- Why We Had to Pull the J Swap From Our TSX
By Aaron Gaghagen and Brian Gillespie
Our J series swapped TSX was supposed to be the TSX Type S that Acura should have built. Brian believed that a J swapped TSX would have been the best chassis for endurance racing. But, the TSX we originally swapped had a fatal flaw, it was not a race car. Transforming a street car into a true purpose built track car requires serious work. Good thing is we do have a plan.

TracTuff makes a good solution for relocating the filter. Run it on my J35 TSX race car. Also recently added an oil cooler. You guys are gonna love it.
Awesome! Patiently waiting for an update on the 8th gen civic j swap 😅 😊
29:44 proper racecar sound 🍻
25:27 Love to see these out there helping people with exhaust.
AND it has a complete A SPEC kit
I need this so bad, my TSX is begging for a J swap.
Try adding an x pipe to the exhaust, that should help sound and performance
Can't wait to get invited to do an endurance race!!!!
so cool seeing different and unique tsx mods
Love me more Tsx content. Always wanted to do a j swap.
Now that I have 3 CL9 6 speeds definitely have to consider doing and having a track car
This is AWESOME!!!!!!
sounds nice, maybe add a crossflow pipe (X or H) you need the scavenging.
29:44 exhaust sound
Just stumbled upon your J series TSX content and I love it so far. VERY informative. I’m a die hearted TSX fan and been thinking about a project like this for a few years. Keep up the great work! Also where do I get to purchase the mounts & axles?
Mounts and axles are available from hasport.com
Deep thoughts, with VTEC Academy 😆🤣
Why's the tl videos taking so long?
Any chance those side mounts will be offered for the k24
trac tuff has J series oil cooler items
Have you guys considered maybe GLTC? I know it's mostly east coast though.
Have you guys finished the k20c mounts for an 8th gen civic?
U should have done an X pipe
I thought you needed a H pipe or X pipe midstream for scavenging effect like mustangs
It would be really cool if you could do a CRX/EF K20C Swap.
I think everyone is waiting for the k20C to make power in the 1000hp+ range. Right now they are right under 600hp. At this point a k20/24 turbo build would be the best bet. Might have to give it several more years
@@raimondnu3 Good point
Put the J in a fit. Simple as that
What happened to the Axion GK5?
We have it.
@@VTECAcademy looking forward to seeing what you guys do with it!
which trans you using accord ?
Is there an LSD solution for accords? I have a 13' Accord with the J35Y2 manual and haven't found anything other than the traction concepts one which there really isn't any reviews on. Im pretty new to the honda world, and there not a whole lot of aftermarket parts for these 9th gen J35 manual cars
Any LSD for the FL5 or FK8 will work.
I wanna manual swap my 03 j30 Accord, what's needed???
Buy my 6-6 j32a3 swapped 03coupe for 2.5k and youll be swapped . Philly area
J swapping. So easy a cave man can do it
