i was wondering if i could swap my j30 to an 09 Rl j37 or 07 MDX? tried searching it and couldnt find jack about it...so i was jus wondering will it work and what kind of tranny do i need for it...so u guys opinion on it....

 

with enough money anything will work

 

i have the money...im asking is do i have to buy new mounts and what kind of tranny...cuz i want to have atleast 300hp or even more wid a lil bolt on....cuz the j30 200hp wid bolt on is still kinda sluggish idk....

 

I hope you have shit loads of money, because a swap like that is nowhere, even remotely close to cheap.

It's not like doing an h22 swap.

 

...I'm just confused as to why you'd swap OUT a j37a1/2 with 300 horsepower and swap IN a j30 with 200 and a lot more miles. Am I missing something?

 

he means putting the j37 from an 09 RL or an 07 MDX into his CL i think...

 

i want to swap my j30 for an j37...i have an friend dat has an shop that has an wrecked Rl that has the j37 and i swap my j30 for the j37 engine....so yea i wonder if its an direct bolt or wat...oh yea has anybody done a mid-muffler delete or 1st gen cl? or do we even have an mid-muffler....bcuz i want to take out my mid-muffler if we even have wun and just weld an 2.5 pipe to the oem muffler...i wonder how it would sound....

 

lawlz at direct bolt. No. Maybe it's just me but i'm assuming with all the custom fabbing that would be required, you could look to spend a minimum of around $3-4 thousand, maybe even more

 

You need to learn how to spell what is not wat and wun is not one and that is not dat. You might get a nore professional responce. Don't get pissed I'm just tryin to help.

 

so has anybody done a mid-muffler delete?....

 

oh my bad dude! if u cant read short term text....sorry dude! dont get pissed.

 

check out online, google man, i'm lookin for info on a j35 swap. the j37 has high potential, from what i've read...but there are some problems right now for it. So far, the j35 seems pretty good. I plan on a j35a3 block with a j32a2 head with RL pistons...look it up, it's being done as we speak

 

to me it would seem that this swap would be way too complicated and end up costing you big $$$. Like it probably could be done, but with an engine that just came out there would be less info and aftermarket parts to back it up. Plus the vehicles which currently contain that engine are both AWD. Seems like way too much of a headache IMO, but there's only one way to find out if it'll work, try it yourself

 

^^ Werd.
it'd def be cool to see, but really, how much money do you have saved up? Cause like I said earlier, talk about priiiiicey.

 

well the j35 is the oddysey/mdx so we'll see. still researching on it haha. i know it's pricey but

 

j35 uses the same mounts as a j30, I have not seen anything about the j37 though. Pretty sure the mounts are all different, I know the new TL 3.5's are different

 

not worth the time & money it'll cost you cuz it'll all be custom..

if you got money to spend just go with the j35 w/ the CL-S 6 speed tranny, its been done & you wont be dissapointed..

 

If you have a 2.3, its gonna be a pain in the ass to get a J series in there, the way the F and J motors are mounted are completely different

 

yeah definitely, sometimes i have doubts about doing it...i'm still researching. Gonna ask my mechanic to refer me to a good tuners shop, and ask him about custom mounts...we'll see. This is sorta like a 3-4 year project i'm doing so i have plenty of time haha

 

^all you would need is the 3.0 subframe w/ 6th gen v6 accords mounts (i think the tranny mount has to be custom) & you shouldn't have an issue, maybe hood clearance if anything..

yeah i've looked into it

 

oh ok....still no one has answered my other question about the mid-muffler delete?....

 

If by mid muffler you mean the resonator....have at it, it's been done.

As for the swap, no it hasn't been done with that engine. If you have the money, the engine, and the shop that can do it, then get started on it. That way we can see another swapped J series in the crowd.

 

i'll make a note of it. i have high hopes for this car .

 

what you should really be concerned about is finding someone who knows what they're doing to do the wiring for you cuz thats the biggest part of the swap

 

Couldn't help it.

 

it can be done with a lot of money and time. Its gonna take a lot of trial and error. always keep in mind that failure is possible.

 

That's gonna be the biggest pain
