You are rolling the dice when you send Mark money. While a lot of people here have purchased from him with no issues, when there is a problem it is significant; he will refuse to refund your money and will not communicate with you in any way. Basically, his customer service policy is to dare you...

It was in the IAA system, where they go to be auctioned when the insurance company writes them off and takes possession of them. Some states play looser than others with title status and it may have been pulled back out at some point. But, if it was in the system, the insurance company...

If you just inject more gas do you make more power? Of course not.

E85 makes LESS power than gasoline per unit. If you will not see a significant benefit from taking advantage of the increased octane (very high compression or boost) you will make less power. Period.

ask Tony Talk to Tony at T1; he has had a couple of nsx motors built locally and can give you some good input. He's a great guy and really knows his stuff. 5121 Grisham Dr Ste A Rowlett, TX 75088 Email: [email protected] Phone: 214-607-9022 Fax: 214-607-9090

my .02 I usually go with 9 to 9.5:1 compression for turbo motors. I have found it to be a good compromise between higher compression (which gives better response, but limits boost, all else equal) and really low compression (more boost, less responsive). For some perspective, in reality, 9.5 is...

Two Choices Send it to someone who does a lot of nsx motors. As mentioned, SoS has several packages for rebuilds. And, RS Machines does a lot of them for off-road racers. Best of luck with your project.

If all you do is run forged pistons in a C30, you could probably put 550-575 or so hp to the wheels safely. IIRC, SoS has a thread about a build like that with Cody's turbo system on it.

If you still need help with this, PM me.

That can't be true, Shawn. I heard from this one guy that his cousin's sister's neighbor's cat's vet's receptionist's boyfriend bought something from Dali and it actually showed up. So, that proves he's honest. ; )

Damn right, that engine bay is just embarrassing. The only nice part is the awesome powder coating on the intake mani cover and valve covers. ; ) Here ya go - its on its way. Should be there early next week.

I have lived in Dallas, Houston and San Antonio. Dallas is the only one worth considering.

Okay, on to another nsx related project. Does anyone in Austin have an intake manifold or intake gasket that is off the car? I need a measurement. Thanks.

I think that is actually Shawn's car.

Vance, is the subject of this car a completely stock OEM vehicle? If so, I sincerely apologize; if not, then you are once again completely out of your depth in this discussion. Perhaps you should just stick to tiresome lectures about how great parts only come from Japanese vendors or how the...

Swain is my favorite, but some people don't like the texture their coating produces. JetHot would be my second choice.

Now THAT is funny. Comments like this are why it is often hard for me to take this forum seriously. Hell, two years ago (just for laughs) I helped a friend build a junker EF that ran in the 11s all motor, on pump gas, just working a few weekends with crap we had sitting around in his shop. I...

You should read the posts in the vendor experience section from the people he has ripped off before you do business with him.

TW sucks. The company has no concept of customer service. If you have any issue, expect to wait 2-10 days for a tech to show up. And the arrival window is generally "sometime between 8am and 8pm." Despite that, they wouldn't accept my promise that I would pay my bill "sometime between Jan and...

For starters, you would have to send money to a guy who has ripped off many of the people on this forum. . . .

For context, I have run a 12.8x in a bone-stock '97 at the Houston track with just the basic drag strip lightening (no spare, almost empty tank, etc.) and drag radials. I'm sure a better driver than me could have done the same on the stock tires. Car and Driver TV ran 12.9 two years in a row...

I wouldn't have put so much effort into powder coating that stuff if I had known Ponyboy was going to hang that ghetto alternator next to it. . . .

Well, at 450 whp, you are right at the upper limit of what the motor will do stock; that's why I use the term 'modest.' Think of it more as a factor of the solid original design and not as disparaging to the actual power level. ; )
