Hey yo, seems like alot of people ask questions here, I recently came into owning a 2007 honda pilot ex l, it has a J35A9 ij it, and I'm wondering if all these other parts from the other models will still fit on it, unsure, peace and love ✌

[@ErwinSchrodinger64]

Honda downplays the numbers on the J35 (specifically, the J35Y2). It's producing close to or more than 300hp at the crank. I used to think the J35 was seriously an underwhelming engine until you realize engines like the VQ35 and Toyota's V6, the 2GR are running DOHC, a more advanced variable valve time system, higher compression numbers, direct fuel injection, and yet, the J35 still meets or exceeds their performance numbers with low compression (10:1), SOHC, relative V-TEC system, low r.pm. (6800 r.p.m.), and port-injection. If Honda were to employ DOHC, increase the compression numbers, add port/direct injection, a more advanced variable valve timing, and increase the redline (8000 r.p.m.), I have no doubt the J35 could easily 350+ whp (410 at the crank). However, having that much technology in a Honda V6 would increase the cost considerably. The J35 is an incredible well built engine that clearly shows how Honda doesn't have to overly complicate engine technology to meet or exceed their rivals. On the other hand, it would be nice if Honda did release Type-R variant of the J35. A nice good bye to show the world what Honda can do with NA V6.

Meh, not really always the case. There's a saying in engineering that the simpler you can keep things, the better. American terms, modernize a simple design that works. GM kept improving upon the small block push rod V8 engines such as the LS series. While Ford wanted to change the envelope as much as they can, pushing the next best design out always such as the DOHC 32V V8 Coyote. They both make the same horsepower but one is much simpler.

[@joey_f4ke238]

One of the best surprises of my life was my 2004 Saturn VUE with the J35 engine. I got rid of it at 235,000 miles as no one could figure out why my AC clutch had a mind of its own. (I should have dug deeper, as it WAS fixable). I used Mobil 1 with 10,000 intervals for my oil changes and it never leaked nor used oil. Not a drop. I now have the J35Y in my 2015 CrossTour and, well, I'm just not sure I'll ever have another car without a J35Y engine. (My vanity license plate on my CT is "J35Y 278" to represent the engine type and horsepower.) I think Honda did us all a disservice by removing this engine's availability from the Accord.

You forgot about VCM. VCM is present in many J35s and has caused some issues. Some VCM J35 engines are also prone to premature camshaft wear.

[@Npc5150]

That camshaft wear was due to the rocker shaft bridge being torqued incorrectly from the factory. There was a TSB about it. Either way, VCM was always a load of unnecessary problems (keyword being unnecessary). There is another common issue with J series rear bank cams being spalled. That seems like a valve clearance or oil supply issue (to the head). You'll find a LOT of J series that "tick" and it sounds like a valve issue, but NOBODY knows what the sound is. It's not valves, because the noise isn't present for the first 15 seconds after startup. I've found countless people with this issue. Also, the original service manual scheduled valve lash adjustments for "when noisy." Major mistake. Other shops have found that valve lash adjustments were necessary after only 20K miles on most J series.

Timing belt engines are a little more forgiving about oil changes and because the belt is a maintenance item they make it accessible and easier to change. Timing chains are supposed to be good for the life of the engine but when things go wrong it's supper expensive to fix.

I've been on the fence on what motor to swap in my Baja Beetle...I was thinking a NA Subaru EJ25 for the longest time but have been seeing guys recently with Honda J-Series in a Baja. 🤔

[@stevec8861]

Sorry, had to give a thumbs down for not mentioning VCM problems, timing belt and cam pitting. Best bet is disable VCM via one of the many easy to install aftermarket devices, unless you don't mind burning ~qt oil ever 1000 miles, going through cat converters and engine mounts more often. Nothing you can do about timing belt beside changing every 105K miles and hope the tensioner doesn't fail in between TB changes, in which case engine is gone. Engine from a so called quality make like Honda should have timing chain, not belt. Honda cams suffer pitting wiithout the zinc levels oils of yesteryear had. Don't expect Honda to fix any of this on future years of this engine. There will be no more R&D to improve this engine given direction industry is going with hybrids and electric vehicles.

Very well put .

[@jmu2980]

I have a 2009 accord exl 3.5 vcm with 170k miles did timing at 150k … still running strong. It does burn more oil than normal but that started at around 140k so I check it once in a while. Other than that, I’ve had non of the issues you mentioned. Most people don’t keep cars that long and rack up 170k miles.

And the Crosstour! Dont forget about us!

[@ahmadtajy7178]

Finally! Now do a Nissan TB48DE

[@shaunkoger8905]

Good to know I’m going to see what I get out of my j35 accord

[@basilfabian05]

my 05 rl makes me wish it had a k series. Im always chasing smoke from the exhaust or valve adjustment issues 😭

[@sebestiensoliz8831]

I have a 2006 Acura MDX 3.5L. I'd like to swap out the IM for a 3.7L , but not sure from what vehicles or years, can you make a suggestion? Hopefully I won't need a bigger TB, or do I get it with a larger TB? Will it consume more gas for the extra power? I'm a subscriber!

[@kjw763]

i had a 2011 j35 2dr, it was stupid quick and damn reliable.

[@christophermariscal6207]

Can you remake this video or do a update for the new j seres engin with it dull cam inside of single cam engine

[@jordancourse5102]

I have a '14 Honda Accord v6 Sedan and this car is quick. I'm glad I got it. I may just get a turbo or it later on.

[@brentbeardsley655]

Same year and model. These are the biggest sleepers on the road. Put it in sport mode, take off the traction control and hang on. A family sedan with an attitude.

[@jordancourse5102]

@@brentbeardsley655 for real the gears are pretty solid too in sport mode.

[@No_Transitory]

Seeing a supercharged J35 honda pilot blew my mind.

[@Dmanpeterson]

Hopefully interest in this engine picks up and a better ECU/Tuning option pops up.

Most reliable v6 ever with good power: J35 Simply the best V6 ever: VQ35HR

Where can I find the aftermarket "J pipe"?

[@sebestiensoliz8831]

I have an Acura MDX 2006. Id like to swap out the Intake Manifold with a J37 Intake Manifold. Which vehicel can I get it from and can it be a Magnesium IM? Great info, thanks.

How are you can I installed a 2012 crosstour 3.5 heads in a 3.7

[@user-w395]

hello having trouble finding any info or books on color code for main bearings J35 code on the block is CCCCC and crankshaft journal CC on top of 46569 thanks for any help

Question will the J35A or what's the best V6 Honda motor fit my 1998 honda Accord V6

[@richardederer5331]

Well so much for everything I need to know. I was hoping to hear the difference in the variance between the a1 - a9 etcetera

[@davidt.6415]

Great content, do you plan on doing a video on the bmw v8s? m60 m62 and s62 :)

[@stevenatwater7298]

Does anyone know if there is anyone who has figured out a way to mount this to a manual transmission and mount it longitudinally?? Any applications?

[@harry5790]

Thank you, I love my J35 in my Acura MDX. Could you tell me why my engine has more power than a Honda Odyssey and other V6 Honda models have any modifications? MDX is very heavy but with 4 wheel drive it goes like a bullet

[@FELiPES101]

Is the nsx v6 derived from the j35?

[@jaxketchum]

But they have adapted in to hybrid drivetrain. Acura RLX and or Honda legend 2012+

Is there a manual tranby for the J35 either 5 or 6spd. What cars can with the manual

How do I know If my 2008 accord 3.5 L V6 - VCM is a J35A or a J35Z? Is there any difference between them?

[@DeeRuss]

If yall have this 3.5 with vcm disable it by installing the aftermarket wire it will save your engine!

[@user-jr1hm3jw2i]

So how likely is it to mess with the honda pilot motor? Assuming it's still the j series. Can you still get better by swapping j pipes?

[@superfly3990]

With a Acura TL Type S, Honda Odyssey, Honda Accord V6, and an Acura TLX I have a total of 4 J35's. Two questions... Is this typically an interference engine and l, if driven moderately, can the timing belt go for 150K miles ?

[@NoBaconForYou]

I've got a 2010 Accord Coupe V6 6MT. Real quick, but I'd love to modify it and get it tuned. The engine is great but it can be even better. I'd even like to try to swap in an LSD someday, when I have another car to daily. At that point, my Accord will become a track car. People will be surprised to see an Accord on a track, they will be equally surprised by how fast it is going
