2003 Acura TL FAQ, HELP, UPGRADES, ONLY
Hi guys I'm a first time car owner and buyer of a 2003 Acura TL base model. My friend threw a piston driving in manual up the freeway the other day through the oil pan. And now I need major help from any and everybody to get my tuner back up and running safely and efficiently and also upgrading it and nodding it out and meeting up for sick wicked car meets.

Step 1, buy a used motor and have it put in.

lol thanks for the kind reply treply. I have priced a motor and oil pan from All Jap car part for $450. Also I read on here It would be suitable to also buy an $850 AV6 tranny from a 06 or 07 Honda accord as well. But the tranny I have now is still chugging although going out. I can't afford it right away but seems like if I'm gonna get the motor dropped may as well have the tranny put in too.

and you know what if I'm flamebait, you really need to impart all of your wisdom on someone like me who's actually trying to learn a thing or two in his life instead of smoking weed and playing video games jacking off and stealing. I'm begging. Lol. Help a brother out. I'm trying to learn my baby inside and out. I've already bought ch H a manual on it and read it halfway. Kinda dumb but a start lol. I wanna be a DIY mechanic. I gotta stay et somewhere yo.

Just a suggestion, members here tend to get a little irritated when they keep answering the same question over and over and over again. This topic has been pretty well hashed out; use the search functionality and you should be able to easily discover all of the information you need regarding which engines will fit your car. In other words, time for you to help yourself out.

FWIW: Wise choice to replace the transmission at the same time. If the $850.00 cost of the AV6 is an issue, there may be a less costly, but more RISKY alternative. If you have access to a local Pick-N-Pull yard, you may be able to locate an AV6, from an 06-07 Accord hit in the side, or rear, for around $120.00, assuming you can pull it yourself. Of course, this source is also based of the ASSUMPTION, that the transmission in the salvage car was operating properly, before the car was damaged. If you don't have the tools, or the skill necessary to pull the transmission yourself, generally, there are independent people, not associated with the yard itself, who will pull a part for you. In my area, these people charge between $70 and $100 to pull a transmission.
