I believe you can get those symptoms with the older kit if the vacuum check valve and flow restrictor (bottom of the manifold) are connected improperly. Problem is higher voltage at the MAP sensor than acceptable. There should be other threads discussing the correct voltage at the MAP sensor...

A very slight pause is normal. The hypothesis I heard was that it was associated with the MAP sensor and the mechanical airflow restrictions included with the kit. The new kits come with an electronic voltage clamp, which must be similar to the module that is sold through Mark Basch and Dali...

As stated by TheSwishh, until the temperature is up to operational temperatures it will not rev to redline. The computer limits the rpm. Make sure the car is fully warmed up and then check it out. I am sure that the “problem” will be gone.

Jason, The dyno plot is pretty amazing. It is such a big jump from the ~235 hp or so with the stock setup. How do you compare your car now with your NOS that you had been running? I thought you said it was stronger now, but could you describe the difference? When I put the Comptech with high...

I have a 3.0 with the CTSC and high boost kit. I have Comptech headers, exhaust, and stock air box. I had my car dyno’ed on a Mustang dyno and measured 330 hp at the wheels. I would expect that since you started out with 20 extra hp that you should still have an extra 20 hp (350 hp). The dyno...

I purchased a couple of Realtime shirts at the Washington DC ALM race. The new shirts show the RSX with the NSX instead of the Integra. The shirt cost was $20 each and we purchased them directly from the team. They knew we were with the NSXSC and did not offer a discount, nor was one expected...

Curry’s Auto Service in Ashburn, VA and is sponsoring an NSX/S-2000 dyno day Saturday June 15. Ashburn/Sterling is just North of Dulles Airport in Northern Virginia. The cost is $50.00 for 3 runs (or 2 runs with a 1/4 mile "sprint"). Curry's has a new state-of -the-art Mustang dynamometer...

The installations are planned to be in Northern Virginia (Washington DC area). Mark Basch will fly out and perform installations of his supercharger and other work requested by the participants, such as clutch, headers, etc. This is open to all, including those that have placed orders directly...

There are places to save money but I would think that this is not one of them. The oil filer has a pressure relief (bypass) valve and you would not want to risk anything by using an oil filter that was not designed to meet the OEM specifications. I doubt anything bad would happen, but I would...

I felt that I could not lower my car the 1.5 to 2 inches you get with the Eibach and H&R springs respectively. I opted for the Bilstein shocks with OEM springs (lower spring perch), which lowers the car by 2 cm (0.8 inch). It looses the SUV look without being too prone to drag the front spoiler...

My interior driver side door handle broke this past fall. I purchased a replacement from Tim at Ray Laks Acura. Tim gives 25% off and free shipping. I think that the phone number is 1-888-RayLaks. It still ended up at $276 for a door handle, but it was necessary. So you are not alone!

This past fall I installed Bilstein shocks with OEM springs. I have a 1991, which had about 170 lb/in front springs and 220 lb/in rears. I was looking for slightly stiffer springs. I was looking at Dali Racing site, which shows the 97 NSX having 196 lb/in fronts and 224 lb/in rears. The front...

This past winter, Mark Basch came to Virginia and installed his Comptech SC on my car. He installed short gears and a clutch at the same time. He recommended that I stay with the stock R&P. I feel happy that I have done so. I do like the closer gear ratios (2nd, 3rd, and 4th). It just feels...

Was the dyno a Mustang or a Dynojet? The Mustang dyno seem to read lower than the Dynojet. However, the Mustang may also be a more accurate measurement of power. For a stock 3.0L engine with 270 bhp at the flywheel, and allowing for 15% mechanical loss through the drive gear (transmission...

I agree with all the comments. I had a supercharger installed this past winter. I would not have gone that direction if I thought it would measurably decreased the engine life or durability. Having made the modification, I have to say that the car feels much faster than before, and I do not have...
