    Powertrain FOR SALE: C30A engine + 5sp transmission w/ JDM short gears

    I think it's been 30 calendar days since my original post so I'm gonna bump this thread. Have had a few nibbles on the engine and trans separately. Feel free to send me offers! Worst I can do is secretly scoff then politely decline (because although my mother didn't raise me right, I still...

    Powertrain FOR SALE: C30A engine + 5sp transmission w/ JDM short gears

    Correct, it was an Exige with a supercharged K24. As for what is going in the NSX, I'm keeping tight-lipped about it until it actually starts happening. I don't want to jinx anything!

    Powertrain FOR SALE: C30A engine + 5sp transmission w/ JDM short gears

    This is a VERY good question that I unfortunately do not have a very good answer for. Previous owner didn't have that great of records so I can only tell you they were installed less than 159,815 miles ago. It retains the stock final drive. Been meaning to modify the original post to include...

    HELP: What exhaust is this?

    I'm selling off some parts from my car to help fund an engine swap. When I bought the car, the previous owner told me that the exhaust was from TaiTec, but from my research I don't actually think it is. There are no discernible markings or branding on the thing so I'm hoping y'all can help me...

    Seattle. Sorry I'll add that to the original post.

    Powertrain FOR SALE: C30A engine + 5sp transmission w/ JDM short gears

    EDIT: It has come to my attention that some people have come across other listings that my friend has made as well. He is doing the engine swap project with me and I have asked him to list this stuff on Facebook Marketplace as well as other sites because I hate dealing with FB. So no, he isn't...

    FOR SALE: Dali Racing aluminum coolant tank

    Do you have a stock engine maintenance lid? Or the mesh one where the engine bay is exposed to the sun? I've heard so many mixed opinions on stock vs aftermarket coolant expansion tanks. Some swear by the original because of the internal multi-chamber design which aftermarket tanks lack. Some...

    FOR SALE: Dali Racing aluminum coolant tank

    This came on the car when I bought it. It works, no leaks, I'm just looking to return to stock. I am not sure what the grey/green goop is on the upper port is -- it's hard, not rubbery, so it's not some kind of gasket sealer as far as I can tell. Asking $100 OBO + shipping.

    Update: We're limiting production of our NSX parts. No new development will be made for future projects.

    Facebook and all other forms of social media in their current forms are a cancer upon humanity. All their algorithms do is target our brain stems to maximize engagement at the cost of all else. If you were to eliminate Facebook from your decision-making, I'll bet your decision might be...

    My mis-adventures in engine-out maintenance...

    Hmm, good luck to you on this. I'd love to see it. I'm clearly no expert but I just don't see how the engine + transmission can come out the top of the engine bay. I definitely have not tried it myself so I could be absolutely wrong. Speaking of not being an expert. I tried repainting my valve...

    My mis-adventures in engine-out maintenance...

    Unfortunately, I didn't have access to a hoist nor did I have the room in my garage to use one if I did. So dropping the entire subframe was the answer for me and it's actually really easy to do it that way. Once you've drained the coolant, it's relatively easy and quick to get everything...

    My mis-adventures in engine-out maintenance...

    More progress on the NSX the past few days. Been cleaning up the engine block, it ain't OCD clean but it is WAY better than it was before -- caked in years of oil and dirt. It was like scraping off 1/8" of gunk that felt like melted fruit rollups. I spent a good amount of time scraping off the...

    Hmm, I'm not quite sure what part you are talking about here. Can you be more specific please? This is something I definitely don't want to mess up!

    My mis-adventures in engine-out maintenance...

    Well, that begs the question: what else is incorrect in the 91-96 FSM?? Is there a repository of revisions documented somewhere on the forum?

    My mis-adventures in engine-out maintenance...

    Love this idea except that I have no way of telling what else I'll screw up in the future that will necessitate another order... I suppose I could hold off on reinstalling the spool valve until after I've done more work. Interesting about the service manual update. Would the 97-05 manual...

    My mis-adventures in engine-out maintenance...

    Finally had some time to make more progress on the engine. Was able to install the Lost Motion Assemblies from Science of Speed, upon inspection the stock LMAs were pretty gummed up -- glad to do this upgrade! The rear bank's cam shafts and associated hardware: Working on the valvetrain is...

    BC Racing Coilovers - Comprehensive Review

    Has anyone tried the higher spec BC coilovers? (DS, ER, and ZR) Obviously, I feel like near the top end folks will opt for a something like JRZs or Ohlins but their DS and ER series look interesting....

    My mis-adventures in engine-out maintenance...

    Yup! AC lines stayed connected to the compressor. Removed it then used a bungie cord to secure it away from the subframe as it came out. What would you like to know about the Exige? I swapped in a K24A2 and bolted a roots supercharger to it with a2w charge-cooling. It was tuned pretty...

    My mis-adventures in engine-out maintenance...

    Semi-experienced shade tree mechanic here taking some time to tackel some deferred maintenance on my 1991 Formula Red NSX. Had the car since the end of 2020 and finally figured it's time as the weather is no longer freezing here in the PNW. This will include the timing belt, water pump, all...

    MITA Motorsports 7S wheels

    Looking sweet! Would you mind snapping a few more photos from other angles? Front and rear 3/4 view would be great to see fitment. There are currently no other photos of these wheels installed on cars!

    When are we gonna be able to see photos of those sweet 7S wheels on actual customer cars? I'm sad I missed the group buy for them and would love to see how they look in the real world on real cars!
