i wish the 2.3/2.2 wasn't so loud.

I like the fact that the 3.5 is real quick and not loud (or at least it doesnt seem to be loud).

Whats an easier swap?

a 3.5 into a 3.0

or

a h22 4 banger into a 3.0

CleanCL

3.5 wouldn't be too bad, but you would never get the full potential of it unless you did what cocoa did and do the FULL THING w/ ECU.

p.s. i'm a little disappointed, i still see speakers and woodtrim, i thought this thing was stripped?

car looks sick as usual. but damn hide or relocate some of those wires. that would look super clean

Cocoa

iTrader: (2)

Man I look fugly in that pic. We need a new pic of me, lol. I was pointing out that I haven't taken out the power steering pump even though I relooped the rack already. Just been lazy.

I agree with you 100% 97ghost, I really need to do a wire tuck or something to make the engine bay look more presentable.

CleanCL, I kept the front speakers for the road trips from Cali to Texas, and back, and so on. But soon, those will be taken out as well. And yes, the woodgrain and dashboard will be replaced with thin aluminum metal sheet or something similar with just the necessary tachs I need.

As for the J35/6speed or H22 swap question, the H22 swap is more practical as far as doing the whole 9 yards.

But, those who wouldn't mind keeping the auto tranny in the J series, can do a 3.5L swap for a lot less than what an H22 swap would go for. I discussed the full details in another thread a while back.

Those runs were without nitrous btw. The bottle was left at home. Damn it looks like I have a double chin or something!

mohaukachi

which j35 is that? the a1 or the a3.

Accord_V6_400m

iTrader: (1)

J35A1 I believe but either way he A2 heads from the J32A2

Damn Chris you make me want to do a 3.5 swap. It would be cheaper then supercharging my setup.

teh CL

iTrader: (1)

i love that motor

Cocoa

iTrader: (2)

It's the J35A4 short block

sumdumguy

is that outa the type S? I mean it sounds like it but I have no idea about engine codes.

ZeroCL

I believe its actually out of the Honda Odyssey, yeahhh..the van.
..or the JDM name for it is the Honda Lagreat. Haha.

Cocoa

iTrader: (2)

It's from a 2002 Honda Odyssey van.

h2o-pr00f

ahh the infamous bullet hole

G22_Powered_YA1

^^ it proves that infact it is the one and only, the other purpose of that shot was... well LOOK AT THAT GAPING CRACK IN THE HOOD


as for the swap thing, im not sure how easy it would be to get an H22 into a 3.0 body, the J series mounts are all different, whereas the F series 2.x mounts bolt right up to the H series motors with no problems at all........ I do know that in this case Honda had a 5th gen Accord race or rally car or something they put the F20B (destroked H22A) into a V6 chassis (C27A) to make an ideal weight distribution, I dunno about on the street, but I guess it can be done.......... maybe


and my F22 appologizes for being so loud, but in those shots you can barely hear him even if I was idly cruising along, all I could do is try to keep up.......... I did find the smoke shooting out the tailpipe to be funny though

Cocoa

iTrader: (2)

That gap is bigger than usual cause the hood was popped open.

G22_Powered_YA1

right... that was my bad............ I forgot that you already poped it..........


but the bullet hole is great all the same

tman89544

That thing is probably one of the biggest sleepers ever. Sure you see Civics and other little cars with tons of money in them that can smoke everything, but you would NEVER expect that from a CL of all things.

Questions #1:

What kind of brakes do you have on that? I can't tell for sure if you had some judging by those pics.

Question #2:

What other weight reductions do you plan on doing? Im sure its been answered before but why haven't you put on a CF hood?

Truly an inspirational car.

i still have the pics from the night that we drank.

i think he has some hawk pads and rotors. i remember him mentioning that before.

legendaryCL98

hey cocoa... whats your gas mileage? keke

G22_Powered_YA1

hehe, the way that engine sits in there, a CF hood wouldve shattered by now...... I saw a piece of the hood punched out from where the engine occasionally hits it

and according to him, the current heavy hood has a tendency to lift at high speeds as the air gets in under it..... so a lighter CF hood.... well Im sure you can see where im going with this

Cocoa

iTrader: (2)

Hawk pads is right. I'm getting cutom brakes by the end of summer from Wilwood. As for weight reductions, I'm going with lexon glass sometime soon (after my trip to Cali).

As for the hood, I was having issues with the hood banging on my manifold due to the wheel hop. I'm hoping I won't have that issue with this new suspension setup, but I haven't broken in the clutch yet to be dumping the clutch.

Cocoa

iTrader: (2)

I'll let everyone know once I get to Cali. I assume it'll be better than before.

hey chris you wouldn't have an extra cone for the intake at your house?

Cocoa

iTrader: (2)

No sir. Actually have had the same one for 3 years now.

G22_Powered_YA1

we got an old K&N here at our place, I think itll go onto a 2.75" pipe, WAS in bro's Celica, if you need it I can see what he says about it

and Hawk pads over stock rotors???

how are the Hawks as opposed to factory, ive heard the HPS compounds are great stopping power

tman89544

Get hood clamps.

sumdumguy

there are six speed odysees out there? I knew I liked that fuckin van for a reason

Cocoa

iTrader: (2)

No there aren't any. But the block is the exact same casting as the J32's and certain year MDX's, which just means you can throw this on to that, and that onto this, and it'll bolt up the same as stock. I think I have a thread about it, but it should be about 2-3 years old now.

redsly

Aight, if the J35A4 Block is the same Casting as a J32A, then the motor mount problem that you had wouldn't be an issue with the 2nd Gen CL, Right?

This is now giving me a whole new outlook on a swap, since I don't have a CL-S anyways, might just skip that and go up in Liters and swap in a 6 speed...
