NASA Honda Challenge Nationals

Inside the cabin with Hasport driver Bernardo Martinez. The [TSX] motor was built my HyTech using a combo of all OEM parts and of course a HyTech exhaust system.

Check out the dyno below:

He won the H1 class. That HyTech motor blew the competition away!

Are you associated with them? I've heard some inside info on how they bump the compression up, and I want to find out more details.

Not associated with them at all. The motor will be featured in an upcoming magazine article, not sure which.

I've heard some things as well.

mid ohio would be a bad ass course for the tsx. nice straights to take advantage of the gearing, long sweepers for the stable suspension. Elevation changes to use the torque etc...
Hmm, wonder how mine would fair at Summit Point or VIR? guess we'll see next year!
About the bump in compression, just curious but if you ran the '06+ pistons with the bigger valve reliefs, can't you just shave the head a little bit, increase compression but keep a bit of a safety margin? i mean hell, it's an all motor car so the margins of error ar small anyways.

We all shall have to wait for the article in the up coming magazine. Once I find out which magazine it is I'll report back.

I heard some things on what they used however I'm not going to say to avoid any rumors and etc...

I'm sure we all would like to know what and how John did it

Looked like he was having a little trouble finding the right gears in that vid...

Car sounded great though.

Let just say that the pistons used in that motor did not come from a K-motor.
