Default Anyone Interested in building a SERIOUS Turbo NSX...

I own Full Race (www.full-race.com) and we will be building a few hardcore turbocharged NSXs, the way it should have been built in the first place (a car that no one seems to have built properly yet).

If you are interested please contact me either here thru PM or email me at geoff@full-race.com

thank you.

No big argument there. An option for a higher hp version should have been offered. Yet Honda wouldn't even offer the NSX-R.

There's nothing like entering the market, making a splash, and getting the other turbo NSX vendors wet behind the ears. Though I'm no FI expert, the existing vendors have "properly built" turbo NSXs.

my argument for other people properly building the cars is that the cars seem to blow up at elevated power levels, none seem to make any serious power and certainly none have shattered any records.

i have a turbo kit designed that would change all of that, and it will also make the car handle better...

I'm supposing it's either low in the engine compartment or low right over the rear axle?

I believe Factor X has a 700+rwhp NSX twin turbocharged. Their website is factorxengineering.com.

mike from factor x is an excellent mechanic and knows how to tune and work on NSXs more than pretty much anyone doing it right now. He is not a turbo kit designer/manufacturer however his kits are in my opinion one of the better options available for boosting the v6 motor.

lol i wish... i want to beat some domestics like a charged z06 vette and nos'ed ls1 camaro in my area that think no 4 cylinder can ever beat them, funny thing is they got those cars specifically to beat my NSX. i figured being beat by a 92 civic would humble them or at least make them feel like ******** ahahhahaha

but im am interested in F.I. for the X... always have been, but i'm just afraid if I blow it how much it will cost to get another motor. I was lucky one of my freinds works at Neillo acura here in sacramento and gave me a disassembeled nsx block so I am gonna work on that lil by lil till i get it where it can handle 450+hp then ill go from there.

Your nsx worth like 3 time the money of these car and still i think they will own you pretty bad, these car are real beast and dont take a lot to boost them.

anyways, that was realy out out of thread and i hate car comparison like this... i just had to say it.

"uh ok" is all i have to say to that... a 2000lbs hatch back with 600+hp cant beat a 3800lbs+ american car with 530hp?!?!?!?! its not a matter of being "OWNED" as you say its just the fact i can use an ecnobox civic to beat or stay with a car like that, and as for my NSX its not a straight line speed car it was meant for the track that what it was built for. I run past Z06 vettes in the turns like they are standing still, its just in a straight line they leave me behind. If what fullrace is saying about making the NSX handle better by doing the full-race turbo upgrade, which obviously has to be something more than just a power adder then i am all for it. in either case i am sure i can stay with or beat those cars i've seen it done before and it will be done again.

Your turbo + handling better = BS

Even if it is dealing with weight distirbution (which it probably is) You wont be able to notice a difference.

yo geoff, my friend and i just fully dyno tuned his stock nsx with a motec m800. while it only picked up a few ponies in the mid and top end, the drivability is oem quaility. best part is that he made a m800 plug and play adapter harness, hacking the stock harness isn't necessary.

If you want something done right it's always better to do it yourself...

This is border line advertising too.

Clearly, you've never seen a scratch built garage bred custom turbo system.

That's what I think too. But I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and explain what he's talking about.

Haven't sent the explaination yet though.

OK so let's see something better. Talk is cheap. Get back to us when you got the goods.
