Thank you for explaining what your MDX gets for gas-mileage. That Initially gave me the impression that you were getting 30+ avg, It makes sense that is just while cruising at highways speeds. I drive a lot and am getting 23.5-25.9 mpg regularly in my '03 Accord with a J30A4.

@TexasHondaChannel 2 жыл бұрын

Yea no problem and j30 are usually decent on fuel they are .5 liter smaller so that helps too. My TL with the J32 was getting 38highway when I was supercharged and it was awesome! We did a 8hr trip and averaged 38 it peaked at 40 I was blown away. Did video and all

@@TexasHondaChannel do you have confidence on rod bearings. I did the bearings on my y7 when I swapped my transmission. It wasn't original motor but the motor was covered in grease and looked older than my car but it doesn't smoke so I replace bearings only. Maybe its just me but I wouldn't trust to many hard runs on a high milage engine even if it was taken care of. I know these engines can go 300 to 400,000 miles so it might be ok for a little while.

@TexasHondaChannel 2 жыл бұрын

@@spankthemonkey3437 Honda engines are really good even higher milage ones. I run really good oil and best line racing additive to prevent premature wear. It’s been proven on lubricity testers and under extreme conditions. Im not worried about bearing failure as much as I am timing belt failure due to the stress. This car is only drove hard during these videos most the time is baby around town and highway. It has a lot of life left in her. Now it moves really good without much effort. Barely push the gas it and goes so my wife will love that when it comes to the hills.

@TexasHondaChannel 2 жыл бұрын

@@spankthemonkey3437 Also Y7 engines are TERRIBLE when it comes to bearing failure. They have 1 oil hole for cooling VS the z6 or even d15b7. The y7/y8 are the worst cranks you can have in a d series so they are prone to failure no matter what you do to them. The J series are much stronger engines but abuse or not everything fails eventually lol

We have 03 MDX that was running great until about 2 weeks ago all of a sudden starts misfiring and now is even having trouble staying running. Coils are good spark plugs are brand new now narrowing it down to the cats. No emissions laws here in New Mexico so considering a cat delete would you go that route? If so how do you work around the 02s? Is is there any kind of simulator harness for it?
