^ Yes. I went to the dealer for that.

 

Do I hear a Hard Pull and Top out Video coming up? LOL

 

Here is the video you ask for. I let go at 144.5, So the 04 ecu doent not have a governor.

And a quick pull

^,Maybe this weekend.

 

I check the code, now is p0452 instead of p0453, is the opposite before was FTP hight voltage now is FTP low voltage.!

 

euh??..

 

VCC4 (YEL/GRN) on A31 needs to moved to A12 (Vacant)

It also looks like CRMT CLS (Cruise Clutch Pedal Position Switch; LT BLU) on A13 needs to be moved to A30 (Vacant) in order for cruise control to be cancelled when the clutch is disengaged.

What about the SG4, would that one stay on A1?

 

Yes

 

Just did what you told me and the check engine is GONE Thank you a lot gwiffer

 

do you think that moving the VCC4 would get rid of the code for the FTP

 

You are the man thanks

 

Yes, it's part of the FTP circuit according to the service manual in the EVAP DTC troubleshooting section. I overlooked it when you gave me the previous code.

If you look at the pinouts in the links I posted, you can compare connector A between the 04-05 TL and 03-07 Accord. My Helms manual makes no mention of any changes between model years of the 7G Accord...except for how the ECT sensor is named on Connector D (won't affect anything).

 

I've heard that the J32A3 swap is plug & play, but nobody has mentioned any wiring changes. I'm glad we figured this out so everyone else will have this information. I'm been contemplating this swap for a while along with a new clutch, new synchros/gearsets, and LSD.

 

I know, thank a lot. Yea I moved the last pin you told me to, a31 to a12, than I plug it back and the check engine ligh did not come back.

 

What's the procedure for re-keying the immobilizer? Do they need the whole car or just your Accord key and the TL ecu?

Did you move the clutch pedal switch pin?

 

Yea I move that pin, that when the cell went away.

I drove the car to the Acura dealer with the accord ecu, and gave them the Tl ecu.
They needed whole the car, I took the ecu out and told them to just plug the tl and re-keying the immobilizer that I would put everyting back so they wouldnt charge me for taking the ecu out and putting it back. They charged me the minimun time 1 hour $125

 

Gwiffer, awesome!!! Glad you guys got it figured out!

How much did this cost? Parts then labor. It honestly may be one of the most cost effective mods. I'm sure the torque increase is substantial.

 

I got the engine for $450, the install was $700, 04 TL ecu $140, wasted $70 on the 06 TL ecu which doesn't work for our car $40 coolan $81 for a right side engine mount, my was broken. $35 oil and filter. $125 at the dealer to get the ecu to work.
The timing belt, and clutch were recently done I had a friend look at the engine bin # , I just took the fly wheel a machine shop to get it resurface +$50

 

thanks alot Gwiffer!! very Helpfull.

 

If my engine ever takes a dump, I will most likely want a J32 in there.

Thanks for the helpful posts!

 

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

 

props to gwiffer! thanks for the post on the pinouts for those looking to swap a j32a3 in the future..

sorry i couldnt help you out more than i could chulo.. when it comes to electrical, im clueless. i tried to reach dr. chuie for the info, but he is in the middle of moving his shop, so hes been kind of hard to reach for the last couple of weeks. we just barely found out about the evap cel recently ourselves. i just sold my SC setup back in dec which is the reason i finally swapped out the ecu for the TL unit. i drove around for weeks with the evap cel thinking i needed to change the sensor also, but when i brought it back to him a couple weeks ago for another issue, thats when he found out about the pin being in another location and looked up both pinout diagrams. all these years i never had the need to run the 3.2 ecu till now, since i was boosted and running the fic for fuel management. oh and just fyi, the reason why i took it back to him was because my car bogged out and eventually died on me like i was running out of gas on the freeway. had the car towed to his shop and it wasnt getting any spark and kept popping the ingition coil fuse when putting the key to the "on" position. thinking there was a short somewhere, he took all day trouble shooting the problem, but luckily we still had my stock ecu handy. plugged that in and it started right up. turned out that my AC was running so cold, that water condensed around the AC hose fitting and flooded the area around the ecu. we cracked it open and water poored out lol. luckily there was no corrosion any where on the circuit board, so we dried it out with an air gun and it works perfectly now we put a cover over it so the problem wont happen again..

also, for those interested in the swap, call around some shops in your neck of the woods. i found a shop that programmed the immobilizer for 50 bucks. only took about 15 minutes to do

as for gains, trapping 2-3 mph higher on the swap alone sounds about right. thats about how much i gained when i did the swap SC'd. track conditions, elevation, temp, humidity play a HUGE role on ET's and traps, thats why you see such a disparity in times at different tracks accross the states. i remember gaining 3 mph's at the same track with the same setup on a freakishly cold 25 degree day at fontana (it does snow there periodically @ 1200 ft elevation) than it did on a 100 degrees summer day earlier that year.

Sean thank to you I didn't have to go through all that trouble and went straight to changing the pin. I would probably have started changing Parts and all kind of staff.

 

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.

 

yes sir! that was back in the day without LSD on drag radials

that day was when i achieved my best launch of all time. 2.010 60 ft

have not been able to duplicate that time since, even with the LSD :/

 

i appreciate that you guys are figuring out all this electrical mumbo jumbo but do those issues really affect performance?

 

Maybe not Cuba.
@ sonnick. I love the bottom torque,I think it is enough specially diving through town.

 

450 for a 3.2 damn...

 

They have another engine from an 04 automatic tl for $450 at GeneralAutoRecycling.com just make sure you do the carfax on it. They said that the engine I got was 99k, it had 122k when the car was total according to the carfax.

 

i found a couple 3.2s for 550.

 

At the yard where I got mine, the j32 were cheaper than a j30. They had a j30a4 for 850
They also had two a j32a2 for 250.

 

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?

 

I use the j30 harness, they look identically the same, also I ran the j30 ecu for two day. but only the 04-05 TL ecu would work
