As most of you know my car my car received the LoveFab treatment summer of 2008. Two weeks after picking it up, I went on the AKA Rally (Gumball Style Rally) across country and my car did great. I ran against a M5, Ferrari 360 CS and Porsche 996 GT3 and smashed them all (Even with a defective turbo from Precision which was warranted by Cody and replaced free of charge at 3am while on the rally)
Anyway although my car was faster with the turbo, I did not think it was fast as it should be. At that time I was dyno’ing 311hp and 275 tq at 4 lbs, it was hard for me to maintain higher boost. This was up from the baseline 269hp and 197tq with E/H/I. I was only running with the wastegate spring so after I returned from the rally, I purchased an AEM Tru-Boost Controller and Alcohol Methanol injection to main boost and meth to keep the intake temps down. I installed those parts and my numbers jumped up to 338hp and 299tq occasionally spiking to 365hp. At this time I also want to add I have been running on a stock clutch so I do not know how much that plays into the numbers.
Well over the years I stayed in constant contact with Cody asking him what could be done to safely increase my power. He explained he had newer FI Headers that might give me the extra power I was looking for. We arranged to have Cody come down to Atlanta, pick up my NSX and take it back to Michigan. He was going to replace the clutch with Exedy Twin Disc Carbon Clutch, replace the headers with FI headers, Adjust my secondaries, and tune my NSX with the AEM FIC. Well after the first pull on his Mustang Dyno, my car dyno’ed at 444hp and 325tq at 7lbs. The final numbers were 459hp and 333tq at 8lbs!
Cody delivered the car a week later but I was out of town so it was another week before I could drive it again. Once I did sit into my seat, I could instantly feel the power increase. So much so, I only got into it about 60% (5 lbs of boost)
Tonight I went to my local dyno (Dyno Jet) to compare the dyno results as well as testing the boost controller. I did 3 pulls. The first pull on wastegate only did 425hp without meth and I let up early. The second pull I set it to 7lbs and I did 448hp 335tq with meth. My final numbers were 456hp and 338tq at 8 lbs w/meth.
Cody programmed my car with a couple of failsafe measures in case the meth failed or too much boost kicked in. I also have an alarm in place in case the AEM Tru boost detects more than 10lbs of boost.
Overall I am very happy with my car and now I have the power I expected.
BTW this is LoveFab Stage 1 kit with a few modifications.
I am a VERY HAPPY CUSTOMER!!!
Thanks CODY! :biggrin:
