We wanted to learn more about the NC1 engine and put together this video. I am sure most of you guys know a lot about the engine, but I definitely learn something new. Have I said enough how much I love the NC1?
Ther video we saw when they were interviewing the team at the Ohio plant, you could see how passionate they were.@Driver's Therapy
Shame they aren't in production anymore and needless to say, PMC isn't giving tours. I got to go to the Anna Engine Facility and see the final assembly of the NSX motors. I'm far from technical and not mechanically skilled in any way but my wife and I were still intrigued. Small team of like 4 or 5 guys assembled them all, broke them in and shipped them 20 miles or so away to PMC for installation in the cars. These guys were so passionate and you could tell they loved their job.
I love that too. Add such a nice touch.In addition the block, and heads were cast/manufactured by Cosworth in England. So there is that bit of information. That helps make these engines very special indeed. I love the way the engine starts. There is no old fashion starter motor. You get an instantaneous rumble that reminds me of race cars.
Thank you and have fun at your track day@Driver's Therapy
Enjoyed. Good stuff.
Unconfirmed rumor. Probably never happened:
I am possibly looking forward to enjoying a private track day in two weeks. If it occurs, I will def
keep it under double-nickle. I will avoid all performance and dangerous maneuvers. I would not want to
experience premature tire wear. I fully realize I am obligated to keep it nice for the next caretaker.
I heard that from someone else. I need to look into that more sometime.In addition the block, and heads were cast/manufactured by Cosworth in England. So there is that bit of information.

That is awesome. Such much info I did not know. Thank you for sharing.All the oil cans for the dry sump are welded by the same Italian woman..
All the torque tools in pmc are connected to the central network to confirm proper specs
nothing at pmc was rushed. The cars spent as much time at each station as the humans needed.
the cars are shaken and doused pretty severely before signed off
That engine is a work of art. What a glorious sound.I like that new Murray design...and what an engine..
This Acura video is good. I particularly like the part about the break-in period. NSX engine break-in is a white glove service. Take it straight to the track and drive it like you stole it. Z06, break-in yourself for 500 street miles or 1500 track miles. Do NOT take delivery and immediately drive it like you stole it. I guess the argument is that GM can't break-in every engine for a high production volume car that needs to be a performance bargain relative to the competition.
Z06 instructions:
Off topic but imagine what Gordon Murray is paying Cosworth for the 100 T50, 25 T50 track, and 200 T33 V12 engines
I would really enjoy driving the T33 (an S2000 for a person wtih $50 million is assets), the T50 is too hardcore for me.
I wish he had someone strong enough to say, boss we loved the F1 but you gotta put some more flair into today's cars.
The Ferrari guys pose the natural question, GMA or a SP3 Daytona, the Daytona is a crazy space ship with retro and futuristic vibes, point to Ferrari on design over the GMA.
