Jhouser, can you speak to if the BBSC kit can fit while keeping a rear targa brace installed?
Basically, does the coupler sit higher than the valve cover? If so, by how much?
Has anyone ever installed a BBSC kit on a targa NSX?
I have a LoveFab rear targa brace on my car and it made a significant difference in rigidity compared to the OEM brace...enough so that I wouldn't want to sacrifice it for the sake of a SC kit.
Looking at installed pics of the BBSC, I'm...
Never mind, just got a PM back from Mark. Sounds like he doesn't check Prime as much because his company has branched out to building parts for other manufacturers.
I suppose that's what happens when you have a successful business that continues to grow!
I wanted to ask Mark a few questions, but I noticed he hasn't posted in a while and the few posts he has made are sporadic.
I also PMed him, but haven't heard anything back. Is Pride Exhaust still in business?
Bumping this for an answer on squeal.
I think I'll be ordering pads sometime this week - debating between Hawk HP+ and Carbotech AX6s. For the AX6s, I don't mind a little squeal/noise if they perform noticeably better than the HP+. But ultimately, my NSX is a street driven car so the less...
Wow, you had a BBSC on your car for 60k miles? That has to be the most number of miles I've ever heard on any FI setup. How much power did you make and what tuning option did you use?
After the BBSC, it looks like you then switched to the SOS twin turbo kit...how did they compare? I guess...
While I do typically prefer buying new parts vs used, the BBSC kit is no longer made so I'd have to go with a used kit if I want to utilize a centrifugal S/C.
Can anyone confirm if the BBSC is intercooled? I don't think it is, but wanted to make sure.
I'm not sure how I'd feel about running...
I've noticed a lot of used BBSC kits up for sale, wondering what people's thoughts were on them.
As I understand, they weren't the most reliable setup when they first came out but that was largely due to a lack of tuning options. Now that we have AEM solutions available, is running this kit...
Though there is no such thing as a bad NSX, there are a few reasons why I would think long and hard about an automatic NSX:
- The engine is detuned to 252hp, regardless of year.
- Honda has always been known for making good manual transmissions, and the NSX is no exception. Easily one of the...
Wasn't sure where to post this since there isn't a subforum for brakes...
What pads are you guys running on the street? Last year, I swapped for a set of StopTech Street Performance pads up front, OEM pads in the rear and honestly I'm not a huge fan. They have decent feel and generate almost...
Can anyone confirm the severity of this issue?
I received a quote from my mechanic for the cam plugs and sealing screws - it sounds like a fairly in-depth process. If it's not an immediate threat to my engine's longevity, I would prefer to wait a little longer in order to combine the process...
bumping this thread...
I'm having the same intermittent white smoke issue (whisping from the rear bank). I had the VTEC solenoid gaskets replaced back in March and the problem went away until a few days ago.
I doubt it's the VC gasket because I had that replaced 2 years ago when I had the...
I did end up going with Ti Dave's parts (rear beam bushings, rigid toe links). I was able to get my rear camber to -2.8 degrees, much better than the -3.7 degrees I was running with the stock setup.
My car is lowered to a 1/2 finger gap all around (maybe 2.5" overall?) and all the parts work...
I installed the ClutchMaster FX350 on my car (97 NA2) this past spring and have put about 2k miles on it so far. I had a good experience with ClutchMasters in the past (ran a FX300 on my supercharged TSX pushing 350whp for 15k miles before I sold the car) and I wanted a clutch that could...

Pretty cool that NSXPO got this exposure, tons of pics too. One of these days, I'll make it out there!
I'm already noticing a major reduction in grip with the temps dropping so rapidly in just the past 2 weeks alone. Keeping my fingers crossed they stay about 65F through end of Oct.
If the temps and weather permit a spirited drive, I'm in for 11/1.
To me, comparing an NSX and a GTR is apples to oranges. They're both VERY different cars that give driving experiences on completely opposite ends of the spectrum. The NSX offers an analog, visceral driving experience while the GTR is entirely digital and unbelievably fast, existing as a...
Got mine in the mail over the weekend. It's well built and very lightweight, yet it seems strong enough to hold everything in place. Ultimately, I was looking for a place to store my iPhone 6 (other than the passenger seat) and this does it well. I especially appreciate its unobtrusive, slim...
I can't stop staring at the new C63S. I want one SO bad!
Understated yet sporty exterior, gorgeous and modern interior (minus the floating iPad)...oh, and a 503hp/516tq twin-turbo V8 ain't bad either. The ultimate Bahn burner and a perfect compliment to the NSX, IMO.
Forgot to update this thread, but unfortunately I can't make the drive this weekend. I completely spaced that it's my 1-year anniversary and I'm pretty sure the wife wouldn't appreciate me ditching her to hang with the "mistress".
Enjoy guys, I'll see you at the next one!!!
