I am going to have the dent and mirror fixed, and a full detail.... Save some coin and build it. Priced parts and machining... full built, 9.5:1 GT35R turbo build.

[Got Insulin?]

Sweet deal, man. Looking forward to seeing this pan out.

Good deal. Can't go wrong with an NSX. And I'd still like to own one of these. Good luck with everything.:thumbup:

[OutToWinPAHC]

It's a high mile car, and it will be a project. So off the bat I am going to clean her up, get the dent, mirror, and scratched fixed. Full TLC maintenance, and I will drive it now and then.

Going to pull the motor and trans in the spring.

Then GT35R, Piping,BOV, WG, Injectors, intercooler, oil cooler, Stand alone and countless little things.

[ambitiousCK]

[jspek]

[b15mike]

looks good. goodluck with the build

[Foolinaround]

Always wanted one,congrats man.

[Honduh]

You have officially put a jinx on the car by posting pics of it before taking over ownership.

Good luck with it!

[empera]

good choice man...love these cars

[laser92dsm]

Can't wait to see this evolve over time, very nice car!

[OutToWinPAHC]

It's an opportunity to own a F1 inspired quazi supercar. It needs it's TLC, but I can do that and make it awesome. How many NSX's do you see, not many because they made less than 9,000 of them worldwide. Any how many of them do you need built and boosted?

[BlkWhtTSI]

always loved these cars! cant wait for updates!

[SleeperGoat]

Didn't they make a NSX-T there use to be a guy in dolyestown with 2 turbo ones an a regular one that he'd DD. There sweet cars was looking for one my self before I had my Z.

[OutToWinPAHC]

NSX-T Is the Targa top. None were boosted from Honda. They use the 290hp C30A (3.0, Dual overhead cam, vtec, aluminum block, full balanced rotating assy, titanium connecting rods), and the 310hp C32B (3.2L, Full balanced, dual overhead cam, vtec, also full balanced and titanium rods) in the later models

[OutToWinPAHC]

Oh there is also NSX-R. Type R and NSX-R GT

[Verve Motorsport]

put your seats in it..

[OutToWinPAHC]

I am lol and my wheels

[11secdsm]

Very nice!!! Can't wait for it to be done!

[jesse096]

In for the build... sounds like it's gonna be sweet!

I hate you....

[jesse096]

If you're gonna rip the engine down anyway, why not install aftermarket cams, crank, and rods? Unless it's a money thing...

-Jesse

[Munky]

There used to be a black turbo one that rolled around this area a few years back. I haven't seen it in awhile tho.

[OutToWinPAHC]

-Jesse

The factory rods are titanium, and very light. This is what makes the car have the ability to rev so high.

As for cams, well I was checking out the grind specs and the forced induction cams are very similar in duration to the stock cams. So to me that 1900 for a set of cams is not worth spending.

[renn]

wouldn't be suprised to see it cost over $20k in the end to turbo one of these if you're doing it the right way

[Bates]

So you traded the 240 straight up for it?

[OutToWinPAHC]

Sure if you were paying someone to do it with an off the shelf kit. I plan about 12-13K over time. What I'll do is get the car cleaned up and maintained. Order the internal parts, order the turbo parts. Save up a little, then pull the motor and trans. Send the trans down south for work, and have the motor built and assembled. Then take my time putting her together. Now I wont be able to mock up the turbo and piping.... Reason is I cant weld aluminum and all the hangers need to be tigged on. Overall they can be pricey cars, but after doing homework it's not too bad.

Trans 2K
Clutch 1.5K
Engine Parts 3.5K
Machining 2.5K
Turbo/parts and management 2.5
Tuning / Welding 1K

[OutToWinPAHC]

So you traded the 240 straight up for it?

No.... I get cash, get the NSX, keep my Bride seats, keep my Volk Wheels, Keep some gauges and other items.

[TROLL]

Nice, should be sweet and nice to own something so uncommon.
Is 9.5:1 compression really ideal for a big turbo setup? What kind of boost are you looking to run, and on what octane?

[OutToWinPAHC]

Ideally 12-18psi, 93 octane. 9.5 is what alot of the boosted guys use with these. I can order pistons 9:1 to 12:1

[DPancoast]

if you ever want to sell your stock wheels, I want dibs lol

[Honduh]

Is 9.5:1 compression really ideal for a big turbo setup?

9.5 should be a great compression ratio. Compression = spool = power band. But I'm sure you know this already, Bryan.

If I could redo my block I'd bump my compression up from the 9.0:1 that I have now.

[TROLL]

Ok, I was just wondering, I knew you'd have done your homework on it. Just didn't know how much boost you'd be able to run on pump gas with that compression, but it sounds like a well rounded plan. What kind of power range will you be at?

[Honduh]

Troll?!?!?! Double Post?!?!?!

[TROLL]

ha... weird. deleted double post.

[jesse096]

The factory rods are titanium, and very light. This is what makes the car have the ability to rev so high.

As for cams, well I was checking out the grind specs and the forced induction cams are very similar in duration to the stock cams. So to me that 1900 for a set of cams is not worth spending.

I knew there was something else haha, makes sense though.

[Vr-4-Life]

I am lol and my wheels

Can I get a chance to drive it before you put those skinny man seats in? lol

[Vr-4-Life]

Kevin's got some exotic rice...

[sundaybikes]

Can't wait to see this, never really followed an nsx build since most are either way over-the-top or some ricer with a big wallet. Back to what you were saying with the cams, I'm sure you'll be fine since I've seen b-series motors have nice gains with itr cams over "turbo" cams

[i_ride_fieroGT]

Not bad. I have to admit this is the one honda i would break my never own a honda again rule for.

[abrok99]

Not bad. I have to admit this is the one honda i would break my never own a honda again rule for.

lol at never wanting to own a honda yet you own fiero's and a eclipse:rofl:

[OutToWinPAHC]

Shhhh dont provoke him

[Vr-4-Life]

Not bad. I have to admit this is the one honda i would break my never own a honda again rule for.

Never own a honda? dude... you drive a repairo...

[OutToWinPAHC]

Rich, got a spare ATX power supply to steal from work? My fan is out and I dont want to dump money into this PC.... Gotta get a new

[JST2KWIK]

awesome. I honestly thought it would be a long time before you got rid of the 240, but glad to see it gave way to such an awesome project

[Vr-4-Life]

Rich, got a spare ATX power supply to steal from work? My fan is out and I dont want to dump money into this PC.... Gotta get a new

lol I'd steal from my mom before I steal from work.... Anyhow, I do not... I am in need of one for myself as well.

[CleanNeon98]

Congrats Kevin! You'll love it.

Never own a honda? dude... you drive a repairo...
Bwahahha

[Vr-4-Life]

hehehehe

[Honduh]

hahaha

[jspek]

get this done already :p

[endless]

Hell of a choice man. They shouldve really changed the name from NSX to SEX, love these cars.. I'll be checking in for this one..

[OutToWinPAHC]

Guys checking schedule, and going to secure a trailer. It's a 10 ride each way. Hoping next weekend I'll have my NSX. I have some cash burning a hole, enough to cover all the parts for the motor and clutch. Income tax will cover trans, and boost parts.

[Vr-4-Life]

Awesome man... If it was under 5 hours each way I'd be down to tag along for company... 10 eh... no... lol

[OMG JDM]

awesome. sounds/looks like a fun project for sure.

[Maxxdsix]

Bringing it to Toys For tots this weekend?

[OutToWinPAHC]

I'm still working on meeting up at a Notary in Virginia to do the trade.

[OBEEWON]

What ever happened to this?

[Teku18]

To my understanding this trade fell threw. He already has something else in mind last time I talked to him.

[Honduh]

You have officially put a jinx on the car by posting pics of it before taking over ownership.

Good luck with it!


So I WAS right!

[DPancoast]

boooooooo

[Teku18]

Apparently yes. He actually changed his mind on it not the other guy.

[OBEEWON]

Oh, how wack. Internet is sucking it up lately.

[856jersey]

Lame sauce

[jesse096]

The NSX had over 200K miles he said... I would have done the same thing, even though the NSX is sexy as ****...
