2004 acura tl AUTOMATIC: VS 2008 g35x

so my cousin just picked up a g35x 4 wheel drive and he wants to run my tl tonight. How fast are the g35x. All i know is they come with 306hp to the crank.

so 270hp vs 306. 4door to 4 door.

I might throw in a hidden 50 shot of nitrous just to run it

Video will be up shortly today or tomorrow.. BTW if u guys want to make a pool pot out of this, then u should

btw this is my 5th acura tl and i have to say, i love this one the best.. Just picked it up 3 weeks ago and already dropped it with rims and a custom j pipe made by me

John, the corrected SAE numbers for the 04-08 base TL's are 256hp at the crank not 270.
you're pushing 210hp to the front wheels.

you will get spanked.

from a dig, the G would walk away.

I can't see the vids. You beat the G when you only have a custom Jpipe? Lol. Don't go thinking you will walk every G35x now. He must be the Gilgo beach killer, and you caught him 'en route' to the dumping grounds. AWD or not, he should pull on you everytime. Unless you were on the 50 shot.

the G is much faster then the TL! The G will spank the shit out of this tl. I forgot to mention i put the bottle on it..

bottle low pressure.. I did a better race last night with full bottle pressure and 75 shot, but the recording sucks!! Ill get a better vid soon..

tl with j pipe and 75 shot will pull the g by 2 cars

Ah ok, now it makes sense. So if you didn't have a passenger you would've pulled another car at least. Not a bad run on the 75 shot.

What speed were these runs? 2-3 cars on the G35x would put you in G37s territory...

thanks for posting the races. It goes to show how fast the G35x really is when it takes nitrous on the TL just to barely hang with it!!

hmmm i should try that swoosh.. thanks for the 2 cent.

WIll let u know the outcome soon as i am done..

SO far i am really happy with the gains though.. Taken it doesnt cost me much vs paying 300 dollar for the others.

I was going to replicate the aftermarket j pipe but i figure i want to have my own design. heheh

something like this

On the other note! I just added a custom intake, change it to the new nx nitrous wet kit and a electrical exhaust cut out.. I have to say the car runs night and day better. I am now getting the intake manifo ported, hopefully it should help it a little

A neighbor of mine just picked up a C6 Vert. Armed with a new (higher paying) job, decent savings and low debt, the itch might get scratched soon.
