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.....

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'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.

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.

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?

Do you have any video when you were installing it ?
