AP-X NSX turbo system (angus turbo kit)

Finally pulled the trigger also. Took advantage of the sale. Thanks for answering all my newbie questions.
I messeged wil already just wondering if anyone has vids or diagrams of their install. I was about to install the turbo when I noticed I could put s baffle in the oil pan to help with oil issues so I had to tear everything apart again. Lol. Sucka move I know. This week tapping the oil pan and baffle then I'll be back at it. I need a little guidance any assistance will be appreciated
Have any of you thought about going with an oil-less turbo? That way you don't have to worry about scavenge pump, tapping the pump, etc.
Id like to know if anyone has experience with them as well
I haven't seen one on an NSX but it certainly is an option if someone wants an AP-X kit with one.
Also be sure that your donut gaskets are correct and installed in there. Why is there a mis-matched bolt there as well?
I was just placing them to see if it matched up. I'm ordering bolts with springs now and new oil pan. Haha.
Melts just say I'm a pro at replacing headers now. Smh
The bolts that you need are supplied with the kit. You cannot use spring bolts in that location, that is why the Y-pipe has flex pipes in it.
Are those the 2 silver 1 1/2 inch bolts? There wasn't 4 so I didn't know if they were for the exhaust.

I tested an in house made system using a Comp Oiless Turbo for a year and a half on my NSX. It was a great turbo with zero issues. The only downside, which Comp has apparently fixed with a new design is the exhaust wheel was of an old P-Trim design with sub par responsiveness. To be fair the car had a 6262 with a 0.83AR housing, which is not the most responsive of turbo even in dual ball bearing format. [MENTION=16509]angus[/MENTION] - I would certainly entertain these turbo's. Very simple install given you don't have to worry about orientation or placement at all, they are however quite expensive.
Congrats! Would you mind letting us know what setup you went with and what you dyno at once its done? It looks great!
Will do. Wil told me to start it up and lightly drive it before tuning. But soon as I do I will get on it.

Should I use stock oil? Or mobil1 5w30
any advice is appreciated.
After you drive it and the system goes through several heat cycles, go back and tighten any of the charge pipe connections and also at about 1000 miles.
I've had my APX turbo going on 5 years! Only issue was a bad maf sensor in the FIC which AEM diagnosed and replaced for free. The rest has been some
real glorious fun and head turning looks each and every time I go for a drive. Oh and that turbo whine..............
For anybody running the kit, make sure your tuner knows wft he is doing! At full boost between 7-8psi, your afr should absolutely be below 12 and above 11. Mines at 11.6.

Thanks for posting the kind words and good advice Brian!
Great to see you're still around and your car is working well!
Do the spring bolts leak boost? I've always wondered how they can possibly hold 1.5x back pressure to boost which is completely possible with a turbo car.
