Little somethin' I bought today, should be picking it up soon
Try not to mind all the grease

 

sweet. u keeping ur stock trans?

 

Sweet

 

^^ do any of you think that engine would be able to fit in the 2.5 tl engine bay?

 

for the time being i have no choice lol. I'm in a mechanics technical college in Nashville, so all my money is being sucked into my education Somewhere down the road ill pick up a 05+ 6speed im sure

Oh yeah, this thing is BRAND SPANKIN' NEW

 

damm man!!! goodluck!!! im glad to see sumbody else is willing to par-take in a challenge like this.

Good luck with the swap. Considering the engine is new, how much did you pick it up for?

 

dam i jus jizzed cuz i know what i'm gonna expect....

 

... $250, less shipping...:thief:

 

^^^wtf? good shit...befor you put the heads on be sure to port and polish em...u can clean up the exhaust ports too while ur at it

 

awesome, good luck man

keep us updated

 

Shell out a bit more cash flow and maybe it a 6-speed while you're at it.

 

Dude if it was that cheap, maybe go find a junk CLS6 or AV6 and pull the trans out. Def agree on port and polish too. Goodluck bro!

 

My first goal is to have the engine ready to run. I'm going to be ordering the new gaskets and such shortly after I receive the shortblock. I've ran into an issue already involving the head gaskets, hopefully one of the gurus can chime in (we know who you are )

Was double checking the part numbers, came up with an issue. Not sure which rear cylinder head gasket kits to pick up. Odyssey, TL, or TL-S. Obviously my natural choice would be the standard TL-P gasket, since those are my heads. But since I came accross odd variances (2 Type-S Gaskets per bank, front banks being the same for ody/TL yet rears dif) I figured I would go ahead and ask if anyone knew why. The block kit and front bank kit is a no brainer, the rear im not so sure about.

Block Gasket Kits (Same):
6111-P8A-A01 (TL/TL-S/Odyssey)

Front Cylinder Head Gasket Kits:
06110-P8F-A13 (TL-S #1)
06110-PGK-A11 (TL/TL-S #2/Odyssey)

Rear Cylinder Head Gasket Kits:
06120-P8F-A14 (TL-S #1)
06120-PGE-A12 (TL/TL-S #2)
06120-PGK-A12 (Odyssey)

 

 

If your going to spend the money on it i would turn it into a type-s motor. I dont see the gains from keeping it a tl-p 3.5 worth the money.

 

Thats the idea if things go according to plan just need to find a cheap CL6 Engine. Thats why I'm confused about there being 2 different part numbers for each head gasket for the Type-S, did they update its construction or something?

 

i dont think so since the 3.2 of that year was a C32...

and I believe its mounted the opposite way

what you can do is try and get the C32 and then mate the Legend 6 speed tranny to it

 

wow $250?????? amazing..lol

 

yea thats a steal, and your one lucky bastard! Build it with -s heads and try to find a cl6 and hopefully you come up on that to, i always randomly run into them for sale salvaged so i hope the same to the man with money and the plan. Keep up the good work!

 

how much power do you think you'd make by making adding a 3.5 to an -s engine?

 

Currently I have a base non-s engine. This build is gonna be long and slow, taking a lot of knowledge gained from Austins build. This engine will be somewhat blueprinted (fully if funds allow) for reliability purposes, not power. But to answer your question, a Type-S to 3.5 Type-S conversion has been rumored to be roughly 40 HP at the crank, estimated, if I remember correctly. Basically it just gives you more noticeable torque in the low end. a 3.5 bottom end is 10:1, a Type-S is 10.5:1. A true Type-S 3.5 would be only the rods and crank while still retaining the Type-S pistons. Just throwing Type-S heads on a complete 3.5 bottom end running 10:1 wouldn't net gains near as much as the 10:5 build.

This will be a 11:1 NA build using forged RL pistons.

Station, i never run into those kinds of things....You should let me know when you do :wink:
