Awesome. Do you have an estimate of how many hours it would take a skilled shop to install it?

A shop who knows their way around an NSX and turbocharging should be able to install the kit in around 20 hours.
Out of curiosity sake, does it come with any installation instructions?
Hey Cody,
Have you dynoed either of the two cars that currently have this kit? I am just curious to see what they are putting down.
Also, what is the limit of the smaller T4 turbo that you are using? Is it going to be maxed out at around 425rwhp? Or can its power delivery range from 350rwhp to 420rwhp running between 6-8psi of boost? Basically, I am simply wondering how realistic is it for this kit to achieve 400rwhp on safe boost levels on a stock bottem end?
350to420rwhp is a broad range. So, are most cars looking at the 350rwhp? Or closer to 400rwhp?
Thanks again, and I will be calling you this week.

Will the kit work with Comptech Headers?
lots of interest here 2.
awaiting a bit more info and pics
thanks

The turbo that we chose should net close to 500whp if you decide to push the envelope(I wouldn't try this on a stock motor). Rest assured, 400whp will be a walk in the park.
Comptech headers probably won't fit because they have never matched up to factory 97+/DC/Taitec/Cantell headers, so our turbo system fitment may be comprimised. However, you are welcome try them. If the fitment isn't what we have designed, you'll just have to order our headers, or snag a set of 97+ factory headers which will be perfectly adequate for 400whp. We have a car running around right now with close to 600whp using the factory 1997 headers.

Good deal Cody. That is what I wanted to hear. :biggrin:
I got your PM. I will try to give you a call later on today so I can put down a deposit, and run through a couple of items with you.
Thanks again,
Nathan
I'm guessing your headers will work better though? Looks like I'm going to have a BIG winter project either way!!! Do you have pictures of the intercooler yet?
If you read some of the posts above, he lists the compnents out.
I will let Cody tell you what his install and tuning costs are. You will get a faster response if you PM him with your question though.
Nathan
Any updates on people who have purchased this kit? Curious as to the #'s people are putting down and overall drivability of the setup.
I should have my kit next week. Then I will have to install it the following week. Then I have to drive up to Cody to have him tune it. So, I am shooting to have some numbers by the end of the month. If I can do it sooner, then great. But realistically it will be towards the end of the month.
I will post up a complete review of the kit once I receive it and it is installed.
Thanks,
Nathan
Fantastic...thanks. I can't decide which direction to go right now...so similar yet so different. (SC vs Turbo). It may come down to availability over all else but I'd appreciate some feedback. Mainly on how the car drives, lag, etc.
I've ridden in a Lovefab and Comptech F/I NSX and it's night and day difference. I will be going turbo without a doubt!!!
The only good thing about my review is that I used to have an Autorotor CTSC setup, that I just sold. So, I will be able to give a good comparison between the two. Given that the drive from Michigan to Nashville is a long one, I will have plenty of miles and various scenarios to write about :biggrin:
Nathan
Looking forward to it. I was worried about passing emissions, but now I know how to deal with that....
Then I was worried about having to sell my headers/exhaust...but it sounds like I can keep my headers, and it should be too hard to sell a GTLW (especially one that hasn't shown up yet)
Now I'm just concerned about how the car actually drives. I love how it is right now, I don't want any huge bursts of power....especially with my short gears and rear end setup (which I may switch regardless).
This kit seems to be the answer.
Hey guys, we still have a few spots left at the $8,495.00 price.
We just completed an install onto a 1995 NSX with a factory engine and clutch. We are glad to report that the power ended up where we thought it should.
At 6psi with wastegate spring only, we made 357.1whp and 264.7wtq.
At 8psi with wastegate spring only, we ended up making 398.5whp and 299.3wtq. Here is the dyno chart:
I have some videos to post soon, but in the meantime, I have to get back to welding! :biggrin:

Cody,
Excellent to see and hear. Now get that kit off of the car, and get it shipped down to me sucka

Thanks for the update.
