I believe that the ‘04 models had non HO engines, from what I have read you can replace them with HO engines but you would also need to replace the ECMs.

I replaced one of the engines in our ‘06 SX230 non HO with a engine from a ‘02 FX140 non HO (998cc).

Yeah, what brad said. I have an 04 and picked up a fx140 as a backup engine.
