Hi people~ newbie here!~

I was reading through the forums and searching in this forum, as well as google...but couldn't find the answer to this question!!

How similar are 2G TL's and CL's?
I hear that they are very similar, and that you can use the DIY's for the TL's for installing parts for CL.

However, are the parts compatible with each other? like...

If I had an intake or suspensions for the 2G TL-s, would that fit the 2G CL-S?

 

Are you talking about engine/transmission parts

 

^ he said intake and suspension......

 

Yes all the parts off a 2g tl/cl and 99-2002 accord v6 r da same.
My BG suspention kit said V6 accord on it and I installed Headers OBX that where on a 2001 V6 accord on to my 2001 CL today. I say 90% of the aftermarket parts are the same on both cars!

 

for all practical purposes, with the exception of the 03 CL 6 Speed, the CL, TL, and Accord have identical engine bays and interchangeable suspension components. Not so sure about swaybars and strutbars - I suspect these would be different.

 

^ 98-02 Accord V6 also has some usable parts

 

not entirely true......

 

Intakes are different between all the motors / models due to throttle body diameter and engine compartment to throttle body length differences

 

most parts will swap .. my 98 AV6 has my '01 cls' rear sway my koni suspension my front rotora breaks and calipers ... and maybe soon some of these guys' that are swapping to the '09 upper intake will sell me there org. and ill add that along with a apexi to trigger the IMRC

 

Hm...so it seems like most of the suspension parts will be pretty much shareable(?), while intake will not, since they have different engine specification?

 

The TL rear doors wont fit on the CL.

 

you mean I can't convert my CL into a 4 dOOr?!?!

 

Nor will the front for that matter....

 

Red text Civic! red text!

 

5 minute rule

 

 

All suspension from 6th Gen Accord is the same.

Most parts are identical...you really only run into differences on cosmetic items (front end, rear end, door dimensions and piping for exhaust)

Basically that's the only real differences.

They are interchangeable between 2nd Gen CL, TL, and 6th Gen Accord.

 

The motors in the TL-P and the CL-P are the same, as with the Type S' (J32A1 for the Premium models, A2 for the S').

BUT there are differences between the automatic J32A2 and the manual J32A2, cam gears are different if I recall correctly.

 

I would think they are the same since its the same engine code :J32A2. If you can find some info to support you, then that would be great.

 

Ok:

Timing Belt Pulley

Part #s:
- 13621-P8A-A01 (auto)
- 13621-PGE-A11 (6MT)



Cam Gears:

The front cam gear is different between the auto and manual. The manual cam gear has PGE stamped on it.

Part #s:
- 14260-P8A-A01 (auto)
- 14260-PGE-A11 (6MT)

 

what the hell??? wonder what the difference is in performance?

 

so that means i can take suspension from a 98-02 accord and use it on my 03 cl type s?

 

yes.

anyone know how thick our stock swaybars are?

 

nvm 19 solid for the type-s and 18 for the tl-p

 

No real difference, its just the sensors that are different. Thats why if you use a 6MT ecu and harness on an auto motor (like in a swap) or vice versa, youll get a CEL.

 

so it would be okay to use the plugs for a 6spd on our autos right? they are 2 different parts from acura btw. but the 3G TL uses the same plugs as the 6spd CL

 

The sensor plugs? No, those are different.

If you were swapping this engine into a Civic or something and you used an Auto harness on a 6MT engine, youd need to get the sub-harnesses for the two sensors.

 

the oil pump is also different between auto cls and cls6. i did the swap and found that out the hard way

 

no, i meant spark plugs

 

^ yea its ok, i believe the iridiums last a bit longer though

 

and thats why im getting the iridium lazers instead of the stock platnium lazers lol

 

More $$$ but worth it

 

actually its the same price from the dealership for either plug. its more then the iridium IX plugs though

 

GODDAMN, I just checked prices on the sparkplugs for this car. $10 each

NGK IZFR6K11 for the 6MT

 

^ that's actually a good price

 

Not including shipping though. They are $13 at the dealer. I hate 6 cylinders. I cant get plugs in packs of four

 

where is that? ebay?

I have a local guy selling those plugs for 6.95 each. He could probably ship them out to you for like 5 bucks. pm me if yur interested and ill get you the info. Im not gonna start to get in trouble with the moderators lol

 

i can get you a cheap set
