Ok, as you know, the NSX w/290 HP can keep up w/ a 405 HP Z06 vette, and remember there's a 115 HP difference, but the NSX can still keep up

if you add twin turbos, and increase HP say.... 100 HP, give it the same stats as the Z06 (or close to), what'd you think will happen?

if you add twin turbos to the NSX, it'll be able to compete with an equal priced opponent, like some turbo porsche :twisted:

Wake up from your dream buddy, a NSX can't keep up with a ZO6. :roll:
And add twin turbos so the engine blows up....

you can turbo any Honda/Acura engine and not worry about it blowing up unless you boost it 20psi right away. It's not like the cruddy Ford and GM engines. Twin turbo an NSX with maybe 10 psi and it might be able to keep up in striaght line performance with the Z06. Around the track, it would simple make the Z06 look even smaller in the rear-veiw mirror. Until they make a single turbo V-6 or V-8 stock, it doesn't ahve any hope in linear racing though :oops:

Twin turbos on a NSX would be sweet not sure how much the stock motor could take but with a built motor im sure it would be a wicked machine :twisted:

10 psi would grenade that engine in no time, its compression is to high....
And I have seen SCCA racing with NSX's, ZO6's and regular Vettes....
The poor Acura's get hammered event after event....

A twin turbo NSX... :wink:
Well that sounds nasty!!! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
However, you would ruin the true philosophy of Honda... (NA high-revving engines) :roll:

You can also add twin turbos on a Hyundai Accent and it will keep up with a Cobra. Whats your point?

Me?

it's true that honda relies a lot on high revs; which are mainly good for track; for straight line performance (amateurs like bluecam only want to race drag....), it would be nicer to have twin turbos, then you'd be able to use the NSX to its full capability.

in real racing; honda doesn't need turbos; just a high-revving engine; but for street cars, that's not very practical. this means the NSX is a really nice track racer

and also; 10 lbs boost is very realistic; 20 would need something special.....

NSX is a really practical high performance sports car (unlike american cars, they don't break down every 100 miles)

maybe it's me, but i think honda should redesign it's aging NSX; one that would be just like what the 1st NSX was when it first came out :twisted:

Are you kidding me? First off drag racing is FAR from "amateur" just because you presious NSX is a crappy performer don't put down drag racing. And by the way, I drag race and autoX race....so unless you know your facts, you should keep your knowledgeless mouth closed. And as far as American cars "breaking down every 100 miles" again you have no clue, my American car has over 100 1/4 mile passes and countless autoX runs with no real problems. While my TWO MONTH old Infiniti needed a transmission replaced.

another thing, if the NSX engine would blow up b/c of 10 lbs boost; any american car would blow up becuz it uses gas.....

another thing, if the NSX engine would blow up b/c of 10 lbs boost; any american car would blow up becuz it uses gas.....

Yeah that makes sense.........?????????

All you NSX lover have to realize that cars days are OVER. It was a great car in 1991....
Comparing it to a ZO6 is a joke, a ZO6 beats it on the 1/4 mile and track handily.

And go ahead throw turbos on that high reving, high compression Honda engine and watch it blow its pistions through the heads lol.

I'll take a ZO6 anyday over a over-priced, over-rated, slow NSX....
If it was 1991....then I'd take one....this is 2003 boys. :roll:

I know for sure that NSX-R can smoke out a Lamborghini Murcielago in track! ! ! So, it will be no problem doing the same thing with the Z06! ! !

Wow.. you are awefully misinformed if you thing the NSX is slow.. just try riding in one for starters buddy.. BTW.. japanese engines have no problems with TT's.. the 300zx had em.. the Supra had them.. and many other cars.. its not really a big deal. American cars are mainly built for straight line performance. Yes the 1960's cars were cool and had a lot of power, but the most advanced thing in the car was the radio. Just like todays cars.. mainly built for straight line performace. Dont give me crap about the S7 handling well.. I know about that. Its also hundred of thousands of dollars.. the NSX is 80k. You think the pistons will blow in the NSX? What would happen if you put them in a Z06? :twisted:

I know for sure that NSX-R can smoke out a Lamborghini Murcielago in track! ! ! So, it will be no problem doing the same thing with the Z06! ! !



Okay, your telling me a NSX can beat a Murcielago on a track???? No it can't I have seen tests and the NSX can't hang with it.

The NSX is slow in a straight line for $90,000 freaking dollars!!!!
And like I have said I have seen ZO6's and NSX's on tracks, like SCCA
courses and the NSX gets beat everytime, easily....because it lacks horsepower
big time....

And as far as putting twin turbos on a ZO6, ever hear of a Ligenfelter Corvette????
650 bhp...and realiable....:roll:

LOL a corvette? reliable? OMFG where have u been for the last 50 years??

if an NSX can't handle twin turbos; then an american car wouldn't be able to handle it's own internal combustion... :roll:

some of u ppl are so damn stubborn about straight line performance.....

OMG do you have ANY clue? A LS1 in a Corvette is a VERY reliable engine....
Get you facts straight before making a false comment like that.

Damn ricers. :roll:

haha, a reliable corvette........

since when were "american cars" reliable in GENERAL anyways?

about "american" cars.....

these "american" cars are much more mexican or brasilian than most "imports" that are made by people employed in the US

american cars are unreliable in GENERAL too

saying american cars are reliable makes you look like more of an idiot

also, about the "blowing up" NSX, i forgot to mention that this should be done by honda (they can easily strengthen the chasis), there are plenty of other aftermarket parts selling twin turbos for an NSX for relatively cheap..... but they wouldn't raise the power as much as a stock twin turbo...

Saying they aren't makes you look stupid....American cars have gotten MUCH, MUCH better over the past few years. Check JD Power, actaully Jap cars have gotten WORSE in surveys.......but you just babble on and state false truths becasue you don't know any better....and I am not even American...........

all of those tests are very short term.......

some of u ppl are only concerned about straight-line performance; besides, the NSX was made to be like a formula 1 racer

i don't believe formula 1 is drag race.........

there are other japanese cars that are more fit for the purely straight-line american cars

Calling this guy a idiot is a understatement.
igaboj's comments are not even worth reading....

why are we all brawling about which car is better anyways :?: :?: :?:
We're all human...we have diff tastes...its not like we're robots...
We can argue about which is better in another thread...this thread is only about tt'ing an nsx...

Turbocharging an NSX will take something like 20-30 thousand dollars. The Corvette takes around a hundred thousand to be able to take the twin turbos.

Anyway! There are hard, cold facts that's cannot be denied, no matter what you or I would like to think. Such as the NSX having possible the best handling characteristics of any car below the one hundred thousand dollar mark as far as high performance cars go(lotus and MR2 excluded). Also, that the Z06 is an insanely good deal for almost any sort of speed and racing short of rallying! I think the $150,000 Lingefelter Vette would definitly be a worth advisary to an NSX of the same cost. Think of what 60 thousand could do the NSX? All they'd really have to worry about is TT for the engine and modifying it to some insane output. Not nearly as much work as it would take on the Vette. Okay, I'm not gonna post anymore on this thread, it's already been too nasty and I'll let people who know more than me have their fun. :mrgreen:

Your prices are wrong, the Lig Vette thats $150K has a C5-R racing block.
They will do a 550 bhp tt set-up on a reg Vette for $25K with all he goodies.

sorry, I was reffering to the highest performing Lingenfelter.

whoa, we went pretty far out in this thread..... :lol:

real far :roll:

i have seen tests and the NSX-R can definitely hang with the Lambo Mur--lago....the NSX-R was in front of the LAmbo like 90% of the race....(like 4.5 out of 5 laps the NSX led the Lambo)
.it was obviously the LEAST powered, going up against super exotics.....what I think:
it is over-priced....it needs more power,keep it a V6 preferably.....
very nice track car.....13 sec.-fast, but not impressive compared to the more powerful ZO6......THESE TWO CARS SHOULD NOT BE COMPARED DUE TO LARGE POWER DIFFERENCE....BUT-for the record, the NSX can hold its own CONSIDERING!!! its mere 290 hp! yes, the ZO6 is sweet too.
i doubt Honda cared too much about straight line performance, they focused alot on dropping the weight to increase performance.....rather than upping the power....as mentioned, turboing a NSX would be going against what the NSX was made for....to not be turbo the type R is nice as hell, but Honda is most likely stepping up to the competition......new one might be coming in 2006, but an NSX-like concept is already showing up in the mags and car shows......300hp for sure, maybe more!

Why would Honda put two turbos in their engines... when they can put up the HP by using the V-TECH technolagy, they did it with the S2000 ! normaly a 4 banger engine
needs a turbo to boost its HP, but Honda did with out it. Just imagin they used a V8
on an NSX!!! BOY u better watch out.

p.s. just a reminder.... the NSX is in a class by it self ! dont u think ?

hmm... i wonder why so many ppl buy camry's.....

Familes who don't give a crap buy them..........

So wait... people that buy Chevy Malibu's are car enthusiasts? Its exactly the same as a Camry only made by Chevy. But I dont see people adding a body kit or a turbo to a Malibu. You were wrong on that part. They are popular because they are a comfortable family sedan made by a reliable company with an engine that will last up to 200,000 miles. Realisticaly, a Malibu would never reach 200k without a major tune-up.

Where do you get that from???? I read his post 5 times and nowhere in it does he mention a Malibu. I think he was refering to the fact that people who buy the big selling cars are not car enthusists....and I had a company car that was a Malibu, it had over 170,000 miles on it....NOTHING broke and I beat that crap out of that car. But the Accord I had before it broke a timing belt at 44,000 and tore the whole engine up. Company cars rule lol.

lol i just saw a merc company car up in san jose :D :D :D ...
omfg...a c320 :D :D :D ...a 30k company car :D :D :D
i dunno about the company...but i wouldnt let my employees drive around in free 30k cars :D

Wow, okay, now we REALLY are off topic!!! The Corvette talk was okay because it was comparing it with the NSX, but what is this crap all of the sudden about company cars?!?!? Seriously, you people have issues.

Oh shut up....this topic sucked from the time it was made.
TT NSX....why even bother. :roll:

ok, can someone just try to say why it would or wouldn't be a good idea (besides the engines gonna blow; honda can strengthen the chasis)

have a very merry christmas too!

oh and, can the new guy FDR give some reasons to why we shouldn't tt an NSX?

Well I will GUESS maybe becuase the NSX should stay normally aspirated?
I mean turbochargers will ruin its drivability and it was designed to work with
out them I think. I don't think Honda likes them, they prefer revs....and I actaully agree
with that lol.

PS merry xmas too.

Alright! everyone applaude, the person that tells what I should do and which topics are worth our time has finally arrived! I'm so glad someone finally mature and not an jerk has posted thier deep and meaningful thoughts......wait
I meant "shove off, you ignorant slut"

:lol: I'm laughing cause my next line is "Merry Christmas!" Don't cha' love the holidays?

well, said raith.... :lol:

if u put twin turbos on an NSX it would be suicide to do it u would av 2 put a smaller engine in the car like a 2 litre

wat u mean :?: :?: :?:

Yeah, are you sating there isn't enough room in the engine bay? or that it would be too much power? :lol: I think a low boost TT application would be very possible with minimal modification to the engine.

twin turbo NSX
http://www.superstreetonline.com/featuredvehicles/12619/
here is another one
http://www.cartech.net/nsxturbo.htm

Sweet, Twin Turbo charging an NSX for under $10k is now something we can say as a fact. Now, how much does it cost to TT a Vette again? :lol: I kid, I kid. IKNOW a Lignenfelter Vette is probably faster, but it's still more expensive than a TT NSX. Make up that $40k with more engine treatment and modifications and I'm sure it would be one of the fastest cars on the raod, kicking Ferarris and other more expensive exotics in the face, hardcore stlye. The essence of super tuners realized.....again :wink:

Yeah but a new NSX is TWICE as much as a new Corvette. :roll:

yeh...i would say so...

yeh...i would say so...


Or more....

i would take the NSX over the Vette, but if it is the Lingenfelter I would take the Vette. That is a sick machine, and nothing really tops that except for maybe the Hennessey Viper. But as for American cars, I dont really like anything else.

you guys are dreaming zo6 stock will eat any other stock sports car up on the street or the track dont lie to yourselves. riceburners dont stand a chance in hell.:p p. s. dont embarrassas yourselves!!!!!

doesnt have to be a ling. anymore. twinteck doit on the z06 under ten and smoke anything on the road. wake up and smell the rice boys it is the supercar

I only read the first few pages but this is what I have to say. The LS1 would be reliable, considering every engine is hand built. The NSX is an old car, and it pretty much sucks ass in every category. I've only seen supercharged NSX, the engine might very well blow (just like the car does).
