From what I understand from reviewing numerous header information, I learned that the Fujitsubo and some other JDM header makers make the collection pipe with 60mm size. Taitec is 50mm. If you are a brass instrument player, you will know that it makes a huge difference between the voice - Very similar to trumpet and trumbone differences.
So I anticipated that deep sound because I find the higher pitch slightly on the annoying side. But again, that is matter of personal taste. Scorp92/John loves his v.5.

your NSX-R service manual will arrive in about 2-3 weeks and will cost you your left and right nut.
your temp gauge and shift lights will be working properly very soon
have you seen THE GRINDHOUSE - PLANET TERROR yet?

I was just joking about the RHD, I actually found the LHD version.
So it will actually fit!!! Yeah, it's a replica, not quite the same as the real deal.
he doesn't have the NSX-R hinges and bolts for the mesh engine cover either :tongue:
Don't hate:biggrin:
I have always been a little skeptical about my 302 dyno'd number from Autowave. So finally, I had the chance to redyno my car by using Dynojet.
Autowave used Dynodynamic. They are located at Sea Level, and the previous dyno was done in April of 06. The result was 302 (best run).
Now I have a more clear number from SR Motorcars. The car was dyno'd on a Dynojet system, and was done yesterday. I was surprised by the result.
The shop is in Gardena California, which is above sea level, and the temperature was about 15 degree hotter than my previous dyno at Autowave.
295 rwp was what I got.
So regardless what the true number it is, the car definitely have around 300-ish rwp. Therefore, for those who questioned Autowave's number, I think they should be very accurate. NA application. If you read my autowave dyno, the VTEC was stronger. Regardless, I'm happy. I do however, believe the engine can achieve 320rwp. Port polish and perhaps ITB?
BTW, there was a NA1 NSX with Taitec exhaust, which dyno'd at 250, which is consist with what I have seen from dynos from all over the country. Use that as bench mark, I think Dynojet is a very good system.
NSX1/Steve got 295 rwp for his late model 02 through autowave dyno. And it is with Comptech header exhaust system with Cats.
Also, thanks to RJP, I got my final piece of NSX hardware. The front metal under cover. Thanks!!!

Congrats Vance. 300-ish rwhp is awesome for an NA2 with just bolt ons. Keep adding more horses and I'll need to increase my boost just to stay ahead.

Danny

Vance, the black strips on the sides of your metal pan...the parts that we were waiting on...arrived today. Do you still want me to send them out? Perhaps THEY are the last pieces :smile:

A nice little touch to the car, after market floor mat with JDM NSX-R Floor Mat emplems.
The OEM floor mat set comes with one emblem, but I was greedy, so I got two emblems:biggrin:
Some one one prime thought the emblem on the NSX-R Floor mat is the same size and shape the the "DOHC VTEC" emblems on the NA1 NSX Arm rest, it wasn't case. It is bigger.
Here is the black set I got for a friend without engraving.
Thanks to RJP
I got the real JDM NSX-R Metal aero undercover cover, the piece behind the Front bumper under plastic cover.
Pertty much everything on the car is JDM NSX-R, with the exception of final drive, hood and spoiler. Those will be next.

Hi Vance,
As always, your NSX is looking top dollar! CAn I ask if you had any issues with painting the CF hood?
I have the ProCar hood in the bodyshop at the moment. I rejected first paint. I have been told that it is a characteristic of CF manufacture that paint can suffer from 'sinking' as the CF dries due to heat exposure from the car and the elements. It is being re-polished andhopefully installed 2mrow.
I have also been told that the sinking effect may return over time?
Your thoughts appreciated.
regards, Paul

Paul, my DF CF hood is showing the CF weave, it is normal for that to happen. When painting onto CF, the paint will react differently than metal. It will soak into the materials that is holding the hood together.
Is that what you are talking about?

Hi Vance,
Yes, exactly what I'm referring too. Had the hood installed today, very pleased with fit n finish is better thanx to a repolish. Paint shop said that unless you apply loads of paint it is unlikely that you can loose the weave.
Thanx for your response.
