can wait to hear about the final out come keep us posted

 

ok, first of all, you are trying to get this running with emanage blue??

if so, you can kiss longevity/reliablity goodbye with that type of EMS. at LEAST go with emanage ultimate.

second, u can boost the stock motor reliably if u TUNED right. doesnt matter how much psi you push, its about how much HP you make on a stock motor. RSX's have taken the stock K-engines past 500whp reliably and safetly on c16. (@ 33psi via GT35R), stock CRV k24 engines have lasted past 600whp. surely the stock 3.2L will be able to handle 300-400whp easily IF AND ONLY IF TUNED good.

this is where the trouble is, there's no solid EMS for the TL that i know of. Hondata is not making anything similar to their Kpro system for the TL.

i've only read the 1st page of this thread but already see some things with your plan that may cause issues in the future: emanage (blue).

GL with the build.

I believe the RL cams were a little longer and either way the TL-S cams are $100 cheaper each and share the same high lift and duration and the non type S. Although the new ones are hollow so thats a plus.

Be careful though you dont want to much duration on a car meant for forced induction.

 

I am not using the E-manage blue. I am using the E-manage ultimate. Right now I am working with another person that has a turbocharged 7th gen Accord on tuning Tuning the e-manage ultimate. The 7th geb Accord crowd , both supecharged and turbocharged, seems to be having good results with the E-manage ultimate. We will see how it goes.

 

great! emanage ultimate is pretty damn solid if tuned right. 100x better than the blue POS.

GL!!

 

MY shop just told me that they started the car and everything seems to be running smooth. Still have some minor stuff to take care of such as some wiring and the tranny cooler.

Will update as soon as I get to drive my car when I get back in town in a week. I am excitied! This is gonna be a really Happy New Year!

 

Right on man, that sounds awsome! Keep us updated

 

Dam can't wait to check it out in person during our meet soon.

 

Hey ed99 and Lookinco let me know when the next BC meet is... I'd like to meet up with you guys again and also check out your car, lookinco. hopefully you've had tried out the SplitSec device.

 

Hey Andrew,

How's it going there buddy? Would be awesome to have 2 S/C TL in one meet.

Check out the Meet thread Andrew.

crap, i moved from bc to toronto just in time to miss all the cool shit lol

 

Any updates?

 

that was back in november, lol im just joking man, im sure its working out just fine, good luck, cant wait to hear/see it running.

 

I just got back in town an hour ago. Gonna go check up on the car later in the day. We had some problem with the torque converter rebuilt by Dr.Evil. I will update tonight.

 

i hope you saw my thread. sorry if i mislead you in any way. i hope you still have your stock converter.

 

I do still have my stock torque converter because I bought a brand new one for Dr.Evil to rebuild. We are giving it one more try and hope it will work out this time.

 

take a close look at it. my shop said the torque converter they sent me looks terrible. just a friendly warning.

 

I did check it out when I recevied it. It looks exactly like a brand new one except that it's painted red. We will see how it turns out.

 

Okay, I just came back from the shop and I am not happy. The good part is the engine started smoothly and is running good. The bad news is, the car is NOT moving. The car just won't move whether I shift it to Reverse or Drive. There are no vibration or noise what so ever.

We believe the problem is that the transmission fluid is not going into the torque converter. We filled 1 Liter of transmission fluid and the dipsticks shows that we have too much transmission fluid. We started the engine and went through all the gears which should allow the fluids to go into the torque converter but it didn't help. We already took apart everything once to double check everything so it should not be installer error.

Please note that this is a custom torque converter rebuilt by Dr.Evil. We don't know if this problem is caused by the custom torque converter. On monday we are going to put the stock torque converter back in to see if it fix the problem.

Does anyone have any idea what's going on or any ideas on how to solve the problem?

 

Props man. I was very pleased when I did my frankenstein swap in my 1st gen. 3.5L 6speed LSD tranny with a 125 shot, 10.8:1 CR and fully stripped (just bare metal on wheels, even took the moonroof out).

I was waiting for someone to do it into their TL.

 

What modification does Dr. Evil do to the converter? Is this an LSD or something? I've seen LSD's done on Mercedes before by a number of after marketers but don't recall seeing any threads on LSD's in the TL world. Is there even enough power to justify it? Who is Dr. Evil? Is that an actual marketing name or an infamous moniker affix due to problems you guys appear to be having with him/them? Not that I could afford the LSD but if there is a formal specific thread, could someone post the link to it?

 

wow...thats F'in crazy.....
nice work man

 

The modification from Dr.EVil includes a higher stall speed and a stronger lock up clutch.

Dr.Evil is the name of a transmission company. You can try researching about them as a few members, especailly the older TL and CL, have order from them before.

 

dr evil = teh suxor. nice work though, cant wait to see it up and running!

 

if you wanted high-stall, IPT and Protorque are the leading ones in the industry. i'm currently running an IPT high stall on my auto rsx. also, did the full race overhaul trans build. absolutely love it!

but with your problem, check the shift linkages and adjustment first before blaming the TC.

 

check these

 

Just wanted to see how this was going. Have not seen an update in a while, and wanted to see if there was a resolution to the torque convertor issue. (alleged TC issue:-)

 

The new tranny will arrive this friday and we will start working on the car as soon as the tranny arrives. If everything is good the car will be up and running next week.

 

any new pics?

 

Turns out the tranny didn't arrive this week, but I got some new wheels coming! Stay tuned!

 

This is a great setup, I figured that the V6 setups could be franked like the K series can. I do have a couple of questions though...
Lookinco: you listed the parts that you are using,
1. Can you list the years and engine codes as well please?
This will make it easier for me to do some research. I know that there are some differences between the US and Canadian K series engines, engine codes vary as well as some of the internals...
2. As far as the TL tranny compatibility, I gather from the info present you are using the new one. Can you take a pic of it where it mates to the engine?
I am looking for info on the compatibility of the new TL tranny and the RDX engine.
3. Does anyone know of any good websites that have a list of the TL engine codes with a spec sheet, measurements and so forth. Trying to learn more about these non-K series engines...

Thank's for the info regarding your build, cant wait to see it running

the anticipation of this is killing me...

 

lol.......it's killing me TOO.

 

I just called and they were FINALLY able to provide me with a tracking number. Scheduled delievery is on Feb 6th which is next Tuesday. Hopfully it will be here on time so I could finish up the project!

 

So, lookinco, what have you been driving this whole time?

 

um, updates???

 

Yep........engine is out again. New tranny arrived. A day or two and if everything is working the way they are supposed to, the TL will be running.

 

Good Luck!

 

I'm excited
