Awesome track video Billy
Yes the car has stock injectors and ECU/tune. We could make even more power if we hooked up the F-Con ECU that I have (which is brand new in box and is for sale) to optimize timing & fuel for its current state. However, the car is going to be turboed and since i'm not with the car, unfortunately we will not be optimizing this setup.^
Wow great read. Not sure how I missed this but glad to have clicked on the link.
So all of this is with the stock injectors and no special tuning? Curious what could've have been done with the Prospeed mod.
Still very cool to see the development and makes me want to get a set of V3s!
That is the major issue with any positive displacement/screw-type supercharger -keeping the IAT's under control. I've had twin screw Mustangs heat soak and make less power than stock. Someone would need to log their IATs on track, then dyno the car at the same IATs to see what its true power is while on track.Most interesting article!
I would be curious to compare the HP curves against a CTSC NSX specially when the engine gets hot...
I remember having difficulties in passing a std 3.2 L NSX with my CTSC at the Le Mans Bugatti track here in France.
No longer an issue since going turbo of course:smile:
I don't want to let the cat out of the bag for the future installments of Project NSX, but yes, I'm going to sell my F-Con for a Motec since I have a Motec Dash and there are some pretty trick stuff in the future that I'm going to do and the integration with the dash is huge for being able to read everything. If it wasn't for that, I would be using the F-con which is awesome and with Jon tuning it, it truly is better than OEM driveability and reliability. I can't say that for most the tuners out there (dealing with some Mustang tuner headaches at the moment) and getting a good ECU and a tuner is priceless. I highly recommend Jon and the F-Con.Billy, how come you're selling the fcon? Going motec instead?
Also, I've ran 3 track events with 100% water injection on my CTSC. Two of those events was in blazing dry California heat. My temps never got above the mid 50s Celsius and usually around the high 40s. Jon was helping me tune for one of those days. He'll vouch for its effectiveness. You loose some power (maybe 15hp?) But not nearly as much as he at soaking when IATs are 200F+.
I've been saying this in all my threads... Water injection for the CTSC is where its at. ALL other cooling solutions don't work or heatsoak eventually.
I almost pulled the trigger on the ProEFI unit. Please post your feedback when done. Decided to go F-con iS but considering going vpro eventually. I went with my tuners's pref at this point.
I think the debate between turbo, centrifugal, PS type forced induction can go on for days but us CA folks are extremely limited due to the lack of CARB certified kits out there so our hands are tied.

Btw, Billy and I share the same tuner. I can't say enough kind things about Jon and I consider him a friend. Smart, talented, and humble individual. I asked about motec because last he told me he only tunes on motec and HKS.
Inlet?Great article Billy I so wish you were staying N/A if only so i could follow what has been done by experts, what happened to Ken @FXMD inlet design is that still in the works for the N/A guys?
Sorry for not explaining myself better, Ken posted this a while back and i was hoping something might come of it and that it might end up as part of your Moto iq build before you went Turbo View attachment 112000Inlet?
I think that project was ax'ed, but I personally want them to produce a manifold that is less restrictive, allow for a bolt on larger throttle body, and stays within the factory size (but smaller) and utilize the OEM top mounted honda cover and plate. There is power to be gained in the intake manifold.
Technically there is no such thing as a "Brembo Indy" caliper. That nomenclature was coined in the NSX community for a standard 2-pc Brembo motorsport caliper which is now probably 25+ year old technology and does not have dust seals.Billy. Would you rather look at these or brembo Indy?
The 01 pad is tried and true. One of my all time favorite racing compounds.Nice to see you continue to update the old nsx! I still use the PFC-1 pads on my brembos...
Thanks! More to come!It's really fun to see this project still moving along! Great work Billy.
