... were on the fence right now trying to decide whether or not were gonna keep making nsx parts.
Ross,
What do you mean by your statement above? Not making NSX parts? I am sure the rest of Primers would want to be filled in? Or are you just directing your statement towards the K20 swap? Let us know.
If you read threw some of his previous post, it seems there's not enough parts flying off the shelves even at the price that he sells them. He's offering us really great products at a really great price and not really making to much, if any money off of them. They’re also providing to a lot of promotional products for a lot of people such as hats and t-shirts, even some free parts for the show us your STMPO and win prizes thread. They also spent a lot of money for NSXPO 2009 providing hats, shirts, and gift certificates without any return. This is what I've seen from reading the threads and what not. I'm sure there's other reasons as well, but this is all I can remember at the moment.
You nailed it Moses...
I cost me 9,000.00 to send 200 boxes and 6000.00 in gift certs to NSXPO. I didn't loose the other 6k in gift certs... not a single person called, emailed, or even thanked us. The rep recieved the 5' x 5' x 7' crate was so estatic at such a kind jester... he has never even bought a part from us.
Ross, We are very thankful for your support of NSXPO 2009 and did indeed send you the attached email followed up by a Phone call.
The attached email was sent to you on behalf of the NSXPO 09 Planning committee.

Hello Ross,
On Behalf of the NSXPO '09 planning committee and the NSX Club of America and Canada, we would like to thank Stmpo Race Products for your generous donation to NSXPO '09.
This year's NSXPO is going be a grand event, with the entire weekend packed with activities for NSX enthusiast from both US and Canada.
I'm attaching a copy of the NSXPO '09 Flyer that we have produced for the Event.
Ross: do you guys plan on using air-cooled or liquid-cooled intercooler?
reading this post makes me want to buy another nsx with a blown or no motor! especially theres a k20 motor collecting dust in the garage.
keep up the good work!
Hope this in done by NSX craze, will love to see it in person.
ata innercooler...
Is your k20 a k20a2 / k20a3 / or k20z1?
Regards
came out a 2007 civic si. I believe its k20z3 with 6 speed.
I love the idea of having a 500whp 4 cylinder engine
can't wait to see the exhaust manifold and cooler set up.
I had ideas of building the k20z3 and put it into a civic or integra but that's old news.
maybe this car is a good canidate?

Ross, long time no talk...So glad to see you finally unveil this project and that it's coming along so nicely. Best of luck on it and thanks for taking us along on the ride of creating this!:biggrin:

Wow...this is really amazing and I haven't been around the site in a while so I missed out on much of the beginnings. Not sure where you guys are located but like every other shop I'm sure it's the West coast which sucks (for me) because I'd love to take a look at the project......every day. I would even volunteer an extra set of hands if you needed it.
I am interested in what type of turbo that is in there. Honestly I'm not completely up on my "turbo models" as I am a SC guy. However, I know some are much quicker spooling than others. I'm curious because one of the things I love about my setup is the linear feeling on the track that my SC gives me because of its near perfectly flat power curve. The turbo setups are great for the drag strip but I see way too many making 700whp starting at like 6500RPM and 150whp down low. That type of crazy power spike always conjured up visions of "guardrail implantation" in my head....... along with fond memories of the old Porsche 930s
I'm going to take this offline and PM you going forward however real quick on my CRX setup..... please feel free to look at my specs and build album in my signature. I spent a lot of time documenting that build. I'm the original owner of my Rex and that car means the world to me.
I would love to hear about the rotex blower because my biggest issue is the fact that my M62 has peaked in efficiency, it simply can't produce enough CFM to keep up with my almost 2.1 liter engine. Above 7800 rpm my torque starts to drop off and my whp flattens. I am at 292 whp and Jeff Evans figures my setup is good for about 315 whp if I could get more air into the engine. I'm also stuck because I have reached RPM limit of my M62, I can't simply spin it faster to get more air, she's maxed out. Any higher and I am risking heating the blower too much and causing rotor swell and failure. I did a ton of math before building this engine and my results indicating loss of CFM and blower inefficiencies were spot on. Unfortunately I had nothing else to work with.
The Eaton TVS supercharges are out now which are truly insane however nobody is selling a counter-rotating blower anymore since Honda finally joined the rest of the world and started spinning their engine the correct way I would assume the rotex blower you have is also non-counter rotating as well. I have a custom manifold with Lavinova cores running through them cooling the intake charge so any blower I get would have to have the same mounting outlet port as my M62 or else I would need to do even more fabrication work. This plus the fact that my engine setup with a blower barely fits in an EF chassis. I am completely out of room as you can see in my build album (especially since I run AC as well )
edit.... just googled the rotex blower. Awesome design however it looks like it would be a complete re-design of my system. From blower mounting, driving it, aftercooler, intake, even my cam choices and exhaust header.
-talk to you soon!!
