Acura wanted to main their general reliability reputation but they went too big on the nerfing of the tuning for this car… But I get you, acura was too conservative with tuning, the engine and transmission is very capable. Shawn from P2r assessed it and said it’s capable… I have my hopes high tho, heavy cars can go fast, with right mods and running I see this car being a complete animal. Lol type s is a great car that was… well, over hyped…it deserves a type s badge but it was hyped as if it was a type r…..

@@RaY_77W I agree with literally every word you said. That said, Acura could’ve still squeezed 30 additional horsepower out of this engine easily, but from what I heard this 3.0t is actually not the original 3.0t that was planned.

@Hot Curry, ::Edited:: I didn’t know that, but just read that the new J30-AC, DOHC engine actually features variable valve timing, but not electronic valve lift control. Variable valve timing & valve lift control is a proven strategy to bring a flatter power curve to normally aspirated engines. Where turbocharging suffers is with “turbo lag”. Twin turbo designs and also Honda’s “variable flow” turbo design partly remedies that shortcoming.
@Snookynibbles11 ай бұрын
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.

Hopefully in the future models they either reduce its weight or bump up the hp a bit.

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 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.

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???

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
@Sakratic3 жыл бұрын
How? Take a look underneath the TLX Type S. Compare the components and architecture (materials) with real performance sedans....you'll easily see this car is compromised! Don't buy this. You'll have to strip everything out and then you'll still just have a platform that started out as an average high volume platform for the Accord...not a platform designed from the ground up to be all about performance.

That means it’s exactly as advertised, 355hp at the crank is equal to 285hp to the wheels for an AWD vehicle once you calculate drive train loss. So this simply means, Acura did not overrate nor underrate the power output of this engine.

It will be extremely interesting to see what comes of this car with some tuning. Everyone says the NSX is such an underrated super car. If tuning this type-s brings it to anywhere over 400hp and I still get that Acura reliability that would be legendary.

@@stanleydogood8874 considering, the 2.0t TLX runs 336 wheel horsepower with just a stage 3 tune which is around 420hp at the crank, I’m thinking closer to 500hp for this 3.0t, as 400hp is way too easy to achieve.

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

It’s actually 355hp, 286 is to the wheels which is not bad, it just needed more power given its weight. Also, you said $60k, assuming you’re in Canada, because the MSRP for this car is at $52k in the states. The Canadian MSRP for a C300 cabriolet is at $59,900 and that car has 255hp at the CRANK which is exactly 100hp less than the TLX Type S. By your logic, that car is an even bigger joke.
