I know its been asked but I tried doing a search but couldn't find the what I'm looking for.....


What are the differences between the CLS and CLP powerplants.... Basically, what does the CLS have that gives it more umpf (35 hp)....

 

I think you can find your answer partially at www.acura.com . If I recall correctly, the CL-S has higher lift cams, bigger TB, freer flowing exhaust and intake, dual stage intake, and higher compression.

 

Don't forget the Type S logo on the gear change lever and the trunk makes it faster!.

 

CLP is a green friendly car, a ULEV: Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle
So it feels like it has a very restrictive setup, a smoker's lung with a butt plug if you can imagine.

On the other hand, 32.01 mpg isn't bad at all.
I can probably squeeze a few more mpg's

 

i never looked into it ,but i just assumed the cls was a dohc?

 

Nope, just SOHC... Only the DOHC six in Honda's stable the NSX.

 

isnt the CLS ULEV as well?? and yes its DOHC

 

Uh no, the CL-S and CL-P have SOHC VTEC J32A engines.

 

Yeah, it IS SOHC, and it's a LEV, not a ULEV.

 

oh yeah, my bad
