Fyi my low boost kit was running A/f in the mid 13's so do yourself a favor and put it on the dyno just to be safe
And my low boost kit ran in the 10s
granted that's with a Walbro 255
dod you have your injectors cleaned and fuel fiter changed? Just for safe measure I will be taking her in just to make sure. What range do I want my AFR to be at?
The only adjustment available is to adjust the base fuel pressure at idle. I think I ended up at around 56-57psi. Even 55 or 58 would have a dramatic difference in AFRs. It was very miticulous and every quarter turn of that screw made a difference.
If you ever get to this point (I hope not) just let me know.
OK thanks man.
Like stated above, every vehicle is different and will respond differently to upgrades. Its better to play it safe and get a dyno tune.
My car had 41k on it. If the injectors have issues at that mileage something is wrong. Possibly a worn fuel pump but the point is check your A/f before you drive it hard
Well I removed my supercharger to change out the bottom hose. It was in perfect condition. The hose is very high quality and made for high temps. I can't imagine how old this hose would have to be to fail. I'm installing the hard pipe and now I have piece of mind that everything is 100% ok. I'm just curious to how old or bow many miles you would have before that hose failed. From the pictures it looks like a plain hose but its actually very high quality and dual layered
It is a quality hose, plus mine had the wire spring inside also but I changed it anyway.
I'm learning these Nsx guys definitely over maintain their cars. Lol. I'm glad I pulled it so I now know every hose is in perfect condition
im getting ready to install the headers on my car but noticed I dont have cast manifold but some OEM looking tubular header type. Wasnt a 95 exhaust manifold cast? or do 95 have tubular manifold similiar to 97+?
Im wondering if it was changed out or if 95 is tubular?

so that means I might not notice much gains with my headers then.
Less than 7 years/20k miles on the supercharger and the hose was starting to split.
How old was your perfect-condition hose in miles/years?
this link was very helpful with headers install.

Just found out I already have 97+ headers. Proceeding with header install anyway and can now make money selling theres headers that were on there.
On Jackstands again:
OEM Rear header (bottom) VS Cantrell Rearheaders (top)....Front headers not shown:

From what I have been told it was 6 years old and has 12k in mileage. I was surprised that mine was perfect but not I know I wont have an issue for a while.
Mine doesn't look too bad but i don't know if it was ever replaced. It does have a slight surface cut in it though. It's not dried up or anything.

I finished off the headers today. Seems like it has more punch on the low end but since I had 97+ headers, there wasnt much difference. All I need now for my exhaust portion of my car is test pipes.
Today I finished up front headers
Here is the front beam that needs to come off to access that header.
Another structural suppport that needs to come off:
Here is where you remove AC compressor from bracket. Bracket can stay on:
Nice easy access to remove oem header once its all removed:
header removed:
Cantrell headers left, OEM 97+ headers on right:
Done and waiting for a wash tomorow:

Looks like I wont have to install DF intake scopp since I already have one in there.
DF intake and 97 headers will be listed for sale soon.

Looks like you had some exhaust leak out that old gasket. I hope you replaced it.
It wasn't torqued down right. Other than black part, gasket was in great shape.
