The TSX 6MT swap thread

[timot_one]

As long as you're okay with revving your motor a lot higher to get moving from a full stop, then go for it. The lower mass of a lighter flywheel may help improve throttle response, but for street driving it's not exactly practical. I wouldn't go much lighter than the Type S flywheel. If you're actually serious about performance, you should probably spend your money on other things than a lightened flywheel.

well i dont have much money to do anything lol but i figure while ive got the opportunity i shud do it right thats all

If it were me, I'd get the RSX Type S flywheel.  It's 8.5 lbs lighter than stock.  That's more than 1/3 the weight of the stock K24 flywheel.  It's a great balance of being lighter than stock, but not so lightweight that you have to rev your motor to 4k before you engage the clutch just to get moving.

ahhhhh well if its like that then youve got a point haha

I don't know everything, but I try to give practical advice.

sooooo my tsx 6spd swap is complete, its been in the car for about 2 weeks now and i love it! it took about 8hrs total, we split it between 2 days, i used the rsx-s exedy stage 1 organic clutch and an act streetlite 11.5lbs flywheel and i must say i cudnt be happier, drivability hasnt been effected at all, im just trying to figure out wut to do with this damn speedo issue, i contacted k-tuned and im waiting to hear back from them, theyve got a few similar products that i wanna see if any will work for me

The only real option you have at this point is a module made by Modifry called the Yellow Jacket.  That's what I have for my car to correct the speedo, currently.  It's what S2000 guys use when they swap out the diff for a shorter final drive.  Essentially, that's what you've done since you went from the Accord 4.3 fd to the TSX 4.7 fd.

Tim wut years did u get that y.b. for?   This is it right? http://modifry.com/products/yj/index.htm

There's only one version. Those links are for installation manuals for the AP1 and AP2. The yellow jacket is the same regardless of what year the car was manufactured.

[Limmytimmy]

aaahh ok, thanks man

[Limmytimmy]

Is the install of the yellow jacket any different in my 07 then the s2k? I just got mine in the mail today

[timot_one]

It shouldn't be.  From what I recall, it's a 5v power signal, ground, and vss from the ECU and vss to the gauge cluster.

[Limmytimmy]

so my buddy tried to install it for me but cudnt find a pin out on the internet, i think thats wut he called it, he didnt wanna touch anything without knowing wut it was but cant seem to find wut he needs anywhere on the internet...could someone possibly take a picture of where they spliced the wires in? that wud be a HUGE help, ive racked up a good 6-7 thousand miles on the odometer in less then 2 months that the tranny has been in

I think Tim would be the only guy that could. He's the only person I know of that has it.

It's 4 wires on the ECU harness.  All you need is 5v, ground, and the vss input and output.  You basically tap into one wire on the ECU for 5v and then you cut the VSS wire and run the input to the harness side and output to the ECU side of the wire you just cut.

The mechanic couldn't find the VSS wire?  Does he not know how to use a DMM or read a service manual?
