Looking for more info on Spoon's white NSX-R GT

[NSX-ST]

I have searched the entire world wide web for more info on Spoon's NSX-R GT in hopes of learning more about their powertrain. Only things I found out was they're using an HKS GT3037 turbocharger and they're pushing 420ps.

This is the clearest engine pic I found as well (doesn't tell me much):



I know FXMD was out there on the track with them, maybe they can chime in? Anyone? Thanks in advance!

What more do you want to know? It has an air-to-air intercooler located under the rear of the car, a 6spd transmission, very responsive spool (feels like a V8), but chokes out a bit at higher rpms.

Thanks for the links! I've never seen the last one but now I know they were running 0.6bar boost . I am mostly interested in their turbo system, what components they used and where they mounted everything. Even pictures will do!

Their turbo kit appears to be a one-off. Nothing special sticks out as revolutionary by any means, the turbo location is similar to what has been used for over 6 years. They have an internally-gated GT30 turbo, an air-to-air intercooler which dosn't have to support that much power ~420PS is probably only around 340-350whp. This turbo setup was extremely responsive and had a lot of pull down at 2-3,000rpm. Even the 'lower' powered entry-level turbo kits out there are making 400whp.
