Is it really that much? I found a dyno sheet from CT that shows a 1999 TL, http://www.comptechusa.com/store/med...1999TLplot.pdf and I know we have the same engine/transmission.

edit: than again I notice the dyno goes up to 6750, CL-P redline is 6250... did they just go past redline on the dyno? I wouldn't think so since their obviously isn't any gains past redline....

 

They had to of passed redline...the guys who tuned my car did

But it really all depends on air temp, barometric pressure, what altitude your at...when it comes to seeing realistic numbers.

 

What u mean by that?

Nobody dont have a chipped 03 CL-S? lol come on guys..

I am new to these cars i used to own a MK2 GTI with a 1.8t conversion..

What are some good sites to get mods for the CL-S?

 

No, I meant that there has been people with CL-S autos that were chipped but I've never seen any 6-speeds chipped with UniChip.

good mod sites?

www.ebay.com
www.nopionline.com
www.excelerateperformance.com
www.comptech.com
www.aem.com
...the list goes on... search and you'll find brotha.

 

The 99 TL only made 200hp. THey made some changes in 2000 to the motor which then made 225hp.

The "redline" is at 6300 RPM, but the fuel cut-off is at 6600 RPM for teh J32A1.

 

I would get the Unichip if it were available for the CLS6mt. I dont understand the figures for the acura CL dyno on the Unichip site. they are way to high.

 

So they dont make chips for our 6 spds?

 

I dont think there is one for the 6speed yet. I dont know really. the site doesnt say anything about the 6mt. someone with more info chime in. excell, what do you know about this?

 

Well how can i reach my goals for 300hps in my CL-S 6 spds?

 

Buy the parts I have in my sig

Engine
Comptech Supercharger & HBP w/ Snow Methanol Injection
Comptech Headers, Icebox (w/ K&N Filter), Catback Exhaust
Outlaw Thermoblock Spacers, Mugen Cooling Mods

 

S/C i dont think i got that kind of money right now lol..

 

Wtf is up with comptech header they are 1k???????? godang

 

You won't get over 300 WHP without Forced induction.

 

Aww thats sad to hear..

I really like this car but its so hard to find mods for it man and even if i find it they would be over 1k i guess i am not into a VW world anymore lol.. But serously 1k for a comptech headers is lil bit out of my line..

 

UniChip does not make a chip for the 6-Speed.

EDIT: But take your car down to UniChip in Portland, Oregon and have them make you one so other 6-speeders can have them too

 

That really sucks...

 

You don't have to buy Comptech headers...there is also XS Power headers and Megan headers for waaaaaaaaaaaaaayy cheaper.

 

I wouldn't be able to cross 300 HP to the wheels without nitrous.

 

I dont think a 3 days trip will be worth for just a chip lol..

 

Now where do i find those headers?

 

EBAY

 

That's what I thought aswell, but this article from Motor Trend says different, http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...99_acura_32tl/

 

are these good?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Accor...mZ150050241284

 

I'm an idiot. MT is right, it does make 225. Acura made some changes to the motor though that changed the power curve.

 

Yea damn i would love to pull on a S2K..

 

Yes those would work!

Wouldn't we all?

 

Are the CL's really that much slower than a S2K? my bud had one and it didn't seem that much faster than my CL-P, please don't bash on me about him being a bad driver either

 

You have to remember that it is only a high revving four banger a lot of horsepower but with no torque. It's hard to launch a S2K without proper lauch technique.

CLs are big bitches though. It may get off the line just a hair quicker (type-S) but the S2K will catch up eventually. Check out the qtr mile numbers for 2004 S2K. 14.19 quarter mile (from Motor Trend)

While front-wheel drive will never be the optimum drive configuration for a performance car, the CL Type-S with the six-speed does its best to compensate. It's certainly fast enough to humble most sport coupes. During instrumented testing, our test car went from 0 to 60 mph in 6.4 seconds and cleared the quarter-mile in 15.0 seconds at 95.2 mph (Edmunds.com, Inside Line Follow up).

 

we have bolton 6 speeds dipping into high 13s...not sure where they got a 15.0 from, maybe they were going in reverse.

 

that was a stock CL-S http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do...rticleId=65300

 

haha

 

my TLP will dip into the low 12s with my super duper top secrect mods, with heavy ass chrome 20s, and and real heavy trunk


edit: one more thing, jays car will still be faster than mine

 

I think the quarter mile time on the S2K is a bit overrated, all in all I think it is overrated in general, I have acquaintances that think it weighs 2100lbs and can hang with Z06's. Honestly, my bud raced a 03 Mustang GT, both stock btw and got his handed to him in the quarter mile. Motor Trend says the 1999 Mustang GT is a 14sec car, http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...rd_mustang_gt/

 

a stock 6 speed should run a low 14.

 

Thats what i think too

a stock CL-S should run 14.2

 

Good news, just bought a CL-S upper and lower intake manifold from ThinJim. I need a few extra parts and I'll have to get my car tuned again on the Dyno, (bummer).

 

Anybody want to take a guess on how much more HP I will get with the Type-S IM put on?

Any takers?

Mr. Steve?

 

Almost no difference.

And you didn't need the lowers, the J32A1 in the CL used the same lowers as the J32A2 lowers.

 

it was sold all as one piece...

EDIT: even with the RPM switch and the BVA installed too?...hmmm

The inlet is mildly ported though. I'll do another dyno once everything is pieced together.

 

And maybe get timed? please
