Love this engine talk.

 

i got the tl-s i bought this afternoon ooh boy!i open the hood and to my surprise comptech headers and axel backs this car can defenitly be fix.im going to tow it to my frame guy tommarow.wifey just got a new toy03 wdp tl-s cooming soon

 

on another note,should i get a bone yard 3.5 or get new for the crank?

 

Depends on your budget and the price of the engine vs new crank.

I would get new for peace of mind but if you're engine is toast, get the 3.5 and rebuild that or swap blocks or something.

 

who ever has a buget on some thing like this you never know what your going to run in too.when i bought this car new i never intened doing any of this,its when i finshed my other car i got bored.now im selling my civic due to a new house i just bought.my wife said tl or civic?tl is safe for now i got a kid coming to look at it tonite he said he had cash. if i get what i want it.then the six speed can go in too

 

Sounds good. Funny thing is I'm building my D-series in my Civic while the TL is more of a grocery getter...for now.

But hurry up quick because J's are becoming a craze ever since Honda Tuning came out.

I forsee many J's in Civics and Integras now. Alot of guys that were into the K's are now ditching the K's and getting J's.

 

i got a b18c1,turbo.type-r tranny ls fith gear for fuel econ.stock apperence.300 hp@11psi hate to get rid of it.fun car.why a d-series?

 

Nice setup. Why? Because it's underrated and everyone hates on it. Just imagine an econo engine keeping up with most cars today. I love the look of people with swaps when they see what I have under hood. Believe me it's not that bad and it's pretty much a cheaper alternative as well.

Besides I run Autox and roadrace with it. Don't want to swap and change class and get my ass whooped in a modified status.

 

ahh gotchawhat year 3.5 should i get?
i built mine to race but never did no time.draged it a couple times mostly messin around with my freinds.she left yesterday and some 19 year old kid is broke know but has a sweet car.hope he dosnt kill it....

 

You will be fine from a J35A1 block out of a pre-'01 Odyssey and use Type S heads but make sure you change the pistons to CL-S or RL's.

You could get a whole motor out of a J35A4 out of a '02-'04 Odyssey or or '03-'04 Pilot.

There are several Type-S Auto motors here going for $700+shipping.

 

Hi, I'm new to this forum and want to know if it have guy that have trouble with turbo kit and how much boost? I thinking to go boost and man tranny for next year. I have a 2002 tl-p, j32a3 camshaft, j32a3 upper/lower intake manifold (port polish),xspower headers, ur pulleys, j32a2 tb, vafc2 with plx wideband, port and polish j32a1 head with angle cut valve job, cai, 2.5 exhaust with magnaflow cat and magnaflow mufflers

Thanks!

 

^theres a couple guys running turbo on the board.

good info on this thread

 

no tl's that we know about, yet. ask in the cl section.

 

So, if i understand this right.
A J32a2 heads (from a Acura TL 03) will fit a J35a1 block (from a 00 honda Odyssey).....with no mods?

Sorry to bring a dead topic back.

 

Yes. And you can add 05 RL pistons for higher compression

 

What about the cam gears?
I was told that the Honda pilot has the best cams.
Is that true?
