Our team is getting ready to install some RV6 PCDs on our 2015 Acura TLX V6 project. Thanks so much for Rich and his entire RV6 team.

Rich has got to be one of my favorite vendors to have dealt with...always classy and cool. Glad he decided he wanted to get a head start on the aftermarket for the new gen.

Chan_Mike

Agree. Amazing craftsmanship also. We are so glad to have the opportunity to be a part of this.

Why there is plug on one of the cat's?
No oxygen sensor?

Chan_Mike

We transfered the AF/oxygen sensors.

OEM Pre-cat compared to RV6 PCD

Probably some weight savings there too, huh?

At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised if RV6 is currently building a full catback system for the TLX as well. Muffers coming soon right?!

Here is a base (Before RV6 PCDs) dyno chart from our good friend at STP Motorsport at Fort Lauderdale, FL on our 2015 TLX 2WD V6. This is a 5th gear pull on a DyonJet. Run condition at around 91 degress with 71% of humidity. Out of the 3 runs, pretty consistent. Max 265.89HP and 251.23 Torque. That is less than 9% of power loss from what Acura claimed. I am very very happy with the result.

5th gear the closest gear to 1:1? I forget this thing has a 9sp AT

RV6 products are the best products I have ever put on my any of my Honda's and Acura's, he's awesome to work with too.

Cant wait to see the after dyno once installed!

Sorry if this has been asked many times but is this a mod that should be avoided on a leased car? My dealership over the years has always been very cool with modifications but I have never don't anything other than lowering springs and intake. Thoughts? I would of course remove it before trading back in...

TheAcAvenger

Any chance you can post an SAE corrected dyno instead of an STD corrected dyno? Just for comparison to the majority of dynos on this site?

TheAcAvenger

STD figures are usually around 4% higher than SAE, but winpep will readily convert your dynos for you. If we took your peak runs and guestimated an SAE conversion just using the imperfect 4% conversion, we'd get 255whp/241wtq which is still more torque than we've ever seen from a J35 variant. Good stuff.

Chan_Mike

Yes 5th gear is the closest to 1:1. The vehicle actually hit the restricted top speed right before it hits the rev limit.
Agree. RV6 is the best under hood products so far. The detail and craftsmanship that goes in every single one of their products are amazing. It's come with everything you will need for the install, including instruction, hardwares and gaskets.

Some dealerships might get sensitive with aftermarket add on. It really vary from dealer to dealer.

RV6 is the first so far with any mods under the hood on the TLXs. I am sure they are already looking into the exhaust system or under development. We will love to have the first exhaust system in our project.

Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to the power gains. Keep us posted.

Chan_Mike

All back together. Perfect and direct fitment without any modification. Big thank you to the one and only, RV6 team.

I bet she's a little louder at start up

Chan_Mike

On start up, not too much. But on hard and full throttles, it gives a super nice throatier sound.

^on cold start up's, i meant.

Chan_Mike

Well.... Moment of truth. Back in our friend STP Motorsport at Fort Lauderdale, FL for some more Dyno actions. Gain 14 whp and 18 torque at high RPM. From perfect fitment, awesome craftsmanship and to proven power gains. RV6 reputation speaks for themselves.

Were the larger wheels on the car during the 1st dyno that you are comparing it to?

dzionny_dzionassi

when installing new mods, before Dyno, you should drive 100 miles or more, let the ecu learn new mods. Usually it pulls better after week driving.

Chan_Mike

Yes. The larger wheels were on the 1st dyno as well.

Chan_Mike

After the PCDs installed, we resetted the ECU and drove it for over 250 miles before the dyno.

I-MOD

Just picked up my 6v Advance today. Love what you guys have done here. Have you had any CEL issues with the PCD?

Chan_Mike

No check engine light with the RV6 PCDs. Thanks for your support.

Whoah, that's a fantastic gain, Mike...very exciting. Thank you for taking the time to put this together!
