You have to do both the cam gears and crank gear, planning on about 20d advance, which you then set a 20d retard in the FIC and reduce the retard to actually create a advance, ie you would reduce the retard 10d in a cell to create a 10d advance.

Is it not simply possible to advance by 10 degrees via the FIC? or is it limited to around 5?

Well after a lot of thought and along with the fact that I am a max dollar per HP guy... this is my plan. I am going to focus on a 3.7 MDX block. TL S heads, go a step or two in injector size and a few clicks higher in N20 jetting. Ill let the stock ECU do it thing. Seeing as it keeps the A/F at about 12.5 under WOT which is pretty close to where I would tune it anyway (off the bottle) This entire set up will cost far less than a 4500 blower kit and if I can pull it off I dont think there will be a TL S who has a chance in putting down more power to the ground. I have EVERYTHING to do this except a 3.7 block. I even have a extra TL S heads and block to experiment on. I may sell the block to fund the purchase of an MDX block but I really wanted to have a backup 3.5 block JIC. Just need to see it the heads will fit on the 3.7 block. Hey CSMEANCE... Can I borrow your truck for a day?!?!?!

^ um.. it may be a while to get it considering the car isnt even out yet, but what about the new TL SH-AWD Block?
It uses the same grade-logic tranny from the 07+ TL-S... so it should fit on the tranny? no ?
09+ RL
J37A2
Displacement: 3,664 cm3 (3.7 L)
Bore and stroke: 90.0 mm x 96.0 mm (3.54" x 3.78")
Compression: 11.2:1
Power; torque: 300 hp @ 6300 rpm; 271 lb. ft. @ 5000 rpm
Valvetrain: 24v SOHC VTEC
Fuel control: Multi-point fuel injection; PGM-FI
09 TL SH-AWD
J37A4
Displacement: 3,664 cm3 (3.7 L)
Bore and stroke: 90.0 mm x 96.0 mm (3.54" x 3.78")
Compression: 11.2:1
Power; torque: 305 hp @ 6300 rpm; 273 lb. ft. @ 5000 rpm
Valvetrain: 24v SOHC VTEC (intake and exhaust)
Fuel control: Multi-point fuel injection; PGM-FI
engines look similar.. but i can only assume the SH-AWD Ecu would cause massive amounts of problems considering our car is only FWD.... both cars come standard with SH-AWD.. as does the MDX (or does it? not sure)

the J37's out now are in the RL, TL and the MDX. Both come with SH-AWD standard.

I thought the single dual tip 4th genner was fwd, and double dual tip 4th genner was sh-awd
edit: the 3.5 is fwd, 3.7 is sh-awd lol

SH-AWD gets the quads
its a glorified type-s...however, the SH-AWD has 19 more ponies, BUT almost 400lbs heavier!!!! ...i hope to see a SH-AWD-S![Ninja](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/ninja.gif)
anyways back on topic... we're getting some good info in this thread!!!! lets keep talking about tuning the 3.5L

also, what about the blower that was on ebay a few months ago that looked like it mounted on top of the intake? if i remember correctly i think it said it would fit a 3.5 and the pulley was right there on top...just curious since this thread is actually going somewhere...

Yeah my bad. Got excited about the prospect of a 3.7 swap and got off topic. I really feel that tuning a N/A tl will yield minimal if any gains but may help a blown TL. would def go with the fic as it can retard timing, add fuel, and move vtec. All of these go nice with a blower. as far as blower and size.. howbout a high boost pulley to increase cfms on the 3.5? the additional boost may offset the additional volume and essentially give the same effect as a stock pulley on a 3.2. obviously more wear and tear on the unit but no more than some of the guys running the hb pulley are already doing.

so why isn't someone with the Type-S using the FIC????

^ so since you really seem to know your stuff
what unit should i be purchasing to start tuning my car N/A ?? FI/C ?
and will that also be the best unit for tuning once i get S/C'ed ? I really want to start all the work and part gathering on this.. so come springtime, i'm F/I'ed

With the extra airflow of the 3.5 or 3.7, the HBP might be needed just to make the same boost as the 3.2 but of course it will be flowing more air at the same boost pressure.

So if i go invest $ into an AEM FI/C and boomslang harness... will i get positive / worthwhile results? can i then use it to tune the S/C...
in order to clone what comptechs ACM does, i would need to adjust MAP, Air Fuel trim, lower vtech and i believe a knock sensor... although the knock sensor on the last page looked pretty cool to me

If you s/c, you will need to adjust the timing on it, so you would need some timing gears. If you do procede with the FI/C, you might want to look at having VTEC engage at early RPM's, like 3K so the aggressive cam setup works when boost is present.

^ wow nice spelling error on my part....totally missed that one ![Tomato](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/tomato.gif)
for s/c, do you advance or retard the timing? i really hope i can get positive results of the fi/c... seems to be the better choice, and i plan on getting some within a month.. to start my tuning
USSI... what are you planning to use for your tune once the new build is complete? still the comptech/hondata ??

yea CLS-6, hit a little bump in the road with it at the moment so put the FIC to the side for a minute to focus on getting my custom exhuast built so when I do get the FIC right I have better potential gains opposed to the stock exhaust.
#158
I wouldnt even bother with the FIC on N/A. Cars run so close to what you would wanna tune it to anyway. Itll be nice to have later once you get the blower set up should you need it. I would most likely budget for it but not pull the trigger till you get the rest of the gear on the car and see how it acts. Going up a size in injectors and fuel pump may be all you need to stay strong once you are boosted. The factory computer may be able to compensate. More air (blower) more fuel (injectors) may balance out nicely and if the computer can keep it around 13.1 A/F I think you may be ok. Just a thought.

Attention
For those building 3.5/3.7L's..........
Did anyone sleeve their block or hone it out to 90mm yet and use aftermarket pistons??
I am looking for a forged 90mm piston without having to custom order one just yet. I swear someone is running this bore?????
Ps- these blocks have forged internals and a 4bolt main, they can EASILY hold 400whp, pistons are the weak spot.
