from the more than you probably want to know about the CL thread.
HIGH PERFORMANCE POWERTRAIN
Driving the all-new CL are two variations of Acura’s 3.2-liter
24-valve VTEC V-6 engine. The 3.2CL’s powerplant creates 225
hp, a 12.5-percent increase from the previous generation 3.0CL
coupe (200 hp). The high performance 3.2CL Type S produces
30-percent more horsepower than the previous 3.0CL with a class
leading 260 hp. This is achieved through an all-new, dual-stage air induction system as well as numerous other performance
enhancements, resulting in increased power and torque without
increased engine displacement.

i believe the cl-s has freer flowing exhaust, dual air induced intake or something, and two level vtec, higher compression, head is diff, and the tranny is diff, and it has a higher redline. but i'm not sure about the two level vtec, i could be wrong.

Also, tranny is the same....
Other then that, everything else looks right

no it's only in the J30. The j30 has a vtec system that isn't used in anything else. I've been trying to find the post that explains it but I can't find it anywhere

This system uses a large, two-chamber intake plenum separated by a butterfly valve, which is opened by an electric servomotor above 3800 rpm.
HUH?

Roddy, below 3800rpm only one valve is open which supposedly increases torque at low revs. After 3800 the second valve opens to allow more air into the engine, because at higher revs the engine needs MORE air to produce more torque (if I understand it correctly)
F23A4, DOHC is not really dual stage VTEC .. there is only one stage of VTEC but the separate intake AND exhaust cams use VTEC, instead of just varying the intake side of the cams like on our CLS motors. Thats why our intakes sound sick in VTEC but our exhaust note doesnt change much, but on my buddies H22 DOHC VTEC prelude, the whole car (intake and exhaust) just sounds like its been posessed in VTEC. There are other kinds of vtec that ARE two stage though .. can't remember which ones but some of the other kinds of vtec are VTEC-E, iVTEC, and 3stage VTEC.

I know the cams are different, the heads are different, pistons(higher compression on S), intake manifold dual stage, free flowing exhaust b-pipe and mufflers, higher redline, lower vtec engagment. Stiffer springs and shocks, bigger wheels, preforated and sportier seats, bowling ball and silver trim, and maybe a few other things, but thats all i can remember.

not sure about that, there is a fellow 3.0 owner who is dynoing over 200 to the wheels w/ bolt ons and type S cams. That's on about avg w/ type S stock cars.

the clp wont kill the cls if we were talking turbos. Due to lower compresion ratio, so if you are really serious and dont mind spending the money i'd suggest doing it.
Personally i own a cl-p, the only thing i like better are the seats, bought it used so no choice really

Helix power tower is a throttle body spacer. Good for like 1-2 hp and ft-lbs.

If i had a 3.0 i would do cams then get a vafc and a type s intake manifold with throttle body. I would have the manifold put on and dyno tune everything. You can have the IMRC hooked to an rpm switch that will open up the second stage intake in the new manifold. I bet a 2.0 will see some good gains from that. I myself am doing the cam swap, and intake manifold this summer.

Let us know how the manifold swap goes over at www.v6p.net. We got a guy who did it but couldn't get the intake manifold to work. His name is SoCalV6. Maybe you can bounce some ideas off him, he's pretty tech savvy.

if you do get the manifold swaped i would like to know, i have seriously considered what it would take to gain the power lossed to the the part differences, then i just decided to get headers and intake. I guess i'm gonna try and get the cls exhausts.
