Type S vs Base 6mt

Type S vs Base 6mt
Hey guys I had a real quick question. Kinds complex but simple. I've been waiting to find a tl-s j35a8 and 6mt to swap into my Accord, and I found a good deal on a tl base 6mt and j32a3. Is there a difference between the type s transmission and the base transmission? Both 6mt lsd of course. I've heard the type s can hold more power but am recently hearing otherwise. Also, what would need to be done to get the j32a3 basically "converted" to a j35a8?

As far as transmission- who cares? Why do you want the type s version over the base version? The base version is plenty strong. I'm not sure what the differences are, but if you're doing it simply to say "I have a type s", it's not worth it.

Oh yes, this is true also.
Either way...

Yeah I wanted to know of it can hold more power. I don't want to get my build finished just to need a new tranny (gonna be turbo). So you think it's more cost effective to just buy the j35?

Guys have had better luck boosting the j32 in the long run. It might be worth sticking with that.
Plus, a j32 is a dime a dozen.

Anyone have any links to these threads? And how much would it cost to get the cylinders bored out to a 3.6l?

If you wanted a 500 WHP beast then the TL is not a right platform, crab boy will shed light into this. TL platform is good around 300-350 whp IMO.

500hp to the front wheels is good for a lot of tire spinning. At that power level, you should really be looking at AWD or RWD.

Gerzand isn't your run of the mill car guy, though. What he did/has took a shit ton of time and effort and money.

<p>^Exactly. Love his build, kudos, the man's a genius. But that much power on this platform doesn't make much sense to me. </p><p>At that point it's more of a "I can and will do this" not really a "should I".</p>

Being FWD with 500-600 WHP you will get alot of tire spin. I would rather have a 2JZGE with 500 WHP than a J35A8.
#31
I'm still trying to figure out if the type s tranny can hold more power than the 3.2 tranny. What benefit does the j35a8 have over the j32a3 if both will be built & boosted? I read that the j35 has better cooling or something. Will be going with j32a2 heads.

Guys have boosted both the j32 and j35 attached to the factory 6MT without issue. Although, very few have crossed the 450hp mark. You're going into unmarked territory for the most part. It's been done by a few members, but they had no blue print to go off of and spent a lot of money, time and effort, and planned like crazy.
I think you might be biting off more than you can chew with your goal of 500+ hp. I don't mean to be an ass by any means, but if you're wondering about some of this simpler stuff, I think you might have a difficult and costly road ahead of you. You sure you don't want to consider a different, more suitable, more tried and tested platform, as opposed to forging ahead with this one?
Either way, if you do stick with this, I wish you the best of luck!!
