Newbee here to the forum........I have an 94 LS and wanted to know how do i know if I have.....

a. Type I or II motor
b. Amerian/Japan
c. true hp from factory


I'm looking for things to do to make the car quicker but not crazy LOUD or a gas guzzler.

U should have a type II on the front runner of the intake manifold,
is it a coupe or sedan? coupe than it came with a type 2 sedan it did not come
if it is a jdm motor, it will have a H honda symbol on the driver's side fuel rail cover, usdm will not

hope this helped u man

Ken,
Pic # 2 right side is for the Legend, how about the RL? I want everyone to see the RL's cylinder head height vs the Legends. Think you can get the block height comparo too?

I was looking through some old posts and just now saw this, sorry for the delay. It turns out that the heads are actually the same height. What they did to compensate for the added deck height on the 3.5 was move the intake ports lower in the RL heads, thereby offsetting the difference.

im not a mechanical wiz or anything, but boring a cylinder is something i know about, I wouldnt do it. shortens the life of the motor to much especially with as little room as there is to work with. It wouldnt take long for the cylinder to start getting a convex shape and wear out the pistons. I raced motorcycles for years, and have gone thru this many times. Dv8 has the right idea 3.5l if you can do it.

I do have a question, hoping maybe DV8 could answer if not I might have to start a new thread, just had an interesting convo with a colleague of mine, he suggested a deck plate and stroking the rod length, now if my info serves me right the C35 crank and rods wont work in a C32 block, is this true?

Yeah, I posted about it in another thread recently. The thrust washers were relocated to a different journal on the 3.5 vs. the 3.2. Also the 3.5 crank counterweights contact the block slightly on the 3.2. So it's not easily feasible. Also, if you were to run a deck plate you'd run into the same problems with the intake manifold fitment that DV8 went through.

don't believe he had a clearance issue chris. WE need torque..but obviously with a longer stroke we will never be able to REv as long..., boring is great..but we would need to do new sleeving or come up with better cooling methods.

Quick question:

NSX is up to 290hp..but less torque i think???, with a shorter stroke...=revs higher...so is this because of it being DOHC...or the valve sizes etc. What is its compression ratio?? cant remember...just curious how a similar block creates 60hp more?? notice i said similiar..

yup Sound Performance build alot fo stuff for Titan, I also think AMS in Shaumburg does alot for them as well. I dont think people realize how much Industry and Machine work goes on here in the midwest, I think they expect us all to be cornbread fed, milk drinkin, cow tippers or something. BTW Ben, SP has a dyno and I know for a fact they aint far from UTI. ( http://www.sound-performance.com/ )

Kenso, that last post of yours was awesome, where did you find that info? I usually dont see anything that in detail unless it's on the computer systems in the dealers I worked for. Is that a mitchell manual? Regardless thas a very good quality shop manual

There was a shop that put out a few sick supra's right off the freeway in the U district in seattle, right by the Husky stadium exit...anyone know who that was?

There are too many variables that determines the power of the engine. :turban:
