new MDX engine name???

[shmivic]

i hear they are a 195kw v6 vtec engine
anyone no what there type is?

[jamchen]

nothing fancy there...
its still the J35A ( am i right?).. the reason for the 4 kw upgrade is because the new exhaust design ( twin pipes)

[shmivic]

still, could be a good engine for development. cheers

i doubt it much... its already has 10.0: 1 compression ratio... so slot on a turbo won't be soo that real...
plus the J35A engine is solely designed for its 4WD 5-speed gear box ( or the previous legend rear-driven) and if u search a little bit u can find that this gear box is already struggle with the present output... ( in fact there was an extended warrenty on pre 03 MDX in the states)

Freeing up the exhaust flow at the engine pipes will have to do something for power increase...the rear bank is signifigantly restricted,the front pipe not quite as bad..just not alot of room to play with where the pipes run..

Your not wrong there at all. I'm still having a battle with my honda dealership with my gearbox. Its been fixed 3 times and i'm awaiting the replacement of the box this time. I was very disappointed that it didn't come with a triptonic gearbox.

The MDX has plenty of power! We have an 03 and it flys!
