We need our own threads. We shouldn't be classified just as 2nd Generation. we have a totally different engine so please start posting everything that you guys have done to your V6's here.

 

Nothing is available yet, so nothing lol

 

Engine specific = K&N drop in air filter

After having a 2nd gen 4-cyl loaner and being horrified by how much slower it is than the V6, I honestly don't think I'll do anything to the engine. The only thing I think the car really needs is a bigger rear sway bar to control all the body roll. When I put on my summer tires, the roll seemed to worsen.

 

there are some minor stuff my friend has done to his, but nothing really out there

 

all i have done so far is to add the deck lip spoiler it looks really nice i didnt like the way the wing spoiler looked on the car foe me is either the deck lip spoiler or the mugen spoiler theres no have way gansters!

 

Half*

 

are there even intakes available for our v6's?

 

Not officially. Intakes from prior gen TL's with the 3.5 *may* fit with modifications.

 

those anyone know about any suspensions for our v6's

 

just traded in my 08 TL for a 2010 v6, i did some research befor my desicion. there is an accord sri that will work as an intake, forget which year, its on here somewhere. as far as power gains? damn...i dunno if i feel like chopping up this one. its so nice, so refined, and it already has lots of power. i dont think i would ruin it by tearing off the stock intake just for a few hp..
the only thing im gonna do is run royal purple, which is proven to free up about 3 hp and it gives better mpg, tint windows of course, and go all led lighting interior/exterior. there are not many of our v6's out there, my dealership had a hard time finding mine in the whole state! lets keep 'em cleeean sleepers

 

suspension is universal is it not?

you v6 guys have an available throttle body spacer. its like 80 bucks

 

The most killer thing you can do to a V6 is take the "V6" emblem off....to the naked eye, you could have a I4 with like +80HP of "mods"...

 

dont think so, since the v6 is heavier, thus require different (spring rate?) or something like that....LOl someone more knowledgeable chime in please

 

Too bad,We dont get the V6 in Germany

 

hmm...that makes alotta sense. engine heavier up front so it requires more resistance for the same drop.

 

Agreed!

 

What does the throttle body spacer actually do? Where does it go?

 

TB spacers go between the intake manifold and the TB.

 

I think the drop is actually different on the V6 vs I4. I think the V6 is lower. Could be wrong though.

 

its basically a 3/4"(?) gasket that fits between the intake manifold and the throttle body. the material its made out of keeps heat from the engine/intake manifold from transferring to the throttle body/intake tube, which keeps the intake air cooler, cooler air more dense, bigger bang in combustion. more power. i dont think it adds hp just lets you keep what u have after the engine temp gets high after a little driving.

 

The suspension on the V6 is tuned to be firmer than the I4's partly b/c of the extra 200lbs on the front. But Ive also read from fellow acuraziners here that the V6 is about an inch lower than the I4's as well...

or at least from what I could infer from couple of the comments from here:
https://acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?p=12039686

 

according to edmunds.com the base and v6 both have a 5.9" ground clearence so...

Just purchased an intake for my V6... once it arrives & is installed I will post it.

 

hi at all,
this is joshua from germany, so sorry for my english.
as i can see, all of you own a tsx v6.
very nice car !!! , unfortunately not available here in germany

may i ask some of you to do me a favor.

i own the european version of the tsx, called cu2 executive here in germany.
as i want to implement the hood struts at my car, i am in need of some pictures of the original installed struts / dampers of a tsx v6 2010 (closeups of how they are fixed/installed at the hood and fender).


as well i am looking for the engine room cover and there are only 2 parts missing to have it complete . could you pls ask your local dealer for the part-no's of the two marked pcs at enclosed picture ?



it would be great if one you could help me with that.

of course, i will post some pictures of my "baby" later on.

thank you very very much

cheers
josh

 

Has anyone been following Honda tuning magazine TSX V6 project if not check this out.
http://www.hondatuningmagazine.com/t...des/index.html

 

^thank! i've been following that!

 

wow, i used to be iffy about the lip, but after its half painted it looks pretty damn good!

the spoiler i still dont know yet, need more pics!

and i cant believe thats all they are doing for the car! i was expecting much more from this project

 

They did other things like wheels and tires and cold air intake and but i know what you mean how about a super charger or Turbo?

 

cant wait for my v6 special ordered a 2011 vortex blue no nav it comes next month been driving my moms 3rd gen tl im pretty excited nohomo haha

 

haha yeah i've been following their build so i was aware of those upgrades too but was just hoping for more

 

All parts for the Accord V6 will work on the TSX V6.

 

^+1 - Just installed a Takeda Retain SRI on my ride...

 

Correct.

Unfortunately I think no one has been here to help you guys out and there's been no one helping you guys out with parts, but there are lots of modifications that we have been able to bring to market for the V6 (and the i4).

Best mods are definitely:
- P2R Ported Intake Runners w/ IM Thermal Gasket
- Unorthodox Racing Underdrive Crank Pulley
- Throttle Body Spacer w/ Gaskets
- Exhaust mods

If anyone has questions on this stuff let us know, we know this platform better than just about anyone

Also, highly recommend coilovers! We are here for you 2nd gen TSX!!

 

Most parts for the accord V6 will fit, with slight modification but i don't want to have to pay for a part that is not specific to my car and then have to modify it. I don't have my mothers old civic that was handed down to me. I have a 38,000 Acura TSX V6 with Tech package. I can afford it but the parts that i desire aren't available that's why I started this thread to get the word out so if anyone has more news about TSX V6 parts post them up HERE!

 

I like the rear spoiler and the sway bars on that the TSX V6 test mule.

 

you are correct, hate it when i post about a certain thing and than others compare it to something i am not even asking about. its not about that its about this!

 

I think almost everything in this thread is compared appropriately. It is the same 3.5l engine in the accord that is in the tsx. For instance the Takeda SRI for the accord was an exact match for my tsx. I just did not need one piece of extension tubing. NO modifications were performed to do this. There are some parts that I agree you should not try to put on your car, like parts for a 4cyl if you have a v6. Just not smart. If you wanted it to be extremely specific to the V6 TSX that should have been stated. Sorry for the thread jack here.

 

If I wanted and Accord v6 I would of bought one. I do understand that they have many similarities but there not the same vehicle and actually my sister has an 08' Accord v6 with tech and it's truly not the same car. The TSX feels like a Family sport car and in the Accord is like driving a sofa with four tires and and engine. My friend there's a huge difftance.

 

I love lamp....

 

Sorry for my sarcastic remarks. I tend to not want to reply seriously to argumentative conversations. But, there are a lot of differences between the two. And in no way am I nor anyone else saying that you dont have the money to purchase the parts or an Accord to purchase the parts. Just chiming in on the thread stating that these parts will work for the V6. But you are correct on the fact that there are differences. The Accord runs on a 3.5L v6 j style engine which the TSX does as well, thats why most of those parts are comparable. but the wheelbase on an accord is approx 110 in where a tsx is 106. The length is longer by aprox 9 in on the accord, width is almost the same, and the height is taller. Maybe that is why the accord is more like driving a couch on wheels. Some people would probably love to put their couch on wheels and ride around....me I enjoy driving my tsx with couch modified parts.
