I dont work for clubna-t.com but folks at Clublexus, Supraforum and My.is are actually pretty happy with there xspower turbo kits for 1jz and 2jz recently. They just expect a mid HP increase and not to use it to make a 500+ horsepower monster. Looks as tho a couple of the pictures are dating back 4years ago. They are still in business the product could have improved.
Some of the folk in this section are even making there own turbo kits. It really isn't rocket science. I have piece together a turbo kit with another car before myself and I was boosting for a couple years before I sold the car. You have to realize that above a 100hp gain you will need internal upgrade.
I wouldn't expect this kit to do 700hp but if it can add 100-150 hp at a reasonable cost and quality. I think a lot of us will buy it. Just look at those Top-Speed headers people are buying them.
I just think we should see some finish products first before we bash. There is no group buy and no one is asking for deposits and someone is going to get a kit for free.
you have the 1jz kids confused from the 2jz kids.
most of the cheap xscrap kits are sold to the 1jz kids since they dont care much about reliability or their car. most of the 1jz are used and abused and frankly look like crap. the owners are 20 and under.
the 1jz and 2jz are totally different crowds. you might get some stragglers on with a 2jz buying a xscrap kit who is on a budget but any of the serious owners with a 2jz would laugh at the thought of 1500 turbo "kit".
if you have 3000$ 1jz.... vs a $30000 2jz, the demographic is completely different.
also with the NSX vs the 2jz. the 2jz crowd is definitely more likely to push the envelope after all 1000hp isn't nothing for a Supra. I'll be making 600-700 when im done with my supra and im almost embarrassed to tell people im making 700 since with a 2jz, if you isn't pushing 4 digits, you isn't trying hard enough.
anyways. the NSX crowd is mature and we like reliability. We didn't buy a 80K Honda because of lack of choice, but rather a mature taste in precision engineering.
you can always find the exception to the rule; someone will donate their nsx as a test car. but the majority will not. Even if ssautocrap decides to make a nsx turbo, I dont think it will sell due to the AWESOME quality of their products as documented over the last 6+ years.
I have a suggestion. Why dont you donate your nsx to ssautocrap? get them to pay 800$ to trailer your car to their location. they can street tune your nsx, maybe blow your motor and you can get a 1500 pos turbo kit that will brake apart and god knows what.
the risk on this deal is about 10000000000000 and the reward is .00000001
NOTHING in life is FREE.
if the turbo grenades.... you do realize you dont JUST lose the turbo.... you can also lose your motor as the wonderful pieces of the turbo gets sucked into your motor:smile:
im surpised you even posted this tread here since it would do more damage then good for any owner that signs up.
the nsx community is much better off with out a ssautocrap turbo kit.
why are they trying to make aturbo kit anyways? they cant get their hands on a lovefab to copy
I just think we should see some finish products first before we bash. There is no group buy and no one is asking for deposits and someone is going to get a kit for free.
no, im going to bash them right now. i have SEEN the quality of their products over the last 6 years. its the same ssautocrpa garabge.
did you happen to miss all the pictures i posted and the hundreds of search results on google?
send them your car, we would love to hear back from you afte 30 miles on their wonderful turbo and cracking manifolds.
Happy motoring
Rob:smile:
