A hotter Type-S model should also appear with around 260hp coming from an up-tuned version of the 2.3L turbocharged motor found in the RDX. The sportier model will feature a 6 speed auto/manual DSG gearbox, and is expected to feature Honda’s Super Handling All Wheel Drive system

The people demanded it: An affordable four door sport sedan incorporating the performance and luxury benchmarks the high-end division of Honda has become known for. Last spring, the people got what they wanted: The Acura TSX, with a 2.4-liter, 200-hp engine hooked to a six-speed manual, race-bred suspension and a roomy, plush interior as only Acura could construct it. Priced between $25,000 and $30,000, the TSX offers potential buyers a high degree of bling for not a lot of cash, and puts other entry level European and Japanese luxury performance vehicles squarely in its sights.Naturally, a car like this targets a different buyer than that who would purchase, say, an RSX Type S, so you aren’t going to see a whole lot of modified TSX vehicles running around out there–at least not at this early stage. Then again, if its one thing we know, it’s that no matter the vehicle, there’s always someone who’s ready to wrench on it and wring the very last drops of performance from the powertrain and chassis.
Having said that, meet the latest addition to the long list of project cars from DAZZ Motorsports, a 2004 Acura TSX. According to Joey Ortega, sales and marketing manager for DAZZ, the company chose this platform because, well, no one else had. “It’s a little different platform than others we’ve done in the past,” he said. “Also, with the popularity of cars like the 350Z and Evo VIII, we wanted to bring Honda/Acura vehicles back into the spotlight and show people that they’re still great cars to modify.”

Here is a great example that there is some hope of turbo kits being avaliable for the Acura TSX, Honda Accord Euro. A lot of work went into this project as they had to overcome the Drive-by-wire system to allow for the turbo installation. This is a bit of a problem for owners wanting forced induction as there is a bit of stuffing around involved for it to work. This is a reason why many have chosen to go for the Comptech Supercharger path if they want forced induction but less headaches having it fitted. The turbo install pays off as it will be more likely to have a greater output plus better for daily driving and less strain on the engine compared to a supercharger.

Unfortunately Comptech have closed their doors and are no longer in business. This is very bad news for owners of TSX’s / Euros as now they won’t be able to buy the great Comptech Supercharger kits anymore. Hopefully Greddy, HKS and other performance brands get some more support out for the K20/K24 engine
