So are you staying with the beta system or "upgrading" to the new system with the larger injectors?

Ha! And to think everyone blasted me about my previous comments about needing larger injectors. In the end, that is what they used. Its amazing how people to come to a quick conclusion about something so new and untested only to be wrong.

It is a Mugen wing, but I believe it has been discontinued.

I think that the market for forced induction systems has gotten big enough now that an individual forum section would be nice to have. Anyone else thinking the same?

Have you checked the direct ignition packs? If you have any of the igniton packs reversed from the front bank to the rear bank, it could result in mis-firing.

He might of been referring to UPRD, Under Pressure Research & Develpement, who I think switched ownership or went belly up. They used to be the offical importers for Advan at the time last year.

Just wanted to make sure if the bore and stroke on the 5 Speed 3.0 engine and the Automatic 3.0 are the same. Anyone?

He got it used. And its not from Mr. Ogose's car. I believe there are at 3-5 people in the U.S. with type-r suspension. Most buy it used in Japan. To buy a new type-r suspension even if you have a type-r owner's certificate, is very expensive. [This message has been edited by 19inchNSX...

Not exactly, true. Alex Vizcarra has the Type-R suspension on his car. [This message has been edited by 19inchNSX (edited 16 December 2001).]
