I've heard about this 3.5 CL, but im not quite sure how you add .3 liters to a cars engine. How do you do it? How much does it cost? And how many horsepower does it add? I am very curious about this, if anyone can please help me...Thanx in advance.

*~SHANE~*

 

do a search and you'll see plenty of info on this subject.i believe, if i'm not mistaken, that it runs at 315hp but the big difference is w/ the torque.

 

I have Header, exhasut, and AEM CAI...that would put me around 300 + in itself. So what if I do that too? Will I be up around 400 or something? How do you get that much torque?

 

The 315hp is with the Comptech headers but I am thinking that since COmptech headers are 30hp.. then the 3.5l upgrade only adds 25 hp. We get a little over 81 hp/ Liter so if we add .3 Liters that adds to 24+ extra hp.

 

How much does it cost to do this liter upgrade? Is it worth the money for the 24-25 hp?

 

Pele, I noticed you're planning on getting a supercharger, the supercharger plus this 3.5L upgrade will kill your tranny. I think the 3.5L upgrade is somewhere in the low $3,000 range if you already have the headers. But do a search b/c lots of info on this has been previously posted.

mchtypes has the upgrade..... email him!

 

There are two ways to increase displacement...stroking and boring...Boring is, basically, shaving certain parts in the engine to create more displacement, like your throttle body..and manifolds...this type of increase usually involves increase in HP more than torque. Stroking is how they achieved the 3.5L upgrade...this is possible, usually, by replacing the crank from a larger displacement motor..in this case, the MDX...the most immediate advantage of stroking is increase in Torque...which is what a lot of the guys that have the 3.5L are saying in defense of the upgrade v. the relatively small increase in HP.
