I mean, after reading the recent posts on page 3, it is my understanding that the block itself is the same between the J32A2 and the J35A8. It is the pistons that make the difference in the displacement (stroked, same bore)??
How would the J35A8 pistons work with the TL-S valves? I'm very very close to getting this done.

Here is a pic of the 01-03 cls & 01-02 mdx basic block...they share the same part number. notice no kidney shaped oil return.
Here is the back of the 03-04 mdx and newer blocks. Look at the top left part of the picture where the transmission bolt connect to and see how close it is to the deck of the block.
Here is a pic of the back of the 01-03 cls, you can clearly see the difference.

Things are ready to be assembled, but he needs to get one of the nsx's out before mine takes front burner. One of the things were working on is a different flywheel so an exedy pressure plate can be adapted to it. It requires another 6speed tranny for the measurements which is being worked on now. that i expect will take some time. The plan is to use an exedy pressure plate that fits a .......?

The shorter crankshaft threw us under the bus for a day, but that has been resolved.

Between that and adding an addition to my home, is sometimes to much to handle, but I am dying to get this finished, just everything is custom and takes time and thought.

If that guy spoony who's selling parts off his totaled out cls in the private sales doesn't sell all the body peices, i'd like to get that car and set it up for a drag car with tubs, cage, frame and wheel rear drive it with a power glide tranny adapted to the 3.5. Can't see any benifit for people to buy bumpers fenders etc because the shipping would eat up any savings these fools think they are getting unless they are close by. stock body peices are not that much.

I respect you guys for all this work.

NSX block (C-series)= 90 degree
CL/MDX block (J-series) = 60 degree
Completely different motors and they will not bolt up

Another successful 3.5L swap + it's intercooled and supercharged . Time to break-in new motor and eventually play with E-Manage Ultimate
BTW, before and after motor mounts

Imagine this, 2 people and 4th gear now is the same like I used to be by myself and in 3rd gear

Well, I was afraid that I will have idling or/and check engine light problem. My goal was only going to run a little of more than Scalbert intercooler HBP. He did it with stock injectors So I figure 10% increase should be more then sufficient. Too much fuel is not a good thing, humm.... but it is better than not enough. Oh, another reason is when people ask what kind of injectors? I got RC! :wink:

hey 02AV6, let us know if that rev limiter - adjustment on the ultimate works for the ecu. that would be sweet, and it if you raised it just a bit (500 rpms) the car would still shift at the right points and you would give it a bit more room so it didn't hit the rev limiter at the 2-3 shift.

Without cams, headwork, and/or more fuel I don't know that we want to rev up to nearly 7,800rpm

uhm.... o2AV6 has an accord which has redline at around 6200 rpm, and rev limiter at It hink 6500 rpm. Even after his dr evil transmisison he had problems with hitting the rev limiter, so I thought with a little more leeway (a couple hundred rpms) it wouldn't have a problem.

it certainly would, but how many NA J3x people have an e-manage, let alone an emanage ultimate... Well... I plan on getting one with a wideband O2. Think I should just save up and go with that instead of getting a VAFC first and THEN getting that?
