How To Supercharge a J35 Honda Pilot In SUPER Detail (Supercharged J-Series)

[@TexasHondaChannel]

Don’t forget to run 91+ octane if you are supercharged or turbocharged it’s a must! Also drop to a step colder plugs. I failed to mention that!

[@josevasquez2201]

Does it work for the j30a 01 Honda Accord V6 I would appreciated if you could give me information about that

[@billspangler2685]

Is your 03 FWD or 4WD? the pre-06 models have much weaker transmissions that usually fail much earlier. If you do this, let me know how that auto holds up under load! I'm looking for a good trans option for my 06 because the updated 4wd version of yours still isn't enough for me to run 10psi without ridiculous slip. I think the 4wd version is too complex to properly tune it or turn it off completely at my level of skill.

[@Fr1day-RT]

For the NSX you might be able to get it a 1/2 inch lower by face milling the plates and the bottom of the supercharger. You could prototype the plates in wood if you know someone with a planer. Remaking that top plate with countersunk bolts should get you a bit more if that's where it's hitting. Also you could face down the tower that the plate bolts to. Lastly maybe motor and trans mounts.

Also a infiniti q45 throttle body bolts up to a k series and the wiring for tps will match don’t know if it will work for j series but it’s cheap from a scrap yard you just need the pig tail for tps

You could run an M65 supercharger it is about 1.5" shorter, but smaller overall. This would make more heat, but the it is still plenty of displacement for the J series.

This is an Eaton M90 off of a GM 3800. There's a ton of them out there for dirt cheap online and scrapyards. They're very easy to get a hold of. There are two different versions of it which the 3800 following refers to as Gen 3 and Gen 5. Any series 2 3800 will have a gen 3, a series 3 3800 will have a gen 5. The gen 5 is better but gen 3s can be modified to perform close to a gen 5 though. Edit: The adapter is for a Gen 5 it seems. They're harder to find (04 - 08 Pontiac Grand Prix GTs ONLY) then the Gen 3s but still relatively easy.

Haven’t really worked on many nsx, however there may be a way to put spacers between the chassis and subframe you essentially lower the motor I. The engine bay. Then just correct ride height with suspension.

[@mihailpetrovici5044]

Maybe an intake to get cool air will help more with the supercharger when you will get it tuned, since you can't have an intercooler. I know they are cold air intakes but there are right in the engine bay, instead of sucking air from the fender or grill like the stock intakes

[@TexasHondaChannel]

Well it goes off road the best I can do is a snorkel lol the aftermarket intake I custom made for it works better than the stock system did but intake temps haven’t got over 110 yet so far so good. I datalogged using a expensive code scan tool my buddy has. They do make intercooler setups for these but im not too worried on it yet since the boost isn’t up high enough to worry. My supercharger civic was 200+ degrees intake temps so as long as they don’t do that I’m happy lol 😂

[@dustinsabo4790]

If I was going to make a recommendation I’d suggest an AEM F/IC as opposed to the apexi neo. I seem to remember the issue with the apexi being that adding fuel also advanced the timing. Maybe it’s different now I haven’t had one for years. The FIC will allow you to control fuel and timing independently of each other. Yeah, it’s still a piggyback but I’ve had pretty good success with them over the last 10-12 years.
