Looked into some discussions involving yungone501, justnspace, tarzanboy about using j37 dual v tec heads on older j30, 32 and 35 blocks
Seems like everything will bolt on. Some mentioned oil pressure needs to be a little higher to actuate dual v tec properly. Some said plenty of oil pressure in these engines already
Previously, with invaluable help over here, I bolted on Acura rl 2006 cylinder heads onto j35a6 engine(Honda Odyssey)
Everything works. Car is much faster .but most power is at 4500rpm+.
I dont like to rev engines a lot, especially minivans. 90% is city driving under 40mph. Have lots of gaskets leaking, cranks shaft gaskets. Valve stem seals.. so decided might as well rebuild everything . But this time I would like to achieve maximum low end torque. It looks like mdx dual v tec heads from j37 are profiled better for low end torque.
Is v tec mechanical, hydrolic actuation or it needs a signal from engine computer to engage. Basically if I find j37 dual v tec heads from mdx will I need to swap ecm? To accommodate dual v tec function
