Cedar Ridge cam pulley upgrade, the factory pulley is spring loaded and has been known to fail, this is a fixed solution.
Power Enterprise timing belt, just a stronger belt that oem.

Ferrea forged oversized valves, the C30A has 1mm smaller valves than the C32B, i believe from memory it's only on the intake side.
Brian Crower Springs, Retainers and Seats. I chose steel over titanium because you hear about titanium being brital and apparently they can snap.
Just as a data point, my engine makes a kind of whining noise when it has warmed up ever since I had Comptech adjustable cam gears and a Power Enterprise Super Kevlar II timing belt installed. I heard the engine makes that sound when the belt is too tight so I readjusted the tension myself, trying to be as accurate as possible. It didn't make a difference. Next time I replace the timing belt, I'm going to use an OEM belt again and hope that gets rid of the whine when the engine is warm.Originally Posted by jaffaz32

ACL big end bearings, we are using Honda main bearings.
Science of Speed Lost Motion Assembly (LMA) upgrade kit, these were upgraded by Honda in later Nsx's as the original design caused the tappy sound coming from the heads.

Fascinating blog. I have a SoS LMA fitted and it is still very "tappy" compared with the Honda upgrade.

There are two types of people. Those who extrapolate from incomplete data.
Really is that so? That's interesting.
There is some adjustments to be made in the heads, have you had these checked and dialed in?
If you have a aftermarket ecu with lots of additional sensors and would like to be able to monitor all of the sensors on a screen GaugeArt will allow you to do this without the need for 100's of physical gauges.
It works with AEM EMS, Aem Infinity and Haltech. Apparently also now supports OBD2 cars in general so assuming it may work on a 1997+
It connects directly to the ECU or obd2 i would imagine the diagnostic port.
Honda made a genuine navigation pod for the Nsx. I have used this to mount a screen with a constant feed to the Gauge Art. Alternatively you can connect it to some double din head units which i think mine would allow but i rather keep the gauge art separate, always in vision and on.
I need to find a better pic.
With Gauge Art you use software to design the layout via an computer, you can show as much or little information as you wish from the ecu.

When increasing power you put more strain on other parts of the car which also need to be upgraded, when guys talk about breaking drive shafts 9/10 they mean the knuckle (join) breaks up. Inside there knuckle you have this tripod looking thing with bearings and it's normally the bearings that go. I think it's very unlikely to actually snap a shaft.
This just doesn't apply to increased power, it's also the intended use, if you track or drag race your car you may also break a rear axle.
These are aftermarket shafts which should handle just about as much power you can throw at them.
This kit does no include the tiny intermediate shaft, it is not as common to break one of them.
Next upgrade would be the gearbox itself, it is rumored that the 5 speed is stronger than the 6 speed because they have thicker gears but they still have their limitations. This is a very pricey upgrade though. I doubt i will replace the box, i will most likely upgrade the gears with an aftermarket solution and get them Cryo treated which is a process that involves freezing components to -200c.

Which screen did you use in the navpod?
Darton Sleeves, when building a motor for Forced induction there is only so far you can go power wise regardless of what you have replaced pistons, rods etc. Sleeves are required to take you to the next level and Darton's are considered to be the best in the game by many. Basically they machine the block to install these, i believe there is a heating and freezing process involved and then the pistons sits within these sleeves.
Again, i'm not chasing the number game. I've learnt the hard way on previous cars and it gets very expensive and doesn't always result in a faster car, there is a point where you can have too much power. The motor is being way over spec'd to last and for reliability.
