would anyone like to explain to me the 3.5 liter upgrade. Is it like a stroker kit? How is this upgrade down? What are the performance numbers? Price? And lastly how does this mod effect the life of trhe car and it's engine?

 

its nothing more than the lower part of the engine (block, crank, pistons, etc) from an MDX, you drop the stock CL-S engine block and simply replace it wih the 3.5l one. its $2500 bucks plus at least $1000-$1500 for installation. there is no negative effect on the life of the motor as its a brand new frickin motor!!! but it will, without a doubt, void any warranty on your car.

 

If i didn't worry my tranny would explode, I'd go find a wrecked MDX w/ a good engine and to the swap with some friends.

 

This is the new 3.5L upgrade everyone is talking about:


Saw them put it on the shark boat on Monster Garage last night. $17k engine!

Oh, and this hopefully isn't a repost. But the marine site has a cool video that talks about VTEC operation:

Wow, I didn't realize it was an undersquare engine...

 

My pontoon boat needs VTEC
