Hi i plan to buy 1 acura rlx and import it to my country, but since i have never seen such petrol car and model due to the fact that ACURA doesnt exist in BG.
Can someone tell me is Acura RLX 3.5 petrol for example year 2014-2015 pure petrol engine not hybrid is the engine direct injection or ?
I would also need engine code if possible, is this engine with combined injection of fuel for example lexus/toyota have simular engine 3.5 petrol but they use 2 times more injectors for example for v6 they use 12 injectors and make the car ultra complicate, since i will be far away from USA and Canada and i must wait a lot of time for parts i dont want Ultra complicated car such as hybrid or ultra complicated petrol car which no one understands please if someone is aware of the engine please tell me i want to know does the engine have only 6 engines or its like lexus/toyota with 12 and combined fuel injection...

I am asking because in europe we install in our cars LPG- gas so i am not sure if that model acura is suitable for lpg...

Toyota system is

Using Both Direct & Port Fuel Injection. so 12 injectors for v6 engine.

Welcome to AZ, @bladest !

The Acura RLX, which in the rest of the world is the 5th generation Honda Legend, both hybrid and non-hybrid, uses the Honda J35Y4 engine. The engine is direct injected only. The engine itself is unchanged from 2014-2020.

I hope this helps!

Great can you clarify does this engine uses 6 injectors , or its some complicated technology and its using 12 injectors for the whole engine like toyota/lexus engines same size 3.5 non hybrid and hybrid since i am not familiar with Acura engines...

@bladest it's one injector per cylinder, so 6 injectors.

Great thanks for that information.

This engine is not the best for LPG, since running on natural gas, valve clearance is very important. This engine do not hydraulic lifters.

Old Honda and Accuras are famous with that, thats why on every 20,000miles at maximum we check manually valve clearance and fix it manually. : honda/acura uses hydraulic lifters since the begining i think i use to own 2 old hondas and both of them are with lpg i also know a lot of people with lpg on newer hondas so its not a issue..

You cannot install LPG on this engine as it is VCM (variable cilinder managemet) which means that some of them are switching off during driving and come back on when pressing the pedal to the metal...
