Jaffaz32's Boosted Stroker Build

Power Enterprise timing belt, just a stronger belt that oem.

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.

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.

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.

Hi,

Which drive shafts are these? I need to refurb mine but would ideally like to get a set to swap straight over.

I was looking at the Insane shafts which i'm guessing these are, but found mixed reports and wondered wether you have found any play in the joints?

Which screen did you use in the navpod?

Great update info jaffaz32
I notice that you also have gauges running down your A pillar, presumably the GaugeART solution will do away with the need for these and you can refit the origanol trim panel or are putting other gauges in these too???



And are you going to alcantara the dashboard to prevent that annoying reflection???

Science of speed, they offer a screen as an kit for the Nav Pod. I also recommend the metal bracket to keep it in place.
