Just What That Said, Like What Is The Name Of Our Engnie? Oh And Are There Any Japanese Spec Engines For Our Cars W/ More Hp ? I Hope My ?? Made Sense

 

TLP: J32A1
TypeS: J32A2
Accord: J30
Accord: 04+ J30A4
Acura NSX 1991-1996 C30A
Acura NSX 2002+ C32B

and no japanese spec engines

 

Forgot to mention these:

TL 04+: J32S
RL 05+: J35

 

oops how silly of me
and these

C32A6 3.2L USDM SOHC non-VTEC V6 91-95 Legend Sdn, 91-92 Legend Cpe 96-98 3.2TL 200hp
C32A5 3.2L USDM SOHC non-VTEC V6 94-95 Legend GS Sdn, 93-95 Legend Cpe 230hp
C32A? 3.2L DOHC VTEC- V6 97+ NSX/NSX-T 290hp
C35A2 3.5L USDM SOHC non-VTEC V6 3.5RL 215-225hp
J35A1 3.5L USDM SOHC VTEC V6 98+ Odyessy 210hp
J35A3 3.5L USDM SOHC VTEC V6 Acura MDX 240hp

 

I thought the new TL was the J32A3?

 

UA6 TL = J32A3
Second generation RL = C35A3

The RL doesn't share the J-block; instead it uses a variation of the C-block from the NSX.

 

how is that? i thought the nsx had a wider angle block than the J series???????

 

Yeah, the C-series is 90 degrees, and the J-series is 60 degrees.

I'm missing your point, though.

 

i wasnt aware that the RL was 90 deg, i thought it shared our 60deg architecture?

 

Oh, I see your point now.

Yeah, but the RL block is designated as the C-series. Good point; now I'm curious.

 

guess we will have to get to the bottom of this.

 

Off supercars.net -->

engine 90 Degree, Aluminum V6
position Front Transverse
valvetrain SOHC, 4 Valves per Cyl w/VTEC

Yet, Road & Track says it's 60 degrees. What the hell?

 

Off Acuranews (hondanews.com) -->

and i just read that the new rl went from the c series to the new J series

http://www.answers.com/topic/acura-rl

 

thats messed up. the odyessey and ridgeline use the J series and the rl is the C???

 

that has to be wrong??? keep reading that they all use the same J series

 

Then why does hondanews.com say that the '05 2G RL has a 90-degree block?

OK, I guess the 2G RL has the J-series now, then. But I'm pretty sure that the 1G RL had the C-block.

 

the 1 g did have the C. they said in 96 they went to the j cause its designed to sit transverse as opposed to the C.

Im more Cornfused now than ever?

 

Is that even a valid reason?? The C-block is capable of being mounted transversely -- look at the NSX.

 

but the wider angle takes up more room, and with these cars being fwd all the space savings counts

 

That's true. Even trasversely mounted, these engine bays are already packed in.

As for the C vs. J issue... I'm still confused. RL owners should go check their engine block stamps for us.

 

well browsing thru the rl forum they have it stated as a j35

 

Alrighty, J-series it is.




J-series rated at 300 hp stock.... J-series in my car.... gives me evil ideas.

 

im going to stick with its a J series also.

300+ J series. just need to mix and match parts!

 

so if its a J series what is the engine code then?

 

Fucked if I know.

Ah, the quest for truth continues...

<-- googling

 

someone told me once that we have an nsx block, I did not believe them, can any1 verify if this is true... also what happend to my avatar? it vanished, no francine double d's ;[

 

Looks like it's J35A8.

 

This is not true. Our TL's have the J-block. The NSX has the C-block.

 

Yes, the new RL is the J35A8.

The J35A7 is the new Odyssey engine with VCM.

 

Well, where the hell were ya two hours ago?

 

Haha I was posting asking why someone said the 04+ TL had a J32S!

 

Yeah, about that... where the hell did the S come from?

 

the S comes after the R and before the T (I couldn't resist)

 

wow, i read this whole thread and started getting confused thinking i had accidentally walked into one of pureadrenaline's & fsttyms1's PM's!!

 

No love for the TSX k24?

 

The NSX's engines are the C30A and the C32B

And yes, the 1996-2004 RL is the C35A1

2005+ RL is a J35A8

 

 

hahahaa

 

r u sure, i thought the C only went UPTO 1996
