How you doing acurazine question i want to swap a new motor to my 05 TL .... what i want to know is can i use any motor from 04-08 or do i have to get the exact same one ... thank you very much.....

 

pleeeaseee helllllpppppppppppppp..........

 

Used parts guide, '04-'06 only and to verify:
Acura OEM parts general engine assembly
10002-RDA-305 ($2953 list) '04-'06

 

put in the 08 TL type S motor. more power and plug and play

 

Agree

OP IMO since you have a 05; I would just get another 05 engine.

 

yes i do understand for more power but what im saying will any engine do or do i have to get the same j series as my 05 or can i put on a type s ?????

 

??????????????

 

04-06 will be plug n play anything else will not be

 

Ok someone correct me if I am wrong, but I dont think you can use a 07-08 engine due to the fact that they use a different ECU than the 04-06.

You can use engine parts from the Type-S.

Just stick to the 04-06, but even better just the 05 since yours is a 05.

Honda has a tendency of change small things around from year to year.

 

^ the 07/08s do have a different ECU-The whole thing is prop way more trouble and costly than its worth.

 

I am interested in this as well. Other than the ECU, what are the engine differences in 07 08? Incredibly surprised how hard it is to find a straight answer. Bell housing bolt pattern different?

 

does anyone know where i can get a 2004-2008 full swap automatic non type s.....

 

?????????????????

 

^ A wrecking yard? That would be my first guess.

LKQ sells everything and anything off wrecked cars and are reputable for correct mileage, vin, etc. If you get something that is you dont like, they will even exchange it. They will even deliver it to your shop or house(possibly) I know the business for sure. If your looking into a whole assembly you may want to get a tranny too depending on your mileage and what you can find. Since the 05' had bad transmission's

 

Op first you have to order the motor then looking for a trusted shop/mechanic for the full swap.
