I know the new Acura TL is a 3.2 litre ivtec motor. But it is SOHC or DOHC? I was surprised to learn that the new 6 spd one has an LSD tranny.

Does anyone have pictures of the new motor or the LSD? Just curious about seeing it.

 

Pretty sure its DOHC.

 

The 3.2 in the CL-S for 2003 had a 6speed with LSD as well...and no, it is not i-VTEC, and it is SOHC.

Try http://www.acura-cl.net for pictures. (yes i know the link says CL, just click it, you'll see why)

 

It's the same motor as the 3.2TL Type S/3.2CL Type S, but with an additional 10 hp. The 6speed tranny is the same as the one from the 3.2CL Type S [also now in the Accord V6 6speed but w/o LSD]. And yes, as hypnosis stated, it is SOHC and is NOT i-Vtec, in fact the motor [j-series] is related to the V6 from the 98+ Accords, Odysseys etc.

 

last time I checked, the only honda motors that are DOHC are either the I-4's or the NSX V6.

cl, tl, rl, legend, accord, mdx, pilot all have SOHC V6's

 

i'm pretty sure its sohc

 

^^^ Insightful! Though 3 people have already said it IS a SOHC engine.

 

I was just at the Acura dealer yesterday. Like before stated, its a 3.2 SOHC VTEC. Sweet car though, it pulls like an Apollo booster.
