"The focus of the R&D activities will be to develop a twin-supercharger system for Adam’s new Acura NSX Pro Car for the 2002 season. Unveiled at the 2000 SEMA Show, the A&L Racing NSX features a front engine, rear drive, full tube chassis, carbon fiber NSX replica body panels, and for the 2001 season, a 3.2L VTEC Acura powerplant. "


This was straight off the Jackson racing website. How is a twin supercharger possible? How much power is this likely to produce? How does this work> any ideas? has there ever been a twin supercharged car before?

I don't know....but with Adam's budgets, they'll pull it off easily.

I still think turbo would be more efficient and have more potential. But he's known for not following the road, so we'll see how well he does with it.

really would be fairly straightforward but slightly ghetto-rigged on the 3.2l V6... with JR's supercharger setup, imagine one supercharger for each bank of pistons, with an extremely ugly snake of belts to run the whole shebang.

Sounds more like a publicity stunt for JR than anything else to me.

Didn't that nsx blowup on theraceway on its first run?

InfamousDX

yea, i didn't see Adam run at all this season.

I saw the car at sema. It is really ghetto. I have pictures:

Look at all those ugly adapter plate things that help position everything. It looks like a mess. What a bad idea.

If that is "really ghetto", show me really fine. I think it is an awsome idea and project. Tons of people run turbo's over superchargers at the dragstrip, and for good reasons. But someone who has been in the game as long as Adam certainly knows of all the up's and down's of either side. Talk about origanality.......tell me something more original that a full race NSX with twin SUPERCHARGERS?? Who the hell would have thought of that, let alone actually undertaken the task? I don't even know of any other full drag NSX's out there. It may have had problems during it's first few runs, but I have a feeling that Adam and his crew aren't gonna trash the whole thing and think, "why did we build this ghetto car?" That team had the money to build ANYTHING, and they built this. I think it's fare to say they have some good reasons. When it's running good.......watch out!

dustin

Either way, it looks ghetto

Smashback

You think that looks ghetto, have you ever seen the place that converts swaps 4.6L Cobra shortblocks out with the larger Ford truck motor, but makes special adapters to use the special funky Cobra heads (DOHC aren't they)? Straaaaaange. And I think it costs like 6 grand or something...can't say for sure as I haven't carressed a Mustang for at least a couple of years.

And if you think those plates look funny, I guess you've never seen them used in domestics? It basically allows the motor to bolt straight onto the frame and holds it nice and steady.

schwett

umm, does that say "front-engine" ???

dustin

Yes, it is front engine now.

Arturbo

It is a front engine.

schwett

why would you do that???

that must've been a gigantic pain in the ***
and the weight distribution must be all
screwed up now.

did they do it just to get room for the blowers?

dustin

Those are just to position the superchargers.
