people say the tq loss is noticeable, look on k20a.org and there is a lot of info about it. Your probably gonna lose about 10ft/lbs of tq and maybe gain 1 or 2 hp. I was gonna change to an rbc until i read that so im sticking with the rbb
here is some pics of the rbc not on the k24 and you can see the cuts, the k24a2 sits higher and the intake mani design is different so your gonna have to do more

You will gain far more than 1-2 whp up top, try adding a zero to those figures. but there will be losses down low, on a FWD car with tons of torque you will merely produce profit for the tire companies.... LOL
The RBC in a EP3 with a K24 doesnt require the "Trimming" that the shorter K20 requires.
But no matter which engine, it is NOT the major surgery as some would try to make it out to be.....
And yes that DIY is exactly what I described,

there is a lot of mis information going on about this, i never saw a dyno where the rbc gave 10+ hp over the rbb
edit, just saw a dyno posted where someone gained 19hp, from the prb mani with the rbc but did lose low to mid
The rrc manifold seems to be the best out of all of them but also the most expensive

tnx for all the info guys
swap is finally in and done
Unfortunately I drove her in the freeway to go home but stayed at around 65mph without programming my kpro
She is still set at my stock k20a3 with minor bolt ons setting
She ran like shit, felt weak, and idle felt very low (not sure if Im using the correct terms to describe it)
I just downloaded hondata program and I know she will drive better then
I ended using the rbc and did some shaving of the metal part sticking out close to the karcepts adapter
I was in a rush today so decided not to mod the rbb for now
I still have it though if I decide to do it later
aem v2 fits fine with the rbc...tnx for all the info
on Kmanager the only thing I could find was a k24a2 310 injectors...is this the best setting for stock 07 tsx with I/race Headers/E

yea thats what i used before i was tuned
are you shitting me! you drove it with the stock k20a3 calibration!!?! i cant believe it even ran... hope you didint do any major damage.. also... i dont know why people dont use the prb intake mani... it mounts up with no modifications, you can use any stock ep3 intake you want and it provides good numbers.. i made 230hp and 205tq with bolt ons.
dont you have to mod the stock ep3 intake mani for a coolant port or something
not the manifold. you can either buy the special gasket which takes care of the problem, or you just run a tap through the coolant port on the block to thread it, then screw in a fitting. sounds much more difficult than it is.
i know stupid move
she ran in the freeway about 30 miles away
not sure what type of damage was done or how i would even know if damage was done...
I was just rushing to get home wife would have had my balls on a skillet if i didnt hurry my ass home

Tnx bud
Don't have the heart to sell heart this point.
Will just try to finish her build
