I have a 7th gen 6-6 accord and I’ve been looking into swapping the magnesium intake manifold on my J30 I’m glad you uploaded a video for the build!
Someone needs to do a j37 manifold vs a j35y manifold on a dyno motor looks good bro
A handful of ppl have already done it on the J35Y2 on the 9G AV6, which I have. I know it’s much more popular on the 8G AV6, but I wanna see how much more power I can get out of my J35. I’m currently running the P2R “Big Bore” TB kit, with a Takeda Momentum intake. I’m looking to maybe get the J37 manifold from Heeltoe, esp if I can’t find used parts. Fuel injectors are my next upgrade in the future. Lpl
This is an amazing and very knowledgeable channel! Super appreciative of your documentation of your build. Thank you
Thank you 🙏🏻
2nd channel on TLS I’m subscribing to. This makes me embrace my journey with my TL even more. Learned about multiple things in this one video. Thank you sir!
I had the J32 manifold and change it to the j35 I felt a difference but when I replaced it with the j37 big difference
Much more complicated have to customize intake sensor placement 🤔
Do he hav to relearn the throttle
@@flipinfin intake air temp sensor can be placed in the air inlet tube or a cold air intake setup with one. Older hondas had them in this location from the factory.
Nice intake 🔥
Excellent score at the boneyard
Nice! That's my favorite thing about the honda scene it's like the Ford 302 or Jeep 4.0 , Junk yard builds! Cheap performance
I love your builds man , thanks again for bringing us amazing content james 💪😎
No problem sorry for the late reply
Ive had a few j series and that's a 3.5 mani which is better but the j37 mani and tb is the best one for these motors talk to justin thomas or shaun martinez in the 3rd gen tl base group they have done alot of research Justin got his auto base at 270whp untuned following mods I had done to mine and shauns type s makes well over 300whp fbo with his amazing manifold port work
The IAT sensor is better in the intake, because it's away from the heat
A Volvo XC90 throttle body is 76mm fits the jseries!! Only need to switch positive and negative pins!
So I'm pretty new to this but learning lot from you. Very appreciated. Can you clarify one point the engine is a 3.2 liter , while the magnesium intake is from a 3.5 liter ? And that it's just the gasket is the only other piece needed for this ? Thanks in advance , keep moving forward
The Acura TL is 3.2L. It has aluminum manifold. Get a 3.5L magnesium manifold from Honda odyssey or Honda Pilot. The benefits…better air volume, Cooler intake temperatures, manifold can be separated, cleaned, and Ported+polished to create even more air volume.
I didn’t like the shade of Vht red over vht black rinkle. It looked more orange in person. I ended up using a heat gun to make it wrinkle then buying two darker reds to test over it. I misted the best red over it and it darkened the valve cover enough .
Anyway, point is, your theme is green so if you decide you want green wrinkle, you are only a spray away 😆.
Thanks for this knowledge on this upgrade I’m going to do this instead of j37 manifold cost to much and im doing m90 supercharger
Man when you had the intake off. I was thinking that engine would sound sweet with an itbs!
Looks good. Ready to get back to working on mine. If the damn weather would just chill
Awesome! Can't wait to see the dyno data!
When you dyno it can you make sure you get a good pull from a low rpm the main advantage to the extra plenum volume is supposably extra torque at cruiseing rpm . Would love to see if this is true
Love this build !!! Keep up the good work
Beautiful bro!! Keep it up! Loving the progress
Cars sound sweet bro. Keep up the great content..
I have the J37 manifold on my 98 accord. I have the J35a4 with the 03 CL-s 6spd. I used the prank parts adapter. I had the p2r one when it first came out and it leaked and caused all kinds of issues.
Interesting would pt this manifold on my ody. Your j35 is drive by cable?
@@CRAPO2011 yes it is
@@gregb4530 cool, how do you like the swap did it transform your accord? You have any videos/youtube?
@@CRAPO2011 It definitely made it quicker. It not fast by any means, but much better than stock. Sorry no videos. I should make one one day.
I got a 03 pilot that I'm getting ready to transform I want to turbo it but from my research it's got a weak trans in it? And your videos are dope really helpful information!🔥🔥
Where u get your research i can't find anything 😭😭
I know the 03-07 accord v6 auto transmissions are weak. I don’t know about the pilot but I’d assume there not much stronger.
What’s the benefit switching to magnesium from aluminum?
Less heat soak so the air stays colder and more dense. You could argue slight weight reduction but I’m guessing it’s so marginal that it wouldn’t make much of a difference anyway.
Magnesium is highly flammable.👍🏼
@@jroctizzle Its actually quite a bit of weight. You could argue in the grand scheme is "negligible" but something like 7 lbs is nothing to sneeze at IF you are shaving lb by lb off stuff. Also while gaining a bigger, better flowing intake manifold that also nets you about 5-10 hp BY ITSELF, without a tune. With supporting mods its been dyno proven to give 20 hp. 20 hp to the Wheels that is, with pure boltons.
I think you need to swap that green out
J37 manifold 2007-2009 inlet air diámeter how much measure?
Small u need 2010-2012
Where did u get the super charger
Keep up the content bro love it✊🏼
Cool work came out clean!!!!!!
Don’t think I’ll get a response soon, but I snagged a j35 manifold from the junkyard and didn’t realize it til I got home but I don’t have the solenoid deal on the the passenger side that controls like the other butterfly valve type things, just wondered how I went about that, thanks!
Do what I did 2008 to 2010 Honda accord V6 top plate doesn’t have the butterfly valve or you can use pranks parts butterfly valve delete kit
Definitely going to get an Acura TL for a daily now 😋✌🏻
The best daily I ever owned thus far
Best car ever!!!!!
Have you thought about tuning for E85 with the blower? It should help lower intake air temperatures and prevent predetonation under higher boost pressures. Even on N/A builds engines pick up power after tuning for E85.
Definitely add a catch can with the blower. It's amazing how much oil they catch out of the PCV system. Plus they will let you know quickly if you develop any bottom end issues cracked piston ring or melted piston.
@@jeremypike9153 yea the J series are bad about having pools of oil in the intake manifold in the first place I think this is a must do for the supercharger.
I love my 05 acura TL but Irish it was stick lol.
👍 "if God willing" being a muslim I can appreciate the virtue of the use of this phrase. We say insha'Allah/god willing. Great videos across the board. I am still following the supercharged pilot build because I am researching all of the details of making that project go smoothly. Dbw is a little concern but insha'Allah it'll go well. Have you considered getting the zzperformance heat exchanger?.. Richard Hondeners channel the tests are very promising.
Good videos 👍 what exact engine did you get the magnesium manifold off of i want to get the same one for my 3.2
J35 out of a odyssey but it was a nice 9whp increase I have another video on how much power with proof. It was a decent bump
I have a stock 2004 Honda Pilot,high flow cat,2.5 piping from the cat all the way back to rear dual 5” center exit tips. Weapon R Dragon intake,vibrant resonator and a flowmaster super 10. Is there something similar to this that I could do to my Pilot?
I just received my headers,and coil overs in the mail. Under construction!👍
The link for the pads and rotors link to non drilled and slotted. FYI
Hey bro do you think that the 3.7 manifold will fit my 01 cl type s j32a2?
So I can do this to my j30A4 2005 Honda Accord ex v6? Please lmk
Yes
I have a PnP IM & TB with P2R TB spacer and thermal gaskets on my J30A4 6-6. Best upgrade I’ve ever done
Where do I get a J37 Magnesium IM for my 2006 Acura MDX 3.5L. Which vehicle should I get it from?
Ebay. Lkq pick your part.
I know you said you sold the Acura TL what's up with the new owner can you do a update on car with him I'm sure there's a lot of people that would like to know how the car is doing and it would get lots of views
Looks badass bro!
How did you open up the manifold to clean it and what did you use to reseal it? Thank you i don’t want to damage it
they sell gasket kits on ebay for all intake models
You loosen the bolts. Get a pry tool and pry it apart. Then clean with a scotch brite pad or sponge. Rinse off good. Reseal with Honda bond or rtv silicon.
Is this manifold from a 2008 Honda Oddysey? Also I saw your other video about the P2R intake manifold spacer, will the space fit with this manifold on a 05 TL? Thanks!
Don’t quote me on it. I believe this manifold is 05-08 Honda Odyssey and Honda Pilot.
Love the content
I’m in desperate need. I have a magnesium intake manifold off of a 08 TL. I don’t know if it is 3.2 or 3.5L I can’t tell. Please let me know how I can cosmetically tell the diff. between the 3.2 magnesium and the 3.5 magnesium intake manifold please.
Hi quick question if I do this with a 2007 type s 3.5 with a 3.5 intake manifold from a j35 orj37 will I have to tune it to see more gains and response or overall will have to be tuned
Do you need to replace the throttle body to put a 3.7 Intake manifold on a 3.2 04 TL? I also heard that if you do a TB on a manual you get bad rev hang? Just trying top figure everything out before i spend a bunch of money.
The j37 throttle body is bigger. It won’t bolt up to a j35 manifold. You need to use j37 manifold with j37 throttle body. Yes, there will be more rev hang.
No throttle body swap?
does the 05-07 Accord Hybrid JNA1 manifold the same because it looks similar please and thank you!
Cross Reference the part number. FI they are not identical, they are Very close.
17160-RCJ-A01 would be the magnesium part number, an it says "2005-2007 Honda Accord Hybrid 17160RCJA01" on the site.
@@crisnmaryfam7344 thank you very much!!
Sounds good bro👌
Where did you get the Comptech supercharger?
What are the torque specs for all of the bolts?
Sweet video 😎
Hey when you did the auto to manual swap did you also change the ecu?
Yes, you absolutely have to.
hello friends, I am new to this channel, I just bought a 2005 acura tl 3.2 and I got the admission for the 2015 honda accord 3.5, my question is, can I put it as it comes along with the throttle body? thank you very much ... help me friends
What color did u paint your intake? And why didn't u use the 3.5 throttle body?
Can this manifold be added to the j35a4 02 honda odyssey???
Can you post a pic of the model # sticker on the backside of the new installed magnesium intake manifold so I know what to get
06 07 honda odyssey minivan bruh or basically any j35 bruh
Plz tell me that cars a manual transmission
I put the 3.2 back on and it runs fine what does that mean
Hey man, you think I can do is conversion to a RLX?
You gotta share where others can get these upgrades as well. I need that intake, before i get the supercharger
What car did you get this from? Honda Odyssey?
I believe 08-10
Honda Odyssey works too
I believe 05-06 odyssey because this is the j35 magnesium. The j37 magnesium would come from 3.7L Acura TL and MDX.
So does this interfere with the EGR ports because I know that the j series are prone to clogging up the EGR passages.
No it won't clog up. Take it out and clean it once in a while you'll be fine
Would a 08 manifold from an odyssey work?
following....💯
cool swap :-)
What you think? How much more hp?
Does the stock j32 throttle body fits? I have mines ported and polished.
I’m using my J32 throttle in this video that way I didn’t have to reprogram or throttle relearn.
@@TexasHondaChannel from what car did you get the intake manifold from?
@@TheBiigBadWolf I thinks it's a 2010 pilot
@@TheBiigBadWolf Honda Odyssey. He used j35 magnesium from Honda Odyssey.
i was under the impression that all the 6spd manual TLs came with brembo brakes like the type S
They do. He must've did a manual swap on an auto.
@@dman8965 no, he said previous owner swap out brembo for single piston for dumb reason
Yeah that makes absolutely zero sense..
Yes ^, except it is smart if you don't wanna deal with Frozen bolts of the brembos when it's time to replace rotors..
Yes, just with no brembo logo.
I've got an 03 accord manual. Where did you get the comptech?
Rare. Hard to find. Not made anymore.
Wife has a 2012 v6 accord like this. Does the larger acura manifold bolt right up?
Most likely. Go j37 manifold and throttle body.
@@thronewalker1153 sounds good 👍🏿
Does the magnesium manifold has to come off of manual car or will auto also work? Looking to swap my 07 j30a5 6mt
Doesn’t matter if auto or manual. Just make sure to get manifold with coolant temp sensor.
there is no required tuning for using the bigger throttle body??
asking because i have the j35 intake and throttle body and have yet to install due to not know if i’m able to use it without tuning
No you don’t. You don’t need to tune since it’s only a mild improvement. If you want to tune, go ahead and do so. It’ll improve it a bit more and give you a better gain. But overall for small bolt ons like these you almost never do unless you want to get every single little bit of hp out of each mod. I just got my TL and I don’t plan to tune it until after a couple modifications to do a better improvement all at once and not needing to spend money over and over again to tune for mild gains. Im planning to get a J pipe with its exhaust as well, then plan to buy the manifold shown in the video, send it off to port as well as with its throttle body, and then later install all myself once I get all those 3-4 things. Then I’ll take it to someone for it to be tuned. Just my suggestion really🙏🏽
I put a j37 intake, manifold and throttle body on my 7gen accord with no issues whatsoever just big gains and better fuel economy
@@jseriestech its an amazing bolt on upgrade for any J engine. the magnesium one being the most desired for weight savings on top of the 10-20 Hp you can get. Lots of other brands and owners pay tons more, and do more work for the same gains or even less.
Nice 👍🏽
Would the j35 manifold on the j32 affect smog check ? I live in cali
J35 manifold won't give you any high end torque you have to go 3.7 manifold with the 3.7 throttle body
You didn't upgrade throttle body along with the manifold? Is there gajns to be had doing a PNP on the mani?
Yes. There’s gains to be made with most PNP jobs.
Did you have to drill and tap for the temp sensor or was it already there?
I just picked up a j35 manifold from pick’n’pull and the temp sensor was there, I pulled it from a Honda odyssey but you have to double check because there’s a couple different styles as I found out and make sure it matches yours. Take pictures of yours to make sure!
@@jroctizzle Do you remember which year the Odyssey was?
I got my j37 off 09 acura mdx n it has that IAT sensor hole, new model 2010 n up j37 don't have that IAT port hole.
@@ARraven15 I’m fairly certain it was a 2005
@@Pusheenloveeatingpizzareally? i just picked up a j37 intake mani and tb from the 09 mdx for my 06 base tl, and it looks like mine doesnt have tht IAT sensor hole on the j37 IM. pretty sure i have to drill a hole for tht AT sensor
Dude did you have to swap for 3.5 throttle body??
3.7 instead right!
No, the j35 throttle bottle will fit on a j32 manifold. The j32 throttle body will fit on the j35 manifold. Vice versa
All you needed was the manifold right? No extra parts or anything? And did the 3.2L throttle body fit well?
he replaced the 3.2L with a 3.5L intake manifold no spacer needed it fits perfect, if you upgrade from a j30 to a j35/j32/j37 intake manifold you need spacer upgrade.
@innercircleindustries yes
@@dunksmcree1699 okay so the j35 mani bots up to the j32 throttle body...so would the j37 mani bolt up to the j32 throttle body as well?
@@matthewallison5139 No you can’t. The J30, J32, J35 throttle bodies will not fit a j37 manifold. You have to use j37 throttle body on j37 manifold.
What paint did you use/ what prep did you do to get the silver so nice on the magnesium !?
It is the magnesium
@@dunkthebomb my manifold is all oxidized and crappy lookin. Thought it was painted
@@car-guy_03gaming78 he probably got it sanded blasted or something
He said he power washed it but that still wouldn’t get it that clean.
Hi
Hey!
Hello
Could I do the same swap on my 3.0?
Yes! I'm doing a j37 swap soon on my 3.0L j30a4 soon. The j32 from the TL and the j30 from the Accord are practically identical motors
@@car-guy_03gaming78 unless you have a j32a2 its different. It has beefier cams in it.
@@thqt_max I actually didn't know the a2 had better cams than the a3. Do those j32a2 cams drop in a j30a4? I've heard good things about j35a8 cams specifically RL
@Faggot Rotten any j series can be converted to a catless header design thanks to jswapshop, but if you're talking j30 using actual headers it was the models from 02 back (before a4 in 2003, a4 was first for the 1 piece design)
@Faggot Rotten I'd much prefer individual tubing all the way to the j-pipe, I agree
Where can I buy one
6 speed without Brembos? Was this TL born a Auto??
They didn't do the brembos until 2007 on the type S. 04 to 06 there wasn't a type s model.
@@gregb4530 any 04-06 with 6 speed has Brembo brakes. Yes the 07-08 only came with brembos on Type S, 6 speed and Auto.
Texas Honda TL was born a Auto for it not to have brembo
@@hondafreak8613 I didn't realize that. Thanks for the info.
05 tl has a j32 throttle body ? Will it still fit the j35 manifold ?
good question the answer is why? yes it will fit but why would you replace the intake manifold and not the throttle body? youd be doing all that work to gain nothing.
I thought all manual tL’s came with brembos up front.
any 6 speed v6 got no logo brembos stock
@@thronewalker1153 my type s got them. I thought all 04-06 Acura TL manual transmission came with big brakes up front

If u got time, need some help putting some stuffs on my car as well. Which part of H-town are u from?
How do you seal ur manifold. I need help
If you split it in half and are putting back together. Get Honda bond or Rtv silicon.
How did you open the manifold to clean it from the inside?i got the manifold off an 08 odyssey. The cool temp sensor is not located where urs is at did i get the wrong one?
you have to take everything apart give it a bath in degreaser and clean it, then you can wash the intake, and polish/paint it (polish the internals and paint the externals)(using drill extensions helps get inside the manifold)
You got the wrong one.
You want the one with the coolant temp sensor on the manifold.
@@thronewalker1153 yeah I figured 😩 which manifolds come with the temp sensor?
@@kazoku1178 It has to be earlier year odyssey. I believe 05-06 odyssey EX, LX. I think the 05 pilot has it too.
when you do all this work do you check valve clearances?
no because you dont pull the valve heads off when doing this everything stays in time.
@@dunksmcree1699 Wth lol
The valves are accessible when you pull off the VALVE covers to paint.
You adjust the lash with a feeler gauge.
It make a good difference in mine, ran smoother and more responsive afterwards.
On Honda's it's recommended to check and adjust them frequently.
No you don’t. If you Honda has over 200,000 miles then I’d recommend taking it in for a valve adjustment.
How much for super charger
I paid $1,700 but I have done more since this video and sold it and on to the next project
Ur TL looks damn good u was not playing any games
How much HP more ?
6-7
Is there a way to get in contact with you? I have a couple questions about this project
No, he isn’t taking any questions at this time.
Does this cause any rev hang?
No, this doesn’t cause any rev hang. It’s a great upgrade for the car.
What year manifold did u use?
08-10
I used 05-06
Oh ok from which car?
