How come I've never seen a turbo nsx? Know of any sites that have featured turbo nsx's?

 

Check around nsxprime.com in the FAQ as well as by doing a search in the forums.

While each has its advantages, there are many more superchargers than turbos, mostly because there are several super kits (Comptech, Gruppe M, and BaschBoost) that are pretty much complete and plug and play, whereas the turbo installations have been mostly custom and require a lot more other stuff that needs to be upgraded.

 

I plan to go the supercharger route on my NSX, most likely Comptech or Baschboost. I've heard enough horror stories and blown engines over the years with turbo kits for the NSX. Supercharges are much simpler to install and are, by far, much more reliable. It's really a no brainer in my opinion.

Turbo kits are only as reliable as you tune them. Superchargers are not anymore reliable at all. I havent installed a turbo kit on a nsx, but there is no difference between turbo'ing a teg engine or a nsx engine. The principal is the same, get the air/fuel/spark down pat and you are set. Granted you are going to spend more money on custom fabrication pieces for a turbo kit (unless you are able to do this yourself...yah for me!). Overall, turbo vs supercharger debate is old. Reliablity comes down to engine management and tuning. Period.
