my friend at work has a TL 3.2 and he was asking me about borin it out, i suggested gettin the 3.5 block and the heads should bolt straight up to the 3.2 heads..has anyone done this..does it work??

MoSeS · 09-03-2007, 04:13 AM

are you kidding... have you researched for any aftermarket support on that vehicle? there is none. its nonexistent, no one has done anything with those cars... trust me i have one...

Try asking on AcuraZine - The Acura Forum - Welcome Acura CL, Acura RL, Acura TL, Acura TSX, and Acura RDX Owners and Enthusiasts!. while there isnt much aftermarket support there is some. mostly from comptech.

you can use an mdx crank and rods with different acura 6 cylinder pistons for different CR.

look it up in the above....aahhh here

if its a first gen tl...c-series....yes

it it has a j-series block then yes also. YOu can do much more also. Swapping crank, rods, pistons, cams etc.

If done right you will have quite the beast.

Why not boost the stock engine... I'm sure like every other honda engine it could hold up well on 10 psi...?

By boost, I meant turbo... IMO S/C a small displacement engine is a waste... S/C works better on big cube v8's and such... yea it'll make power on the V6, but turbo'd 3.2 TL... much sexier

wings · 10-28-2007, 09:09 PM

i pick a supercharger over a turbo because less maintnace. just put in the the supercharger you will never worry about over boosting.

If he's got the Type S he might be interested in this..

Any non-factory boosted car is going to have alot of maintnance. Supercharger or turbo. I wouldn't make a decision based on that. If you spend the money on a nice wastegate, overboost is going to be rare.

i have just picked up a nice 2000 acura tl with the 3.2l v6 vtec i love this car it is the auto with the slap stick but still pulled on a 03 golf vr6 but anyway i want to make it a little quicker but not go as far as turbo due to my girl has a 2 and a half year old and i still need this car to be reliable i was thinking header and exhaust intake and possibly chip the ecu but is there anything else thanks guys

yep i agree it seems like evryone that owns a tl cl rl or anyu higher end acura or honda pretty much anything other than a (civic,teg) does not look for speed or handeing but in my opinion i want my car to look good going fast and also be very luxury
