Re: K-Series engine swap into an NSX?
You might want to reconsider the tube bracing. The middle of the horizontal bars are being put into a bending load especially the scary front one. The load from each shock corner will be transferred to the middle of the horizontal bars causing deflection and unwanted suspension/ frame movement. Since the load is transferred right in the middle of that bar it only has the option to deflect down or push the opposite side. If this was thick wall steel tubing I wouldn't bother saying anything, but in this case it is aluminum, and aluminum has a lower yield strength and loading cycles. An X brace with a top and bottom horizontal bar would be a stronger option in your case.

It is sad that you would even think about bastardizing a automobile like the NSX with one of the worst Toyota copies of an engine like the K series. I'm down with difference and innovation though. Look forward to seeing a completed car. Subscribed!!!

I'm sure you are one to also call the Insight a copy of the Prius as well. Yawn.

Pay respect to the fool who part the hard time work and idea into that car... me, If you actually spent some real money on that car it prolly would be nice instead of looking like garage built junk. Poor car, way to make an NSX worth less money....i dont give a **** about it anymore. I want my MONEY...
Fair warning to anyone doing business with this psycho....
Cheers.

Re: K-Series engine swap into an NSX?
I like the idea of trying to make more power for less money with the K series versus the C, but I don't think the little money being saved in comparison would validate the swap. The simple fact is the NSX wasn't designed so everyone could purchase and mod one, and the parts selection, and pricing reflect that. Parts are rare because the vehicle is rare, and to be completely honest if the swap was ever done most would probably shrug the car off as a waste of time. The NSX is an awesome vehicle, and shows the engineering capabilities of Honda at the time, theres just no need to swap the engine out for anything else, in my opinion. It is an interesting idea though, and I would be the first in line to shake the man's hand who somehow made it work.

Thats funny you mention the "nuts part" so quick to deny, sadly thats what eveyone thinks about you... And its not in a good way.
Thank God
Eveyone knew who Ross was, it got around fast cause we did good marketing. But when you start ****ing people over and burning bridges people start to have a bad taste in there mouth about you and word spreads.
Everyone's fault?? your blaming your clients, the people who put money in your pocket, blaming them for your own mistakes by using people and taking advantage of people?? Take some f'ing responsibility Ross your a grown *** man, i know your mom for god sake.. we go way back so i dont wanna hear your bull ****.
Says who? the poor handicapt bastard you kicked out of your shop for destroying his nsx performing a timing belt water pump???
