Acura TLX Type S J30AC 1000HP Ready CSS Block & J30AC to J30A4 Block Comparison

In this video I compare the new Acura TLX Type S J30AC block to the older J30A4 block from a 2005 Honda Accord, and I show the differences that I can see. I also show a huge surprise fitment at the end of the video.
This is the worlds first CSS J30AC block that is ready to aim for 1,000hp.

B series has LS VTEC K series has K20 head and K24 block J series now has J35 block and J30AC head 😍😍😍😍😍 What a time to be alive

Shits about to get real. I hope the aftermarket for the J series engine keeps growing.

P2R is the best thing to happen to the J series. You guys are seriously awesome. I can't wait to see what you guys do in the future.

Loving the amount of work you guys put it. Passion at its finest

[@SwapBlogRU]

It makes sense why there are so many similarities, I mean, the J-series is and has been a lovely family of engines. Hopefully Acura is able to sell enough cars with the J30AC for more or less widespread aftermarket support to make sense, it would seem to me like this engine has some promise.

[@Snookynibbles]

The MDX is a best seller, I see them all over the place. No reason to doubt the Type-S iteration won’t become popular as well. And I understand the TLX-S has a waiting list.

@@lucysmith4242Has the past year changed your expectation? I haven’t checked out numbers too much, but I know not a whole ton of people got the Type S variants at first, due to the weight of the TLX. I’m not too sure about the MDX, since it’s not exactly a performance variant based for heavier racing and sports driving.

DOHC J series FOR THE WIN! Never thought I'd see the day. Only one major issue; Those exhaust ports. The single and mostly restrictive exhaust port vs 3 individual (6 total, 3 per bank) isn't good for making power as continuously proven by Nissan's VQ V6's that have essentially been leading the way in the V6 department for a lot of years. Next move for Honda is DOHC+Individual Exhaust Ports (6 total, 3 per bank) and we're back in the game for sure.

[@isnowyazn]

Damn, the last time I saw and drove a J30A…. it was NOTHING like this new J30AC. DOHC and DI fueling?! Crazy! I remember the first time the J30A4 debuted, and people started complaining about how the single collector, downpipe styled exhaust manifold would suck at making power.. Boy… it would surprise them how well these newest/latest, modern J-series are blowing the older designs out of the water!

Always impressive, you always make me want to switch my set ups, maybe I should wait on my heads and let you finish the J30ca heads for my build. Haha. J Swap Jason.

[@isucaps]

I'm interested in knowing if the j30ac block has the same transmission bolt pattern as the j35y and Z engines. Some of the A's had it like the j35a8 Acura RL. I'm cooking up some weird swap and this could be great edition down the road.

[@jimjam8948]

Absolutely freaking AMAZING

[@ty.exit140]

[@flaminbreath]

Learned more than a little somethin. Great video

[@MartianRacing]

Intake port size looks significantly larger. This would help me get that low end power higher.

[@MrSamPhoenix]

Wow, I thought the J30AC block was something different & was a J-series engine in name only. The newer block is about 87% similar to the older design! I’m pretty much shocked, especially with how the newer DOHC heads fit onto the older blocks so easily. Somebody could Frankenstein the hell out of J-series engines with ease. One last thing, I wonder how the timing-belt situation looks like with the J30AC engine… I’m like a school girl blushing over here 😊

[@aoescool]

yeah seriously i thought it was j series in name only.. all they did was dohc,removed vtec,and added a turbo.. but the swap potential is nuts

[@accord3036]

Hey, Sean. I believe that you can put a J37 crankshaft in the J30AC new TLX type-s engine too. If it is happen putting that big J37 crankshaft in there what kind of power would be witness.

[@j.stresstl182]

Sheesh. Wonder what the benefits would be with those dual heads in my TL sh awd 🤔🤔🤔

[@michaelchalambaga2028]

I would like the dual cam head on my j swap hatch civic…. I can’t wait for my info on this 🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@KennyG10]

Excited to see if any j series or NSX transmission bolt up to the j30ac block

[@isucaps]

It probably won't. The old j35a did have the same pattern and would work but Honda did a redesign in like 05-08 depending on the model. This one probably shares the newer design but they could have changed it again. But the good news is you could build a j35a out of an Odyssey and put the DOHC on the slip it into a NSX

[@kensmechanicalaffair]

Enlightening.

[@MarkAnderson-vg5vq]

[@ranmas2004]

So you guys found out the limit or torque rating for the 10 speed trans in the new Type S (TLX and MDX?) I feel like this will be the limiting factor, not the engine.

[@MurderMostFowl]

Have you guys learned anything about what the 21+ TLX type-S's SH-AWD 10 speed can handle without too much stress I've not heard of anyone speaking confidently about it, but I've never seen any stress tests at all.

How are valve-cover & timing-belt jobs done on one of these?! From what I understand there aren’t any cam caps to hold the camshafts down.

The cams slide into the heads on the j30a4. The valve cover is the cam caps on the j30ac.

@@PowerRevRacing getting my p2r parts installed Wednesday!

[@chrisrobles2012]

Honda / Acura limited the 1st gear ⚙️ to shift early. They must have seen the weakness in allowing first gear to rev high. When coming to a roll, the 10-speed does not shift back into first if you do not stop completely. It stays in second and is “laggy” compared to the first gear. I can bet you that some stuff broke after endurance testing and they limited the revving so they wouldn’t be swapping them out often . I’m sure it must have felt torquey for the non turbo MDX. The Type S MDX obviously has more torque and makes up for it in 2nd gear and in S-mode.
