is this coming from a wrecked car?
did you get the whole front clip?
sounds like a fun project. i would love to own a manual tl i think it would make it a blast to drive.
your probably pretty lucky, i can't imagine that many wrecked cl 6speeds around.
good luck and post pics and make a sticky for this thread.

this is gonna be cool, lots of luck man, if anyone can do it, its def you. it would be awesome to prove all the guys on the board that said you cant put 6spd or type s motor in the TL!! (even though a few accord guys have done it)

Acura TLS are SLOW
I saw the post you made about the ECU and i thought something was up......and this is was what I find.....a 6spd swap eh!?...... Hopefully everything goes well

have to verify on that
have to verify on that
My engine already sticks up over the fender, which leads me to believe that part of teh redesigned front was to get teh hood higher to allow for the type-s engine
run a board from the top of the intake manifold center of the TB and measure from the fender lip to teh bottom of the board (like teh pics below)

If you look at the pic above, measure from the fender lip (the surface that the bolts that bolt it down sit on) to the bottom side of the board that runs across the center of the intake manifold

I'll be home this weekend. I have a Type-S intake manifold at home that I can measure compared to my non-type s one.
No ever said its not possible, and if they did they don't know what they are talking about. But it is gonna be extremely difficult to get figure out the wire harnesses and get all the electronics working. The mechanical end of it shouldn't be too bad.

Mechanically it should be Very easy. its the little electrical things that im sure will take time to sort out

2 7/8 inches, Kris. I used tyhe handle from my rake and layed it across the intake manifold. I didn't take the plastic cover off the IM, but should only be 1/4 inch or so.

Since Kris is doing the work himself, it's just going to take some time. He's been in there twice to R&R dead trannies, so it's obvious he knows what end of a wrench is the business end
