whats the best mod or mods to get my regular 3.2 tl to a tl-s power or faster. with out spending too much money? Also people who know TLwhat makes the TL-s faster what are the changes acura made to give it the extra horsepower?

 

1. Headers. Cheapest = XS headers from ssautochrome on ebay. dyno'd a couple times, seem to be about the same as comptech (they copied the design after all) and should result in decent gains in the TL-P.

2. TL-S incoporates VTEC. Look up "VTEC" on www.howstuffworks.com they do a good description

 

the TL-P has V-TEC?????

 

Trade your TL and get the TL-S! Then do all the mods you can afford on your new TL-S.

 

yea pimp the tlp does have vtec.. tl-s differences are:the heads/valves are bigger, compression ratio is higher, its all forged internals. bigger injectors, different fuel maps, theres more.
you could do a frankenstein but its prolly easier/cheaper to do a total engine swap.

 

get a crank pulley and headers and you'll be all set.

 

Intake + headers, after pulley and spacers.. and you will be as fast as a tls..

 

and if ya line up next to a TL-S just hope he doesn't have the same modes

 

lol i think all acuras do. try openin your hood.

 

All Tl-s have vtec. not just the TL-S

 

oh ok so how much do these mods run for? what are the best companys that you guys would recommend for headers, intake, and pully for a tl? Thans for the info guys

 

headers: try XS
Intake: AEM
Pulley: UR

 

i cant think of any honda product (cars) that doesnt have VTEC.

 

Only the GSR and Type-R Integras had VTEC. Many older hondas could only WISH for VTEC

 

The Main Part Of The Type S's Power Is The Throttle Body And Cam's
I Came Across A Type S Dual Stage Throttle Body And Would Like To Install It In To My None Type S Any Suggestions? Any Body

 

The entire intake and exhaust tract are different.
The intake manifold is dual stage, not the throttle body

 

Where in P-Funk you from? We could meet up since I'm always there. Suprised you haven't seen me around.

 

im talking current models.

 

the main part of the power came from different internals to allow higher compression, larger and different intake manifold different ecu tuning, different cams and larger throttle body.

The throttle body isnt dual stage. What you came across was a TB with the VSA throttle body attached.

 

if you wnat to save money....find ppl that bought generic parts off ebay.. i have a generic cold air intake that i bought for 60 and it fits perfect and no problems...and i recently found somebody that bought generic headers from ebay and he said they fit and are good so imma buy the exact same ones for around 120 i think.

 

To beat a type S from a highway roll, it took me: Injen Intake / OBX Headers / Custom Magnaflow Catback / MDX Intake Manifold / Type S Thottle body / Apexi VAFCII. That let me pull on the top end, down low was different, because unless you strap a blower on the P or the Type S driver cant launch and spins too much, then the TYpe S will edge you out until about 60.

 

Your right, the heads were different, the manifold was different, throttle body, vsa, cams, ecu, lots more.

 

del sol with B16 a has vitec, gsr has v-tec type r has v-tec, ls/vetc integra ciciv si has v-tec and some accords have v-tec, preludes only some but there are alot of hondas that don't have v-tec like civics old accords and old preludes

 

All Acuras with a J or K series engine have VTEC

And of course the NSX

 

My 99' Saber with the 2.5 L VTEC......

 

WOW. cool. i never knew the TL.s came with a 2.5 V6?? .. the above is true not all honda's came with VTEC. actually all the teg from the 1st to 3rd gen did not come in vtec besides the GSR (93 was first with Vtec in teg series). the RS/LS was non-Vtec. civics and Crx's did not come out vtec unless it was JDM with the B16 and or B18c. but yeah even accords too. so it came in certain models only for US.

As for the power difference. the mods everyone above states is the great place to start with. or you could just pick up a Type S from the black market or your neighborhood. they are pretty easy to find here and there. just have to look. good luck on your power searching endevor!!! its like drugs. never enough and always expensive!!!

 

when i said that all honda's do. i ment that i cant think of any of the newer models.

 

im down by rock av. yeah i havent seen you around!

 

Whats your point

 

i dont think thats a type s. its a 99 but i didnt know 99 came with a 2.5?

 

o

 

if you just add the intake will you feel any difference and do anybody know any catback that not to loud but works

 

This is an INSPIRE .. and the guy its from japan ! we dont have this model here.. there is no leater and stuff like that ..

 

Intake for about 5 whp, headers for about 15whp .. exaust you will loose low end torke

 

Custom magnaflow set up, Apex'i WS II, Comtech cat-back, Tanabe SMH cat-back.
You will feel a little more throttle response with Intake, or that's what it felt like to me. Yes you can tell a slight difference.

 

thanks any special one or any one will do (cai) a little better or not much difference

 

Comptech icebox and Aem V2 for best performance.. icebox = quiet, v2 = loud.. a normal intake will do the job properly .. maybe 1-2hp difference at the top .. I have Aem cai .. and a friend of mine have the Injen, Injen have bigger piping size..

 

thanks no water problem

 

i never had problem with water, i floor it when its rain etc..

 

What the hell is an icebox? Someone show me a picture or something...does it really make a difference?
