Supercharge NSX Australia

[rave777]

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if anyone in Australia has a Supercharged nsx, or if they have had any experience with a supercharged nsx?

Thanks.

 

[AU_NSX]

Short answer... No

Long answer... No

However there are 2 turbo charged NSX's. 1 single turbo and 1 twin turbo

As far as I know...

 

[rave777]

are the owners of these two turbo nsx's members of this forum?

do you know which part of Australia these nsx's live in?

thanks.

1 of them is...

do you know which part of Australia these nsx's live in?

1 lives in Adelaide, 1 in Sydney

BTW there is another in Brisbane but that is a race car owned by Ian Palmer and you can see it in the Nations Cup series (if it starts up again this year)

Why the interest?

 

[rave777]

I was just wondering if someone could tell me what it is like and if the modifications where worth the money.

I am wanting to get an NSX someone in the not to distant future and I was just thinking of possibilities and in the meantime seeing what other peoples experiences are.

 

[rave777]

I am an idiot.

I just noticed that you have a twin turbo nsx listed under your post, so I assume it is yours.

What is it like to drive compared to a standard nsx. In the way of driveability, smoothness as well as performance.

If you want to talk TT, <B>AU_NSX</B> is your man. Of course, he'll be too modest to tell you how good it is. It does 0-60 at the speed of light.

Rave i know i might be different, but can i ask what car you drive now? It wouldnt be tt wrx or something like that?

For someone to say that they would like to go Forced Induction without having an NSX is either heavily into mods or simply doesnt know much. Have you driven one yet? I have no problem with the speed but of course we would like more but prices are way over the top for the performance.

A Comptech Supercharger will cost us Aussie ~$10k just to get it here, Then to install you need to find someone you can trust???????????

To get TT you are an idiot. Asked AVOturbo and the asking price is $40K (can nearly get another NSX) but to get it really hooked up like AU ask him how much the ex owner had to modify it after.


HOWEVER i do know of one person who has brought t.he Comtech supercharger and if he can get it running well i might have to ship the Boys at FACTOR X to come on down

At the moment I drive a 2002 Spirit R RX7 twin turbo.

I have driven an NSX and I think it is awesome as is, I was just curious about prices and if anyone around had one. Wanted to know if the extra performance would be worth the money or not.

It was just a thought.

Dippy9, how have you got your NSX set up?

 

[AU_NSX]

I agree with dippy9 100% on this...

My car has had over $160K invested in modifications so far by the previous owner (not including purchase price!) and I'm not finished yet... I will be spending some more money on it myself to enhance some areas where I still think an improvement can be made. Mainly in the areas of aerodynamics and intercooling.

The TT set-up is the sweetest I have ever driven. No turbo lag and really more power than I could ever want. I can't really describe how awesome the car is with so much power at my disposal in what I believe is one of the sweetest chassis ever made.

I would think that you would own or at the very least drive an NSX before making the decision that it doesn't have enough power and you want to give it FI?

HP is not really what the NSX is all about... It's about balance and handling. The people who are into riding sports bikes (not Harleys) on a winding mountain road are the people that the NSX would appeal to. It is the man/machine interface. NSX ownership is about driving enjoyment! It is not about impressing your mates, or boulevard cruising... An NSX owner is not pretentious or a poseur, if he/she was they would have bought a European "thoroughbred" or something that looks like Neo's avatar... :biggrin: (I can say that Neo as I know you would never own such a car!)

Since you don't own an NSX currently, I am assuming that money at the moment is the issue. If this is the case then buying and then even thinking of turbo charging or supercharging is just a fantasy...

If you really want a high HP car... Have you looked at getting a Nissan GTR? It may be more in your budget right now. No offence is intended … It is just that the NSX was not a cheap car when it was new, it is not a cheap car to repair, and it costs a fortune to modify... They were an exclusive and exotic sports car when new as they still are today.

Hope this helps…

Thanks for the advice.

The only thing stopping me from getting an NSX right now is I have to sell my car to buy one. As soon as I sell my car I will try to find one and buy it.

I have only driven an NSX briefly once and that was amazing. I loved it! This question was really only to see if there were any in Australia that had superchargers and for my curiosity.

How is your other NSX set up?

Understandable...

basically stock (Hey Neo!... :biggrin: ) ok, not really... CF CA Intake, extractors, cat pipes, free flowing exhaust, 17/18 AZEV wheels... But it is NA! :biggrin:

 

[NeoNSX]

basically stock (Hey Neo!... :biggrin: )

Stock?

Your NSX has more 'rice' than Dippy's restaurant! ROFL


Abt your comment on my avatar... hehehe... i like bling just not on <B>my</B> NSX. Stock 91 rims for me allllllllll the way.

 

[dippy9]

Holy cow,

sorry for the thread to blow up RAVE777 but it just seems incomprehensible to me that alot of people put it down because they hear "there is not enough power" are you kidding me? All the people i have let drive my car (and ask Neo this i let a lot of people drive it,) has all said the same thing, "Hell there is so much more power than i could use" and we thought you were one of them.
However who knows you might be crazy like AU so your question could be justified. SInce you are new let me tell you one thing. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET ANY PARTS FOR YOUR NSX IN AUSTRALIA. couple of website are good including www.scienceofspeed.com, www.daliracing.com and www.gt-rom.net but its best to talk to us to organise group buys.

Any questions will be answered to help you out but try to use the search button in the forums section, do your research on the NSX, just because the car is becoming more realistic in prices doesnt mean parts will drop does it?
Very expensive parts for a very expensive car.

Very funny Neo....

For once in my life I have no retort... You have me lost for words...

Looks like I am going to have to repay you... I've decided that you will be the first passenger in the TT when it does get down to Melbourne.... Then we'll see who's lost for words.... muahhaha (Dr Evil laugh...)

:biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

 

[NeoNSX]

Now I am lost for words.... so many mixed emotions... ... hang on... :redface: i think i just wet myself just at the thought of being in ur TT NSX... :redface: yup...

muahhaha (Dr Evil laugh...) :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

i was trying to find that famous photoshopped picture of Dr.Evil patting a bottle of NOS... can't find it. but i thought it would have been approperiate here.



<B>Rave777</B> : Don't mind Dippy... he is a really a nice guy. But what he was saying is true, the NSX looks weak on paper but once you've been in one, they feel WAAAAYYYY more powerful than you can imagine. Unless you're a power-crazed lunatic with plans for world domination (like <B>AU_NSX</B> ) forget the TT setup. It's not really practical here in Australia with such a small number of NSX's and such expensive installation costs. You'd be better off buying a 2nd NSX or putting that money into a bodykit/loads of stickers so it looks faster.
Besides, <B>Dippy</B> doesn't want you to get a TT because then he'll have to get one too. LOL j/k
