Re: DIY Turbo kit !

waiting for the new pics :biggrin:

 

[angus]

Re: DIY Turbo kit !

OK folks , I have just taken the pics , I will post them tonight!

 

[angus]

Re: DIY Turbo kit !

Here are the pictures of the completed kit !

The only items missing from the pics , are the scavenge pump system and the exhaust pipe .

Pricing will be set at an introductory price of $5500 for the "tuner" kit , this kit will include everything in the first picture , plus , scavenge pump system (this is a gear pump , not diaphragm pump) and straightpipe exhaust (exits on left side only , this can be heard in the video of the white nsx).

Optional mufflers will be borla and magnaflow (these are dual exit mufflers available at additional cost)

UPDATE! magnaflow dual exhaust will be included at no additional cost!

Intercooler upgrade kit will be released soon as well as fuel system options~!

Additional items you will need ,

-fuel system - this could be as simple as fuel pump and FMU for low boost (just like CTSC) , OR , AEM FIC / EMS + larger injectors for higher boost(over 8-9 psi )

I will be offering big discounts on engine management with kit purchase!

-blow off valve - ( I can supply flanges for Tial , Greddy or hks , welded on )

Re: DIY Turbo kit !

Here is the optional borla muffler, I will have pics of the maganflow option as well as the standard "straight" pipe soon .

I am including the magnaflow dual exhaust at no extra charge from now on!

Re: DIY Turbo kit !

Is there any reason why you chose to use Stainless steel for the charge pipe???

Stainless holds so much more heat than aluminum. makes sence on the exhaust and y-pipe....

 

[angus]

Re: DIY Turbo kit !

The two main reasons for using stainless on the charge pipes , are durabilty , and asthetics . Obviously the stainless is stronger , will last longer and it will hold a polish almost forever , I have long debated this with others ( I have built turbo kits for honda / acura for over ten years, with stainless charge pipes) and I think that the difference is marginal as far as heat is concerned , I agree that aluminum can dissipate heat better , but charge temp is charge temp and if they are too high , your piping will not cool / heat them significantly also, once the piping heats up to ambient temp (in the engine bay) , it will stay that way , no matter what it is made of .

I am certainly not the only one building a turbo kit with stainless charge pipes.

If you would like to purchase a kit with aluminum charge pipes , I can do it , no problem .

If you have any other concerns , please let me know.

thanks
Wil

Re: DIY Turbo kit !

I would like to know , how many people are intersted in a simple fuel system consisting of a high flow fuel pump and FMU ( rising rate fuel pressure regulator)

This would be just the same fuel system as CTSC uses.

This would supply fuel for low boost applications (up to 8 psi)

This would make the "tuner kit" a complete , bolt on kit!

Re: DIY Turbo kit !

Very impressive! an for the quality think is A++ welding looks impeccable

One question really don't know mutch about this But...
You Think that would be possible to tune the nsx by the oem computer (in the case of the 91-95 or OBD1 nsx's) using the hondata or something like that???
You guys think this would be possible??
Again i don't know mutch about this but want to see if it's possible to tune the oem ecu. on obd1 nsx's

From personal experience the short answer is NO.Going with a full stand alone like AEM ems is your best bet.

Angus those welds looks sick! And I mean that in a goodway.Nice price too,especially compared to the competition.Its about time someone post reasonable pricing around here.Having pieced together my s2k turbo kit,im aware of cost for custom fabrication,etc.And a lot of these companys,if not all,are charging outrageous prices for their setups.Maybe because the NSX is a higher end vehicle? Lame excuse if you ask me.

Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the input and kind words! I would like to add that AEM FIC is a great choice for OBDII cars , and will work on OBD1 also.

I am also including the magnaflow exhaust at no extra charge , due to popular demand!
the borla will still be available at additional cost.

Turbo kit pricing has nothing to do with the price of the car.

Re: DIY Turbo kit !

I would like to point out that the "tuner" kit , with the addition of AEM fic and injectors or AEM EMS , still makes this kit the best priced kit BY A MILE! , even with the addition of my upcoming intercooler , you still save thousands!

Re: DIY Turbo kit !

Turbo kit pricing has nothing to do with the price of the car.

id say thats a bit false...

a lot of high priced cars usually have a higher priced turbo kit... vice versa lower end cars have cheaper kits.

like a friend with the new si can get his kit for 3k and when i had my Z it was around 5-6k and now the nsx is averaging 9k.

but id say the reason for higher priced turbo kits for the NSX is because the market isnt as big compared to si's and such

I think he was talkin Nsx Talk!
And when you guys are finished playing with Turbo's, I can then help you out with your Supercharger installs! lol

Thats EXACTLY what I meant.You can get a S/C for an s2k for $5k but the price doubles for NSX.Is it because the market is smaller? Or because companys figure NSX owners have more $ to spend? I would say the answer is in the middle of those 2 choices.But if you guys wanna discuss that lets start another thread.Lets not whore Angus's thread.

Yah, he can come to Edmonton and order us around like he's Captain of the Capacola family, but we can't whore his thread!!!
He has threatened some of us to trade in our CTSC's, or else!:smile:

False ?? Your last statement is correct if anything. Once again the price of the car has NOTHING to do with the price of the car.

It would be terrible business sense to sell these kits @ 3K each. Think about it 18,000 cars produced with the only the 10th percentile driver open to modifications. Then more than half of said drivers will limit themselves to basic bolt ons (not FI). With all of these variables you will be lucky to sell 500-600 kits total. So sell 500-600 kits sold to cover purchasing a NSX for R & D, umlimited phone support for existing customers, hand fabrication time, inquiries etc. With the afforementioned it is not as lucrative as it seems when you think outside of the box.

A Heffner Gallardo turbo system costs even more for the same reason.
