Why the J35A Engine Is Ideal for Pilot Replacement
The Honda J35A is a proven engine. It belongs to the Honda J series engine family and has powered the Pilot for years. It fits directly into your vehicle with no major modifications. You save time and money on installation. It is a smart, affordable alternative to a costly rebuild.
VTEC and VCM Technology Explained
This engine comes equipped with the VTEC system Honda developed for better performance and the Variable Cylinder Management system for improved fuel efficiency. VCM lets the engine run on three or four cylinders during light driving. That means better gas mileage on the highway without losing power when you need it.
Low Mileage JDM Engine Benefits for Honda Pilot
JDM engines come from Japan, where strict vehicle inspection laws keep mileage low. Most of our imported Honda Pilot J35A engines come in between 35,000 and 65,000 miles. That is far less wear than most locally used engines. You get more life out of your Pilot without paying for a brand-new engine.
