From pics ive seen it looks like the intake mani is taller

 

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.

 

sneak peak

 

WOW! You , Sir, are a fu(king God!!!!! Thanks for walking on this earth. Just being able to know this can be done for a "reasonable" value (all variables factored in), give us 3rd tranny on the original odometer BIG AZZ hope. Peace.

 

I posted a sticky with more pics. I closed it to help keep it clean and on track. post coments here or start new threads to ask questions






Thanks

 

Good call.

 

That is awesome ... I hope you also picked up the ECU from that 6MT CL-S. Will you need the limited slip that goes with the 6MT? I would think the engine mounts and the engine size would be the same between a UA5 model cars.

But do keep us all up to date with your DIY project.

 

That's awesome...good luck with it. I think this will be a thread that everyone is interested in. It will be crazy to actually see this done.

 

Yea im trying to track down a ecu to make things easier. As for the LSD that comes in the tranny. yea the block is the same and most all teh mounts are the same. The manual tanny has acouple different mounts that i have to pick up (ill order them this week also)

 

hey Kris, good luck with the new project...

 

We should gtg and go to Kris' house and take a peek what's going on with its progress...

 

subscribed.

 

I better start looking for a 6 speed tranny.

 

Sure come on over. Maybe ill even hand you a wrench

 

lol how long is the drive from toronto to your place?

i might come over next weekend

 

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)

 

i dunno if that's true, but i heard the type-S motor is a no fit in the pre 02 TL due to the larger intake and TB...

have to verify on that

 

Way to go, Kris.

 

I think it will personally myself to be honest, but we will see

 

Damn dude.....you go boy!!!

Good luck and good thing you found all that change, Im sure it slowed you down a bunch!!! =)

 

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

 

posted some updated pics. got the engine out

 

I have no idea




Im not sure it will. I need someone with the type-s engine and measure something.
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)

 

looks like you might have to do a front end swap too.

 

Not happening. Ive got a welder, Ill modify the hood to make it fit

 

Why is the Type-S higher...is it that much different in TB?

 

lol. you might as well at this point.


haha you can get the stick on hood scoops to cover the bulge. thta would be pimp. lol






yea right id rather ride with out a hood instead of those.

 

Yea. If i could get someone with a TYPE-S engine to take a measurement we can find out how much more hint hint....

 

what do you need. just take a 2x4 and measure the height from there the inside of the fender?

 

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.

 

K thanks

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

 

i would go out but i can't get in the garage right now, and i have no outdoor lights.

 

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.

 

Hmm - it's a lot more than your measurement in the picture...

Looks like you'll be needing a front end swap!

 

We get alot of noobs w/ under 20 posts asking about converting the auto CL's to a 6spd CL... I usually say, anything is possible with enough time and money... Most of these guys are dreamers or back pocket mechanics (when mechanic work needs to be down, they reach for their wallets)... They post, realize the difficulty and never post again...

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

 

Holy shiet! thats like a inch or so more than mine. hummm well i guess ill probably be doing a little cutting and welding. I didnt think acura raised the fenders and hood that much. Guess they did.


Oh and thanks for measuring

 

There are days i wish i didnt know what end was the buisness end. It would be much easier to bring it in , but alas more expensive. Yea its going to take some time, this si getting to be the busy time of year for me when i spend alot of time on the road. Im hoping to get every thing in by the end of this month though. (wether it will be running or not

 

 

if its fit on an av6 why he doesnt fin on a tl ? looks like the same thing ?
