In 2011 I bought a Comptech Autorotor supercharger for my 1998 NSX.
First, I wanted to do the install myself with the help of a friend, but I was too busy to do anything with it and it was more or less spread around my living room for a long time. For me, this project was a bit daunting and in the end I decided to have my mechanic Nic from Honda van der Poel in the old town of Hulst in the south of the Netherlands do the work.
Although Nic told me honestly he had never tackled a supercharger install before, I had every faith in him. He is probably one of the very few people I will trust with my NSX because, first, he has a lot of experience as a mechanic in general but also because he knows the NSX very well.
Also, he is that kind of guy for whom good is not just good enough, he always strives for perfection.
So, last December I brought my NSX in with all the stuff involved plus the Comptech instructions and some NSX-prime stuff added as well.
Whenever he had a question during the install, I would look the answer up or ask some friend (GoldNSX) or Chris from CT Engineering.
Everyone has been very helpful so far and finally, my NSX is getting close to being ready.
A couple of times I visited the shop. Yesterday, I heard the car running for the first time . First time it started, no lights came on and the engine seems to be running fine.
Some pictures:
All the CTSC Parts on the workbench in the shop.
I decided to have the ATI damper installed at the same time, as well have the SOS Oil Pan baffle installed in my oil pan.
The engine with the OEM intake removed. That very same intake manifold is now with another NSX friend who happens to be an expert in 3D CNC machining and who plans to make a reverse-engineering drawing for his own NSX in his shop
First install of the CTSC on the car. My mechanic wasn't very happy with the install and removed the complete set after this picture was taken to do it again.
The CTSC finally on the car as of yesterday. The engine starts and runs perfectly I also had a fuel pressure meter installed.
The interior is still a bit of a mess right now because we are not completely done there.
I have ordered a Zeitronix ZT2 unit to be able to monitor at least the AFR from within the car, just to be sure.
All in all, I am very excited right now. Hope to have the car ready in about two weeks and can hardly wait to see how it will feel when driving
