Its a bit different depending on your car. If you have the 6mt vs the automatic, butterfly in the runners or not. Essentially its a Very simple swap, Get the spacer you need and or the butterfly delete if you desire, the gaskets, and go. You can also upgrade the throttle body at the same time, as he showed you here. The ideal one you want is the magnesium one, from the Hybrids. Best flowing, and its lighter weight, and even better heat soak properties and such. New from Honda is like 700-1200 for the manifold. So if you can get THOSE from a scrap yard for a low price you can make You a bit of money easy. Not to mention a ton of friends lol.
I think it was somebody on Acurazine who did this swap way back in the day and gained 15 WHP. It's a good mod for sure (I'm running a J37A2 manifold, which is essentially the same thing, and a Blox 74 mm TB on my "hybrid" J35).
Is this the magnesium intake manifold that's lighter and heat soaks less? What's the difference between all the available upper and lower intake manifolds and TBs for the J series and how do they help/hinder certain builds and setups?
Hi, I just got a brand new j37 intake, gonna put it on the same J30 engine. Did you use a top plate with a solenoid? if not what is plugging the v shaped depression on the pass side of the intake?
Since my car is an automatic, it does not have the butterfly solenoid so to compensate all I did was get a top plate from a 08 Honda Accord if my car was a six speed, then the top plate I could reuse the Acura perfectly
@@jseriesgarage Yes, thank you I was just happen to be looking at a 2010 Accord and it has the proper depression in the and the gasket also has the v-shaped to it for the top plate.

I got permission from my chick to take the 3.7L intake manifold from her acura MDX. I'm gonna put my 3.2L intake manifold and throttle body on her acura when we trade it in 😂.

Doesnt the j37 have a bypass valve connector on the left side by the power steering pump? What did you use to connect into that connector or what intake upper cover did you use?
bellhousing is different, it would fit a eight generation accord I believe that they are making adapter plate in the near future a J32 would fit perfect
Hey man, thanks for the video. You answered quite a few questions that I had about swapping this manifold into my GEN one pilot. I do have one question though. The butterfly valve that goes on the intake plate. I did not see in your swap. Did you not need it or delete it?
For seven GEN accords automatics do not have butterfly valve. Only manual transmission, you don’t need to delete it if you have the butterfly valve originally on your vehicle
I’m looking at doing this to my 13 accord 3.5 and was wondering, 1) do you need a tune for this to work? I know a tune will optimize it but will it work fine for 6-10 months without it? 2) are there any small parts or east to overlook things that I should keep in mind. I’m planing on getting the manifold, throttle body and thermal gaskets. Probably wasn’t going to do the manifold spacer(unless necessary) until I do runners and a tune in the future.
You don't need a tune but you definitely want to disconnect the battery so your ECU can we learn and since your car is a 2013 I think there's a kit you're supposed to get don't quote me J37 Magnesium Manifold Install Kit www.heeltoeauto.com/index.php?p=product&id=204520
I have a 2006 Acura MDX 3.5L. Can I swap out the Intake Manifold for a 2008 Honda Odyssey from a Mini van 3.7 Intake Manifold? And, do I have to cahnge the TB or can I use my stock TB?
Any chance this would work if I did this on my j30a5 with an injen air intake? I don’t believe it comes with an IAT sensor im new asf to this manifold swapping and spacer stuff so I’m trying to find what manifold and throttle body to use without having to do a bunch of extra stuff
@@HigghRiise you can use the map sensor from your old original throttle body onto the j37 TB or you can use the map sensor that's on the j37 the only thing you have to do if you're going to reuse a j37 map sensor is what I did in the video grind it down The guiding tabs because they don't match perfectly
IF you want to force this you can unhook your battery and hold the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then when you fire it up the ECU will revert back to the relearn phases.
I have a 3.0 accord as well but with a k&n cold air intake and I’m wanting to put the 3.7 on but I don’t have the option to put the temp sensor anywhere? Any advice?
I put it in my cold air intake and it’s idle really bad so I’m wonder what is the measurement from the iat sensor to the cold air intake on yours I’m thinking welding a spacer
Do you have any codes? Is your check engine light on? Also check out my video how to make a custom intake that should help as well with the placement of sensor
Ordered your cold air intake lol. But I’m also stuck because the cover has the butterfly valve on the 3.7 and I don’t know how to plug it in. Did you have to wire anything?
Depends on your goals. You could get a Haltech and a throttle body from any of the dbw models and use it. Or you can find a TB that will bolt on and custom make a cable to work. Yours may even be able to be modified to work with the new TB. Jus tall depends. You could also, get an ECU and the wire harness with it from a DBW model and swap over to the new system.. again depends on what you want and your overall goals/budget.
@@jseriesgarage I haven’t figured it out, everything’s plugged in but it won’t even let me rev the car, it was sitting in a garage for a long time so I have a feeling the throttle body is bad and can’t find another
@@02glx it's very common that the throttle body is bad that that was my first conclusion this happens frequently believe it or not however I would disconnect the battery for 30 minutes and reconnect it let the computer relearn cuz that could also be the problem
Switch out your map sensor from your OEM see if that works and also get some water and soap and spray around the throttle body where it connects to the manifold to see if there is a vacuum leak DO NOT spray water directly NEAR ANY CONNECTORS
i have the same set up only diff 6mt and im having idle bounce someone know a fix for this i heard people was swapping the j30a5 throttle body motor on the j37a4 throttle body
It sounds like a vacuum leak everyone who does this swap the vast majority turned out to be a vacuum leak or a bad throttle body or the gasket is failing on the throttle body try swapping the idle air control valve sensor from your old one
Mdx 2007-2009 intake manifold the bore size is smaller identical to j35 intake manifold you would need p2r adapter so the j37 80 mm version throttle body will fit as many people prefer to go this route because the manifold is very affordable and iat sensors located is on the manifold unlike the newer version of the j37 manifold where the IAT sensor is not on the intake manifold and requires additional work

It's called a ScanGauge 2 they have a newer version they recently released called ScanGauge 3
Is ya car AT or MT is this safe for the auto?
hey bro i really liked your project can you put a link to the intake please I really appreciate it
Just bought the manifold and throttle body, for my 07
Yay or nay?
Good video my dude. Sounds like you have better throttle response. Keep up the good work and good video's.
where did you buy that aem intake ?
07-09 acura mdx 3.7 has that IAT sensor on it. I just got one, be here in a few days.
Nice 👍

Yes they are all J series engines they bolt right onto each other
