Old style Rating = 270hp....New style Rating = 258 for 2004-2008 3.2l J32a3 motors. It is just a more "accurate way" to read horsepower. 6-speeds put abour 215whp-220whp stock on the dyno which makes 258hp SAE rated more accurate. Same engines for 04-08...Only thing that MAYBE different is the ECU since 07-08 are able to hold 1st gear in manual mode (Auto TL) while 04-06 auto TL it auto shifts.
Dude read up on it...It's the same engine, but the SAE changed their evaluating standards...not like i give a shit or nething, but i got a 2006 and did my research. trust me, or not, just look it up. It's the same damn engine.
My Cousin has an 05 and we went to an Acura Dealership just back in April and we asked which ones are faster and the guy said the ones produced from 04-06 .
@TheChamp531 now i just pulled this from wikipedia
It is powered by a 270 hp (201 kW); later revised to 258 hp (192 kW), based on the new SAE measurement standard for horsepower and 233 lb·ft (316 N·m) of torque, 3.2 L 24 valve
MIKEHUNTLSITCHY fuck off. acura tl is a fun car to drive. im 16 driving a 2002 tl. i put a TB spacer from Power Rev Racing. and now planning on putting a V2 AEM.
BTW_this video is awsome because.... IT STAYS IN VTEC BABYYYYY
No shit lawl, you fuck off I drive one too I have as much opinion in this as you do, if TL came in manual I'd be a little better. 3g TLS are amazing even in semi-auto, but they also cost a lot more.
Oh yeah there fawkin is, want to know what I found out? First, the exhaust towards the is bent, the engine cradle frame is totally f'd bent very hard the engine sits back 1-2inches, the stabilizer bar hits the lower left control arm do to frame damage as well, it's in horrible shape, full tank I'll barely make 400miles, my friends BMW pulls out 800-850miles on a tank. The car is on eBay not (the TL) reserve set to $4,500.00. Damages will cost about $1,000.00-$1,500.00 depending on parts.
oh I really like how they look though, I'm sure it's easy to get the same look though. Either way if my car don't sell on eBay, then I'm putting a lot of money into it to make it drive like I want.
I noticed you got the UR lightweight pulley for your auto but not for you manual? Any particular reason?

Is the 2004 and 2005 the same engine ? 3.2 L ? Except for TLS 3.5 ?
Johnzx2 2 years ago
04-06 only comes with a 3.2L engine. 07-08 has a 3.2L and optional 3.5L Type S engine.
btak49 2 years ago
And 04 TL stock has 270 hp ? or 258
Johnzx2 2 years ago
Well dude 04-08 has the same engine, but the SAE rated differently starting in 06, so they are all 270hp, and 258hp with the new standard.
ArjunSinghAhuja 2 years ago
I'm gonna have to disagree with you on that .
2004-2006 Acura TL : 3.2L V6 with 270 hp.
2007-2008 Acura TL: 3.2L V6 with 258 hp .

lol wrong because the dealership are stupid. Check anywhere on the internet. SAE correct of the 04-08 base models are all 258 HP.

Are you retarded? Learn to read, I own the car and I know everything about it.

@BlazinChikn23 They all got the same engine.. just rated differently.

@Johnzx2
Exactly, when the TL's were refreshed for 07-08, THEN they had this whole 258 HP bullshit, but it's up to you to believe it or not.

TLS are so gay I have a 2001 I swear it's a 3.2l that gets worse MPG then my broths Zo6 and it's like 5.7L or 6.2L or something.
MikeHuntIsItchy 2 years ago
thats because you touch ur self at night!
my TL gets 35 mpg, seems like u need to put the premium gas in, clean our ur EGR ports and not drive with ur foot to floor.
corvettes are sooo gay cus people don't know how to drive them and spin them out all the time .

Dude.. The 05+ TL's are a completely different story compared to a BASIC 2G TL. To call all TLs gay is just dumb.

I own a black 05 TL. Such a great car. The type S isnt THAT much faster.
