My NSX didnt come from part-master.com but thats where most repo'ed cars are. Some are from private sellers. I had it inspected so im not worried about it.

I want a JGTC style c.f. race/street car. They look awesome!
- Thread starter racer
- Start date
I wonder how much extra it would cost to put that car on insurance and to maintain it. If something seriously goes wrong with the car while racing, its gonna cost $$$$ to get it back running. Yo can spend 40K on the car to modify it. Whats left on insurance, maintanence costs, or repair costs if anything blows its top?
As I think I mentioned earlier I wouldnt have the money right away to spend on any broken parts and I would'nt have the money to fund a season racing at all right now and not for a few years. I can drive around on 10lbs. of boost or so for daily driving and every once and awhile take it to nsx meets or track or something. I wouldnt drive it on the streets daily at more boost than that. I got the nsx for its reliability and I dont want to loose that. I'll find out what turbo it uses as well as the kits other components tomorrow. Im calling him to find out tomorrow. Do any of you know who makes a short shifter for the nsx? Who do you think makes the best clutch,flywheel,headers,exhaust,exhaust down pipes,wastegates,blow off valves,intercoolers,ecu,as well as some other engine parts? I heard hks is good and reliable.

Hey how do you make 400hp at the wheels or more from a na 94 nsx engine? What exact parts would you need? Also if you were coming off the line wouldnt you feel the power faster than if you turbo or supercharged your motor and had the same hp? Does sorcery make a body kit and do you know how much it weighs and whats it made from? Ive seen the front bumper but nothing else. I seen that cybernationmotorsports.com nsx and I like it. Do you recommend a 4:23.1 r&p from japan or a 4:55.1 r&p from comptech and the comptech short gears or the nsx-r short gears? Thanks.

Almost every question you want answered is pretty much in the CONTENTS section of this website. In all truth, what you do with the NSX is your own personal preferrance. Just remember to get a JGTC spec car NA, its probably gonna cost you a 7 figure money.
I don't know what else you want, but to only have ~40K and want to do the things that you are mentioning is not realistic IMO. Even with a Supra or RX-7 you'll have to spend at a min of ~30K to set up a nice ride done right. For the NSX..... you are looking at way more money (around 30K just for the motor if you want to turbo charge it with high boost!). If you try to cut corners, you'll find yourself "blowing" that money even with an honest 10 lbs of boost to the motor.
You know it is your money and I respect that; I just hope you think things through carefully and lean on the conservative side when it comes to setting up the motor.
Good Luck,

n reference to who makes that kit, it sounds like your building a similar car to
the car we are building this year (with the help of Science of Speed)and
Cris's connections with the vendors currently in his site.I highly recommend
SOS.For the mark-up he uses is very humble and he has been extremely
helpful to streamline the coordination of such a prodject.
I estimated a total of approx. $35,000.00 in mods.Not including the cost of
the car used ,or the $$$ back on the parts pulled and sold within the NSX
community.
It would be full custom 2 tone interior/race seats/white gauge
cluster/nav/dvd/camp system/sound system/full race quality clutch
/tranny/rear-end gears/full Taitec body with wing/lexan hatch cover with air
scoop/lexan,carbon motor cover/fixed headlights/exhaust,headers/dual scoop
hood/basch supercharger w,NOS stacked ontop and progressive NOS controll
w, cuts out when XXX amount of boost is reached...the brake mods and
supension should account for another 12,000.00 give or take depending on
the level of each we choose but those will be done last.

That's some setup! Are you planning on running the NOS with the BSC keeping the stock block or running lower compression pistons and decking the block with ductile sleeves? Sounds pretty good. Are you also running a stand alone computer? DFI? Please let me know how it turns out!

I'll probably wind up doing a similar motor that Mark B. is currently building for himself that he showed me the other day.I dropped my car for the 455 gears,ring and pinion,short gears, and centerforce clutch.I should get the car back tomorrow Tues the 15 th'.I cant wait to feel the difference.
P.S DFI will definatly be in the picture and worth all the $$$ we pulled almost a full second off our drag car from 9.71 to 8.81 with the help of being able to see clearly what the DFI computer was telling us.
I was a very frustrated camper before I purchased the DFI.Now I swear by them well worth the $$$ you save in dyno time,weekends at the track,replacing slicks,and 110.00 worth of fuel every 3 passes at the track ,not to mention all the time wasted guessing at what the hell the car is doing internally and not really being sure if you dial tighter are we going to grenade the motor ..

Hey guys. What is oem and dfi stand for? I already have the car but it will not be for a few more months before I have the $35500 to $40k to spend on the car. I do need to plan this out carefully and figure in all the costs,installation,shipping and ohther stuff. I do want to do all this at once though so thats why im saving my money right now. I live in a townhouse community called The Gables in Gainesville. They're pretty nice townhouse's(bigger apartments) and I have a 1 car garage for my nsx. They run about 975 a month. I have the 1 bedroom though, the 2,3, and 4 bedroom townhouses run on up to $2k. Im in college and I cant afford that. I got the nsx repo'ed incase some people didnt know. I know how lucky I am to have these things but I plan on having alot more when I get older and pursue my racing career. Then I could own the whole community,lol. Could anyone answer how you can get 400hp+ out of a 94 engine and keep it na? What parts would I need and how much do they cost? Also where can I find them? I dont want to turbo charge the engine and pay that extra money to have the engine handle that much power. Does anyone make titanium or iconel rods,pulleys,cam gears,high lift vtec cam set,short gears,headers,exhaust and straight pipes,etc... Thanks guys.

That was 400hp+ at the wheels not the crank. I am going back to the bank today to deposit my paycheck. Working my way up to my car mods. I think a town house like that with a 1 car garage and 24h security for $975 is a good deal as I dont want my car stolen. I got a question for you older wiser people what are some good ways to invest my extra money? I have been saving money for this for a while since I got out of highschool or so. When I spend it I want to invest or save my extra money and make more of it. I put most of mine in my bank account and a tiny portion for savings but how do I seriously invest some and make money off it? Also what do you think my insurace would be? And can I get all the mods on my car insured some way incase they are stolen or broken or something? Thanks.

NSX comes stock with Titanium Connecting Rods.
headers are 1300 or so from SoS
NSX R Gears are 1000 or so from Dali
NSX-R 4.23 R&P are 1100 or so from Dali
Exhaust is something like 1500 from CT.
Cams are 3400 from Comptech
The ONLY way to get 400hp from an NSX engine while staying N/A will make the car so undriveable on the street that it'd be irritating as hell to even get it started.
I was planning on building a 360-hp N/A car until I looked at this:
Motec Fuel Controller $6,000.00
TWM Velocity Stacks &8,000.00
High Compression Pistons $2,600.00
High Lift Cams $3400.00
Head Port and Polish $1800.00
High Lift Springs and retainers : 900.00
Lexan Hatch and duct $1,200.00
Headers $1,300.00
Exhaust $1,200.00
Cat Bypass Pipes $250.00
Forged Connecting Rods $2500.00
For a WHOPPING Total of $29,150
NOT including Suspension, (1800.00)
Brake's ($3,000.00 for Brembo Lotus FRONT set only) New wheels to accomodate the Brake's, tires, and the Non Compliance Toe Links and Suspension beam.
Ooo, don't forget the Race seats, harness bar and belts. (Another $3,000.00+)
And these numbers don't include labor.
40K will not even come close. Not to mention all the body work you want done. (Another 15K if you use the CT Widebody as a reference kit)
OR your other option: BB Supercharger +Headers + exhaust $8300.00.
380rwhp.

There are other DFI units out there Fel-Pro a pretty well known company if I remember correctly the cost was 2500.00-3000.00 or more for the unit of course it depends on how many systems you want to monitor exhaust temp/air-fuel/fuel consumpion/traction the list goes on and on you can probably do you heart rate too if you got the $$$
Anyway the cost for install I paid was 1200.00 which is low .I was owed a partial favor from the shop.

Whats oem stand for? How much do you think high compression pistons,rods,crank,flywheel,race clutch,6 speed gearbox,ecu,headers,exhaust,exhaust straight pipes(or rapid race taitec jgtc exhaust with out cat. converters),titanium valve springs,high lift cams,short gears,pulleys,cam gears,port and polish heads,high volume oil pump,triple intake or better intake,o rings, and fuel management give me at the wheels? Also what would I have to do to the block? Whats the difference in high and low compression pistons,what are some examples like 8:1?

I dropped my car for
the 455 gears,ring and pinion,short gears, and centerforce clutch.I should get the car back tomorrow Tues the 15 th'.I cant wait to feel the
difference.
Whe'll I got the car back and there is a big difference in performance.A lot more often your in the power band.The new cluth is equally as precise as it is smooth.I did a couple launches 4-5 and 2-3 w/ NOS (very nice).The lag of 10,000 plus rpm drop is near no drop using a little NHRA style shifting,whereas before the work I could do nothing to avoid all the space between gears and serious rpm drop it wasnt even worth trying.My next thought was (its time to check the account balance and order some Basch Boost

IIRC, Dali Racing sells NSX clutches by Centerforce. Check one out
Nopi also carrys Centerforce clutches for the NSX.

Thats the clutch .Mark B. Just installed for me yesterday along w/short gears ring and pinion etc .Its a nice combo .Very nice

This really sucks. Here I am, in Michigan, hearing that all the good mechanics for the NSX is far far FAAAARRR away from where I live. Is there anyone near Michigan that can do these type mods (Clutches, headers, SC's, etc)? I dont want to think that I have to travel that far just to get my NSX serviced with a well-known mechanic for the NSX's.
