So I was researching the full 6 speed swap option when i was thinking of still using my car as my daily driver but i decided to buy a reliable, and fun, commuter instead (08 wrx). So the tl is now my project car and thou i would like a six speed manual it's no longer a must. My question is, what do you think a good and future proof, engine upgrade would be? By future proof i mean easily upgradable with more power and possible 6mt in the future.
Prior to this i was thinking about the 03 cls heads with the j32a3 block, from what i read it's an exact fit and yeilds more torque. I was wondering if the j32a5, that's 04' mdx?, will work with the 06-07 AV6 tranny upgrade, and if i would need the ecu and engine harness with it. Also will any 04' and up Tls engine/Manuel tranny swaps work, and if so would i also need ecu and harness.
I would appreciate any input.
