Fujita seeking TL-Type S for prototype

I emailed (contacted) Fujita (info@f5air.com). My question to them: "I recently purchased a 2007 Acura TL Type-S (3.5L) and am having a hard time locating any intake (systems/kits) for this vehicle, most likely because it is fairly new. Do you know how soon Fujita will be releasing a kit for this vehicle?"

Their response: "We are currently looking for a 07 TL to develop the intake on. If you are local to So. Cal we could use your car for prototyping and you will receive a free intake once the intake is completed."

Unfortunately, I'm in Albuquerque, and So Cal is a little far away to participate. Anyone in So Cal willing to let Fujita test on their car? Drop them an email to see if something can be arranged.


I also emailed Injen and Weapon-R. They have products that are currently being tested, and told me to be patient, and keep checking back.

Dude... I'm pretty sure it's well documented here that all 2004-2006 TL CAI's bolt right on to your 2007 TL-S... Most vendors have not done the research, but teh community here has done the testing for them...

Just search.

^^^ After all of the threads asking about TL-S parts, haven't you figured out that the TL-S guys think they're special and therefore need special parts? They can't use parts for a regular TL...how could you even suggest that?

I bet the companies come out with parts for the TL-S and charge $20+ more for them...then somebody does a simple side-by-side and shows that they're the same...that would be awesome.

Here's another fact: J32 + minor displacement change (shorter rods, or bigger bore) = J35. It's the same engine guys, just tweaked a bit. Nothing really special there.

And to build on that...the engine bay is the same (layout, part sizes, etc.), and the TB is the same.

Yeah I figured that out fairly quickly from reading through old threads that my type s is the same from 04 to the present (08)

aznjeep
Go to AEM is the cold air intake almost everyone has
Intake Part # 21-513B (For Blue)
Intake Part # 21-513P (For Polished)
Intake Part # 21-513R (For Red)
Intake Part # 21-513C (For Coated Silver)

APPLICATIONS
TL Base 2004-2006 3.2L V6 - J32A3
TL Base 2007 3.2L V6 - J32A3
TL Type-S 2007 3.5L V6 - J35A8


Am no expert on parts but I am pretty damn sure that this applies to all the other intakes
Fujita
Injen
K&N
Weapon-R
AEM

oh and the cheap ebay stuff lol

-_-; the companies still need to test fit the intake (unless they decide to make a new design for the '07) . I believe it is mainly to protect them from those sue happy consumers. For my '06 they(K&N) still needed to test fit the kit they made in '04 to make sure everything fits well. Think about it guys it is a liability issue. And who honestly cares? For the person who wants a FREE CAI from Injen, sacrifice your car for a few days and there ya go..save yourself $200 (or however much it costs)

J32=J35 (with parts....)
Midget=Giant (with parts...)
Eggroll=Spring roll (with parts...)
Toast=French Toast (with parts...)

The funny thing is I emailed them for the hell of it with just a regular TL. The guys wrote back and said they would want a regular 07 TL as well. Kinda strange I thought.

yes it does apply to the supercharger but then you'd need a standalone unit since it doesn't look like comptech is making one for a 3.5
