Hello!
I've been doing some research on here because I'm interested in a j35a3 swap but not for a CL-S but a civic. I think the same things should apply except a harness merge.
Right now I'm thinking the plan is to go
J35a3 stock
RL cam
J37 intake
6 speed manual
CL-S manual ECU
Just like of you guys I'm interested in going a true manual set up. When I did the math and really thought how much I would gain by going AEM imo it just wasnt worth the pedestrian gain. I've seen some of you guys have successfully swapped j35a3s into your CL-S.
Did you need to swap out the auto sensors on the engine for the j32a2 sensors? I dont beleive they would be plug and play. I know the auto type S and manual have different sensors. Is there any other parts that need to be replaced?
Also, locating a CL-S manual ECU seems to be my biggest road block atm. Locating one has not been easy and I'm not sure how much theyll cost. All I know is that itll be far cheaper than the AEM one (hopefully) lol.
Any advice where to find one? Thanks!
This seems to be the easiest way to go in terms of stock power on OEM parts.
