Hi everyone,
Dan initially contacted us in 2011 when we posted a used Angus turbo system for sale off of another NSX(coincidentally, the owner's name was also Dan, this Dan's findings were recorded here: http://www.nsxprime.com/forum/showt...-Dyno-Comparison-LoveFab-vs-quot-Brand-X-quot). We boxed up the kit, and shipped it to him, along with an emailed basemap. Dan installed the system, and was happy....for awhile.
Fast forward two years, and Dan was looking for more power. We sent emails back and forth regarding equipping his NSX with a LoveFab LF600 engine package, and using the Angus kit with some upgrades to handle the additional power. When pennies were crunched, it made sense to preserve the Angus kit as a whole, sell it, and start fresh with the LoveFab LF600 Turbo system, paired with the LoveFab LF600 engine package. When combined into one job, the savings are pretty substantial. So while visiting family out east, Tabitha and I made the trip up to Dan's house to pick up his NSX to begin the process.
Upon returning to the shop, we promptly unloaded Dan's NSX from the trailer, and strapped it to our Dyno. We were not expecting anywhere near the same numbers as above, and we were right.

With a baseline number established, we are digging in, and shooting for ~550WHP on 92 octane pump gas, on our Dyno. First up is turbo system removal(to be shipped to the new owner asap). Then the fun begins: engine removal, engine teardown, the machining process, engine cleaning and assembly, turbo system installation, engine break-in, and finally engine tuning, test driving. This process should take 4-6 weeks without any major unexpected hitches(there is always something!!), and we will document the entire thing real-time, as the vast majority of members on here have no idea what kind of intensive work goes into a build like this. We have four other engine builds in the process as well, so progress on Dan's build will stop, and start again, as those engines come out of machining, as they were first in line. Our goal is to get Dan's engine to machining asap, and complete these other jobs while we wait for Dan's parts to be finished.
To kick it off, here we go!
