all these people doing the swaps....pissing me off, arggggg

gl

 

^ my friend's are bugging me when im gonna do this...

 

Kids these days.

 

Nice man, take pics as you go along.

 

That's an -A4, did you pull that from an Odyssey?

 

remember to change the water pump and timing belt before install- when its really easy to do- nice score!!

 

Thanks for the comments...

I will take all the pics I can as I go along.

Nothing I like better than to help fellow AZiners out.

This specific engine is from 02-04 Odyssey.

You can get one from the 02-04 Odyssey or the 03-04 Pilot.

 

damn, as if my 225 isnt slow enough compared to the 260, you guys gotta go and do this now

 

LOL.

You still have a nice car. That's what counts.

 

Wow! Post some dynos when your done and keep us posted. I just knew someone would eventually a 3.5L swap. Are you gonna need new mounts? Maybe not since it's still a J-series...

 

lol, thats what they alll sayy.

nice signature btw

 

I can use the same mounts. I will be upgrading to Innovative soon.

You better believe I will be posting dynos when everything is all said and done.

 

Very nice, I'm guessing you are going to do some kind of frankenstein build with this. Give us some more details. I'm very interested in reading about swaps/builds, that fellow members tackle. Good luck with it, and I can't wait to see the final results.

 

are there kits to bore those motors out.? to like a 4.0 or something

 

So, the J35A4 240 hp stock? I guess it has a much flatter torque curve tho... Are you gonna use type-s heads?

 

3.5L has been done before buy a bunch of people...

 

I will be doing a build for all motor. I figured since I will be going through all the trouble swapping trannys, I might as well rebuild an engine too.

I don't think there are kits to bore out our motors to 4.0.

The J35a4 will be very torquey.

My plan build is listed below:

CL-S heads/cams
RL pistons
S2K Injectors
Fuel Pressure Regulator
Fuel pump
UR pulleys
OE Spacers
E-manage to tune my motor.
and All the mods currently on my vehicle I/H/E

The headers are direct bolt on and so are the pulleys.

It will also be daily driven, so no boost for me. Maybe in the long run.

 

How much did the motor run you? And where did you find it? I'm still a ways off from being able to do something like this but its good to have a reference.

 

You can check out www.car-part.com

Look for 02-04 Odyssey engine or 03-04 Pilot engine. $1,200-$2,000 depending on mileage.

Then you have 6-speed transmission which ranges from $1,200-$2,000. Again, depending on mileage.

Swap parts about $1,200-$1,400.

This is all not including the labor.

Total for my swap is going to cost me 5.5k

Hope this helps.

 

holy crap.

this is WAY off topic., but that site is amazing.

Im currently fixing up a 87 prelude and naturally, parts are hard to find---I found everything I needed!

thanks for the 411!

 

LOL.

No problem.

 

You lucky bastard. lol I want a 3.5 sooo bad!

 

Inspire TL are u getting Paul to do the work for you???

 

Yes sir. That man builds some awesome motors.

Where have you been lately?

 

Get one. I'll walk you through.

 

We cant bore these motors out. There just isnt enough material to do so safely. There is a very small amount to oversize for rebuilds but thats about it.
They share a common wall so there just isnt the space

 

yes he does...i was at his house on saturday i went to dyno too...ive just been chillin getttin my funds 2gether so that he can put in my SC and powdercoat everything...i thnk ima have him do the 6spd swap on my tranny too..i dunno yet...he wants to do the 3.5 stroke on my motor too...im just overwhelmed by the possibilites lol...

 

I hear ya bro. Do the 6-speed. The tranny won't hold up long.

3.5 is up to you. IMO you might as well if you are going the tranny swap route.

BTW, J-series FTW. We are so underated.
