Ok, I've searched the FAQ and past posts on this subject and may have missed something pertinent, but why are there no reasonably priced turbo kits for the NSX?
Shows like Tuner Transformation and NOPI Tunervision on SpeedTV would lead me to believe that applying FI to many Japanese cars is not that big of a problem. Granted, it is possible that most of these engines are suffering disastrous consequences after such mods, but I wouldn't think that is the case. And tuning for proper AFR doesn't appear to present much of a problem. Also, other than engine-specific brackets, it would appear that people are using off-the-shelf components to comprise the bulk of their turbo systems. I'm obviously talking about moderate horsepower boosts (+/-100)to primarily stock engines here.
So what's different about the NSX engine? Just the relatively small numbers to experiment with and the high price of engine failure? Or are there some other basic reasons?
Also, for someone who wants to learn a LOT more about the nuts and bolts of turbo systems and fuel management systems (and I'm not just talking about theory - I mean practical application), what are some good sources of such info?
Any information would be appreciated.
