???????????????
Craigs was at 605rwhp.
Factor was having clutch issues I believe.

Don't forget the C16 Fuel you could probably run near NA ignition timing with decent race fuel. That might explain the higher HP numbers.
HP will get my business because of that statement right there.
+1, I've gone from a CTSC in my future to an HP turbo. No doubt about it.
After reading this thread, I am having a huge dilema. I currently have a CTSC, so I dont know if I want to swap it out for this kit, or add on the high boost kit.
Decisions, decisions.

That's pretty amazing, what boost do you run it on daily, and how many of those miles have actually been done with the kit on?
Congrats
And for some reason, the turbo kits haven't popped engines... i'm not trying to say they won't (and there are obviously much less cars running Turbo vs. CTSC which should also be considered) but it seems like an awful lot of expense and work goes into having supercharger setups create considerably less power, and with no additional benefit of added reliability and engine safety.

There are very few (less then 20) turbo nsx on the road versus 300-400 supercharged nsx's on the road. Turbo kits HAVE broken nsx engines. your whole logic "it seems like an awful lot of expense and work goes into have a supercharger setups that creat less power".--- is flawed
A) A supercharger kit is a simpler and cleaner install
B) A supercharger kit (comptech) is SMOG legal in CA.. NO turbo kit is or will be smog legal.. so if having a car that can legallally be driven on the road is a priority to you.
C)my comptech kit makes 367 rwhp on a dynoget chassis dyno (autowave) at 5.5 PSI. I have been running it without issue for 5 years. This IS decent power for a nsx and has proven reliability. This is also comparible power to what a turbo kit at similar psi.
D) if your goal is big power, (over 400hp) then you need to build your engine - at least with forged pistons.. whether you go turbo or SC. Kips SC nsx makes 500 RWHP all day long and is the most track capable nsx .. period.
What makes a turbo or SC car reliable is a) your tuner, lean tune avoid detonation b) whether you run too much boost for the cast pistons and stock engine.
Thanks

My car went 10.92 @ 133mph 510hp
10.73 @ 135mph 531hp
10.48 @ 139mph 605hp

Has anyone actually used a FI NSX to race?
i also agree that a SC setup is messier than a turbo...this is an opinion comment i guess but a turbo is WAY easier to install....
this picure shows the system as it would install......if you can bolt on a muffler....you can bolt on my system...and prolly lovefabs too, although his is somewhat different...
oh yeah great job on those numbers...good to see this car is not as dead as it feels....
