Best performance mod for tl

[@hdua6772]

I meant to say 270-280 to the wheel. Idk why I said 170-180.. I’m currently at 264 whp. thank you Christ wot for pointing that out!

[@timborice22]

Still, definitely a car that deserves the attention, a lot of people waste their energy on the same cookie cutter cars and mods (aka brz frs wrx) also, no one really expects the TL to be what it is. I love it, good balance of luxury and fun.

[@Frostymanee]

They do pretty well in the canyons too. No one expects to have a TL keep up or gap them lol

Thank you bro, this helps a lot, plus it gives me something to look forward too

[@kitvexed8229]

couple things: 1. loop out the coolant going into the throttle body as it super-heats the air going into the intake 2. either get a lightweight Li Ion battery, or relocate the battery to the trunk as far inwards towards the backseat as possible.. the current placement is over 40lbs beyond the centerpoint of the front axle which is an absolute atrocious regarding weight distribution for handling. 3. get as much bracing as possible, albeit strut bar, swaybars or floorbars 4. get a short shifter! Acuity, hybrid racing or K.. it will IMPROVE YOUR SHIFT FEEL 100% the stock shifter is loose and sloppy!

[@DavidPooh13]

Love your intro about maintenance especially those with A/T I always tell people I come across asking about my mods is do maintenance and fix anything before modding to enjoy your build... Subscribed just now bro🙏🏼

[@hdua6772]

Thank you for the support! And yeah. If you don’t maintain it. You’ll have no car to enjoy in the future

[@lordzendar2481]

Which rear and front sway bar would you recommend?

I have a 07 base auto but I’m hoping to get either a type s manual or base manual soon

i just bought a 03 type s can i do these mods to it ?

[@r-kellyspeesheets908]

You can put the type s rear sway bar in the base models for a little improvement

[@hdua6772]

Yes but I rather get aftermarket sway bar if I’m gonna spend money

[@rayanali6058]

Yeoo, I got a 08 TL type s, just tryna mod it to be faster and quicker but retain its reliability what should I do and what tunes would be good for it?

[@saqu3197]

You recommend a 3x3 transmission fluid drain and refill at around 106,XXX miles? On my auto Acura tl 08

nice work that's again for great content 👏

[@hdua6772]

[@mercurynd4675]

What about 08 do I need ecu?

[@ethanmiller9400]

If you have the 05 base automatic you literally can’t tune your car unless you get someone to make you an ecu harness with drive by throttle body control, 3 grand later

[@Skitzofreenic]

Never heard of thus setup. Can you give me details as to what else I would need for this setup? I happen to own an 05 base... lol Yet I really enjoy this ride.

[@r-kellyspeesheets908]

Do you know anyone who has the test pipe in stock? I cant find one for my tl so might just have it cut out and have a pipe welded in

[@hdua6772]

Try endlessrpm or heeltoeauto

[@r-kellyspeesheets908]

@@hdua6772 thanks man, I'll check.

[@rightfight100]

Would any 07-08 ECU work on our 04-06 manuals? Is there any benefits of using the Type S ECU?

[@hdua6772]

You can use base 07-08 ecu but you won’t have cruise control

[@virokriptix4525]

is there any options for tuning my 05 auto? or any way to do it without breaking the bank?

[@WillyHilly]

no i don’t think so. there are ways to tune an auto don’t get me wrong, but it’s 100x more tedious. from what i have gathered from acurazine you have to have a serious know-how on electronics and ecu components

[@Skitzofreenic]

I thought if you get an 07/08 ECU... program it to work in your car. You can tune an 04,05 or 06.

[@walterrodriguez6561]

I have an 04 manual , Do u need a type s manual ecu or can u also get a type s auto ecu?

[@hdua6772]

Type s manual or 07 08 base auto ecu will work. There’s a list of part number of ecu that will work online.

[@lordzendar2481]

Hey man nice video, where would you recommend I get a j37 intake manifold and throttle body from? Is there a certain website I should look at?

[@hdua6772]

You can check endlessrpm or heeltoeauto. Or maybe even junkyards

[@melvinvelasquez4256]

Hey you still pass emissions in Gwinnett I’m trying to do all the Exhaust the same way as yours

[@shx2970]

Does the precat delete fail emissions?

[@hdua6772]

If it comes with defouler no. If not it will throw a code

[@kevin2jzzzz203]

So basically if you get a rv6 j pipe you’re getting test pipe since it’s deleting your third cat

[@hdua6772]

Rv6 j pipe will delete the 3rd cat

[@automotivetv9861]

Is there a tune for an automatic base ?

[@No_Transitory]

Yes theres a site that will custom make you an ECU harness for Haltech and Link systems. For auto transmissions only. But be ready to spend some $$ as these are custom made and you have to know exactly which Haltech or Link ecu your going to run. Best bet is to ask the guys at halfer land performance as they know all there is to know about J series engines. Ive done a lot of business with them with my 06 Acura TL base. Currently I'm running 324whp NA. But I've also spent over 6 $6,500 to do so from port and polished heads, cams, pistons, connectors, light weight pulleys, new fuel system, etc... I'm running the Haltech R3. These guys are super knowledgeable and will tell you whats what. No sugar coating the truth. The J32A3 is a well built engine and so long as you take care of it and upgrade the internals it will take care of you on the road. Also they have tunes they can email to you and you can load them yourself (so long as you have an obd2 connector with a usb connector which are pretty cheap.) halferlandperformance-com.3dcartstores.com/TuningElectronics_c_13.html

[@destroyergodzilla8626]

Nice vids bro👏 I got an 08 Type s with the 6 speed with a k&n cold air intake. Should I get a tune now or wait until I can buy other mods?

[@hdua6772]

You can get a tune now but it’ll be worth it if you get other mods first

[@NeonLightRays]

you could get it now if you find a place with unlimited revisions to the tune

[@talhamohsin6195]

whole time i thought u had a type s lol

[@hdua6772]

No.. sadly lol

[@MannyMadeIt]

What would be the best setup for a city with emission requirements??

[@Guapofrost]

You only think you will hit 170-180 to the wheel? Why so low ? I thinking in the 200s atleast like 220s+

[@Buhz93]

I think he meant 270 because fbo 3.2 6mt tl’s usually make that

[@rightfight100]

I think he's already dyno'd around in the 260's and he meant to say 270-280.

[@hdua6772]

Yeah did I said 170-180? LOL oops. I dyno 264 to the wheel right now and holding to get 270-280

[@jayt467]

Wats up man good content 👍🏻 I’m new to the tl i have an 05 and looking to do some performance mods that will increase performance and the best on the market for my car. Im currently looking at the rv6 gen 2 v3 (high flow precats) kit “ not a fan of rasp and excessive noise “ also currently looking for a catback exhaust system but not sure which would be the best to go with. i was interested in the atlp quad-tip catback “seems like one of the quieter exhaust” but it looks like it only fits the type-s! I’m sure it could be modified to fit on the base model tl correct? Any suggestion for these mods and catback exhaust system? Thanks

[@hdua6772]

Endless rpm has single exit and they sound pretty good. The high flow pre cat are not raspy and not as loud
