Very interesting.
My J swapped NSX...sorry for the wait. love or hate
- Thread starter Rogue MotorSports
- Start date
I wonder if it would be cheaper to stroke and retrofit a J-series engine with 6-speed manual tranny than stroking an NSX engine and upgrading to a 6 speed. Either case, this looks very promising.
Good luck with the project!

Can't wait to see how this ends up. Very cool. I'm a lover of the C series but the J is a great powerplant.
If both C and J series are v6 and vtech why the j series on revs up to 6k+ rpms instead of 8k rpms like the nsx??
This build is grea! Nothing but love here but can someone help me understand pros/cons between the J vs. C? Obviously one is more modern..
weight?
rev limit?
bore?
stroke?
iVtec vs. vtec?
transmission options?
I know nothing about the J. I barely know anything about the C lol

I believe STMPO did one, there's a thread on here somewhere.
The J37 is from the RDX, no? The RDX has a factory turbo these days, I thought...

also the comptech super charger for this engine is only 3500. VS 10-15K for the NSX for some reason...and can put out more.
you guys really need to think about swapping engines
but my idea and OP knows as we talked about this is a 07-08 3.5L TL type-S its Vtec is wayyyy different than the standard 04-06 TL 3.2

in 2k13 the RDX switched to a 3.5l V6 and dropped the factory turbo's of previous years.

No, the 07 to 12 RDX had a 2.3 4cyl turbo. But a 3.7 Turbo would be pretty cool!
Very cool!
J-Series are great, cheap reliable and easy to mod.
Are you planning for a 3.7 crank swap?
NA tuning is a different story.
J's don't really rev past 7k effectively with out major modifications
Although the dual v-tec is a very cool system and the balance of a '60 setup is much better.
BTW Honda run's 2.8L twin turbo J's at Le Mans and the ALMS with good success and reliability.

For FI yes, it's much cheaper on a J to go 500HP than on a C,

Why is that J's can't rev over 7k??
It certainly can with different cam's and porting but in stock configuration it's setup to make torque in a sedan/mpv/suv application.
Type-S cam's add rpm but i recall those only going to 6700 or so.
Cheap J source: (J32 or J35)
MPV's like the oddesy saturn vue or sedans like the accord
add to that the Type-S valve train from a CL-S or TL-S to add rpm
Take a crank and rods & pistons from a J37 RL/Legend which are forged (Optional with J35 KB1 pistons)
OEM they are quite relatively cheap from Acura
Add a J37 TL manifold and Throttle or a K-Series Throttle
With out boring you end up with a potent 3.6L (89mm bore)
If you bore out to 90mm using the J37 piston you end up with a 3.7L
J37 are lighter than the older ones due to aluminum liners.
Later model J35 and J37 have a single port exhaust manifold great for Turbo applications.
AEM makes a stand alone kit for swapers.

Is it true that there is no itbs for j series?
