NSX Kit

Evil!
hell yeah!
Turbos.
Thought i'd update this thread. Yesterday went to the engine builder in Essex to see what had been done. Annoyingly i charged up both camera batts and then forgot the memory card! So, Blackberry took over...
The attention to detail Honda put into the NSX engine (C32B) was pretty amazing. The finish and things like the oil nozzles on the pistons were cool to see. Of course the main thing was there was no wear to worry about either.
The chalky look is from the crack testing, of which there were none!
The NSX was the first production car engine to use titanium, but the pistons will be changed for steel items for durability. It is believed the JGTC cars used Omega pistons, which are English, so thats handy!
Seeing as the development is done, we will use Todas throttle body setup, and if possible their dry sump and scavenge pump as again, its already been done.
Favourite so far is a Pectel ECU, as it means we can change maps easily and they are good for full throttle sequentials. Pii dashes owns Pectel so we will use one of those too. The car will rev to around 9500rpm and it will have over 400bhp without changing the displacement. Not bad for a car expected to weigh 1000kg!
Once done, went with my dad to see his Motorsport Elise which was being rebuilt for the upcoming season. The difference in engine size is amazing (new clutch/flywheel there)...
Better mapping control has given the 1.8 motor over 230bhp, and now the 1.9 has gone in and should be nearer 250bhp. Unlike a Caterham R500evo, it will actually be reliable though!
Weight saving measures have been also been made, like cutting away at the door bars...
Some in-house engineering means new suspension mounts will allow further lowering of the car too.
I'm a bit worried its going to be too quick for the NSX!

WOW! im slightly lost as to what to say tbh lol. cars looking incredible mate. some great work going on. this thing will be immense when its all done, by the end of the year you say?
I was taken out is an nsx when I was younger. great cars, and very well balanced iirc. still scared the living crap outta me lol.
keep it up mate

Liking this project. For the record Pectel is the engine control electronics arm of Pi Research, its not a seperate company - just a different department of Pi Research. Pi is part of Cosworth. It does get confusing ;-)
ECU wise I would strongly recommend a Pectel SQ6M, especialy as this provides the option to run full semi-auto gear control as well as engine control from a single box. Capacity for gear control can be built into the wiring loom (simple AS break out on the main spur in a convenient place) which will minimise initial cost (assuming you don't want paddle shift from the off) and provide a seperate gearbox loom. It also gives you TC as standard which may help with wet races, the Ascari boys seem to rate it highly for the GT3 cars.
Dash wise - do you need logging? We've just released Omega D2 which provides identical dash functionality to our Omega D1 but with an integrated chassis logger - you already have engine logging in the ECU plus logbook functionality etc. but this would allow you to record 4 X Wheels speeds, damper travel etc. etc.
Feel free to drop me a mail if you want to discuss - matt.faulks@pectel.co.uk

Weeman sucks ****
that rear tyre is on the wrong way round.

Thanks for the info...
The engine builder (Dave Wilde if you know of him) will be doing the mapping, but we're not sure who will do the loom guy as previous favourite prefers MoTec. I don't know enough about it really...
Chassis logger sounds cool though!

DTW Engines - Good chap and a very good engine builder.
Quite a few options for looms, including us - PWS the wiring arm of Pi can produce anything you need in any spec. It'd be nice to see a fully AS'd mil-spec loom but obviously there is a cost issue here. We're currently doing all the looms for Formula 2 so we have a very good pedigree! If you want a rough idea of price drop me a mail with details of engine sensor pack. run lengths etc.
There are also the likes of TJ's, Viper etc. all of who will happily produce a loom for you. The biggest issue is correctly planning the loom to ensure it supports what is required as the car grows/developes. I'm happy to do you some freebie loom planning if requried.
Cheers

Not yet... all that money and all i'm going to be doing is taking a mould from it! Hope someone buys it from me!
Another bit of JDM magic
