Been trying to look into squeezing out as much as I can from my J32A1 engine in my 2000 Acura TL by trying to get it to breathe better without sacrificing practicality. I've been looking into intake manifold mods and I came across these Ported lower Runners from P2R.
Anybody have any experience with these or any intake manifold mods for the J32A1 motors? I'm currently running an AEM V2 cold air intake and a full header back exhaust with DC Sports headers, magnaflow cat, and a Tanabe Cat back.
I'm almost out of options at trying to make the car breathe better without going extreme with Forced induction or building the motor.
I know it makes more sense on a Type S TL or CL but this is a child hood care of mine and I'm just looking to get the most out of it since I'm never getting rid of her, lol. https://www.powerrevracing.com/P2R-J...ers-p/p321.htm
The price for those just doesn't make any sense until your making much more hp. You could buy a whole Type S engine for that price.
Next on your list to build power on a J32A1 is getting a lightweight crank pulley, and then swapping a 3.7L intake manifold.
I checked XLR8’s website and it looks like they discontinued it any idea of where I could get a lightweight pulley that’s reputable? I’ve been thinking of installing one for a while most likely during my next timing belt service.
The 3.7L manifold also interests me but that’ll be part of a whole intake revamp that will include these runners. Just need to find a detailed thread of someone who performed the swap to see what I need to look for when doing the job.

I have an unorthodox racing ultra SSC 2 piece 12 volt charger (stock diameter) series crank pulley (#0206110) and p/s pulley (#0106410) set that's sitting around doing nothing, if you are interested. The set came off a NY state car, so there is a little pitting / corrosion; however, this has no effect on use. There is no alt pulley because this was made for peeps who S/C'ed with CT and used their pulley that comes with the kit.
It's possible. When I was running the lightweight crank pulley together with the AASCO lightweight flywheel with stock clutch and pressure plate, my 03 CL-S6 ECU would throw a code occasionally. It ran great, but it would just throw a code every now and then. I believe Comptech discontinued their lightweight flywheel because people had issues using it with the UR crank pulley, but it's been a long time.

In reality, I think it's just a false positive code because the crank is able to spin faster than expected. I'm running both with no issues, as my AEM ecu isn't capable of throwing a code anyways. If you're on the OEM ecu, I would just pick one or the other. Obviously the crank pulley is a lot cheaper than an entire lightweight flywheel/clutch setup.

you converted the aem to the true manual sensors? And you have any noise or vibrations from the crank pulley? Debating on adding it to the parts i have still to toss on my build
I swapped from Auto TL to a true manual setup. I then converted all the wiring/sensors back to auto and ran the AEM ecu.
Because I had the lightweight flywheel, I used the OEM heavy crank pulley with the damper. It dampens the vibrations by having a rubber section between the inner and outer sections of the pulley.
Turns out rubber isn't as strong as metal. I use the UR crank pulley now.

Well if enough people sign up for the XLR8 group buy for the light weight pulley then that’s my next mod since until they confirm the next production line it’s discontinued. That’s why I’m looking into mods that assist with airflow in my J32A1. How difficult is it to polish the intake manifold runners yourself?
Thoughts on P2R Ported Intake Runners for J32A1?
