nuff said.... i guess the proof we need is on its wayyyyyyyyyyyyy...........

 

Indeed it is.

Ive come to the decision that I will be installing the manifold this monday or tuesday WITHOUT the ported throttle body. Detailed pics and dynos will be posted.

 

Be prepared that it will not work off the bat without a CEL. There are a few things you need to think about:
-IAT is not located on the manifold for the 09 TL, you will need to relocate yours
-PCV tube is now on the front left of the 09 TL manifold
-check hose sizes and lengths, you might need extra heater hose and/or vacuum hose, you may need to adapters and such

My suggestion, rest the manifold on top of your motor and check things out.

 

Thats what Im doing, and Im prepared to make it work properly, whatever it takes.

I got some of the parts from P2R today.

 

I plan to do the oil catch can, but was not aware of the IAT. What is the solution for that?

 

thanks for being the pioneers. waiting on results first.

 

wow, great thread. Now if only I could do this with the 3.0...

 

My first reaction to the IAT was put it on the intake, I wanted to verify with Sean before I said anything, he confirms ok to put it on the intake and that it will make more power there anyway

 

That was my plan as well. He also says you will need some vacuum hoses and caps, stuff that AutoZone or PepBoys would have.

I want to pick up an oil catch can as well. Thanks for reminding me

I plan to do a full right up when I do the install.

 

Still waiting on mine to get here. I think the newer Intake Manifold looks so much better.

 

Yes it does. Mine should be here. Im going to give my dealer a call. I will pick it up tomorrow.

 

I bought the 08 V6 Accord Intake manifold but got the Cover from Acura.

Got to order the adapter now. I wonder how this should benefit the 3.5. If this made 3-4hp more on a J32A2.

 

It made 3-4hp more then the stock ported manifold, plenums, and ported tb on the J32A2.

So in theory it makes more then 10hp on the stock J32A2.

 

I think this mod will be more than worth it. Can't wait.

 

Are these #s all whp?

 

Yes.

 

I don't have my manifold yet but I did the IAT today here is the IAT solution:

Moved to the vacuum inlet on the intake previously blocked by a bolt. It is smaller so a hose clamp was necessary.


The wire for the IAT route with the harness inside a plastic conduit that goes over the rear valve cover. I removed one bolt, undid three clips and had access. The wires I needed routed towards the intake so I carefully cut the electrical tape and got it to where I needed it.


I taped it for now because I could not find my plastic wire conduit and it was getting freaking hot in the garage, even though it is a chilly 95 today.

I filled the hole left by the IAT being removed with a bolt which won't be necessary once I have the 09 manifold.

 

Sorry for no updates on my part. I drove to NY this weekend and didnt sleep much.

Anyway, my manifold still isnt in Hopefully I can get some info as to why it isnt in yet. I have no work until Friday, so I have plenty of time to the install and get it dynod. I am probably going to get it dynod tomorrow before I do the work.

Nice job on the IAT, btw.

 

no dyno yet?

 

Heading there tomorrow for the baseline. Couldnt go last week

 

Sorry about yours, what is your dealer saying?

Mine is not here yet either (yet) I asked for tracking yesterday and he said it only shows in transit.

 

Im on the phone with them now. I dont know why its taking so long. Usually they get my parts in 2-3 days, unless theres a problem with the order.

 

Funny how this is such a big deal for the part, lol. I ordered an extra manifold amongst many other parts a couple months ago and received them with hardly any delay.

 

My guy said initially there were 4 in the country and it was coming from New Jersey, then he said there was one and it was coming from Tennessee.

Dunno.

 

Yea, the problem is there arent that many from the 09 TL in the country.

 

Intake came today!


Can't wait to get it on!

 

Bonus: it looks sick!

 

DIY it. Still waiting on mine....

 

 

Anyone have access to the pinout for the butterfly actuator on the 09? The connector is different but it has three wires just like mine.

 

shieettt... looks so slick... dyno will tell the story though.

looks like Acura got a bit smarter and enlarged the EGR port too... hmm 3.7L intake mani..wonder what else fits

 

Asshole

Im jealous you got yours, and you ordered a day after I did. Are you getting it dyno'd?

 

Where is your intake darnit!

Dyno will come but not soon, I have a bunch of work coming up. How was the Yankee game? How is the new stadium? I am jealous of that, I grew up in the city.

 

I have no clue where the intake is. The guy that has access to the Acura catalog (Rob) was at lunch when I called. He never called me back. Ill give him a call tomorrow morning to find out.

The stadium was.....different. Its not the real Yankee stadium that I know and love. But it definately is amazing. My sister got seats from her job, and we had no idea where they were until we got there. They were in the Delta 360 box, and they were absolutely amazing. We had our own bar, and they made fresh pizza, cheese steak sandwiches, and a whole bunch of stuff right there. They had waiters that got you this stuff too, which I didnt really like (I got my own food). I didnt like sitting with all these corporate types that go to a Yankee game just to go, not because they actually like - or understand - baseball. Overall I like the new stadium, but the real stadium is what I will always remember.

One thing that I really didnt like was when Swisher hit a homerun, the scoreboard lit up and it was the Geico gecko dancing. They went alittle overboard with the sponsorships.

 

That stinks.

One thing I just realized the egr tube is not included.It is needed or the egr needs to be blocked/worked around.

I grew up in Manhattan, my Mom grew up walking distance from the stadium we are lifelong Yankee fans.

I watched the game Sunday on ESPN. I was glad Andy got the win.

We moved out of the city to Santa Monica in 76 I had gone to the last game before the renovation and wanted to go to the first after but could not get my Dad to take us back for a game.

 

That sucks (both the EGR tube and not going to the game after the renovation).

I grew up in West Hempstead, but originally from Westbury. Ive been a Yankee fan since I first learned about baseball. Its odd that my mom is an As fan, the rest of her family and my other sister are Mets fans, and my dad doesnt really follow baseball. So its just my brother, my sister, and I who are Yankee fans. I went to the second to last game at Yankee stadium last year. My sister actually cried as we walked out. Seeing a 30 year old cry at Yankee stadium makes for a very awkward moment. Its really sad that they are demolishing it this month I believe.

 

End of an era for sure.

Here are some more pictures, seems like most of teh vac lines are p&p.

 

Stop with the pictures! Your making me more jealous.

Just remember that due to the shorter runners, the manifold will be *slightly* lower. I dont have any measurements, but I know alot of the Civic guys use it to get the hood clearance they need.

 

Its also lighter compared to the stock manifold. When are you planning on putting it on? I am getting to the point where I may go to the Acura dealer and steal one from a TL on the lot

One more thing, does the IAB valve hit the power steering pump?

 

EGR fix.

Ill be adding that to my order from P2R.
