SoS TT and 3.5L Stroker Build - Long Term Update

[Hugh]

It's been about and 3 years and 40,000 miles since Charlotte underwent her transformation to a 3.5L TT Science of Speed beast. I'll keep this brief since there really isn't anything to report. The engine has been bulletproof, no issues whatsoever. Since my car was the first one sold to the public after development was completed, Chris found that the fuel pump and associated wires needed to upgraded. He provided this to me for free.

I did go through 2 SoS twin carbon clutches, both failing at exactly 7,000 miles. It was determined that they both had a minor factory defect. I'm currently running a Carbonetic Triple Carbon that has close to 20k miles on it.

The car has retained the characteristics that make it a superb daily driver while possessing the ability to embarrass anything badged with a farm animal.

Your car must feel like a monster under boost. Love the farm animal comment. Any vids?

Can you elaborate on the SOS carbon carbon issues? I currently have 2k miles on mines. Are there certain years that had this issue?

Farm animal badge.... LOL

i rode in a similiar setup here in houston and was impressed with how transparent the system was.

Hey Hugh, your NSX motor puts out the same HP and Torque numbers that mine does ;( at 4000rpm's!)

Quick update to the thread.
It's been 11 years and a total of 75,000 miles on the engine. Nothing new to report. There are however quite a few more farm animal badged that have been embarrassed over the years!

This is the most boring update thread ever. And that's a good thing! haha

That cat said “next time don’t turn from the wrong lane”. Good eye, I wouldn’t have seen it

The Beast has better cat-like reflexes than the black cat.

It was 3AM, I had a green light, no oncoming traffic so I found the apex and took the turn at a slightly higher than normal speed.

Hugh, your car must be a wild ride. I've been in one very well appointed NSX that was tuned to ~500 hp and it was the first time I grabbed for the seat belt. It was Gary W's NSX and I was in the passenger seat.
