Turbo NSX

[NorCalwhite]

The other night at our Club meeting, Gerry Johnson showed up with his Turbo NSX, he did all the work himself and I was quite impressed with the workmanship of all the improvments he has done. from his fixed headlights, lexan/scoop engine cover,
all the plumbing for the turbo and exhaust.
His shop is Performance Autoworx in Modesto.
I'm not sure if he reads these posts or not,
but I think we shall be hearing from this guy a lot in the future.

Yep, I tried to post on Tuesday to this forum using as subject heading "430+ RWHP Drive' but it never accepted .......

After months of promises from Gerry that he will attend one of our meetings, he finally made it worthwhile. Al and I lurked around long enough that we got a chance to take a ride with Gerry (who does read these once in a while). All I can say I was awed and made sure I was securely belted, both knees bent to make sure, ..... as I listened to the turbo's woosh sound after each throttle play ........ wow ...... and Gerry was primarily in the 3500-6000 RPM range and still running low boost [we got tangled with the traffic from the Kings/Lakers game] - just think of the 500+ he has once he finishes mapping the fuel ........ !

Never been in a street legal car with such HP ..... it requires an entirely different set of driving skills with razor sharp reflexes ....... some of us are past that age

..... just awesome acceleration with no turbo lag whatsoever ........

As always, this may not be for everyone but just another option out there for all ......

Good show Gerry.

Good; that means he finally got his short block back together. I hope he took some pix of the Darton sleeves before he put it back together.

 

[Gerry Johnson]

Yes David, I did take some pics as I assembled the motor, once I figure out how to post I will post them, Thank you Hrant for the good word. I will let you know after Monday the final hp numbers when I get back from the dyno.

 

[Hrant]

By the way Gerry, let us know when you are planning to test the 1/4 mile at 10:56 seconds ......... we will be there to cheer
