This is my build 3.5 stroker with rl pistons, ported heads, ported i/m, Mdx Intake spacer milled in half and ported to match intake. ported t/b and p2r spacer to 71mm., UR pulley. comptech headers, intake and mufflers, race cat, p2r clutch disc Custom spacers for the plenums. Just waiting on the clutch disc, race cat and the mounts to come in the mail so i can put this baby in.

Axles. They break easily:
The MDX spacer wont fit milled in half. Its 40mm stock. I had it down to 15mm and the manifold still hit the hood. And what mounts did you get?

There are custom axles you can get for $900 a set.
And the Innovative mounts are known for failures.
The reason things are difficult with this car is because it has one thing the 4 cylinders dont - torque. The torque on the J comes on much earlier putting much more strain on the entire drivetrain. Its not like a K series that makes peak torque near redline.

Yea I heard that the inovative street ones are known for failure. I got the more stiff 90a ones which I heard last longers.Nd whats the website so I can order the axles?. I want a good reliable build so I guess il just bite the bullet.

They are custom made from Driveshaft Shop.

i was running withen like a 0.1 or 0.2 everytime with the auto and that was more dependent on if i had open the hood and such to keep the engine from heatsoaking
not really needed at the track i go to, very grippy let alone, everybody is down on power due to the altitude (but a set of soft sidewall slicks would help with launching and suchThere are custom axles you can get for $900 a set.

if you really are trying to get in the 12's not FI you might as well gut the interior. You can always gut it for the track then return it after. It also puts more weight bias over the front wheels so should help with traction. I would also suggest having some custom traction/wheel hop bars made for the track only.

Yea, on a car this heavy you need to have the suspension sorted properly to get a good launch.

(biggest thing is we need decent engine mounts though

Yea i had plans on fabricating some traction bars. i know itll make the car heavier but hey if it helps out. as for suspension i have koni adjustable shocks with comptech springs in the rear and d2 springs in the front was thinking about getting some tien flex coilovers.. nd besides i wan to slam the brains outa my car lol

Im confused. Are you trying to slam it or hit 12s? If you slam it, thats counterproductive because you are changing the suspension geometries, and not for the better.

They dont make the Flex for our car. Basic or SS, which are both geared more for comfort.

LOOKS like my cl-s 6spd with 3.5 swap would be a beast.
I'm surprised the ecu hasn't been changed on these cars though, like a '07 tl-s 6spd ecu?
rods, pistons, and crank is all i would need?
what about the timing?

Im gonna start piecing this together. I really cant get rid of the mod bug and i really want a lot more power!!...lol
already found a used crank for $130 and the pistons and rig set for $270..at this rate, i may only have $1000 into this or less for all the parts if i can get them while they are cheap...

I wouldnt buy a used crankshaft, unless its coming with a completely assembled block.

and i found a steal anyways. '04 oddyssey j35a4 complete motor with ported and polished intake manifold for a crackhead price...lol
34k miles too..hopefully i can find a place to put it so i can buy it and rip out the goodies i need for a beast j motor...

ANYONE HAVE ANY INFO ON A FULL J35A8 SWAP?
Is it possible with minor changes?
im at 135k miles and was wanting to do a 3.5 upgrade, but if the j35a8 will work, i may do that instead because there is more power to be made with it, and it will have a lot less miles than my motor...
i see they are going for about $2-3k

$2-3k is more then stroking your current engine. And if the person building it know what theyre doing, theyll hone the cylinder walls again and you will basically have a brand new engine. You can even pick up an older J35A4 for under a grand if you want to go that route.

I have 2200 into mine, all new parts including the lightened crank.

Yeah. Also, it is a myth that the J35A4 valve reliefs don't clear the type-S valves.
The RL pistons are not required to run the type-S heads. The stock j35a4 bottom-end will bolt directly to the heads with zero mods. If you're running boost, I'd suggest keeping the Oddy pistons to keep the compression down.

The benefit of the RL pistons is the higher compression.

That is even better. What is the compression rate with ody psitons ? Same as cl ? 10.5 ? I dont think i will run boost and i want max the gains if possible but then it better off to buy an new shortblock and rl pistons.
That might be easier than i though it would be if shortblock dont need to be modified. Thats a sweet news. Once again whats the stock j32a2 compression ?

type s is 10.5-supposedally 11.0 for the rl pistons.
I also thought their were descrepences that the type s pistons and rl were the same size.
I would not pull apart a nice short block to install rl pistons.
You will only get 5-10 more hp if that staying with the stock crank bumping the compression .5 .
Do the short block and try a bottle.
