Let me start by saying These are facts, not fiction. SexyRed(Danny) had NSX Modified install their single turbo on his car. All seemed fine and dandy with the turbo until Danny took his car to a local dyno shop to fine tune the setup and make sure the car was getting proper fueling. On the dyno, the A/F ratio was fine until the car hit Vtec. And then, it ran so lean the dyno operator immediately shut down the machine and said, no more of that, you're going to blow your motor. Figure out why it runs so lean, correct it and hopefully it may be fine. Unless you already damaged the motor. If memory serves me correctly(just turned 40), it was in the 17to1 range. Danny drove the car very carefully after that, not getting in to Vtec. All the while trying to figure out the solution. Larry tried some things and had no cure. So he offered to swap it for a used Comptech that he had in his shop. Sounds good so far, right? WRONG! It was setup to have the CT swapped on a Sat., however on the Thursday before that Sat. One of the pistons cracked from running lean for so long and viola!, time for a rebuild. You know what they say, your car always runs the best before it blows up. It went down to NSXM to have the motor rebuilt. Weeks passed, even months. The machine shop still has the parts was always the reply when Danny inquired about his cars progress. Then, the shop closed. With 4 NSX's inside! Contacting the landlord of the shop(Read:NOT LARRY), allowing the owners of the NSX's to remove their cars. Danny took his car with NO MOTOR OR TRANS and I was told that the other NSX's were also less motor/trans. On the shop floor was 1 motor apart(possibly Dannys) and 1 trans.(Also possibly Dannys). 1 motor, 1 trans. and 4 NSX's? Something is wrong with that picture. OH yeah, the Single Turbo was also GONE So now what? Danny spent 6-7grand on the Turbo setup and now has an NSX with no motor or trans. at his house. What to do? Why not call the insurance co. and tell them what happened. It is in limbo right now on what claim he may have and what might get done to the car. What about the other owners? I can't believe no one has come forward with such important info. I could not sit back knowing this, so excuse me if I am off track.
