How much hp do you actually gain?

 

Got my answer with the TB gasket PN(16176-RCA-A02), It's the same PN as my 04 TL, the so the ZDX TB wouldn't fit.....

 

I'm taking it to a dyno in 2 weeks. Then we'll know for sure

 

Huh. ..I figured the mdx would be bigger.

 

Also I'm using the 3.7 intake manifold off a 2009- 2013 tl wolks.

 

You need some port runners and port heads plus pcd/hfpc, jpipie, and exhaust then you are really going to start feel it pull

 

I know, but they are impossible To get on salvage market in Canada. They still sell the complet engine...... And there was and 07 mdx one for 125 with the cover!!!!!

 

Acuraoemparts.com won't ship to Canada? ??

 

Hey tommy, do you have any issues fitting the engine cover over the new IM?

 

No. .. it's a snug fit.

 

Any dyno plans?

 

Monday or Tuesday it's going.

Well today is the day to go on the dyno.. @ 2:30pm central time i have appointment wIth toyspeed motorsports. I'm excited.

 

in for results

 

Yep. I'm getting ready yup leave here in a bit. Gotta travel 45 mins. .. I live in a small town.

 

 

Here it is. At the wheels.

 

199.9 whp 175 ft lbs tq. Flat line torque tho. . Damn. It's would be 269.55 hp and 236.25 ft lbs tq

 

Numbers seem low, what kind of dyno was it? Stock J32A3 6MT should dyno about 230-ish.

 

Dyno dynamics.

 

I'm still surprised on how linear the tq is tho. And thru the entire rpm range there's no bumps in power or squiggly lines where I see in others.

 

How does the car feel? Those numbers are EXTREMELY low. But again, if there is no before dyno to compare it to the numbers are meaningless, tbh. Kudos for taking the time to go though.

 

try adding flashpro, ask the tuner what your afr was.

 

Damn!!!!! Efrain I was hoping your gains would be greater. Still keep it up bro!

 

Wait. .. how do you know my name. ...

 

It does feel better. It pulls harder. Especially at 2500 to 5500. My brother even says it does and he drives a 07 Honda s2000. We drag race all the time and we are even until about 130 then I start pulling away. But I haven't raced since I've done the swap. So I'm waiting for one day and we'll have a go at it and see the difference.

 

guys this is on a dynonamics dyno, its all wheel drive dyno that usually puts out really low numbers compared to lets say a dynojet. ive seen as much as 20% lower

 

Thank you for that. It is and it's tru. The guy said it is one of the hardest dyno to pull on.

 

Thats cause I know you from the Berg!!!!!! Let me know when you come by we can roll.

 

Wtf... an oregonian... I thought I was the only one on acurazine. Which juan are you?

 

Ok so. I got this from I-love-cars thread. I took a screen shot and work it out myself. So thanks allot guy.

 

is their a difference between just doing a 3.5 IM swap?
or is the 3.7 IM swap better?

It'd be going into an 04 TL with Straight piped (stock type s) exhaust, V3 J Pipe, V3 PCD's (both RV-6), with Injen CAI.

 

Difference from stock 3.2L is .3L


3.7 L difference is .5L

so the net difference is .2L

 

Okay, you're either messing with @navicolb, or I'm horribly confused. How does changing an Intake Manifold increase the displacement .2L?

 

lol, yeah I'm a little confused also. My original post was to acquire info on how much of a difference in HP would the 3.7 be over the 3.5 coming from a 3.2. But now I'm also interested in Thoiboi's logic hmmmmmm......

 

3.7> 3.5


How much HP difference would be the tipping point to consider the two IM's?

 

Anything over 1HP lol trying to feel that

 

^ Read I love cars thread on 3.7 mani, runners, and tb. Just google that and add acurazine.

 

Do you have any video when you were installing it ?
