alright guys 2000 tl all bolt ons installed just to give you back info. I want to build up this j32 can anyone hook it up with a list. Price is not a factor as this is a build i plan on spending a lot on anyway. Intend to get another 5-10 years out of this car. By summer Ill have swapped the accord 6 speed in so forget mentioning that. Just any knowledge anyone has is much appreciated. Id like to know what i doing before I go out and guess

 

first, you will need a goal.
what the heck is your goal?
do you want to be the fastest N/A around town?
do you want to go Forced Induction?

what are your plans?

 

A supercharger is about 5 grand. A turbo kit around 1 g.


Put a list up as to what you have done already. That would help.

 

??

 

Don't get the Accord 6 spd. It doesn't have an LSD like the Acura 6spds.

If you plan to stay NA, get a 3.5 crankshaft from an Odyssey. Also, get higher compression pistons from an RL.

If you plan to go FI, get the 3.5 crankshaft but keep the stock J32 pistons.

Don't bother beefing the internals yet, since you're not making any serious power yet.

 

Hey Castis, what all have ya done so far in the way of bolt-ons ?

If price is not a factor, drop a 3.5 into the car when doing the 6 speed swap. Much stronger motor. While you're at it, find an '02>'03 "S" model as they are more desirable.

Hey.....why don't ya just buy a 4th Gen that already has the stick in it and go from there with the updated bodystyle ??? Just guessin' at this point with unlimited funds and a long range plan.

 

since the new TLX is coming, I bet the 4G's are dropping in price quick!

if it werent so ugly, i'd get one in 6 speed with the SHAWD

 

Yeah, save a bunch of hard work and get a newer model with a stick !!!

 

F that, get the 3.7 crank and rods and keep the stock bore for a 3.6 or bore it and run 90mm pistons for a 3.7. All OEM stock internals are forged for strength not weight. They will handle a lot and you could run boost if you kept the stock bore.
