Nice. What were you trapping before the swap? How long did the swap take you? Any problems, or is the wiring harness the only thing you have to mess around with to get the J32a3 installed? TL ecu or stock one?

 

[NHB_AV6-6]

I don't know why everybody is questioning his engine's power. His car is trapping 2 MPH faster than my 40k mile j30a4 6-6 JP/CBE/V2/URD pulley did, and 2-3 mph faster than his j30a5 did. Let's not forget the j30a5 was 244 hp SAE, making it only 14 BHP less than the j32a3. His times will get better with traction; I went to the track this spring with the same temps, hardly 50 degrees, and I had to ***** foot it out of the hole with a little less power than he's making with the J32. Trapping 100 mph is what guys like Sonnick hit with 250 whp Accords. Just because you had a freak launch and perfect 60 ft time doesn't mean his car is weaksauce, when it's out trapping yours by 3 mph

Also, my technique for speed shifting the 3-4 shift is to turn my hand the opposite way, and have the back of my hand facing the steering wheel, instead of the glovebox or on top of the shifter. This eliminates your natural tendency to move the shifter towards you when shifting back to 4th, as your arm is at an angle away from your body. I've been beating the piss out of many cars for a decade now, and I have yet to miss a shift without a mechanical issue (the slave cylinder failing on my old Accord, and leaving the pedal to the floor on upshifts sometimes, but that was a neutral misshift and doesn't hurt the engine as it just pegs the rev limiter).

I believe the redline is a little bit lower, so with the stock trans he'd be shifting at slightly lower MPH. So instead of going into 4th at 90 he'd have to shift at like 85.

Yeah, I love how there is an inexpensive engine we can use that will be an upgrade at the same time.

 

[NHB_AV6-6]

You could actually get traction in 25 degree weather? Lol I used to have a hard time launching my 140 hp Integra during the Fall when it was like 45.

 

[NHB_AV6-6]

So for this swap, you can reuse both the J30 harness and J30 ECU, right? Or do you need the J32 harness? Or do you need the same harness as ECU?

 

[NHB_AV6-6]

So an engine from an automatic TL won't work with our transmission, at all?

Edit: the site Chulo mentioned with the second J32 says "fits auto trans only"

Yeah I was shocked to see how hard it pulled to 145. I bet these cars will do 170.

 

[NHB_AV6-6]

Borla dynoed at 10 whp though? I bet it's better than the crappy Magnaflows I had on my old Accord.

Don't forget the pulley too :up:

 

[NHB_AV6-6]

Yeah someone posted it here a few months back, but it was just a post and I don't feel like searching for it lol.

 

[NHB_AV6-6]

No, I remember somebody posting the dyno for a Borla catback that was 10 whp over stock. Wish I knew what thread it was in.

 

[NHB_AV6-6]

Time for the custom 3" catback

 

[NHB_AV6-6]

Intake, then exhaust, then PCDs and J-pipe, then IM/runners

 

[NHB_AV6-6]

Yes he did. That will be for sale once it is out of the car. I just love my accord soo much so I decided to make it into the car that I want since none of the new cars are interesting to me. Everyday I drive the accord I get a smile on my face and more I put into it the bigger the smile I get.

Wow. How much? Ever get it dynoed?
