So are you staying with the beta system or "upgrading" to the new system with the larger injectors?

Ha! And to think everyone blasted me about my previous comments about needing larger injectors. In the end, that is what they used. Its amazing how people to come to a quick conclusion about something so new and untested only to be wrong.

It is a Mugen wing, but I believe it has been discontinued.

I think that the market for forced induction systems has gotten big enough now that an individual forum section would be nice to have. Anyone else thinking the same?

Have you checked the direct ignition packs? If you have any of the igniton packs reversed from the front bank to the rear bank, it could result in mis-firing.

He might of been referring to UPRD, Under Pressure Research & Develpement, who I think switched ownership or went belly up. They used to be the offical importers for Advan at the time last year.

Just wanted to make sure if the bore and stroke on the 5 Speed 3.0 engine and the Automatic 3.0 are the same. Anyone?

Actually it is "Wilwood"

Anyone know if failing shocks can contribute to sagging ride height? I was told by someone that only springs affect the ride height, but I just want to make sure.

Well, I believe he was asking for a comparison between the U.S. spec WRX and not a special edition WRX STI Version V Type R, that is not avaiable here. The WRX that is avaiable here is much slower and probably costs much less than that special edition version. Now, if you compare a NSX Type...

There is one car I know of in the U.S. that has transplanted a Japanese Type-S 6 speed tranny into a 1992 5 speed. So, I guess it could be done.

err....guess I'm wrong hehe....

I don't think its a good idea to try to polish magnesium wheels. I remember something about corrosion problems or seomthing like that. Could be wrong, but I haven't seen a set yet thats been polished. Maybe it could work if you get a real good clear coat, also I don't know if magnesium would...

He got it used. And its not from Mr. Ogose's car. I believe there are at 3-5 people in the U.S. with type-r suspension. Most buy it used in Japan. To buy a new type-r suspension even if you have a type-r owner's certificate, is very expensive. [This message has been edited by 19inchNSX...

Not exactly, true. Alex Vizcarra has the Type-R suspension on his car. [This message has been edited by 19inchNSX (edited 16 December 2001).]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the OEM carbon dash is an actual whole piece, and not a carbon decal or dash kit.

Looks like a older model BBS mesh wheel that is discontinued. Probably from BBS Japan. I think it would look a lot better with more updated wheels. [This message has been edited by 19inchNSX (edited 16 December 2001).]

Uh, did you just compare New York city cabs with our NSX High Pefromance engines? :P As with tires, why buy a High Peformance car only to skimp on the the little things. $25,000 engine, vs $3-$5 oil. I'll take the extra insurance.

Looking at Chris' mods on scienceofspeed, I believe he has the short gears and 4.23 R&P, so I don't think comparing the two would be possible since Sinbad's Turbo has only a clutch upgrade and everything else in the tranny is stock.

The OEM injectors are either 240cc or 250. The Prelude injectors are 270cc.

Just wanted to remind everyone that products are never perfect when introduced no matter how much testing you do on them. For example, Car makers, computers, etc. And while Basch is beta testing the supercharger, I am sure given the budget of Comptech R&D, that they tested their unit more than...

I think everyone should just take it easy . I had the same questions about the fuel, injectors, etc that I posted under a different thread. I think the question of fuel, injectors, etc is a valid question given the horsepower numbers quoted, and everyone should not be in such a rush to...

Could be wrong, but maybe its because the wear from your tires. The radius of the tire probably got reduced from the trip there and if you did any track driving. If the radius is reduced, it might cause the car to read at a higher speed.

The Turbo runs using both sides of the manifolds.

Well, I propose that we have a dyno run off between the the Turbo and the Basch Supercharger on the same dyno. Anyone else want to see something like that?
