The conventional console-mounted shift lever is replaced with a fully electronic, shift-by-wire gear selector.Direct Injection System The direct-injection system enables increased torque across the engine’s full operating range along with higher fuel efficiency.5-liter V-6 are cast directly into the aluminum cylinder heads to reduce weight, decrease parts count, and create more under-hood space. Plateau honing also enhances the long-term wear characteristics of the engine. This prevents the transmission from upshifting during a corner, which could upset the chassis balance thus requiring downshifting again at the corner exit when the throttle is applied.5-liter, SOHC V-6 engine  i-VTEC® (intelligent Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control) for intake valvesVariable Cylinder Management™ (VCM®) cylinder deactivationComputer-controlled Direct Injection (DI) with multi-hole fuel injectorsIdle-Stop capability (models with 9AT)11. The engine is automatically restarted when the driver releases the brake pedal after a stop.269, Final Drive: 4.5:111.. This means that torque vectoring can be felt when accelerating aggressively through a typical corner. Other factors that help reduce engine noise and vibration are a rigid forged-steel crankshaft, die-cast accessory mounts, and a stiff cast-aluminum oil pan that reduces cylinder block flex.The Idle-Stop feature can be turned on/off via a button on the center console, located at the bottom of the electronic gear selector array.5:1Direct Ignition••Valvetrain24-Valve SOHC i-VTEC®24-Valve SOHC i-VTEC®Fuel DeliveryPort InjectionDirect InjectionDrive-by-Wire Throttle System••Variable Cylinder Management••Variable Intake Valve Lift (VTEC) •Transmission5-Speed Automatic6-Speed Automatic (LX, EX, EX-L); 9-Speed Automatic (Touring, Elite)2-Wheel Drive••Available AWD••Powertrain FeaturesFeatureLXEXEX-LTouringEliteEngine TypeV6V6V6V6V6Engine Block/Cylinder HeadAluminum-AlloyAluminum-AlloyAluminum-AlloyAluminum-AlloyAluminum-AlloyDisplacement (cc)34713471347134713471Horsepower (SAE net)280 @ 6000 rpm280 @ 6000 rpm280 @ 6000 rpm280 @ 6000 rpm280 @ 6000 rpmTorque (SAE net)262 lb-ft @ 4700 rpm262 lb-ft @ 4700 rpm262 lb-ft @ 4700 rpm262 lb-ft @ 4700 rpm262 lb-ft @ 4700 rpmRedline6800 rpm6800 rpm6800 rpm6800 rpm6800 rpmBore and Stroke89 mm x 93 mm89 mm x 93 mm89 mm x 93 mm89 mm x 93 mm89 mm x 93 mmCompression Ratio11.Automatic Modes The 9-speed automatic transmission can be operated in two different fully automatic modes: the D (or "Drive") mode is ideal for most driving situations, and combines fuel efficiency with smooth operation and responsive power when needed; the Sport mode is for more performance-oriented driving, and features more aggressive shift mapping to keep engine rpm higher for greater acceleration and response. Ion-plated piston rings help reduce friction for greater operating efficiency.754 6th: 0.382, 5th: 1.Cylinder Head and Valvetrain Like other Honda V-6 powerplants, the Pilot engine’s 4-valve cylinder heads are a single-overhead-camshaft design, with the cams driven by the crankshaft via an automatically tensioned toothed belt. As a result, the peak g-forces (or "shift shock") are reduced significantly during upshifts and downshifts. Using dynamic, hydraulically actuated left-to-right rear wheel torque vectoring to help turn the vehicle, the Pilot’s AWD system delivers more responsive, neutral and predictable handling performance while providing outstanding all-weather traction and control. Based on commands from the system’s Electronic Control Unit, the spool valves selectively direct oil pressure to the rocker arms for specific cylinders.VCM deactivates specific cylinders by using the i-VTEC (intelligent Variable Valve-Timing and Lift Electronic Control) system to close the intake and exhaust valves while the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) simultaneously cuts fuel to those cylinders. A multi-hole injector delivers fuel directly into each cylinder (not to the intake port, as in conventional port fuel injection designs), allowing for more efficient combustion. Conventional AWD and 4WD systems similarly work to link the inboard and outboard wheels as well as the front and rear wheels, which can create resistance to turning. A switching mechanism allows each cylinder to operate with low-rpm valve lift and duration or high-rpm lift and duration. An EGR system, especially one that delivers a cleaner, cooler charge, reduces pumping loss for better fuel efficiency. System Layout The Pilot AWD system is a full-time system that requires no driver interaction or monitoring, thanks to a torque-transfer unit that is bolted directly to the front-mounted transaxle. Made of low-pressure cast, low-porosity aluminum, each cylinder head incorporates a "tumble port" design that improves combustion efficiency by creating a more homogeneous fuel-air mixture. Use for comparison purposes only.Honda’s Drive-by-Wire throttle system establishes the current driving conditions by monitoring throttle pedal position, throttle valve position, engine speed (rpm) and road speed. The resulting overdrive effect is regulated by left- and right-side clutch packs (located in the rear differential) that independently control the power delivered to each rear wheel. The 3.580, 9th: 0.334Drivetrain Architecture and Features2-Wheel Drive The Pilot offers standard front 2-wheel drive.065, 5th: 0.0952.The new, more efficient engine and transmissions, along with the lighter and yet more capable all-wheel-drive system, in combination with a nearly 300-pound reduction in vehicle weight (for upper trims) and a major reduction in running resistance, result in substantially enhanced performance and fuel efficiency. The first tune-up includes water pump inspection, valve adjustment, replacement of the camshaft timing belt, and the installation of new spark plugs. The benefits of the system are superior all-weather handling and neutral, accurate steering under power that is unmatched by front-drive, rear-drive or conventional all-wheel-drive systems. The system will automatically turn itself off in certain circumstances, including:If the driver’s seatbelt is not fastenedIf the engine coolant and/or transmission fluid temperature is too high or lowIf the vehicle comes to a stop again before vehicle speed reaches 3 mphIf the transmission is in a position other than "D"If the battery state of charge is low, or the battery temperature is below 14°FIf the climate control system is on and the outside temperature is below -4°FIf the rear HVAC fan is set to maximum speedClose-Coupled Catalysts and High-Flow Exhaust System The exhaust manifolds of the 3.334Fuel Economy and Emissions RatingsRatings2016 Pilot (LX, EX, EX-L)2016 Pilot (Touring, Elite)EPA Fuel Economy Ratings3 (city / highway/ combined)19/27/22 (2WD) 18/26/21 (AWD)20/27/23 (2WD) 19/26/22 (AWD)Recommended fuelRegular unleaded 87 octaneRegular unleaded 87 octaneCARB emissions rating4ULEV-2ULEV-2 Clamp Coupling Suppliers https://www.concreteparts.net/ # # 1 280 horsepower @ 6000 rpm (SAE net)2 262 lb-ft @4700 rpm (SAE net)3 Based on 2016 EPA fuel-economy ratings.359, 2nd: 2.

Up to 100 percent of the torque sent to the rear axle can be applied to either the left or right rear wheel, depending on conditions. The block incorporates a deep-skirt design with four bolts per bearing cap for rigid crankshaft support and minimized noise and vibration. Indicator lights near the buttons indicate the mode selected., switched to Drive mode).Cooperative Control Both shift performance and smoothness are improved by cooperative control between the Drive-by-Wire throttle system and the electronically controlled, Sequential SportShift automatic transmission.5:111.6120. Two engine block-mounted acoustic detonation/knock sensors "listen" to the engine, and based on this input, the ECU can retard the ignition timing to prevent potentially damaging detonation.842, 3rd: 1.6973. When the system detects a sufficient speed differential between the rear wheels, it will suppress any unwanted upshifts.The multi-hole injectors can create the ideal stoichiometric fuel/air mixture in the cylinders for good emissions control.Once the engine is fully warmed up, for maximum power and fuel efficiency fuel is injected during the intake stroke.713 2nd: 2.Drive-by-Wire Throttle System The Pilot’s Drive-by-Wire throttle system replaces a conventional throttle cable with smart electronics that "connect" the accelerator pedal to a throttle valve inside the throttle-body. A single electric motor powers a pair of hydraulic pumps – one for each clutch pack. Drive torque is calculated from ECU information, and then the acceleration situation, wheel spin, lateral G-force, steering angle and steering angle rate-of-change are used to determine the front-to-rear torque distribution and the torque split between right and left rear wheels.For improved stop-and-go performance and to help prevent "lugging" the engine, the Sequential SportShift transmission will automatically downshift to first gear even though the transmission has been left in a higher gear, (except in second gear) as the vehicle comes to a stop. When stopped, a special cold storage evaporator in the air conditioning system helps maintain a comfortable cabin temperature even in warm weather. Since the system automatically closes both the intake and exhaust valves of the cylinders that are not used, pumping losses associated with intake and exhaust are eliminated and fuel efficiency gets a further boost.i-VTEC with 2-Stage Variable Cylinder Management™ (VCM®) The Pilot’s V-6 engine combines Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) with Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control (i-VTEC), which changes the lift profile, timing # and lift duration of the intake valves.480Reverse1. Will vary with driving conditions.S.4 Does not apply to fluid and filter changes. As an added safety measure, the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) can also cut off fuel to the engine to prevent over-revving. System information and an animated selected mode icon is shown on the color Multi-Information Display (as shown in the second image on the following page).8 percent. With cornering forces more evenly distributed between front and rear tires, overall cornering power is increased in all road conditions. Taken together, these new features and technologies make this new Pilot the most dynamically capable, confidence-inspiring, fuel efficient, powerful and refined Pilot yet.The system is engineered to operate smoothly and seamlessly. This improves volumetric efficiency, and the cooling effect of the incoming fuel improves anti-knock performance.3594.Temporary Manual Operation in Drive Mode While in Drive mode, special transmission logic programming allows the use of the steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters.83, Final Drive: 4. A steering wheel-mounted paddle shifter system lets the driver take manual control of transmission gear selection. Based on the operating condition s, the direct-injection system alters its function for best performance. The new engine is mated to one of two new transmissions – a 6-speed automatic (6AT) for LX, EX and EX-L trims, and 9-speed automatic (9AT) for Touring and Elite models.480, Reverse: 3. Multiple sensors constantly monitor critical engine operating parameters such as intake air temperature, ambient air pressure, throttle position, intake airflow volume, intake manifold pressure, coolant temperature, exhaust-to-air ratios, as well as the position of the crankshaft and the camshafts.5-liter V-6 makes use of an after-catalytic-converter exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system that allows cleaner, cooler EGR gas to be fed back into the intake system.Emissions Control The 2016 Pilot 3.556, Reverse: 2. i-VTM4 operating parameters include:Up to 100 percent of available torque can be transferred to the front wheels during normal cruising. The result is less under-hood clutter and lower weight, as well as quicker and more accurate throttle actuation.5 ULEV-2 (Ultra-Low-Emission Vehicle) models as certified by the California Air Resources Board (CARB).095, 3rd: 1.Intelligent Traction Management SystemThe 2016 Pilot features a new push-button-operated Intelligent Traction Management System that offers four different AWD operating modes: Normal, Snow, Mud and Sand; and two FWD modes: Normal and Snow.
