Some people seem to think that a 96 mm stroke makes a J37 slow revving.

 I have a J37A2 with a 15 lb aluminum flywheel and I can assure you that

it is quick revving in typical Honda fashion. I'm not comparing it to a C-series

NSX engine as I've never driven one, but I've had K-series powered vehicles

in the past and my J-series engines are comparable.


The J37A2 (RL) and J37A4 (TL) engines are my favorite.

They have VTEC on intake AND exhaust despite only being

SOHC engines.


I too thought the J37 might be sluggish and was somewhat concerned

before installing it, but after the first time driving it I was pleasantly surprised

at how quick it revved.


Maybe this video can help. Note how quick 1st gear revs and bounces off

the rev-limiter.
