i will make a diy on what u need and what to do, but for now this is what im doing.

what i started with




what i have done so far.


only for looks, like the cleaner look with no tabs. still got to add a few more goodies to it and it will be ready to get installed.

fsttyms1

Sweet.

I wish i had room for this mod under my hood. I am also planing on doing the 09 Intake manifold.

power bulge

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

im gonna let a friend try it out on his 01 with cl-s engine and 6spd swap to see how much room he has. i know the engine sits higher but u might get away it cutting the bar and putting spacer under the hood hinges. also u can mill it down a bit.

Rajca

im waiting on 7 more bolts from acura. got two and the rest are on back order since two weeks ago.

hANDYcaptd

iTrader: (5)

^ You just got the MDX bolts right?

DC3328

iTrader: (22)

any thought towards the 09 manifold?? :wink wink nudge nudge:

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

yup, the mdx bolts. no plans of it yet. i just want to go boost and enjoy it.

Did I understand that the 09 intake is not as tall as the older ones? If so, how much, and would that allow for enough clearance?

Ruf

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

It is shorter, don't know by how much. Ask e30 or civicdrivr to compare their oem one to the 09 manifold

hANDYcaptd

iTrader: (5)

If I remember right, you only need about 1/8 inch with the MDX and thermal spacer, from rajca's measurements

The 09 IM has got to be at least 1/8 inch shorter.

Anyone remember the gains from the 09 IM?

DC3328

iTrader: (22)

the gains given by civicdrivr were a few hp and tq across the entire rpm range but something is wrong with his car so I don't know if that's its real full potential

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

^yup. 3rd gen tl are getting about 7wtq and some hp. For under $100 its better than adding and intake ore catback

fsttyms1

I have about 1/4 inch. I would have to cut the hood and power bulge it.

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

^ that sucks. no spacer for u than.

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

what u need
intake manifold space, part number 17108-PGK-A00
9 extended bolts, part number 95701-08105-08
another intake manifold to spacer gasket, part number 17105-P8E-A01

OR u can get the p2r thermo spacer

fsttyms1

I still may try it with the 09 intake to see what happens? Then deal with the hood afterwards if the gains are worth the cutting and welding

DC3328

iTrader: (22)

ITS TIME..............

gfrg88

iTrader: (2)

cant wait to see the gains!!

I dont think that would be big enough to fit it under, unless i turned it sideways.

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

U can do like a cowl hood syle hood

fsttyms1

I was thinking of doing something like the Mazda speed 6

hANDYcaptd

iTrader: (5)

^ That's hot.

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

doesnt look too bad, but i think if it was taller it would stand out more.

DC3328

iTrader: (22)

where are the photoshoppers?!?!

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

lets not go off topic with this.

:waitsforinstalledpicswithdyno:

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

install pics soon to come. dyno in a few months when i swap in my other non defective motor.

winhansse

So, this mod can not fit on 99 tl? Right.

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

not sure. the intake manifold is diff. but i think that it will work since the runners are the same and bottom of the intake manifold is the same.

winhansse

subcribed.So clearance is O.K?

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

clearance is an issue unless u get the spacer milled down 7mm.

'02_TL-S

Just to clarify:
Clearance is an issue even in Type-S or just '99-'01 TL-P?

For Kris:
'09 manifold will fit Type-S or just the TL-P with the smaller TB?

Very interested in this thread and awaiting results.

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

clearance is an issue.

read ur choices above on what to do.
kris can put it on bc he has a type s engine in his 99-01. with the oem engine in the 99-01 u will have the same problem as the rest of us.

09 manifold will fit type s and i want to say the tl-p but no one has done it on a tl-p/cl-p.

fsttyms1

^ the 09 should fit the tl-p as well since the type-s manifold bolts right up to the 00-03 (99 is a little different)

NSXNEXT

iTrader: (2)

I have a 99TL with a TypeS IM and I can tell you there is not much room left between the hood and the IM.

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

2nd guy to back it up. now someone needs to try the 09 in on a 99-01 tl.

dealer has two more bolts. tomorrow they said they will have the other 5. hopefully, been 3weeks if not longer.
