No not mine..... Some day... some day... but to be honest, I like the way we BUILD our cars to make them fast. any guy with $$ can get one of those , but there is not the same pride in it you know... I have more fun beating the shit out of my 240, then working on it, then pounding on it some more... I would rather have a car that I built up. Its just more fun that way IMO

If it was yours I was going to be your new best friend! lol

Yea I like to do my own work, I do about 95% of everything that's done to my car. You get a better sense of accomplishment and some pride in your work. Well at least i do, I don't know about other people.

so what are the details on your NSX? HP, Boost?

6lbs, 350whp , no tune ( other than black box that came with it). I would love to swap out the gears and I need to swap out exhaust and my intake to pick up a few hp. I have been working on the 240 so much, the nsx has been sitting for a while other than a few days here and there to work.

240, nice.

I think I was at about 215 or something.

Why not go EMS and maybe injectors. You'll probably get close to 400hp with the EMS & injectors alone. Or maybe reflash the stock ECU if it's doable.

I would love to go high boost with her.
injectors
pulley
aem
fuel pump

it is about 4k to get another 50 hp or so, not sure I want to do it... The aem make the power a ton more useable, but I would just feel like an ass-hat if I blow her up. they are not as easy to rebuild as the f20 is, and not as many available used blocks etc if she blows

I think I'll just keep her reliable and set up for daily for now... I want to build a turbo S2000 asap if I can get it together. Nick at BDL wants to build one with me,but we keep screwing around and not pulling it together....

Would probably be safer with the EMS/injectors with more ponies.
