Thank you sir. Shad was cussing up a SOS storm yesterday. I guess the ems we bought from them wasn’t wired right. But he got it all under wraps.

Oh that is a great sight and sound. Congratulations.
Thanks.
Got the break in today. Dyno numbers are a bit weak. But torque curve is awesome. The car pulls strong as an ox and that is all that matters to me. It’s is a bit disheartening but I am optimistic in how it actually drives.Peak torque at 290. I could pick up more hp if I remove the cats, but I do not want to. I want to drive it on the street and not the track.

290 ft-lb seems pretty good. What is the whp?
Remember that we don't inspections in Florida. Get the bypass pipes and see if you like them. For more power I'd do it.
400 whp on first tune. He is gonna try for more on Monday.
I’m Not sure I’ll like the heavy noise it’ll make though. I may try it though.
Cool that it's alive again AJ! Looks like a good way to start the new year.
The apx with TPs is absurdly loud and it sounds fantastic. However, it will get annoying pretty fast. I'm pretty sure it's what has made me lose the enjoyment of any loud exhaust. :smile:

Thank you Chris. Yeah, when I removed the taitec exhaust I could definitely feel a loss of power. But I also lost annoying drone and I no longer got headaches after a 1 hour drive. I love the apx. It’s just the right amount of nasty and nice.
I was aiming for 440 whp. But with the blower size and engine displacement I guess that was just a pipe dream. 420 would be nice.
Oh, I almost forgot. The pulley is a 9 pound pulley. Boost hits 6 psi at 2500 and 9.1 at 4000 rpm.
Now,I am happy with THIS!
Wtf, posting pics here is like performing Brian surgery.
Just made the transport appointment. Two weeks away from pick up, 1 week delivery.
Just had the motor leak down tested and compression checked. 175 psi and less that 5% leakage. So I think we are finally finished for now.
congrats! how exciting!
Shad recommends a guy up in Jacksonville I think or Orlando, somewhere north. Will get his contact info soon. Either that or I will be looking for one. But for now, I’m hoping to have many years of trouble free fun. The car runs without a hiccup according to Shad.
Congratulations!!!
A nine month rebuild really isn't that bad in the NSX world. Sadly, I've seen a lot worse.
The torque looks pretty good.... What brand/compression pistons did you end up going with?

Thanks. And also thanks RYU. The pistons were custom size. Unsure of the brand or size. We did the bore at just over 3.1 I’ll find out the specifics.
The wait sucked. But I’m happy I took it DA. I got a brand new blower for free and got a very nice deal on the aftercooler.
