that's a s2kcr with a 3.7Litre v6 from a 09 acura TL; 305 hp and 273 lb.-ft. of torque. This would be better, right?:thumbsup:

wow.. it actually fits...

[!Aznboi128]

^ yea, I was surprised too. Best thing its still sits behind the front wheels to have a better weight distribution

[snowball]

an s2000 with some torque, i like that

[tamazoid]

Wow! Should go pretty good! It's probably already 1000 pounds less than the TL SH-AWD...

[Mkhun]

WOW ! any vids? must be flying!

[RabidRat]

there have been a lot more fun engine swaps with the s2000, but the fact that Honda did this makes it just so much better!

[Leopold Stotch]

hmm what sorta trans did they use? not that it matters, just interested

[tonyvu]

fuck that thing must flyyyy

[asian_XL]

so it is FWD?

[RabidRat]

layout's still transverse; looks like they fabricated a new setup so the motor will do FR.

[!Aznboi128]

no vids, no info, it's fr, not sure what tranny

"recently modified by Honda Performance Development (HPD), has the 3.7-liter V6 from the Acura TL SH-AWD"

reading the source... could it be awd? parts from the tl?

nah no way. the car's out of production now, there's especially no reason for them to go so far out of their way with R&D to throw an AWD system on a chassis that was never intended for it. imo.

[GabAlmighty]

Why didn't they just put a v8 in it?

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

shit that is sick, new TL's engine


:eek: drool

[jeff_alexander]

I hope they didn't ruin the weight distribution on this thing. Somehow a more powerful engine for me doesn't always make it better. I'd still prefer a high-strung motor myself.

[alwaysideways]

Pfff....V6 ....why not inline 6! :)

[spoon.ek9]

interesting development!

[BrendanS]

Would rather have a VQ35HR in there

[maxx]

weight distribution...


its too nose heavy. the car is fairly light but the engine, even in the tsx v6, is too heavy

[XtC-604]

high strung FTW, what honda should of done as a wow factor is a factory stroked turbo s2000

[Dinan3]

I don't know man. Some people buy the car for its engine.

Off topic, but wasn't there a guy in West Vancouver that stuffed a Ford 5.0L V8 in a Miata?

[Ohkun]

miata with ford v8 was pretty common settup.

mainly because some company offered conversion kit. (iirc)

they called it monster miata or something..

[bikerx]

yup monster miatas there are bunch running around town :P

yup monster miatas there are bunch running around town :P
http://www.bishopsales.com/monstermiata/contact.htmlFord V8s aren't that good.. it will add like 350lbs to Miata because of its heavy iron block V8.

LSx is so much better, light weight, aluminum block and better on gas too.

[jigga250]

rather have a turbo f20c

[TRD Rs200]

hmmm, I would think that its RWD

[Leopold Stotch]

rather have a turbo f20c

i agree! except i'd rather have a rotorex sc instead.

[BMW135i]

or 2jz is pretty good too.

[ajax]

Might as well just put a Ferrari v12 in there.
