So far I have been.
2004 Rio Yellow Turbo build
- Thread starter brandonsan
- Start date
CT Engineering and Driving Ambition made a small batch of the old style billet RSTB for some other owners and myself. I opted for anodized silver which is darker than the clear. I thought this would compliment the intake manifold and coil pack covers. I love the engraved Driving Ambition logo. The brace is darker than it appears inthis photo. I will post another pic once I see it on the car. Thanks again Nate and Shad !

I concur
With my setup I have the choice of 400whp or 500whp and its as u said, at 400 it's enjoyable but 500 fulfills your need for speed. I actually wanted 550whp but was advised that it would be risky with my SOS stage1 build. I then looked at the extra power vs what it would cost and decided to stay with a "safe tune". I was told after 550-600whp U start to have controllability issues due2 power and weight of car.
I can imagine what 600 feels like....it would had been nice, congrats on your build.

You made the right choice. 500 is plenty. Why risk another motor build for 50 rwhp.
Would like to see your car if you ever go to any C&C or other events in the area
I will probably attend Cars and Coffee in Annapolis when the weather warms up.
Amazing amazing build thread. Can't believe I missed this one.
i have been a fan of your car for a long long time (since the work wheel days)
Keep the updates coming!

I thought I saw you were selling the car?
No sir. I thought about it a few years ago but could never bring myself to do it.
Good call.
Thanks !
Boost switch installed. I wanted it to look as OEM as possible.
Looks Great!

Thanks. It was a lot of work and required some out of the box thinking.
looking awesome. love the oem-ness of the boost.
By chance, do you have any video and tell the difference in feel going from single to TT?
I know the additional ponies has to be a beast.
How is the spool time on TT vs single?

I'm sorry for the delayed response. It is a HUGE difference but I have several contributing factors.
1. Built engine
2. 3.5 Comptech Stroker engine
3. More boost
The car has a more immediate response than before. I was never dissatisfied with the single but it would never respond like the twins will no matter what I did. The boost comes on so quick and and it pulls with no fade to the redline. My dyno HP and TQ drop off in the chart after 7K but you cannot feel it at all.
That's all the education I needed/deciding factor. 3.5 now is a must have.
Please post video when you get a chance. I haven't found one impressive NSX TT video posted yet.
One new goodie to install
