k24a2 gotta read!

That is a decent alternative, but the EP3's PRB IM with PIMP makes significantly more WHP thruout the rpm range.

It didn't on my car. Do you have some information that I don't? When I switched from the PRB to the RBB I gained lots of torque in the low-mid range and lost 0 hp.

What's PIMP?

If the setup on the TSX is fairly stock with 2.25 or smaller exhaust piping, no cam upgrade, etc. then the 04-05 TSX mani will make more power. If you plan to do cams or have a decent exhaust system and plan to raise the rev limit a little, then the RBC mani can yield more power up top.

I would agree you need cam upgrades to make the RBC work. Also, you'll gain top end HP with the RBC and lose torque. See Hondata's dyno of the RBC vs RBB(TSX) on their web site and the k20a.org post.

Quote: "The purple line involved only one change, from the long RBB intake manifold - to the short Accord Euro R RBC intake manifold. This manifold has shorter and larger diameter runners than the RBB intake. It is well optimized for high RPM breathing. A gain of 2-3 HP from 6200 RPM to the redline though is not enough to offset the loss of torque pretty much everywhere under 6000 RPM for this engine setup."

I have a TSX engine in my car, first, I went with the stock EP intake manifold, then switched to the stock TSX manifold and Im happier with it. Way more bottom end and top end is still the same

k24a2 indeed straight out of a tsx, got pics of block stamp and tag on the side saying it..i couldnt believe it either thats why when i found the guy i practically threw the money at him! no luck on uploading photos but myspace url is http://www.myspace.com/my_jdm_g3_gsr_tatersacksu tons of pics on there! btw if anyone could help me out with like a straight parts list id greatly appreciate it..thanks guys...

whoa, it really is a k24a2 just like he said!! i went on his myspace and saw it for myself. and i bet you did throw the 4 bills at him when you saw him cuz i would have done the same, ha-ha. that's some crack pipe or crackhead pricing right there! you lucky bastard!! good luck with the install and make sure to post pics
