so has anybody ever figured out if this will definitely work? I've heard everything will swap right over, and I've heard that its close but not close enuff....

anybody tried it yet?

little confused by the question.

do you mean a TSX valvetrain in an RSX head?

 

[nikos]

No... he means adding a 3 lobe style cam/valvetrain no a non type s style head...

basically making a a3 or a4 into a vtec head

In theory it can be done with machine work. Someone I spoke to on the phone a while back told me that it looks possible but never asked him about it again,... I guess I can remind him and see what he has done since then.

 

[b2one]

ah, cool

your probably better off (cheaper) to just buy a vtec head and just swap heads.

yep- thats what i meant, sorry for the confusion.

I ran into a kid awhile back that said a friend of his supposedly had done it and all that needed to be done was to clearance a few spots on the exh side to fit the extra rockers

dunno if thats bs or not tho...

I'd really like to get a definite answer on this, I got a spare K24 head laying around and I'll bet that sooner or later I'll come across a cracked/warped/otherwise f*d up rsx-s/tsx/dc5r head for piss cheap- especially since I have a couple friends that work at local Acura dealers

lmk if anybody's got any info

 

[nikos]

no, not that simple. You need to drill holes for the oil to go through
I have an extra head too

CRV with type s IM and TB

My friend said he is going to sent me some parts that he has no need for anymore to see what is up.

 

[nikos]

lost motion springs/assemblies need to get fitted somehow on the a3/a4 head

Yup... :up:

 

[stmotorsports]

oh yeah- duh...
I forgot about having to route the oil over to the exh side

so the lma's don't mount right to the cam blocks like on the older motors?

yeah, obviously. Thats not the point here

basically there is no limit, as long as you have the funding to support it.
