there is also a company in las vegas called factor X motorsports that is currently developing a kit that looks very similar. don't know their website offhand (if they even have one.)
always check with http://www.nsxprime.com for stuff like this.

Re: NSX turbo (supergreenSol)
As supergreenSol mentioned,
Factor-X has a kit in the works, but are being pretty hush-hush until it is final. They did however release a teaser picture.
Also, CyberNation Motorsports has a "kit."

Re: NSX turbo (ojas)
These are not really "kits" in the sense that they bolt on, with no other modifications needed, and with many identical examples in service in the field. All of the turbo setups for the NSX are individual, customized installations, in which various components were changed as needed until the car was properly running and tuned. You can have places such as FactorX and pansx do a similar installation on your own car. But there is no completely bolt-on kit currently on the market.

Re: NSX turbo (TakumiFujiwara)
While turbo kits are nice they leave alot to be desired. The price of the "kits" i have seen on the market is far to much. If you can weld and fabricate, the turbo kits can be made for a fraction of the price with much nicer quality components. Just something to think about, if you havent owned a turbo civic/integra before and you want a turbo nsx your heading into a world for of headaches/problems/money so be prepared. OEM components of the engine are priced accordingly to the 90K price tag, so if you do have a mishap it is going to cost you. That is the largest factor holding me back from building one right now.

Also, if you are interested in going turbo on ANYTHING, not just an NSX, makes sure you understand the fundamentals.
A good book to read if you are interested in turbocharging is my good friend Corky Bell's book, Maximum Boost.
He actually details a little of how he developed the TT kit for the NSX. Interesting stuff in there. If you don't have any engineering background, however, don't expect to understand everything. Good luck.

Any kit is going to be "custom" - Gerry's kit on his own car is more radical looking, primarily because of the 'cooler location on top of the motor & the associated hatch/scoop.
If you check the yellow car on the http://www.pansx.com website (which has been re-done recently) you will see a more "conventional" looking package from a visual perspective (ignoring the other body mods for now)
The inter-cooler goes behind the rear valance & its very difficult to recognize at first glance.
It is also custom in the sense that it has a number of different options, depending on what boost you want to run - all of these grow from what is essentially the same kit - I would make this a positive rather than a negative.
Check with Gerry directly - he's very amenable & a very sincere guy. Even if you don't buy a kit from him, you'll surely come away much more knowledgable than you go into the conversation.

Re: NSX turbo (D'Ecosse)

Re: NSX turbo (nsxxtreme)
The muffler has a heat shield on it to take some of the heat off it and the intercooler has 4 intercooler fans on it .....
The black pansx has a oil pump on it and a in-line oil cooler the yellow nsx drops back in to the oil pan .... The kit will drop back in to the pan ..... If the buyer wants to do a oil cooler then they will have to use a pump ...
