@rolliepollie94 The rated hp is usually the power output at the crank and not at the wheels. Friction and drag within the transmission, axles and wheels will take off anywhere from 10-60 hp off of the rated numbers.
@crackstah5150 Give or take, about 20%, it all depends on the amount of resistance the drive train and other moving parts of the vehicle have. Sorry if I dont make any sense at this moment... in need of sleep hours...
285 to the wheels? Dude if u told me u did Cai, P2r TBS + IM spacer, UR pulley, and a COMPLETE exhaust upgrade ( PCD kit, J pipe, HFC or 3rd cat delete, and catback) then maybe u hit those numbers around 285 to the wheels. With just Cai and catback there is no way in hell ur hitting.
I have an 07 TL (non Type-S) and put a true cold air intake and opened up the exhaust with Magna Flow from the Cat back.... and I'm putting around 285 to the wheels.
@jamesherrera4 about your 285 WHEEL horse tl-s; no disrespect, but i'm calling bullshit. on a dynojet, this should make around 240-245 to the wheels with 15% drivetrain loss, so there's no fucking way you gained 40+ WHEEL horse with an intake and catback. it's not turbo, so your intake is adding 10 crank horse at best, along with 10 crank horse for your exhaust. why lie? show proof, or silence dude
@KamZ94 ya i agree with all of that. 328 goes against A4 and so on along with and i think that an Rs4 or something should go against the M3 but in my opinion audi is a tad weak in that class
I'm guessing this is an auto Type S.. 6-speed puts down a little more WHP.. The automatics in Honda's kill their performance....Thank god I bought this in a 6-speed because its honestly one of the best manual transmissions I've driven...even comparing to a G37 S sedan. that's not to say that the Type S can beat the G37 S, no it wont, but the transmission feels a lot better in the Acura..The overall feel, the engine and exhaust sound, the smooth quick shifts and close ratios, remind me of the NSX
@13kmakarenko However its not an NSX. I have an 07 type S 6spd aswell and yes it is alot faster than the auto. My cousin just bought a 370z and he gets me every time. Cant wait to trade this baby in for the 2011 g37 IPL coupe or M35h and smoke him lol (hopefully). IMO Acura has let us down, no coupe worth buying and they are focusing alot more on fuel economy than making cars faster. When im spending over 40k i could care less about 2 or 3 mpg. Bring back the NSX , CLS or a decent V8 or gtfo.
@suckdeepjust1singh Not trying to be a dick but they are coming out with a new nsx within the next couple of years, they have spy videos on youtube of it on the track.
@NitrousNick09 Finally, its about time. I read an article on motor trend on the new NSX but its going to be a hybrid and will share the accord platform with a 2.4 or 3.2. I doubt they are going for the all out performance of the GTR tho.
Those numbers are spot on for an A/T tl-s...6 speed TL-s`s put down 236 to 240 to the wheels...The J35 is restricted from factory...add an intake, cat deletes, test pipe and an upgraded J-pipe....you`re looking at 265-270 to the wheels and a good 30 ft/lbs of torque at mid-range...perhaps more.
Right there isn't anything different between the 286hp TL and 300hp TL Acura was just worried about TL cannabalizing RL sales if they both had 300hp. Of course with the TL now having SH-AWD it's happening anyways...Even now Acura/Honda still makes better MT's than AT's
Best comment on youtube. 230whp is awesome. Unless you really care about tenths of seconds in 1/4mi times, just buy what you think drives/looks nicer between the TL-S, IS350, A6, G37 etc etc etc. All these cars are fast enough to be enthralling as a daily driver, so unless you wanna get a new g37S 6speed and gut/mod the entire car for a 12s 1/4mile, just get what car is gonna make you happiest. You can't measure owner experience, which is MOST important. Buy what you love...
They say that these are soposed to be able to beat stock for stock a 08 si and those numbers dont agree.
My friends 96 v6 mustang camed and other mods put down 220 rwh and he only weighs about 3000 lbs and I smoke him every time and these things weigh about 3300 lbs so tell me what is wrong with these numbers please?
I wish I had my car in the road today ( 08 civic si with the new jackson racing s/c ) I wanted to race one of these..... even tho im at like 250- 260 whp, Nice car man and great color !!!!
i'm not suprised I owned an 05 Altima SE-R and Have an 07 Type-s. My SE-R was faster but it had a cold air intake. i always wondered how much power got to the wheels. I think both cars are really close. now I think i'm going to go get my Type-s dynoed, I just installed a cold air intake on it n i'm getting curious
I dont no there is a guy on here who dynoed his 3.5SE 6-Spd Altima and put down 226HP and I thought that was a little weak, Hay is this NoLimit on long island, if so maybe I will see ya around my 08 Altima 3.5SE 6-SPD is ready to take on a new Type-S
looks like this number came from an AT.
