HondaPilot08

So I’m trying to find more info on the j35z1 because I can’t seem to find any. I have a 08 pilot with this engine and I want to build it but I don’t know of any compatible parts (like if the j32a heads will work), I personally don’t like the mono exhaust port my engine has. Also when I look for parts like cams they never state that they will work for the j35z. Any info will be greatly appreciated.

J35A7 They differ only in the length of the connecting rod, which is why the compression ratio is different (10 instead 10.5 absolutely not critical) and in the new revision (09-10), the oil pump is different without the crankshaft sensor(This is not a problem at all, you just need to switch the pump).

Thank you! That helps a lot. I didn’t want to spend any money and find out after that it was a waste so I needed answers first

If you find a suitable replacement, then let me know, because there is a lot of junk like JDM on the Internet where they sell J30 W/O VCM to replace J35A6, but at the same time indicate that it is J35A7, but J35A7 only with VCM.

There are a few sites that sell a VCM delete. I have never tried any but I was going to try

No problem, it's your choice, do what you want.
