Part 2: 300whp NA J30a4...Can It Be Done??? Local Customer Build Series_RUNNER DYNO

[@HalferLandPerformance]

Sorry guys, customer ran out of funds due to hard times and COVID. last I spoke with him he was acquiring Hondata parts to tune with us...as soon as he gets funds we will continue this series...can't force the man to spend money he doesn't have

[@oliverwilliamson5108]

Does anyone make performance parts for the j30a4 AT? cant really find anything

[@thronewalker1153]

@@oliverwilliamson5108 there is parts for auto but very little stock. Most aftermarket parts are for the manual because the auto has a hard time handling power increases.

[@kennethpowers8995]

The 5AT is iffy at best, the previous autos are even worse. Best bet is manual or keep things around 250wtq. Using good fluid that resists thermal breakdown like Amsoil helps as does running a tranny cooler but at the end of the day they really just aren’t made to hold power.

[@jowellmedina5448]

I'm so excited for this project, can't wait to see what it takes to reach your goal.

[@nbaldo003]

I enjoy the idea of this feat but it will be difficult. Big Full bolt ons (4” cold air intake, 80+mm tb, ported or swapped plenum plus p&p runners, and full decatted 3” exhaust) running on an E85 mix w a good tune will net you 270-280whp on a j30a4/5. Just have to make up that 20-30whp. Cams and head work probably would put you real close if not there. On stock bottom end that’s not too bad. I’m sure upping compression w everything else done would yield 300-310whp. Which is pretty damn good for an NA 3.0. I wouldn’t expect much more than that out of it NA.

[@HalferLandPerformance]

We would definitely have to disagree. We made 275whp/232wtq with stock cams on our J30a5 with 200k miles on it, our PnP heads and only at 11:1 compression on 93 Pump gas, with a small 2.5" CBE and full J Pipe PCD and tuned by us on Hondata. If we added our Stage 2 cams to our build we easily could have been 290-300whp... 300whp is achievable on the J30. This customer ran into money issue which is why the videos died.

[@dvs1dvs1]

Right on bro. I understand that its all about mid range gains especially on the streets. Cant wait to see the dyno#'s with more of your parts.

[@HalferLandPerformance]

dvs1dvs1 Peak does matter but not to the point so many focus solely on. A car making 280/210 peak vs a car Making 270/220 in the band will beat that higher peak power car.

[@the405show]

Nice . Im about to do the runners on a j30a4. But i want to bump up the ai manifold off a j37 and bigger throttle body as well.and a acura transmission...Turbo 1 day maybe

[@joshuayammer1994]

I’m manual swapping my 2000 accord j30a1. I have the type-s upper and lower intake, injectors, and fuel rail installed. The auto holds the j series back so much can’t wait to have the manual. I have the shifter, pedals, transmission, and axles just need the ecu and mounts and thats pretty much it. My plan is to manual swap and swap CL/TL type-s heads onto my 3.0 block. So essentially I’ll Have a 3.0l type-s. Hoping for that 250whp mark. My jdm h22a makes 230 and it’s a 4cyl so it has to make more power haha

[@0_jordan_059]

What transmission are you using I have the same car with a v6 auto

[@0_jordan_059]

Also I did the intake mod that you posted and it sounds great on my stock accord

[@BernonCars]

I’d love to see 300whp on mine

[@andydhillon1977]

I can't wait to see the next stage of this build. I know you're busy so we will patiently wait. If these engines can make close to 300 whp, that's a game changer! I really enjoy these videos. Keep up the great work! Oh, and I'm buying a shirt from your store tomorrow. Hope others do, too!

Great video man. Im about to redo my headgaskets and have my heads rebuilt by a shop. Is there anything you’d recommend me to have done to the heads? Are there any cam kits/ valve spring kits that are worth while?

[@eastindiaV]

My 2005 Honda Accord's machine spirit would like a small modular nuclear reactor, with a water-cooled system, using steam-electric generation and the Seebeck effect to replace the natural aspiration, and Dynamo. The excess power generated, should power an electric motor, nestled around the drive shaft. For an electric turbo, that runs on gas. Instead of a supercharger. It could be an airplane, with a motor jet, instead of wheels on the drive shaft, and the magnetic motor powered by a nuclear reactor could be replaced with a tesla coil, ionizing gas into a jet, through the propeller of the motor jet, forcing out in the opposite direction of the propellers rotation, to give the engine traction... powered by a nuclear reactor. That way, the airborne motor jet, could run simultaneously with the plasma jet, using the same pipe, and you could rig the propellers to run one or the other at a time also.

[@theaccordman2074]

300whp means the engine is putting 345 on the crankshaft. Is always 15 to 20% loss from the crankshaft to the wheels. See it to believe it

Got a j35 with just a bolt in exhaust tuned to 87 and I’m at 272whp ima swap out for the 3.7 manifold and throttle body tuned to 93 I’ll be over 300

[@HalferLandPerformance]

Hell yeah man...keep pushing. Our HLP Stage 2 No Limit cams will easily push you past 300....we made 316whp on our J32a3 with an older version, which our no limits version is even more aggressive

[@muftifaizan1964]

How much can you push the j35 to get the max 'power under the curve' with high compression, preferably around 12.5:1 CR , efficient headers, Ported cylinder head, intake runners , throttle body on 95 octane fuel running stock ecu , to get best max efficiency out of the engine , as j35 returns poor fuel efficiency for daily/street use

[@kennethpowers8995]

I don’t think 300whp from a stock displacement J30 is happening without some insane port work, a wicked valve job, ridiculous cams, a custom intake manifold and it’s gonna have to be running a crazy static compression so fuel will need to be E90 or C/Q16 or maybe even M5. It’s going to be a full out race build. Hell guys have to build into their NSX 3L pretty well to even make 290-300 and that is a far more robust platform than the J30. With displacement on your side it’s easy; I tune full bolt on J35/37 cars that make 300whp all the time, but most 3L hover around 250-260 even on ethanol. Some custom cams and head work will really help the cause, but I think unless your willing to run 14:1 compression and build to be able to spin the motor to 8500-9k your not gonna get that power out of 3L otherwise. And it will not be a streetable affair.

[@ivonevistic3776]

Not sure in this particular case, but there are lots of 3l 6 pot engines making well over 300hp N/A with proper tuning (not massive mods at all for that power) but i supose that depend where you are.. in my region you can see somethimes this kind of set ups!

[@cali2468]

I beg to differ that short ram does nothing. It woke up my J30a5 quite a bit.

[@HalferLandPerformance]

Cali When it comes to heat soak, it does hurt. If the motor is cool and ran shortly the freer flowing filter element does help for sure, but not when heat soaked as his car was, pulling all the hot air in from the engine bay. Trust me, I’ve ran SRI’s and would see 140* IAT’s and went to a true CAI and saw that drop down to 110-120* which picks up a lot of free power 👍🏻

[@HondaAccordPerformance]

Do you guys Recommend a short ram intake like this or would cold air intake like an injen be more beneficial?

[@joshuayammer1994]

Lower air intake temps = more power

[@thronewalker1153]

@@rotweilerdc from what I know the cl type s cam will need a very slight modification to fit the j30a1. The j35 heads are direct fit and will work. Your best bet is the 6speed manual. If you have an automatic tranny it will not like the j35 heads or the extra power. As for 200whp it is possible with a good tuning set up. You’ll need j32 fuel injectors and rail. You will have to do custom work for engine clearance but only if you don’t want to cut your hood.

I have an auto too you’d probably need more than full bolt ons but don’t forget to add lightweight crank pulley they sell it’s the best bang for your buck mod 8-10 whp. for $180. I think you’d need a set of cams and a 91/93 octane tune to see 300 out of an auto if you wanna go crazy go with high compression pistons and ported heads but if I was going that route I’d much rather of a turbo kit and call it a day 400-500whp
