@ErwinSchrodinger643 жыл бұрын
Honda downplays the numbers on the J35 (specifically, the J35Y2). It's producing close to or more than 300hp at the crank. I used to think the J35 was seriously an underwhelming engine until you realize engines like the VQ35 and Toyota's V6, the 2GR are running DOHC, a more advanced variable valve time system, higher compression numbers, direct fuel injection, and yet, the J35 still meets or exceeds their performance numbers with low compression (10:1), SOHC, relative V-TEC system, low r.pm. (6800 r.p.m.), and port-injection. If Honda were to employ DOHC, increase the compression numbers, add port/direct injection, a more advanced variable valve timing, and increase the redline (8000 r.p.m.), I have no doubt the J35 could easily 350+ whp (410 at the crank). However, having that much technology in a Honda V6 would increase the cost considerably. The J35 is an incredible well built engine that clearly shows how Honda doesn't have to overly complicate engine technology to meet or exceed their rivals. On the other hand, it would be nice if Honda did release Type-R variant of the J35. A nice good bye to show the world what Honda can do with NA V6.

Meh, not really always the case. There's a saying in engineering that the simpler you can keep things, the better. American terms, modernize a simple design that works. GM kept improving upon the small block push rod V8 engines such as the LS series. While Ford wanted to change the envelope as much as they can, pushing the next best design out always such as the DOHC 32V V8 Coyote. They both make the same horsepower but one is much simpler.

One of the best surprises of my life was my 2004 Saturn VUE with the J35 engine. I got rid of it at 235,000 miles as no one could figure out why my AC clutch had a mind of its own. (I should have dug deeper, as it WAS fixable). I used Mobil 1 with 10,000 intervals for my oil changes and it never leaked nor used oil. Not a drop. I now have the J35Y in my 2015 CrossTour and, well, I'm just not sure I'll ever have another car without a J35Y engine. (My vanity license plate on my CT is "J35Y 278" to represent the engine type and horsepower.) I think Honda did us all a disservice by removing this engine's availability from the Accord. Toyota was smart for keeping their V6 availibility for their Camry line up.

Sorry, had to give a thumbs down for not mentioning VCM problems, timing belt and cam pitting. Best bet is disable VCM via one of the many easy to install aftermarket devices, unless you don't mind burning ~qt oil ever 1000 miles, going through cat converters and engine mounts more often. Nothing you can do about timing belt beside changing every 105K miles and hope the tensioner doesn't fail in between TB changes, in which case engine is gone. Engine from a so called quality make like Honda should have timing chain, not belt. Honda cams suffer pitting wiithout the zinc levels oils of yesteryear had. Don't expect Honda to fix any of this on future years of this engine. There will be no more R&D to improve this engine given direction industry is going with hybrids and electric vehicles.

You forgot about VCM. VCM is present in many J35s and has caused some issues. Some VCM J35 engines are also prone to premature camshaft wear.
@WhiTeaNdNeRDyreal3 жыл бұрын
That camshaft wear was due to the rocker shaft bridge being torqued incorrectly from the factory. There was a TSB about it. Either way, VCM was always a load of unnecessary problems (keyword being unnecessary). There is another common issue with J series rear bank cams being spalled. That seems like a valve clearance or oil supply issue (to the head). You'll find a LOT of J series that "tick" and it sounds like a valve issue, but NOBODY knows what the sound is. It's not valves, because the noise isn't present for the first 15 seconds after startup. I've found countless people with this issue. Also, the original service manual scheduled valve lash adjustments for "when noisy." Major mistake. Other shops have found that valve lash adjustments were necessary after only 20K miles on most J series.
@wiimaster28473 жыл бұрын
@@WhiTeaNdNeRDyreal On the Odyssey forum after seeing many users' experiences, we've come to a general consensus that a valve adjustment is a good idea at some point between 150-200k miles.

Honestly just do your maintenance on time take care of the car and it should be good just make sure you keep a close eye out on your oil because these j series are known to burn oil and change it every 5 thousands miles or so

I've got a 2010 Accord Coupe V6 6MT. Real quick, but I'd love to modify it and get it tuned. The engine is great but it can be even better. I'd even like to try to swap in an LSD someday, when I have another car to daily. At that point, my Accord will become a track car. People will be surprised to see an Accord on a track, they will be equally surprised by how fast it is going

Damn man love the v6. You missed out that the rdx went from turbo 4 to a v6. Missed the zdx has a v6. The j series was always clockwise rotation even though d,b and h were ccw. I thought this engine was developed by American Honda in the United States, would love if someone verified the last.

Question what would cause this engine (Stock) to Break timing belts? i know age , bad idler bearings,weak belt tensioner or oil on belt. But this is not the case...so what is happening? Marks perfect, runs perfect then out of nowhere it breaks at low rpm , leaving a stop light or turning corner. Happened twice less than 2,500 miles on new Honda Belt? What should I look for to solve this????
