments that improve our TSX Type S build in a couple ways. Here's a few hints: race car, street car and J35.

So I like looking up where places are, so I can get a better idea of what's going on. I was interested in seeing your "1/8 mile track." Everything you post says California, but after much research, and nearly giving up not being able to find anything from the landmarks I looked up in California, I found you! I'm not going to give it away, but ya...
Making J SWAPS GREAT AGAIN!!!! LOL Gotta love how those rpf's fit hondas
I'm just waiting for the conversion kit to be available or all the info on this swap. I would like to swap my TSX into a J series
love my Tsx's someday i hope to J swap one
How do I get a job with you guys !? Lol can’t wait for the 3rd episode 😎
I wonder how easy it is to do in the 2nd gen tsx. There was a V6 option, stock but you don't see a lot of them.

Not bad at all. Easiest to start with an 08-12 Accord Coupe V6 manual donor. This is the path I took to swap into my 2010 TSX race car. Pretty much drop the Accord subframe with the engine/trans installed and bolt it up to the TSX. Some pin swapping on the chassis harness and I kept the hydro power steering from the Accord (4 cylinder TSX is electric.) More detail on my ig hondarcb. Few videos on youtube also. youtube.com/@RyanBradfieldRacing?si=bxFAic29nTSj0Dt2

Can you not get this horsepower from the k24 already installed😢?
You know, I always wondered if a k24a2 can fit in a 9th gen civic si. Don’t see any forms about it nor think about it since the k24z7 is different.

There's no real advantage to using K24A2 over the K24Z3 that it comes with.
Him and Brant from PFI speed could be best friends !
I'm really surprised they didn't put the boring k24 in the tsx and make a type s with the good k24
I'm a little confused with 1/8th mile figures. I'm green to this for sure, but it seems like even stock 1/4 mile numbers would be lower than 10/11 seconds and the 1/4 mile is twice the distance. Appreciate some help detangling the confusion for me.
@VTECAcademy

The last 1/8th mile goes by much quicker as you're accelerating from 70-80 miles per hour. Also on decent tires on an 1/8th mile track, these times would be lower.

I'm a couple of days behind on my subscriptions but here's my comment for the algorithm... This is a cool build, with how many people have raped the k24's out of most of the manual TSX cars, this might just be the way to go. You can probably find a super clean shell for pretty dirt cheap & J-swap it, hmm.....

Used to think the j30 was reliable til mine left me on the highway last week (oil changed 3k to 3.5k) mechanic can't pinpoint why and suggested new engine. It just shakes while giving it gas then dies without pedal. Was just driving on the highway and rpm started to drop loosing power no noises.
