A turbo J-series Integra is my dream build. Learning a lot about boosting a J-series with the help of this channel! This is more informative than the turbo TLX at Pike's Peak video!
Great video 👍 thanks for sharing! J's are so underrated, mainly due to their limited aftermarket support...there are options tho, if one looks hard enough, Inc smaller race shops that can fab parts. Your best friend is a tuner with a CNC machine ;)
That is why I am running nitrous as well. With the way ATP has designed the turbo upgrade for the Focus ST Ecoboost engine, it staddle it with a GT25 exhaust housing and unlike most ST owners I run a GTX3071 because I needed enough turbo to make 500+ hp. However for the speeds in the 1/4 mile and 1/2 mile want to reach I need 600-650 hp. So instead of introducing more lag into the equation, I run what I feel is the largest street turbo on the car and hit it with nitrous to make whatever power I want. As long as you can monitor pressure ratio between backpressure and boost which is what this man is doing on his J series you can bring more air to the table with nitrous than with just boost. Manley H beam rods are good to 600+ so I'm not concerned.
There's a misconception in the industry that nitrous is an easy power adder, and if you want 300 hp, just add a 300 hp nitrous kit and you're done. With a turbo engine however this isn't always the case. Of course the nitrous can add the required oxygen directly into the combustion chamber but the problem is that we still need to get the increased mass of exhaust flow through the turbine housing of the turbocharger. The net result is that if you're already near the limit of your turbocharger and exhaust manifold pressure is sky high, adding nitrous is unlikely to give you the kind of power improvement you'd expect based on the size of the kit.
Whats the beef im seeing in the comments between K and J fans? Honda is Honda. I love them all. From B to H to F to K to J. D and SOHC F put in work too.
Any ideas on how a J series motor in a hatchback like that would work for a road course car? I like the potential the motor has, and have considered doing the swap for a weekend canyon carver and for occasional track days. I've also toyed with the idea of creating a RWD conversion with the J series. My biggest concern would be weight distribution and handling as a RWD car with that setup. Any thoughts or resources to point me towards?
What's shocking is this video didn't even touch on the J2K kits that were already out way before this video. K Series already has DOG BOX transmissions that can be used on on J.
J series FTW!!! Obviously as I have a Turbo J32a3 7th Gen Accord (Check out my channel). Guys don’t let the secret out, people still think J’s are shit, keeps the cost down for me!! LOL
Woe... Question. Why does cylinder fire order effect the ability to use dual scroll turbo features. I didn't think it would matter if one crank revolution covers all cylinders regardless.
@@carlcomputer9686 gotcha! So setting up a dual scroll turbo on a flat plane crank is an ideal situation because of nearly resonate exhaust pulsing? Or at least getting as close to that scenario as possible is ideal.
The challenge is routing the exhaust runners in the right firing order to take full advantage of a split pulse housing. This isn't difficult in an inline 4 or 6 cylinder engine but in a V configuration engine with a single turbo application the routing of the runners can become problematic depending on firing order. The J35 firing order (1-4-2-5-3-6) however allows one bank to be plumbed to each side of the split pulse housing while achieving the correct firing order into the exhaust housing while keeping the plumbing simple. This isn't possible for example on an LS V8 where the firing order (1-8-7-2-6-5-4-3) includes two cylinders on the same bank in succession.
what was et? how can I get in touch with Aaron? Or anyone for J questions? I hear their is a ktune standalone now supporting the j. What is the major difference with the j32a2 head? which intake ended up being the best?
@Shannon Day Thanks dude. Not just wanting to be different for the sake of being different in this case. There was forethought in picking the biggest engine offered with the most cylinders. If they had a V8 I would have attempted that no doubt :P
@@g-mech1244 not 100% sure about the j30 but I know the j32a3 and the j35a8 have iron sleeves. I have both. Aaron should either have the j35a4 or a5. Not 100% sure about it but regardless, they're all open deck. So it's probably has some sort of support to the sleeves. There are few methods to get it done to stock sleeve

1500-2000hp in these J series engines is about the equivalent to 1000-1400hp in the k series & b series because 1400-1500hp is really pushing it in a 4 cylinder
its a vtec in a 3.5L 6 cylinder, these motors are good for close to if not 2000hp and they put more weight over the front wheels than the b series and the k series. they are currently working on dog box trannies & sequentials for the j series
This car needs AWD really bad. I don't see much point in having an engine that can make so much torque but has to wait until 4th gear to use most of it.
RWD, FWD, AWD, no matter what option they all have their challenges, and some people enjoy a different challenge to others which is great for variation imo :) - Taz.
I dont disagree at all and have strongly considered doing the swap to AWD. The original goal of the car was to use it as a test bed for Traction Control setup. The AEM doesnt have any TCS tuning done in any basemap so I wanted to be able to see the best strategy for controlling 2WD (and even AWD) traction in the worst possible enviroment, FWD and high torque. Believe it or not I still put down a fair amount of torque in 1-3 gears but 4 and 5 are 800 ft lbs peak. It will see something like 380 in 1st, 480-490 ft lbs in 2nd, and 550 in 3rd.
Thanks for the reply. Just imagine feeling all 800wtq in the lower gears and not have to let off and loose power/momentum with every gear change. I'm guessing that would use a setup similar to the one found on the AWD 6 speed Acura TL. Wonder if doing an AWD auto swap would be possible because that would take a bunch of shock load off the drivetrain and be more consistent and quicker by not loosing any boost between shifts.
The engine radiator is mounted horizontally and is 31x11x2.5 from Griffin. It was originally meant for a Jeep Cherokee, I also added a swirl pot where the battery would be normally located. Total coolant capacity is 4 gallons, max temp observed is 186*F. The air to water has an ice tank in the passenger footwell.
Taz - are you the host in the video? I watch a ton of your videos, love them. One suggestion would be a little more action in the video's after or before the review......or both. I'm sure others would agree they would like to see the car that was reviewed, also shown in action.
Nope, Andre is the face and brains there. We do try get as much race footage etc as we can, but not to the point that it comes at the expense of this sort of knowledge as that is and will always be the main focus. There are plenty of channels out there already that nail a lot of great racing footage, but not many with the tech behind it all like this ;) - Taz.
When you interview people, I can see you keep the conversation intense with the mic all in their face and shoving questions down their throats while you stare them down. Lol. Chill out man
Yes that is correct, the microphone is there so you can hear them, and eye contact instead of looking disinterested out into the fields yonder 😉 These are pretty noisy and busy (with visual distractions) events so it's not always as easy and effortless as you might think you nail every interview perfectly each time, but Andre does his best and by far has more hits than misses for you guys. I think so anyway, you are welcome to disagree though. Also if it ever came to a fight to the death with anyone he's interviewed a bit of an intense look does give him a head start - Taz.
Its essentially an SFWD car with the exception of the J series and a synchro transmission. There have been 3.5 +/- years of development so if you added it up that way it would seem expensive. If you built it like it was here it wouldnt be too bad, maybe 30-35k in parts and cage, labor is whatever you can do or have to pay for though so that can be all over the place. This coming year with a sleeved block and dogbox it will continue to increase in investment.

That would be a nice build! I have a built J35 Accord Coupe at the moment, considering a J swapped CRX next :)
Best host and best high performance info out there!
Great video 👍 thanks for sharing!

Great video guys, really cool Honda there.
J2k kits came out recently and this is going to change the game for j swaps. I hope aftermarket starts supporting this easy to find big engine
These interviews are great, I love the details and theory - make them twice as long 👍
I've got all day for these guys.
380 views in 1 hour? Honda baby 💪
😂😂
Lets see a k20 so that! J series 4 lyfe! Best Honda engine ever made
@Sergio Aguirre hes a hater because he got less aftermarket for his j lol
@Sergio Aguirre lmao
@Sergio Aguirre hell yeah
C-Series definitely is
I have a J SERIES 3.0 v6 VTEC accord and she fuckin shits and giiits lol I love it!!!!!
good back and forth between these two
These videos are so well done. Filled to the brim with information from the leaders in this industry. Thank you.
The owner reminds me of a awesome NCO that I had while in the Army!
thanks for putting these tech talk videos up! Then are very interesting and informative. By the way you are a good interviewer.
I wonder if Andre has anything to do with the RUclips posting and commenting side of things. Its always the other guys that reply it seems.

men nice setup fr 💯 & been waiting to see a j swap & awd fr gonna be something else really
Love a host that knows what he's talking about!
This is a good example of the j series engine. Good job on the Interview.
Very Helpful. Have. 98 and definitely want to build after school.
Super cool build and good interview on both sides, much appreciated for the video!
I appreciate the video. I need to see more of the car/ build.👍
Best video ever! I learned so much.
Ah, english racing, thought I recognized that green color ;) a real OG when it comes to turbocharged hondas!
03 block here as well i love my honda😂
Great interview as always. Love the content!
Definitely need to get some runs in
Great questions, great answers, and awesome guys.
Awesome interview great technical details you got a dub from me
Sub
oh saw this on 1320 the other year when it was 800hp.
Love Honda's... subscribed!! 😎👍👍
Glad you enjoyed the video! Check out this one here from the same event as well :) - Taz. ruclips.net/video/oBr6sW_r2Jo/видео.html

AMD THAT IS WHY I DRIVE AN 08 TL.
Great video
im as stoked as the guy in the background at 1:14
Show your mum! - Taz.
How lucky am I? I'm 20 minutes south of ETS.
2.5 hours south of Speed factory.
Now if I only had money to have a car built.
Hahahahahaha
On your 800+hp setup, what ecu did you used? AEM 30-6051?
“The 4 cylinder is less reliable for making a lot of horsepower”
Myles: *clears throat* are you sure about that
The owner looks scared of the host because he's leaning so much lol
another A+ video.
Thanks Brian! Glad you enjoyed it! -- Taz.
DAMN THATS A BAD HONDA N :19 PRETTY NICE TOO
J series FTW!!! Obviously as I have a Turbo J32a3 7th Gen Accord (Check out my channel). Guys don’t let the secret out, people still think J’s are shit, keeps the cost down for me!! LOL
I can see a 1000hp v6 supercar and a GTR behind it.
He uses the microphone like Ricky Bobby would 🤣🚘
Brb about to turn my moms TSX into a 1000HP race car
She'll be proud of you :) - Taz.

Someone in Thailand swapped a J Series motor into a Nissan Sentra
And that's me. lol I'll upload a detailed explaination video of my J35swapped Sentra in English soon.
darkcashyz do it lol

what was et? how can I get in touch with Aaron? Or anyone for J questions? I hear their is a ktune standalone now supporting the j. What is the major difference with the j32a2 head? which intake ended up being the best?
Can you use K,H,B series parts on a J series for example the pistons or rods?
what's good k series fan boys now u can gtfoh. 1000 hp + on pistons and rods
its a v6.. no one cares
@Shannon Day Thanks dude. Not just wanting to be different for the sake of being different in this case. There was forethought in picking the biggest engine offered with the most cylinders. If they had a V8 I would have attempted that no doubt :P
@@nos4me says the guy with a 4 banger
You will invest less money into a K series and more money on a J series...and k series are more simple to build. Only difference to me.
@Skynet Cyborg true lol k and b series better than j seres lol haters everywhere.
I’ll be nice to see this guy get together with Daniel Rodriguez with he’s AWD civic just saying
that much power on stock sleeves! are they frm sleeves on the 3.5?
Depends on the Jseries. Most Js have iron cylinder liners so they can take a beating.
@@PiterStreak I thought that the j30 and j35 were frm and the j32 was iron sleeved.

What mounts ?
You guys know where I can find the tube frame for the front in on this car?
It was all custom fabbed in our shop
John Bradley ;ok thanks. Contact information please?

How hard would it be to make this AWD
Anything is possible if your cheque book is big enough to be fair - Taz.
Not hard. Buy an adapter to use a k series trans. Then just use K awd trans and everything involved in going K AWD

How you cooling it?
J series barely takes up more room under the hood. Standard radiators are used.
@The LOL_FIT Drag Car Project Yes I was mate.
It has a water to air intercooler. The tank is in the cabin next to the driver.
