So excited to watch this build, hopefully the tuning can eliminate the auto upshifts. Then I'd definitely buy one.

just got my type s last week. Please let’s keep the ball rolling. Cant wait to see what this thing is capable of

Damn y’all are holding out on us!! Can’t wait until you guys start producing parts.

“I’m very disappointed with those numbers”He hit the nail on the head . This car should have at least 400HP with all the hype. To me they type S badge means nothing. There was really nothing special about the older type S models . Acura should have learned from their missteps in the past and make the type S really mean something this time around.

Sick!! Can't wait to see this car have fully unlocked potential! Great video

Ok but the up shifts sound beautiful 🤩🤩

yup Honda came late to the party and still managed to dropped the ball. but like all Honda engines there is potential. looking forward to this build series. keep up the great work

So many critics of the Type S where the matter is based upon the Publix’s misunderstanding of the manufacturer’s intent with their Type S badge. As far as straight-line performance & handling goes, Acura calibrates their flagship badge against their model’s base offering, not against all the competitors. In handling, Acura’s SHAWD is technologically stellar. Considering the TLX, the car is available with 1.) a 270 hp f.I. 4cyl, 2.) with the 290 hp sohc V6 n.a. motor, and 3.) the 355 hp dohc f.I. engine. The Type S is at least 3/4 sec. faster to 60 than the n.a. J35 engine. P2R in a prior video gave opinion that the new 6 bolt main dohc block is capable of huge power gains when modded to the limit.

Great content as always, look forward to seeing where you guys take the Type S. 😎💪🏼

Love these videos and the Type S content! Keep it up

Stock may not be as fast as the competition but to me its by far the best looking. If it had 50 more hp stock itd be a perfect car in its class imo. Its sounds great and is still a really fun car to drive stock. The handling for a car that weighs as much as it does is really good. The acura engineers did an amazing job for sure. Hopefully in the future models they either reduce its weight or bump up the hp a bit.

What a rip off glad I didn't bite. 13.7 That's slower than my 2006 Chrysler 300c srt. Great vid tho guys

its sad that its slow because its so beautiful

I like how he says the exact same thing in two locations wearing a different outfit lol

I’m very excited to see you guys building the type-S, i was very disappointed with the stock results, this car is unworthy of the “type S” badge, but if honda’s 2.0l turbo charged engine can be tuned to produce over 300 hp and sometimes nearly 400 hp with TypeR turbo, i think with right tune, this engine can produce +400 hp easily, also have to reduce the overall weight.

That sh-awd is such a great system but it adds so much weight its crazy

Nice work fellas!

I don't think Acura expected the EPA bb the tuning market before they dropped this vehicle. Well they did.

Acura plainly just wanted to capture a market niche for sales. Even deniers know Honda can do wonders when (not if) they want to. I’m glad it’s out if your common Ricer’s price range cuz if I see one all riced up I’m going to ram it.

Yes, changing the heads and completely building it from the ground up will make it the fastest in the world, but at what cost? I’m sure for the average owner this is not what they signed up for. Best of luck.

Gonna drop down to 12.9 with the tune I bet...Acura held this car back so much with weight and power.I feel like theres deff another 40hp or so to get out of that engine for sure..I know top end with the tune will be strong and make this a decent highway car...handles amazing tho iL say that steering response it instant on this thing 0 delay....when tunes come out some people gonna gut the back seats and have these things flying I bet lol

Guys, I just realized 286 whp is the same as the old TL type S 286 bhp! Did Acura drop an Easter Egg?

DEf looking forward to what you do with this platform....... kind of shocked it's basically no faster than a 1G V6. With boost at least there is more tuning potential, but damn.

280 to the wheels? Darn, I made 306whp in my NA Tuned G37 on 93 oct.

U guys should be trying a splash of e85 to see if the ecu is pulling timing. Also a oem scanner to pull some sensor data and see if IATS are super high, that would kill power. Lastly, if you could find a compressor map, maybe be reading that QR code on the turbo, u can see if the turbo is maxed out speed wise, or at least where its at in the compressor map. Id wager its small for the engine size and one of the new hybrid turbos like prl makes for the fk8 would really help.

It's crazy how weak the type s is stock. The Q50, G70, 340i, are all faster by a lot.

Big turbo- bigger injectors-down pipe-meth injection-and a proper tune - better intercooler ! Good to go

Man I can't wait to see what a tune will do to this car. Honda have always been super conservative with their motors, I have high hope for this V6. I believe you guys will be able to get this motor to push over 1000hp by the end of the year.

Impressive My TLX 2020 AWD make 14.3 sec at 96.4 mph.... in a good lunch

unfortunate car should have came with 400hp atleast im sure with tuning and bolt ons it will make them really fast but still

Ye of little faith or knowledge. Acura built a type S NOT a type R TLX. We all expected more but Honda left so much untouched potential that once the tunners get finished we will see....keep up the good work

Only good thing is this car has forged internals and awd, should take boost like a champ.

I'm sure after they crack the ECU...the haters will stop trolling. its not like this car was made only for 1/4...but idiots measure fast by that. look at the CTR...that thing destroys anything in its class on the circuit but does almost the slowest 1/4 time. there's more to a car then just 1/4. I'm sure 400WHP will be on the horizon with the stock turbo and some bolt-ons. i don't expect anything less from this if the aspec 2.0T makes that much gains after a flash.

Hopefully Acura makes the new type S faster in a couple years. 0-60 in 5 flat is not worth 45-50k

Gonna be spending a lot of $$$ just to make the car as Acura should have at the dealerships. Goodluck, I own one and they are just way too heavy. It’s a sharp looking car to cruise around in comfortably, would never consider trying to race it cuz everything will beat you lol

If one just looks at any Acura product, be it the TLX race car or NSX race car, you know that these cars will be extremely tunable..at what cost??? Less than a fully tuned BMW, Mercedes that's for sure. I own an MDX Type S and it is fine. Not everybody wants a track demon.

Let’s keep this thing rolling!

I just don’t understand why Acura detuned the engine so horribly. I was really disappointed.

High 13 is pretty 101 mph is pretty bad for the power. It's a Honda so I'm sure there's a lot of room for power once tuned👌

I don't undertsand. V6-6 Speed NA 9th Gen accords were going 100+ through the traps bone stock. Isn't unheard of to go 103-105 with a good tune and good air bolted up. Add two turbo's to the mix and.....it's slower? Really hope you guys bring out the potential in these cars, it's a huge letdown that my lightly modded '03 CLS-6 speed would've ran door to door with this car......

The mk8 golf r is going to hurt alot of feelings once it’s for sale in the U.S

everytime i see one i wanna trade my ‘16 so bad🔥🔥🔥🔥

13.7 with two simple bolt ons? That sounds... pathetic. Acura sure isn't aiming high in the performance market... That engine needs another 50-70hp from the factory to even compete in its segment.

My 93 nsx need this motor mated with a 5/6 speed trans

13.7 Hell . The 1993 Prelude VTec did 14.5

I’m confused as i had a 2006 slk55 and with 355 hp and that was a 12.7 car i think if i remember well. I figured this car would be in the high 11s. I love this car either way

Hey guys! Any news on the J-series intake manifold?

Car and Driver got a 13.6 in the quarter mile with 103 mph trap speed.

Letsss gooooo

Hondamobilemechanic has his running 13.02 @108mph with a throttle body and catless downpipe. Yall might want to share notes.

I was so excited for this car to come out and every time I see and hear performance numbers I'm so disappointed. But at least they got the looks right. My 2.0 accord is way quicker how sad is that? Should be no contest

The car is hot but should have been faster stock. My q50 redsport ran 13s stock and with a tune was low 12s. Fbo with a 93 tune got me in to mid 11s. Car cost about the same price. Was hoping for better from Acura.

You guys think on making some products for the 2.0 TLX??

Any details on your 1/4 mile run? Air temp, elevation, humidity?

Just found the channel did you start trying to reduce weight on the car yet?

The problem is the weight of the car to heavy

Sounds really good, did you guys use K Tuner to tune & if not what did you use because I just installed a full Cat-Back valtronic exhaust & will be installing a high flow test pipe for secondary cat delete & wanna know if I need to tune it

The Key to unlock this car will be the Downpipe and the Tuning. Once the Tuning comes into play I totally See 315 to 350 HP to the wheels or 400 HP Flywheel. I also see 13.0 to13.5.

thought it had 355 hp from factory

What dyno did you use i just saw a stock type s do 307 to the wheels stock af

Cat less down pipe should wake it up. Nothing new on the tuning?

286 is what a 16 year old TL type-s makes stock, and it weights 700 pounds less 😭

Q50 stock 350 whp, acura need to so somwthing with these cars.

By tune, do you mean via Ktuner?

You mean to tell me this car made 286 to wheel my 2015 tlx with a ktuner intake and a muffler delete made 306 to the wheel

Wait till k tuner or hondata comes out with something to unlock more power

Sounds like Mt n55 straight piped 😂😂😂😂

i wonder what ya can do to a non type s

Rated for 355 crank and it’s only putting 286 to the wheels? Smh

Yeah I went to the dealership and drove it I thought it was gonna be faster than my 5.7 challanger but it was slow as hell I just got the 3.3 genesis it’s way faster stock

Damn 13.7 stupid slow I ran 12.9 in my fbo genesis coupe. Really thinking about this car guess i will get a genesis g70 or kia stringer

280 to the wheels? Kind of depressing, esp. for the price. That car should make over 310 to the wheels, if the power is accurate. In that price point, the M340i will kill that thing.

Why it’s making. 286hp it if comes with 354hp don’t get … not a super car guy but don’t get it.

I say this sadly but this car shows that with Honda current leadership, Acura is set up to fail and left using bullshit marketing to try to sell it's Honda Plus cars. Plus meaning overweight and therefore not worth the premium over Hondas offerings. Just look at the TLX, it's compromised to start with lol. Acura exclusive platform LoL. It's an accord, fwd platform, that they then had to add weight to put in the sh-awd system. Then with this generation, they added more weight and length to have that rear wheel drive front axel to dash ratio look, yet another compromise. Funny actually...a fwd vehicle that lacks the advantages of a fwd platform, just to make it look rwd but with non of the advantages of a rwd platform hahaha 🤣. If they weren't cheap and if they really were serious about performance than they would have developed a rwd platform. This is not even taking into account the components they use. Look under the type S. It's not all aluminum to be lightweight lol. This shit weighs a ton!!! There's so much more but I need to stop ranting so I'll leave you with this. Where the m5 and AMG 63 as just examples were forced to add weight for AWD because they were pushing over 500hp, you have posers Acura adding AWD when they didn't need to. Look at the best example of what a Honda should be...the still relatively light fwd Honda CTR!!!! Again I'm sorry for my rant, sorry that I suck at expressing my thoughts. At least I know my limitations...I don't right speeches. I'm not delusional and trying to pull a fast one on you like Acura's doing.

Wonder how this honda transmission will handle power. Always blew my autos

Post time slip. Want to see 60ft etc

Man I love this car but the performance is such a disappointment ☹️. If Acura can make it under 4000 pounds with 50 more HP to the wheels it would clean up house! I purchased a m340i over this car even though the 340i looks worse.

Why can’t Acura make a car that can compete with BMW or even the Kia Stringer???????

Would you consider adding a TVS R900 Supercharger to the Twin-Turbo Engine?

love it! just got the 2022 type s white and red interior there was only black or white and I went with the white and red interior with all season wheels and tires but love the performance wheels!... also got the under spoilers and door edge guards and the side molding and the black accent blade and black emblems and carbon fiber interior and spoiler and the illuminated side sills, heated steering wheel and the welcome light... I'm thinking of getting 30/35 chystaline tints all around and maybe 70 on the windshield so I don't get pulled over all the time here in NY. and then the whole car ppf'd with suntek ceramic and then a ceramic coating over it...and MAYBE buying the performance wheels and having the all season tires put on them and maybe chrome delete the exhausts.. still haven't decided which I like better.. any recommendations or suggestions? or stuff I should or can do???

👍🏻

What happened to this project?

A bone stock RT 5.7 hemi runs a faster quarter mile.

Acura screwed up on the type s for sure.

Dear God🙏 in heaven, I come to you in the name of Jesus. I acknowledge to You that I am a sinner, and I am sorry for my sins and the life that I have lived; I need your forgiveness. I believe that your only begotten Son Jesus Christ shed His precious blood on the cross at Calvary and died for my sins, and I am now willing to turn from my sin. You said in the bible that if we confess the Lord our God and believe in our hearts that God raised Jesus from the dead, we shall be saved. Right now I confess Jesus as my Lord. With my heart, I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead. This very moment I accept Jesus Christ as my own personal Savior and according to His Word, right now I am saved. Amen.

How is possible that a 3.0 V6 turbocharged has around 330hp to the crank and the 9 gen accord V6 has a 3.5 V6 “N/A” with around 306hp to the crank, less than 30hp of difference, really disappointed, also the accord is way lighter so I’m not surprised if is actually faster than the Type S, the new accord 2.0T with a ktuner and better tires for more traction I think is quicker than the Type S, there is just something not right, that engine shouldn’t have such a low amount of horse power for its size, or they really detuned the engine maybe there is a type R coming with the same engine with higher output idk

I just don't get it. A 2014 Honda Accord V6 is just as fast and it's NA. I feel sorry for those who needs to spend a ton of money to make it as fast as a stock Q50 RS :(

If only 285hp to the wheels how are they calling it 354hp?? This car looks slow and heavy

downpipe, downpipe, downpipe

It’s disappointing this car makes the same power as a Elantra N but weighs so much more I’m sure it has a better mod potential but still 🤦‍♂️

honestly way too underpowered for 3.0 litter turbo engine, especially true for a single turbo, even if it's a twin scroll turbo. This car needs to have 450+ BHP from the factory. Too many automatic stuff going on on this car. Valve in the exhaust pipe? That shit's gotta go. Why dual exhaust when there's only a single turbo? That shit costs performance, need to move the CAT-converter near the end of exhaust system or just take it out completely and sell it. Needs bigger intercooler, cold air intake with ram-air setup, manual wastegate controller, more boost, steel or aluminum pipes for the turbo system with smooth airflow, heck a bigger fcking turbo if possible... and the fcking extra rotation for the rear axle? I think it's costing performance through gear binding, only reason this isn't affecting that much is because the clutch disks for the rear axle are slipping, which is wasted energy/power IMHO

I'm more disappointed with this than the nsx

Buy a bmw 340i b58 and do nothing. After car price, mods and labor on this you're well over 60k. Makes no sense

Holy fuck that’s a lot of slow for a lot of money…

Oh God that's slow

Hahahhahahha i mean this stupid sad!!! This car is 54000 and in some cases with dealers markups could go up to 65000…. In sorry this thing is stupid slow man for that price tag… you most be on drugs to try and mod a 4200 lbs with that price tag.. warranty out the window good luck

What a disappointment this car is. Sexy and slow :( Honda I hope you left a lot of tuning ability in it

Spending 60k for 286 hp car is a joke 😐

Shit is sadly so slow man
