Ok, with all of these claims of 300whp on the TL in N/A form, have anyone proves/ed it yet? I have been waiting the result from the other thread for months.

^^ That I can't help you with. But yes, it'd be nice to at least see 1 dyno of aforementioned claims of 300whp. However, numbers aren't everything. I'd rather see a 13.5 @104-105mph pass than a 300hp dyno.

There is no dyno saying 300whp or time slip either. Can he do it, maybe, but anyone can claim anything on the net & dyno runs have been promised a long time back & notforthcoming. A vid of the dyno run would be great & I would be the first to say well done.

We are only talking about $75 which is chump change based on the claimed mods & I for one when modifying anything make a base line & follow-ups to insure I am going the right way with any changes I make.

When you start talking drag radials that is a game changer because the 335i is traction limited on the stock tires, Try finding a stock one with street slicks & get the numbers.

Its interesting it always gets back to a modified TL against a stock 335i when for less then $500 for a JB4 you can boost a 335i to a base of 365whp with no bolts ons & dip into the 12's

Agreed in terms of dyno numbers.

We all know, being FWD, that it's much harder to come across sub 2.1 60' times unless on DRs. I'm 95% sure I've seen 335s on stock tires pull sub 2.0 60'. I'm not here to argue who has the potential to launch better or get the better 1/4 ET, the answer is clear. All the OP is saying and with this I concur, is that from a roll, the 6MT TL is no slouch.

Like I said in my post, once you mod the 335i it's no contest. The comparisons are always going to be between a "modded" TL and a "stock" 335i because the BMW is a good bit faster in stock form. For a SOHC V6, the TL pulls very nicely considering what it's up against.

The BMW is in a different league performance wise as a whole, especially when modded. But, a bolt on TL 6MT can prove to be quite impressive from a roll against a stock 335i. That's all.

The 335i is a quick car, but it is by no means a 'modded TL 6 speed killer' in stock form. I've ran a 335i from a dig (auto) and he got the hit/launch and stayed about 1-1.5 cars ahead of me until 100mph. No one pulled at all. It's not that hard to believe considering they consistently trap 100-102 in the 1/4. There are a few that trap higher, but conditions will apply.

It seems the 335i was 6MT in this case. I believe the 6MT are geared more aggressively in terms of a roll race, so it would put up a better fight vs the AT. The TL-s seems to have the power advantage here being at 300whp compared to most 335s at ~270-275whp, and is also ~150lbs lighter than stock, putting him at the weight of a base TL. However, the 335 has the torque advantage. The TL's shorter gearing should prove advantageous, but at the same time, the 335s torque should outweigh it despite the longer gears. Point is, it should really be a drivers race.

There is a video of a Stage 2 MK6 GTI 6MT pulling on a 335i 6MT from a roll by 1 car. Obviously 1 run isn't conclusive evidence, but it's something to base off of at least. I ran a Stage 2 MK5 GTI DSG on 100oct tune/meth about 4 times. He would consistently pull ~1-1.5 cars from a 40 roll to ~85, whereas I would come back in 4th and pull decently after 100. Point being, since the run with the 335 clearly went past 115-120, I could imagine the fully bolted 6MT Type S to creep ever so slightly. Obviously after modding the 335 it would be no contest.

The GT we can all agree was either in the wrong gear to start, thought the TL was going to be slower, or just really needed a different driver behind the wheel. The GT traps upwards of 110mph in stock form, so there's no real challenge there unless the TL were boosted.

There was a base TL 6 speed on this site that ran a 13.3 @103.x with bolt ons/tires untuned. Everyone seems to forget about that. Obviously it was only 1 person, but it's also the only person I've seen to run a drag radial on the TL. Hence, the only one with times like that. A 103 trap is pretty good for bolt ons as well, and I'm pretty sure he replicated the results.
Sonnick, why even bother. These threads always unfold the same. Someone posts something up like this that is hardly far fetched, non TL owners come out of the woodwork and shit all over the guy because they don't think a car that traps 2-3 mph slower in stock form, but is modded, could ever pull the faster stock car from a roll. Then they go off on a tangent about how the faster stock car would be way faster if it was modded with nitrous, re-flashes, rocket boosters etc, which is pretty much already known. It just goes around and around.


For the record, I highly doubt OP's car would make 300 SAE whp on a Dynojet. Never did get the details on dyno brand etc. I think people get a little carried away with what these cars gain from mods, but being that stock is ~250, I could see 275-280, and once the ecu is in, he'll be higher.

As far as I know he does not have an LSD or street slicks & has been running stock exhaust/intake in some testing.

Have not seen much posted but are there any stock TL dyno sheets available? Never did mine.

While I enjoy reading these kill stories and 1/4mile passes but I hate seeing claims that never have any proof.

Justin (justnspace) had a dyno comparing his 6MT TL with I/PCDs to a stock 6MT TL. The gains were very nice across the entire powerband. I forget which thread the comparison is in though

There are plenty of dyno plots in the Group Buy ECU thread though. Results are as follows:

I/Jpipe/E - Stock ECU - 224/211
I/Jpipe/E - JnR ECU - 245/225
I/Jpipe/E/PCDs - JnR - 271/242

So by adding PCDs/JnR ECU, there was a 47whp/31wtq gain. That's insane. Not only peak numbers, but the gain throughout the powerband was substantial. 30whp/tq in some areas. Average increase across the whole range I'd say is 20+. The "dip" at 4k when the butterflies open up and VTEC were both smoothed out as well when VTEC was moved slightly higher (5K). This lead to an increased midrange and a TABLE TOP flat torque curve.

did some one mention my name?





I did purchase the ECU.
I'm expecting to be at about 260hp with just ECU, PCDs, and Jpipe.
will dyno.

^ I knew you'd chime in. 4 minutes later phew you don't waste any time

My mistake, I thought you had I/PCDs for whatever reason. Now that I think about it though I can remember you having the V3 Jpipe. So you are still running the stock intake? Did you at least delete the resonator in there?

running stock intake.
no, did not remove resonator.

i thought it was proved that the stock air filter out flows the throttle body at WOT.
later down the road, I might mimic the CT-E Icebox intake.
Velocity stack at bottom opening of bumper with straight pipe leading to the factory airbox location.

*edit - might as well list out all my plans.
thinking of swapping the 3.5 type-s heads over.
while porting and polishing the intake mani and its runners.

then a catback.

should be around 300hp. dont know if i'll hit that magic number tho.

You're butt-hurt because your stupid comment about reading comprehension backfired and blew up in your face. Boom b1tch.

Look, you're an idiot and a little slow to catch on, I'll leave it at that.

1'st, the issue is that there are a lot of people who are delusional about how fast their car is, whether that's TL drivers, G37 drivers, Civic Si's, 370z's, etc. So, the problem isn't those who step in with a reality check, it's those who still have their heads up in the clouds.

2'nd, the TL may trap within 2 of the stock Neon, but it is closer to 5-6 on the 335, and 10-11 for the 5.0. You're reaching when you grab the highest stock TL-s trap you can find vs the lowest you can find for others (and you seem to shave another 1-2mph for good measure).

Why does Drag Times keep coming up? It's less realiable than Wikipedia.

The trap and ET tell you whether a car was quick off of the line and out of steam at the end of the quarter, or if it's going to run strong in the top end.

Two cars can run side by side, run the same et, but trap different speeds. The car with the higher trap is stronger up top and would have the advantage in a highway roll, but you wouldn't know that without also knowing the et.

And, just for the record, I believe the 5.0, even if it were in 3'rd @ 50mph, would have no problem pulling in this situation.

I was curious about something. 150lbs. is a lot of weight to drop. OP, what did you remove to arrive at that number. Most people pull out the spare, remove the owners manual, and claim serious weight reduction. I'm assuming that's not the case here.

Justin,

Was one of the cars pure stock? Both torque curves are nice & flat

Emmanuel is the stock TL 6MT.
he made 228hp while I made 241hp an hour apart from each other.

with the ECU, upping vtec to 5k will totally flatten out the torque curve.
as you can see now, the torque starts to dip or decline after 5k.

Quick thought on Drag Times. I use the BMW#'s because the posters are known & run against each other like Hotrod 182, Lostmarine, Shiv, Terry & a few others.

If they posted bogus numbers, since two of them produce competing products, they would get called out real fast. I would expect on other brands with high representation at the track the #'s would be good among known groups of guys, while there will always be posers in any brand..

I stand firm, yes a TL is good with light weight mods and bolt on's but not stock 335 good in a straight line roll on the highway. In my TL I roll raced e46 m3's, ms3's, evo's etc and the TL was always just slightly behind anything that was boosted from stock. In fact, that's why I bought my evo also about the dyno graph above... The smoothing is turned up to 5, when you change smoothing your output rating raises or lowers so if you were to put the smoothing down to 0 the numbers would read a little lower. In other words the numbers are inflated 3-5 whp. That being said here's a stock 335 dyno

with matching 5 smoothing and the only mod is dci (dual cone intakes)

Every dyno reads differently. Yes, the curve of the 335i obviously looks more beefy than the TL, as there is more power under the curve. I wouldn't be surprised if said TL-s put down more HP on that same dyno. With shorter gear ratios, it could make the race interesting, considering the taller gear of the BMW may offset the torque advantage. It's not like we're saying he pulled a JB3 335. It was bone stock. They are fast out of the box, but not rocket ships. And he said it took a whole lot of time to pull.

And Idk if your TL was AT, but if so, then you are comparing a different car. The 6MT is a much quicker car.

True, but you can get a good idea that the TL is not so strong in the first 60' due to being FWD and tough to launch on stock tires. With a good street tire, that may differ. They have relatively strong top end for a SOHC V6; on par with some DOHC 6s and the reason why we can hang on highway rolls. Please don't take misunderstand this and claim I'm saying we can 'hang' with 5.0s. I'm merely stating that for a 3500lb 6cyl, the car does well and impresses plenty.
Two cars can run side by side, run the same et, but trap different speeds. The car with the higher trap is stronger up top and would have the advantage in a highway roll, but you wouldn't know that without also knowing the et.
If 2 cars are side by side yet trap differently, the only respective difference would be the RT. And even in that case, one of the cars would end up pulling noticeably even if the traps were as low as 1-2mph different.
And, just for the record, I believe the 5.0, even if it were in 3'rd @ 50mph, would have no problem pulling in this situation.
I'd imagine until the TL shifted to 3rd (~62) it'd creep slightly. Once the TL went into 3rd I have no doubts the GT would pull easily 2 cars in 3rd gear alone, and probably another 3+ in 4th.
Let's not also forget that in a street race, almost anything can happen. I ran a Charger SRT8 from a dig to ~100 and was ahead until mid 3rd. He spun at the line for about 2 seconds, giving me about a 1.5 car lead. As soon as I shifted to 3rd he went from my bumper to 1 car ahead and it stayed that way until 100. Do I think I can hang with an SRT8? No. I'd run one anyway to see how I compared, but in no way do I think I would hang within a car or 2.

Maybe the TL hit it first against the 5.0? And he was in the wrong gear? You never know. We all assume that both gas pedals depressed simultaneously and that each driver shifted with precision accuracy at the perfect RPM each time. This is rarely the case in any race, let alone a 3 honker on the interstate.

^That's why I said that there are too many variables to believe this bogus story with no proof.

All my cars are manual including the TL that I had, we don't do auto's in my family lol.

Also, JB is up to level 4 now and I was trying to explain to you that all dyno's read differently which further debunks this theory.

So once again, there is no v6 that is hanging with an i6 twin turbo not even if his TL was modded except for having a turbo or a supercharger.

Are you talking about modded? I've already hung right next to 2 335s; both i not xi and neither convertibles. There are all motor RSXs in the 12s @112+, Maximas in the 12s, and modded TLs at least running well lol. To make a claim such as you have, that no all motor v6 is touching a 335 is ridiculous.

I understand the 335 performs much better and is in a different class. But, a modded TL 6 speed will keep up with a stock 335i if driven properly.

The key is that you understand that it was a mistake by the other driver & not that the Honda has suddenly grown a major set of muscles & is competitive all up with a 12/13 second car.

But there are any number lot of people on the forum who hear what they want to hear & only hear the “I ran a Charger SRT8 from a dig to ~100 and was ahead until mid 3rd” part & choose to believe they also have a competitive car to one that runs 12/13.

It’s the halo effect. The way the story gets repeated is, my buddy from the Acura forum has a bolt on Honda V6 6MT & it can hang with an SR8 up to 3rd gear.

I meant no v6 with just bolt on's is hanging with a stock i6 tt, the rsx's and maximas etc have injectors, head work you name it to run hard like that. Na can run hard but not with just bolt on's and light weight mods like the op.

YIKES That is something that I guarentee you should not have said... Ill give you the benefit of the doubt and say you were talking about the TL and the 335i coupe. But still I am POSITIVE a 6mt tls with full boltons PnP IM and heads and ECU could take a 335i and put multiple legnths on it. My car the way it stands keeps up with a 335i vert until 4th gear and I dont even have a legit catback. I think if I do the above mods my auto could hang or put a length on a 335i coupe. And thats before I even get into cams...all N/A

edit: I didnt see your last post..but a TLS6 could keepup with a 35icoupe with fullboltons

Like I said, BOLT On's. Cam's arent a bolt on, and there arent even headers for the TL. How about the next time I post a thread about a track day event that I'm attending.... SOMEONE ON THIS FORUM RESPOND TO IT, lol I go to the track at least 5 times during the season and post on here when I'm going and no one responds to actually see what THEIR TL can do everyone just want's to speculate. Let's get the op or any TL owner with similar mods pertaining to this discussion and I'll get one of my 335 or 135 buddies and let's hit the track together one day during the summer, you can do some roll runs on the way there and what not. Here's an example of my last outing.

https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-2004-2008-93/my-evo-10-vs-9-135-vs-gto-839945/

Let's just see some proof, like I said bolt on TL's are good but I don't believe it will overtake the cars stated that's all no biggie.

You list a lot of performance items added to your car, what is your best time/mph?

The problem with all the speculation is its speculation. I just hit the last few pages of the sticky above & came up with numbers that would suggest a bolted TL might not be all that competitive with a car that typically never drops out of the 13's without a driver error.

2003 Accord Ex V6 Coupe 5AT
-3270LBS at SIR- 14.666@97.17 I/E - Corrected!
Injen CAI/Magnaflow CB/Unorthodox Racing Crank Pulley/Richies RV6 V3 J-Pipe/Innovative 60A Street Mounts(Black) Neuspeed Strut Bar, 06 TL 6MT 27.2mm Front Hollow Sway Bar/08 TL-S 6MT 20mm Solid Rear Sway Bar, Amsoil Synthetic ATF, Mobil 1 Synthetic 5W30

Don't forget my 14.04 @99.71 with intake/Jpipe

Type-S 09 (13.9 @99.9) had a UR pulley as well.

Reese has the N/A time/trap to beat thus far. 13.61 @104 with just bolt ons/porting/untuned.

There have been some good numbers here and there. A base 6MT 3G, intake only, at 13.90 @ 99+, another base 6MT with just intake/catback/DR's at 14.08 @ 100+, a bone stock Type-S 6MT at 14.07 @ 99+.

Best run below

R/T: .080
60': 2.162
330: 6.122
1/8: 9.388
MPH: 75.07
1000: 12.177

First and best: 14.43 @ 98.04 on a 2.24 sixty foot. (Odd to get your best 60 right off the bat) The rest were a bunch of 14.50's and 60's all at 98.xx, with one 97.82.
MPH ... 100.46

60' ... 2.335
330 ... 6.187
1/8 ... 9.273

1000 ... 11.901
1/4 ... 14.128
MPH ... 101.17

60' ... 2.261
330 ... 6.316
1/8 ... 9.503
MPH ... 77.64
1000 ... 12.179
1/4 ... 14.430
MPH ... 100.19

BTW one common thread here is most of the cars have used up 9 seconds in the first 1/8 mile running in the 70/80 mph range. Its real hard for a small displacement N/A motor at that speed to finish out in just 5 more seconds.

Aznbenz I'd be happy to run any of your buddies stock 335s. I'm on Long Island. I should be getting my trans mount fixed very shortly. I'm untuned btw. 135s are apparently a bit quicker, but I'd still run them. Are any of them 6MT?

Btw, I've been to the track numerous times. But I've never gone with a good set of tires and have since been disappointed each time because of it lol.

All the bench racing going on in here is strong! lmao

I wouldn't go as far as to say that a NA motor can't beat a FI motor stock for stock, seen it done alot.

not so sure on that modded TL's not being able to beat a 335 in stock form...cuz there are many variables like is 335i or 335xi? is it coupe or is it vert? is it coupe or is it sedan and or xi or just i.....is it n54 or n55? is it 6mt or is it 6at?

I'm still trying to run my buddies 335i (stock) this spring I hope...and if that happens I will post videos!! but yeah N.Y. not too far from me so if I get enough heads up time I can plan for an Etown trip....And AZNbenz07 if you have a STOCK 335 to run with me on the highway then I would be down....as far as from a dig we already know the outcome no need to mention that hence why the 335 shoots down the 1/4 mile in the times that it does, but on the highway it is a different story and that is where the TL's really shine when they are modded!!!

I used to think like that no chance a TL-S would keep up with a boosted 335i but driving them and seeing how they pull on the highway it would be a very good race!!

I have ran a 335xi 6at coupe and the result would make me say I'm Bullshitting but hey I have always said if you want to put a TL-S to the test and you are around new england area feel free to pm me and we can go do some runs!!!

I will be first to post I got spanked by such and such car it really don't matter!! A win is a win and a loss is a loss it is what it is at the end of the day and I can see first hand what my personal car does against whatever car I ran!! Just my 2cents

JoTech is crazy with his builds, you could ask him to give us some us some aftermarket parts. When I still had my 06+ SI, he built the fastest all motor SI, I was thrilled. Guy knows his stuff.

WTF does this mean???

There is nothing magical about forced induction (superchargers and turbochargers).

This is how it works: more air = more fuel = more power

Important variables/considerations are:

- Displacement (higher displacement = higher air rate = more power)
- IAT (lower IAT = more air = more power)
- Manifold Pressure (more pressure = more air = more power)
- Volumetric Efficiency (more efficient = more air = more power)
- RPM (higher RPM = more air = more power)

There are way too many variables (and I'm not even talking about transmission, weight, etc.) for your blanket statement to hold any merit (as in zero merit).

Why do people feel the need to discuss things that they know nothing about
