Not off hand. You can use the two bolts that hold the stock IMRC motor to the rear valve cover if you want, they're just not as pretty.

 

no worries ill try to figure it out tomrow hopefully everything goes as planned
thanks for your help ill let you guys know what happened tommroow

 

shit i think i got the wrong intake manifold the tb adapter isnt lining up
and i measured the opening for the tb its about 68mm
and from what i read before i thought the 09 3.7l tl had 80mm opening
i ordered part number 17160-rk2-a00... can someone tell me is this really the part number for the 3.7.

damn i dont know what im going to do if this is the wrong one they said no refunds for this special order part

 

just look at an acura parts website. that is the only 09 tl manifold they offer.

 

isnt there 2 different manifolds? 1 for the 3.5L and 1 for the 3.7L
i called acura and they said 17160-rk1-a00 is the 3.5L
and 17160-rk2-a00 is the one i bought which is for 3.7L... but for some reason when i opened the box and look at the manifold there is a marking on it that says RK1

ill post a pic and show what im talking about

 

Seams kinda fishy, Is their a honda part # tag anywhere on the package?

 

Post pics.

 

damn it i had to return it it turned out to be the one for the 3.5L base tl they took it back seems they made a mistake.. it was already a previous returned part
accidentally packed it in the wrong box.
but now the sad thing is the 3.7L manifold is on backorder until end of june..
and that goes for canada and u.s cause i called acura in lynnwood washington they said its back order also june
so im stuck with stock manifold for now

 

That sucks. If I can fix my new TB my TL manifold will be up for sale.

 

id take it but you probably want to sell the top plate and adapter with it.. which i already have

 

Yep.

 

this is what the imprint on the manifold looked like... it said RK1... it was supposed to say RK2

 

this seems like a nice mod

 

got the manifold yesterday after such a long wait.. i will be installing it by next week. ill let u guys know how it goes

 

I'm not trying to clutter up your thred with BS but,
your avatar is creeping me out civic.

 

oh you made it seem worse than it is. That manifold is a special order item so it will always take awhile to get it. The first one i received was damaged so i had to get a 2nd one sent out. Still havnt installed it yet.

 

but it took a month to get another manifold

 

quick question here. how do u wire up the imrc for the new manifold. i noticed the old manifold imrc has only 2 pin conection. and the new manifold has a 5 pin connection

 

check the long thread on the TL manifold....the info is in there.

 

can i anybody get me the link for the pinout diagram for the imrc on the 2009 tl manifold or let me know where i can find it

i looked in the diy thread and it doesnt show up anymore think it got deleted

 

Ya the diagram is removed, but here is the info:

 

^thanks thats perfect. so i only wire 2 of the pins in the imrc and leave the rest 3 alone

 

CL:


TL

 

thanks alot man i wouldnt have been able to get that without you

 

can you do this on a tl-p?

if so what would you need? haha thanks in advance for your guys help!

 

^dont think so because the throttle body adapter that makes the manifold work with our stock tb is only made for the tl-s tb
and from what i remember the tl-s throttle body and tl-p throttle body are different

 

The TBs are different but the bolt holes arent, so the the TL-P TB will work.

You can run this manifold as long as you get the top cover from a 2008 Accord 4 door V6, PN 17116-R70-A00

That one doesnt have the IMRC on it.

Im not sure if its even worth it though.

 

i dont think its worth it if u dont have the imrc. u can get the tl cover with the imrc and get a, shit...ummmm for got whats its called, but jjashaa had it on his tl-p with the 02-03 type s manifold. look for his thread

 

RPM activated switch.

 

thanks guys for the response! the reason i was thinking about this was because i was thinking about replacing my tl-p IM with the tl-s IM..

what do you think is the best move then? just sticking with the tl-s IM or going the 09 TL IM route?

 

easy, look at MSD's ignition and then look for a module to activate a shift light, then you just hook the imrc up instead of the light, but then again there are tuning isues when it does activate though , so probably not completely worth it

 

hmm... but in here:

https://acurazine.com/forums/2g-cl-frequently-asked-questions-52/type-s-intake-manifold-cl-p-discussion-thread-486697/

they said you put in the IMRC and rpm activation switch.. and couldn't i put in a type s throttle body also? sorry if im way off im trying my best to understand this stuff haha =P

 

that is the type s IM replacement thread on a tl-p btw

 

anyone???

 

I dont see why you wouldnt be able to install the Type S TB.

 

thanks!

 

new manifold installed with no troubles.. everythings perfect.. my mechanic left the air temperature sensor hanging outsidethe manifold is that ok??

Extend the wires and put it in the intake tube.

 

should i put it in one of the hoses that go to the intake? or do i drill a hole into the intake pipe

 

Drill a hole in the intake pipe.
