    Good video. Nice and thorough instructions. For that connector on the throttle body, it looks like the the sensors are similar enough that you could have just pulled the sensor from your old throttle body and installed it onto the new one. That way it would connect to your harness connector without any shaving. The way you did it can work, but sometimes Honda swaps pins around in the connector between generations and causes a MIL. Glad you got it worked out.

      If u were on acurazine, you would see that this was a popular mod many years ago. And the problems that thecarfiend had, were already known for only the 6mt, the autos don’t have idle issues. I installed both on my 6mt type s and had idle issues. Fixed 95% of the issue by swapping the motor and throttle position sensor from a 8th gen v6 accord j35 throttle body into the 3.7 zdx throttle body. All this information is available if u dig deep enough. Fixed 100% of the idling issue after hondata. Hondata may or may not fix the issue 100% without having to replace swap throttle body parts

    I got a 3.7 manifold with throttle body for $87 at a junkyard off a 12 TL sh-awd pretty good price, even though it’s in tuned when it gets hot can’t notice much of a difference but when it’s cold out definitely pulls Harder and better throttle response too.

      Thanks for sharing. That sounds like an awesome race, both has close specs. Manuals are always more fun, imo. ISF is a great, reliable, and pretty fast car (Father-in-law has a Fsport RX350, super reliable and fast for what it is).

    • @iamatlantis1
      @iamatlantis1 Рік тому +1

      the 6MT has different gear ratios so it does pull harder for longer in each gear. also fourth gear is way better than on the auto. (based on the videos i've seen) 4th gear still weak though compared to the newer 8 speed 2.0T's. I watched a video where a nice 3.7 SH awd 2011 i think went up against a 2.0T accord, 2021, and a 2021 TLX 3.5 SH Awd. The old 2011 pulled them until fourth gear.

    Very nice indeed, I always thought that the 4th-Gen TL had the prettiest engine bay out of all Honda/Acura products. I just love how the J-series V6 engine looks in general.
    But Acura took it a step forward when they developed the 4th-Gen TL. They just really wanted to make the engine the centerpiece if someone opened the hood & took a look. Kind of reminds me of how Apple develop their products… open one up & you’ll see what I mean.

No issues, other than 1-2 loss in MPGs. No idle issues, no vacuum leaks, nothing. But this is just my experience. If I did have issues, I would most likely swap back to the stock 3.2 IM. since winter is around the corner and I try to avoid working on the car in the snow lol. So definitely keep your stock setup when doing this mod, in case you run into issues

    Who ever you got that trottle body from probably moved the butterfly valve and alter the valve causing the idle to fluctuate therefore you have to do an idle re-learn. Nothing wrong with the 3.7 TB. I also feel like the oem metal gasket for the runners are better and the paper TB gasket is better I never had any idle or vacuum issues doing this mod

    Are you saying I can install a 3.7 Intake Manifold onto a 2006 Acura MDX 3.5L?

  • @justinfarris7045
    @justinfarris7045 2 місяці тому

    I’m thinking I will just drill a hole in my 3” to 4” rubber coupler right at the throttlebody and getting a thin nut for the inside to secure in the iat sensor. Did you just push in the iat sensor in the hole? Is it secure? I think the threads on the sensor are m12/1.5 can anyone confirm this?

    • @thecarfiend11
      @thecarfiend11  2 місяці тому

      its a hack, but sounds like it could work. I'd be careful, because if the nut gets loose and falls off, it goes straight into the intake..

    Question, i have a 13 accord 3.5. I wanted to add some more power by adding the j37 intake manifold and throttle body. I purchased a gmd8a throttle body off ebay, what would be more beneficial, get an adaptor so I can use my j35 intake manifold with the j37 throttle body or get a j37 manifold as well.

    Also is it possible to put the j37 throttle body on the j35a8? Is that possible without doing any special work to the parts or buying additional smaller parts? And/or having to do things with the cpu of the car?

      I'm not 100% sure if this mod will work with your RL. you would have to do your own research on that. But in theory, yes it should be plug and play. Since you have the 3.5L motor, you won't see as much gains I did (coming from a 3.2L). I've heard of other people swapping in the 3.7 mani and have no issues. I just had bad luck with a bad throttle body and relearn process

      @@thecarfiend11 so I did somw research for a amateur car person, and saw that there's not much gains. However I'm wondering, even if I do buy a 3.7 intake manifold, and also TB, what would I do for the air intake tube? You look like you ha e some sort of CAI? also, I was trying to watch over and over again you talk about each sensor wire connecter, and how there was a slight difference. I'm wondering if you have any idea on what each does? And how my 3.5s wires format would be in relation the 3.7?
      Lastly let's jsut say I put in the air intake manifold an TB and get the wires good. Would I need to do some scanner tool things to see if it's running rich or lean, due to more air then it's used too?

    • @thecarfiend11
      @thecarfiend11  Рік тому +1

      Each sensor does something different. But it is important to have them connected, unless you want to manually bypass something and control it thru other means (aka standalone ecu). You dont really need an aftermarket intake. just need to make sure the intake tubing is connected. And you can solve that with an aftermarket tube, just measure and try to find one that fits.
      The car is gonna naturally run lean (more air than fuel). But the car's ecu can adjust slightly to it. you'll get maximum benefits if you can tune the car with a standalone ECU and gain more efficiency and power

      That's too broad of a question. I don't know much about engine swaps. But I do know.. if you got the money, time and skills, you can swap any motor into any chassis. If you're talking the 3rd gen TL's, then you can't really swap other motors without some modifications. A 3.7 motor from a newer Acura will fit into the 3rd gen engine bay, but modifications will need to be made. It's never an easy/direct swap. Knowledge is power (quite literally)
