nice job on the car. saw the vids on you-tube. props

 

haha you sound like me with the evil laughs! I wonder what you've got planned for the TL...

 

So will I see you at the ALL CALI meet on the 30th of June? I already got the time off work so it's def that I'm coming.

 

nice to finally see some pics and video....and it was totally worth the wait.
Awesome stuff man. Can't imagine what you might have in the works but this is badass already so anything else most likely deserves an evil laugh

 

One man powered TL!

LMAO!

 

what exactly is a j-pipe, where does it go

 

i believe the J pipe is that ugly piece of exhaust where the 2 headers connect before going to the back of the car....acura really cut back on the quality of that. Im not sure if thats it I could be wrong

 

so is e-shift is making a replacement for the whole 'A' piping, or just that little bend?

 

We ever gonna see some Dyno numbers on that thing?

Let's see what 3.5L of Forced Induction love can do...

 

I contacted the only place in town and they pretty much ignored me..LOL..but I already made an appointment for fuel tuning but it's on July 10th (they are fullly booked until then)

 

this is one sick ass mofo car!! this thing is a monster..
saw it at the meet the other night and on the cruise...
OMG..I am inlove..car looks and sounds sweet...and another note...

it's hella FAST!!!!!

 

lookinco,
first I saw your impressive work done on your odyssey and I was amazed how nice it turned out with all the audio set up.
Now reading this, your TL must be one of the fastest in BC!!

 

I finally got an appointment to dyno my car next friday. Will post results as soon as I get them. Hope I won't be disappointed.

 

Quick question... do you know if the 3rd gen TL-S heads would fit the J32A2 block?

 

it wouldnt line up bc the crank/cam length are slightly different. not sure if you followed thinjim's motor build, but remember he had a wasted crank bc it was too short? the crank/cams are shorter than our cl-s crank and cams.

 

Someone was selling their aftermarket J-pipe with 3rd cat delete on the black market, check it out!

 

Nice, is Wayne still tuning it for you?

 

hey....

i spotted you getting out of your car on robson yesterday.
i was drooling over your car and so was my gf lol.

i would have shouted at you...but i didnt get your name when i met you lol.

anymore videos of you against my buddies rsx?!!?

 

Yes Wayne is tuning it for me but I have to wait till July 10th. In the mean time I am getting a dyno done just to see what numbers I am getting right now and to make sure the AF is right.

 

great job on all the success, cant wait to see the dyno.

 

If it is an M62 charger, is there any way to use an M90 and adapt that to the system on the tl?

Are all the internals you used forged as are the stock ones? At least i have read in a few places that the stock rods/crank are forged. It would be a shame to find out they arent any good.

It does suck seeing the "manifold" castings in the cylinder head with the motor out of the car. Makes me wonder how much more power could be there if we could get a cylinder head out "header" with good size primaries and such.

Nice build up, sucks to hear all the problems you have had with the build, but nice to see all working at the end.

Good luck, im looking forward to the results

Take care
Mark

 

The biggest problem about fitting the M90 would be space.

For internals I have stock right now. I believe the Rods and Cranks are forged, but I could be wrong. However there are a number of people running stock internals and are running 400+whp daily. If I do blow my engine, then stronger parts will come. (Not looking forward to that)

Here is a small update to my car. Got some new parts, guess what it is!

 

 

Hey, I can finally see pics of your car! It looks awesome!!!

 

i think the front plate should go...sexy car btw

 

This is totally Bad Ass!

 

love your car bro.

 

Damn good photograghy skills. The environment is fanatasic for creating the dramatically effect. Sorta reminds me of "Mad Max".

 

Rear BBK?

Your ride looks sharp....

 

I say again, nice job with your car and great pics.

I am anxiously awaiting your dyno and anticipate much over the result.

 

Nice job man... extremely impressive --

what do you think your car is worth at this point? Or, I guess I should ask (If you're willing to share) how much have you invested in this car total?

 

Are you going to the ALL CALI meet on the 30th of June? My car is up and running again, and I just took a week and a half off for this meet and a track event out there.

 

lookinco: I saw that you were running 17x8.5f & 17x9r, but I gotta know what offsets & tire sizes/brand/model your using. 17" rims look much nicer than I expected, but those fat tires really set them off.

Also: What happened to the black/red versions?

Sorry if this stuff has been covered already...

 

I am running 17x8.5 and 17x9. Offset is +35 front and +45 rear. I actaully have a pair of 17x8.5 +35mm offset for sale right now. They are pretty much brand new. PM me if you are interested.

 

THE TIRES MAN! You forgot the tires (and do they rub occasionally)...

I seriously just fell in love with 17" rims all over again. I'm not a super big fan of the RFP1, but the setup & sizing looks amazing...

 

Go to the website on his pics, esodraggers.com...click on the link for Clement's TL...the fronts are Advan 032R's (245/40) and the rears are Advan 048's (235/45), if I remember correctly.

I can see how the specs on the fronts would yield that look, but I am puzzled how the specs on the rears have the same look...it doesn't seem right.

 

According to those sizes, the side-wall of the rear tire is about 3/8" thicker than the fronts. I really like the 245/40s in the front, but the speedometer will be off by 3% (same as my Civic) and also require an extra 3/8" lowering to attain the same fender gap.

This also has a small effect on the ABS/TCS system, especially when the tire diameters don't match front & rear. The computer detects different wheel speeds front & rear, and can possibly activate the systems prematurely in the event they are needed. Of course the system might be smart enough to slightly compensate since front & rear tires don't exactly wear at the same rate on a normal car, but 3% is a lot to expect...

You can also tell that rear sidewalls have less bulge than the fronts. This should be around 11mm less bulge on each side of the rim in the rear so that makes sense...

 

new gauges?

 

updates??

 

Yeah, man, you're two weeks late on results.

I swear, I've been hitting this thread at least a few times a day hoping to see dyno results.
