hey I have an 00 TL. w/ 225hp,,, what is the difference with a 00 or 01 type s, i know they have like 260hp, but internally, what does the the type s have other than bigger wheels, lip kit ?

 

search, it's been discussed a gazillion times

 

Type S does not have a lip kit. TL Type-S is the hot one, and represents about 40 percent of total TL sales. It provides 260 horsepower as opposed to the TL's 225 horsepower, with the extra power coming from a higher compression ratio, a two-stage induction system, a larger throttle body (with no decrease in gas mileage), free-flowing exhaust, high-performance intake valves and camshafts, and modified variable valve (VTEC) timing. Type S also comes with an increased steering ratio and a firmer suspension, thanks to stiffer shocks, a slightly larger rear stabilizer bar, and 17-inch alloy wheels with Michelin P215/50R17 high-performance tires.
Notably, the Type-S comes standard with Acura's Vehicle Stability Assist, an electronic stability program that uses anti-lock braking and traction control to keep the car from sliding. Yaw, lateral g, speed and steering sensors all provide input, and the throttle and brakes are automatically reduced or applied as needed.

 

 

You guys don't know what you're talking about. Quit giving him false information. What Acura doesn't want you to know is that the power comes from the perforated shift knob.

You see, the reduced weight of the shift knob reduces the parasidic loss of power on the transmission. That directly translates to more power. 35hp to be exact. Don't let these guys tell you otherwise.

 

 

shift knob??????.......................NO


power comes from the red TypeS on the shift knob.

 

Oh come on now, now you're just talking crazy.

Don't tell anyone, but if you tighten the shift knob a few extra turns, it's good for another 5-10 hp

 

no such thing as a 01 type-s, in only came out in 02-03

 

OMFG are u serious?!?!?! brb gonna try it real quick

 

Nothing, you just get a cool red badge and 17" wheels for an extra 2,000 dollars.

Pimpin' ain't cheap, but someone's gotta do it.

 

hahah LOLZ its none of those...its a secret...only hint is it rotates......friend is an acura tech he told me...simple as butter

 

i appreciate all the mature responses...I would expect this on a honda civic forum.

 

They are just messing with you man , it's like a hazing everyone goes through it. Be happy we actually responded most of the time we don't ..

 

I answered your trite question...so all is well tireman Try and use search function if you can from now on...I just don't think you realize how many times the question has been asked/answered.
