Hey guys,
After spending the whole summer with the NSX on NA mode the time has come to turbo the damned thing.

One of Marco's friends will be making the manifolds and piping for the set up at his shop (he just open), he has an NSX that he has turbo and all I can say is that his work is just as good as Marco's.

The weapon of choice is a GT4088R Garrett turbo, managed by an AEM EMS, I have been using the same parts that I used with spike because I know they worked. Suspension, brakes, turbo, ECU are the same I used in my baby.(damn you Bashar);).

The hope are for us to have the car ready by the end of march, probably wont happen but we'll see.

The reason I went with Rob instead of buying a kit is simple, I dont have 17,000 dollars to buy one overprice piece of crap kit, when we have fabricators in Toronto.

The engine has very high millage but excellent compression, we will be looking for 470RWP on 93octane, that is enough for a car that weights 2800lbs(Mine).Next season the engine probably will be built, and then we can look north of 600RWP easy, since everything will be there to take the boost. All 14psi of it LOL ha ha ha!!!

I will keep this thread updated, the car will be going in this week, wish me luck guys.

Here are pics of the parts pile up I have for now.





It looks just like spike`s last winter stash.

Looking forward to hearing about this! Hope to see Rex at Shannonville next year.

These are old pictures. Aren't the parts on Spike?

//edit
Oh nevermind, only the last two are old. I get it.

Why not gt4094r?

What a waste of a pool table! Move the junk off the table!

I dont need to flow anymore than what the 88 does, in that case I would of just gone with a 42 since I have enough roon under the car.
The power from the 88 is awesome linear on the 6 cilynder.

-Manuel

Awesome Manny, I can't wait to see some more updates man!

I see. The car will surely be amazing! I always loved the vid of Ayrton Senna testing the Nsx back in the day.

Yep, I think that was the tipping point for me, knowing that Senna was involved so much in developing the car was key.
Oh and it was blue. lol

-Manuel

Very nice stash manuel This is going to be a killer project, and in a class of its own that's for sure. Looking forward for track days this summer

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Senna was involved heavily in making the NSX's original chassis more rigid, and less flexible, hence creating the "NSX-R" in later NSX years...

Wow; can't wait to see that on ThaTrack.

Keep feeding us the pics.

GizThaWiz!!!

I get first dibs when Manuel posts this car for sale in May.



I saw Robs NSX and he did a great job on his. Runs and sounds great. He seems to know a thing or two about these cars.

Can't wait to see your car with all those parts on it.

Thad is so funny, it's like you read my mind.
It has cross my mind at least once, can't wait too take it out for a rip.

I'll keep posted.

-Manuel

Hey guys, I dropped the car off at Rob's on wednesday finally to go under the nife, while there I did a little photoshoot.
Enjoy,

*drool*

Awesome!

Hey Mani, see if anybody knows about a dark coloured (darkpurple/black) NSX with the plates "2ndwife". I ran into him on the 401 a few years back

Loving the headlights on the Yellow one, and the underside of that black one is simply intense. Looks like Rex is in good company!

Well Manny, you've definitely stepped up in the world of cars!

Looks good man!

The gold one is an 02+ hence the headlights.

Hey Kev, Ill lurk around and see who has thos plates.


Thanks guys,

Catch you later,

-Manuel

Is that gold one Jeffreys?

Yes it is, Rob has it at the shop now, it will be going back Marco's some time soon.

-Manuel

One more.

If you squint just right you can make out a Brightside decal on manuels car! hehehehe

Rob's going to love his new rims. There going to looh amazing on that car. Tell him to come pick them up!

Brightside, FTW.....Bitches.

Meh, You call him.

so badass

I'm not the hugest fan of the NSX but those look nice. I especially like the gold one.

What's there not to like about them???............Other then their lack of power

I really dislike the tail lights, but the front of the car is gorgeous

NSX's are definatly great looking all around
Nothing a 1GB conversion cant fix lol..

That wont be a problem anymore.... REX!!!

The gold look nice for a couple hours, after a while it gives you an eye sore.

I love REX's color combo and the whole car in general I like the front the back the inside everything, but if a GT3RS shows on my driveway Ill dump the NSX LOL (Maybe someday).
I have just started on this car, when I am finish with it, it will look meaner and more agressive than Spike and that is something....

Thanks for the comments guys, now go back and those cars ready for this season.

-Manuel

Update!! not that you care, LOL.

You guys know things never go smooth or straight up right?
Well this was no exception.

We were ready to start fab'ing the manifold and charge pipes but after Rob (JDM-R shop owner) pulled the stock exhaust there was a bunch of oil everywere, so now the engine has to come down and while we are in there the clutch will be replace and the timing belt and all the gaskets and seals,the engine it self is nice and strong, at least I wont have to shell 15,000 for a new one....for now, LOL.

Anyways, here a couple pics of the underneath of the car looked.

-Manuel

Too bad to hear about the engine! But at least it's getting the right treatment

Sucks to hear Manny but at least she'll be 100% when she's all done.

Hey Manny! Car looks good, Robbie will take really good care of you! I still remember his car on the dyno, the sounds, I cant even begin to describe how it sounds. Cant complain about 475whp though Very fast street car.

Thank you guys this project will take longer than I thought but it will be worthed in the end, Ill take you guys for a spin when is done!! .


Yes Chris,Robbie knows he's stuff for sure.

-MSR

Why does the engine have to be dropped? Whats leaking?

That's pretty awesome. I'm going to enjoy following this thread, so make sure you update us!

2003-2005 GT3s are quite affordable these days in the US. And with the Canadian dollar expected to pass the US dollar by the summer, you might want to think about it. That's probably when I'll grab my evo.

That's the goal Peter , a well done turbo nsx is worthed good money, so we'll see.

Ian,
the valve covers are leaking, the vtec selenoid and we want to check the main too, plus the engine would favor from a nice general clean up, new clutch and water pump.

-Manuel

Hey Manuel, How many KMs, are on the car.. Just curious

270,000, leak down compression perfect.

-Manuel

Wow, thats a lot of klicks to be shoving boost through; but I wish you luck and good fortune!
