Didn't someone say they were going to collate all the NSX figures onto a single graph? It would be interesting to see where the different cars are delivery the performance. Maybe a seperate 3.0 & 3.2 graph??

Shame I missed this, was hoping to get back in time. Might try and get mine on a rolling road by the end of the year, will probably wait till I change the airbox as well.
Nice picture of Matt!

Unless you're changing the intake as well ... a different filter might not make any positive difference ... say he with the voice of experience ... ;-)Quote:

Well I guess the best (only) way to do that now, is if each of us, notes down the figures for each 500 rpm, post it here, then let someone who like spreadsheets (simon) to graph them up.Quote:

Good idea Kevin. I'll do mine tonight.
Without me searching through the service manual to find out the full details ... will do that if the answer to the next bit is favourable ... does anyone know if the process of removing the air in take and swapping it for a more free flowing type is a fairly straight forward and not too difficult a job :?:Quote:

Without the superduperscoopa would just removing the restricting Honda plastic cause more air to get to the filter?
Mmmm ... doesn't sound too bad then ... at least if I drop any of the nuts or bolts they'll just fall to the floor and not get trapped in the nolt catching device ... i.e. like the one to be found below the headlights ;-)Quote:

Removing the pipe and leaving will make the car sound 'different', some say better. SoS tested this option and found less power though. The intake 'hole' has sharp edges and this is not good for airflow, as opposed to the trumpet shapes on velocity stacks for example.
