Hey all. I am looking for a winter project. Are any of these still available for an NA2 Targa? Anybody thinking about dropping out? Please PM me. Thanks.

Would be good to know. Im interested in taking a kit if anyone has changed their minds or cannot afford it
I received mine in June of last yr and just got it installed. Was able to get 98.2 more hp to the wheel with Ct headers and exhaust according to dyno. I will pick it up tomorrow. Eagerly can to drive it
I think it will be a different animal.
Thank you, Dave
BTW, where have you been, Dave? Been on the honeymoon with your new bride?:tongue:

Did you have Shad do the install?
I wish... I was sick I wound up in the hospital. They gave me the wrong meds and made me worse. Glad it's all installed and running well!

That's an unusually high bump... what are you using for an airbox?
Yes. He seems to be expensive and I had to wait over a month to get CT headers and CT muffler. I left the car there since mid December and usually never like to leave the car in the shop for that long. I wished he could tell me that all of stuff are ready to install and I just drive the car down , rather left the car there to get the parts.- - - Updated - - -
I use DF stack intake. Power is 98.1 gain and the torque is 55.5 gain by Dynapack. Man, I was not feeling anything when I drove it home , I expected it would throw me back against the seat, but it did not. I am not sure I spent the money wisely. All of this cost me 12.5K
. I think I regret it:tranquillity::tranquillity::tranquillity::tranquillity:But the good thing is that you are feeling healthy and get back on your feet. They made a wrong diagnosis and gave wrong med?

Thanks man. Yeah its a long story. You aren't feeling an extra 100 HP?? I think your expectation might be too high. You car now would leave the NA car in the dust. The CTSC has a very flat power curve it doesn't "hit" like a turbo it actually just quietly goes fast. Those are great #'s.
Let me know if you continue to be unhappy and want to remove it. : )
I will cost another arm and a leg to take them off. But I will think about it .

I found out that the manifold cover was switched from red to black color when I got the parts back.

Everything is pretty much stock, except headers, DF stack intake, and muffler. Do you also think these are good #'s?
Dave mate sorry to hear about your illness and trust your getting back to normal life.
Unfortunately my SC has been delayed numerous times from July and it's only ready to be shipped now
I hope it was worth the wait. Kit's delay is costing me alot more due to Australian dollar depreciating since July by 15%.
Will let Prime now when I receive and install it.

Let's go for a ride 1st, then you may want to buy Alex's kit/$6500. SC is very safe but lack's "uuumf".
Your spending too cose to turbo money to be lacking in any area.
-Just my few 3cents short of a nickel.

Those are good numbers. My N/A numbers with Angus exhaust and unifilter were lower, about 246 hp, 201 lbft, and I added the headers and CT airbox and got a nice bump to 347.4 hp and 259.7 lbft, a gain of 101 hp and 58.5 lbft of torque. In terms of absolute numbers, I wasn't thrilled that I came in under 250 hp to start, but it's hard to argue with a 100+ hp gain.
I agree with Dave that it's hard to gauge the power difference mostly due to how linear it is. It definitely picks up faster at speed and, if you go WOT in 1st or 2nd you should feel a difference, but otherwise the car is just faster all around yet still maintains its docile character. I didn't notice how much faster the NSX is with the SC until i jumped back into the Cayman S, which previously felt a bit quicker around town, and it felt slower and a bit anemic.
Next up, Shad's high boost kit?
Thanks for the info. I have never driven any other cars so I can't compare with SC NSX . It sounds like you have dumped in lot of $$ to gain those HP.

I'm sorry but if you can't feel an extra 100 hp then maybe there is something wrong with you and not the car. :wink:
No. For that you need turbo and a built motor.
Dawn it! I just wasted $12.5K. No turbo nor a built motor. However, I would wait for new NSX with turbo.
Find another stock nsx. Drive it. Then you will be happy with what you have.
Here is one.

Exactly how I felt. I rode in a CTSC NA2 at a local meet (Thanks, James 02#154). Drove back in my stock NA1 right after and it felt really underpowered.
