Yeah, its a big motor but its quite 'low' in terms of the height of the motor, considering its an overhead cam engine.
90 degree design is what keeps it compact in that sense. Honda has always had this near fetish with low hoods

Haha...thanks Spook. If I had more $$$$, time and tools myself, I'd be getting the heads and intake ported. I still might, once the heads are off, I may send them to my friend to have him port them for me....we'll see. THAT will definately put me over Ken.
I am gonna get my ECU custom programmed once it is all in the car by a local guy. I'm gonna put it on the dyno when it's all done to put up some hard nmbers to shoot for.

Thanks guys....Yeah TooCoo, I was originally planning on doing a 3.2 Type II head on an RL block, (a la Dv8 from the Legend forum....) But well...I'm good, I'm just not THAT good! LOL Just don't have the time or $$$ to spend on that. But this should still work out well....

That's about 250 at the motor pretty good bro.... If I do end up porting everything, I'll hope to be at around the 260-270 HP range. Not hoping for too much more torque though, hard to get with this motor.
But 260 HP will DESSIMATE many cars on the highway though.

Cornflake and Ken ... thou shalt desamate (sp?) the third gens - showem who's their daddy.
:gheywave:
Yeah, i think i overdid the smilies.
Nice to see yall keeping our 1st gen up and running ahead of the game even a decade down the road. Ken for example, is doing 0-60 in less than 7 secs and quarters in the 14s. Thats enough grunt to dust off a Bimmers e.g. that 330ci he spanked a while back, MB, and run with auto tranny 3rd gens. I say a job well done. It seems like the c32 motor has a lot of potential. Good job guys, keep it up. And to all u 2.5tl owners out there - i understand aftermarket support is limited, but there's always a way. Vigor MT tranny, custom turbo, etc. - be creative.

A 6 speed manual may be in the works but i'm looking at an '06 RL. '97 TL will either go to my brother or my g/f.
It all depends

Congrats Cornflake!! (Proud to see a Canadian Type II 1st Gen TL!!)
This may be an inappropriate spot to ask, but I've searched this forum and acura-lengend.com, and DV8 managed to put a RL block in his type II legend. Considering the 2002 RL is 225HP/224ft/lbs Torque, do you guys think that would fit in a 1st gen TL? (Very little information, but I can't find a site that confirms if the new engine in the 2002 RL is a J block or C block, but consumer guide says the RL didnt change engine platforms from 1996-2003).

Also Cornflake, mind if I ask where you got the type II engine? In Toronto? And if you don't mind, how much did it cost you? (Hope I'm not being too nosy!

This is the first time i have seen a Type II engine! Wow. Looks like a pretty serious engine swap. Congrats. My younger brother has a 92' legend and it's his daily driver. I have the big daddy: 2000 3.2TL
Of course though I have to pay for mine while he is part of the M&D financial club! Good luck with the swap and post some hard numbers when you are done!

Its has a longer stroke so it has a slightly taller deck height, just removing the plastic cover should suffice.
We now have TWO 1st gen TL's with the Type II head swap

FINALLY got over to the dealer yesterday and ordered and payed for the last few parts needed to at least get the new motor ready to go!!! Still have to get a new rad and type II ecu before it can go into the car, but at least now my boy can start tearing it open and porting out the heads and intake... Ken, I GOTTA find the bayou chip to go with it too....how much are they again? Do you have the dude's contact that makes them?

So I spoke with the Bayou guys, they are gonna send me a chipped ECU, so that just means I don't have to find one somewhere else. SOOO...Calculating HP with a CONSERVATIVE addition for the porting of the intake and heads, the muffler (soon to be 3" cat-back), and the short-ram intake....I am figuring about 265-270 HP total.....HOLY S#$% this car is gonna be nuts...I think now I'm gona have to add a sneaky pete 40 shot of spray to push me over the 300 HP mark.....

2. Whats the contact info if someone wants to get this chip.
Thanks and props to you. BTW, do you think that the 270ish HP your gonna be putting out is gonna mess up ur tranny?
