I thought the new TL was the J32A3?

Pure Adrenaline

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.

fsttyms1

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

Pure Adrenaline

iTrader: (2)

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

I'm missing your point, though.

fsttyms1

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

Pure Adrenaline

iTrader: (2)

Oh, I see your point now.

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

fsttyms1

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) -->

2005 ACURA RL SPECIFICATIONS
POWERTRAIN

Engine Type
3.5-liter, SOHC, 90-degree V-6

fsttyms1

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

fsttyms1

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

fsttyms1

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

Pure Adrenaline

iTrader: (2)

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.

fsttyms1

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?

Pure Adrenaline

iTrader: (2)

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

fsttyms1

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

Pure Adrenaline

iTrader: (2)

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.

fsttyms1

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

Pure Adrenaline

iTrader: (2)

Alrighty, J-series it is.




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

fsttyms1

im going to stick with its a J series also.

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

fsttyms1

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

Pure Adrenaline

iTrader: (2)

Fucked if I know.

Ah, the quest for truth continues...

<-- googling

actright

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 ;[

Pure Adrenaline

iTrader: (2)

Looks like it's J35A8.

Pure Adrenaline

iTrader: (2)

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

03CoupeV6

Yes, the new RL is the J35A8.

The J35A7 is the new Odyssey engine with VCM.

Pure Adrenaline

iTrader: (2)

Well, where the hell were ya two hours ago?

03CoupeV6

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

Pure Adrenaline

iTrader: (2)

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

mezzerTL-S

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

***EL*MAFIOSO***

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

GIBSON6594

No love for the TSX k24?

Ken1997TL

The NSX's engines are the C30A and the C32B

And yes, the 1996-2004 RL is the C35A1

2005+ RL is a J35A8

Pure Adrenaline

iTrader: (2)

***EL*MAFIOSO***

hahahaa

fsttyms1

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