FYI, If the SC'er ever needs rebuilding, the guy on the link below does great work at a reasonable price.

I just found out my boy with an auto turbo NSX just got his tranny built. I might go in that same direction.

good guess lol.

ive been wanting another supercharger for the longest.

thanks I've been looking around at potential rebuilders. I might use my local again that I used for my last supercharger if I can get ahold of him. But thanks for the reference just in case I can't.

LOL I figured this post was coming sooner or later.
It's a risk and some people ride the wave out, or just rebuild right away.
Unfortunately since the AT is so rare, and even more rare with a S/C, there aren't many evidence cases suggesting the OEM Trans will hold up or not. As mentioned, seems 50/50.

p.diddy

iTrader: (3)

lol. His hasn't gone out but he said since he went turbo and pushing more than the s/c'd guys he decided he should build it.

gnuts

iTrader: (1)

Are the auto nsx prone to failure being N/A? I'd think they could handle a S/C.

p.diddy

iTrader: (3)

they can be if you're beating the hell out of the car on a consistent basis like tracking it or once they get really high on mileage. The guy I bought it from blew the tranny and had it rebuilt right before I bought it. But he was big on tracking. Because it was rebuilt fairly recently I'm in no hurry to do anything to it. Granted if it blows after I put the blower in I'll just rebuild it. But I don't foresee that happening. I guess my thing is I want to get his monies worth out of the rebuild he did before I get it fully built when I really don't have too right now.

but theyre not even close to how bad the CL auto trannys were.

gnuts

iTrader: (1)

nothing can be worse than the CL auto, lol. And you don't race or beat on it by the sounds of it so you'll be fine I'm sure.

p.diddy

iTrader: (3)

i have my moments, which is normal when you have a sports car. but not nowhere near most people i know. i just feel like the car needs a little bit more hp than it came with. my bolt-ons wer nice but i needed just a tad more.

UNCTYPE-S

I had an 03 Auto CL and my trans was fine.

I just don't understand how my 03 CL-S Auto was 5spd, but 04 NSX Auto is 4spd. Would have been nice to have 1 more gear in there. Rumors have it the 4spd was set up for track purposes.

p.diddy

iTrader: (3)

you must have been one of the lucky ones. ive wondered about that myslef before, why the 04 auto still had a 4 spd. this car had so much more potential that Honda let get away.

UNCTYPE-S

Now that I think about it, the CL-S auto has more HP than the NSX Auto. (260 vs 250 right?). They should've learned and bumped it up on the 02+

p.diddy

iTrader: (3)

yea those numbers are right. but youre at 290 since you have an 02+ manual so youre doing better than me. my CL was a lot faster than my NSX.

p.diddy

iTrader: (3)

its attached to the carpet.

mode not mod. It wouldn't let me edit my last post lol.

Winter mode is one seat

lol I'm in the process of breaking the whole car down. Supercharger install prep, new carpet, etc, etc. tons to get done over the next few months. Probably won't drive it again until the spring.

Absolutely stunning! Just skimmed thru the whole thread and I am a little jealous I will never be able to afford to do something like this... Great work and can't wait to see it when you are done, if ever!

p.diddy

iTrader: (3)

thanks a lot. spring can't get here fast enough. I'll be done eventually lol. This is probably the last major phase of this build.

Oh Sickest TL

finally got the last piece for my blower and air cup install. picked up a Honda display navigation pod only offered for Japanese market NSX's. i plan on mounting my gauges in it, im not a fan of pillar mounted gauges at all.

iTrader: (6)

Well I've enjoyed the process and seeing it all come together.

p.diddy

iTrader: (3)

ive definitely enjoyed the process. im already thinking about my next build. that wouldn't be for a while though. I want a newer daily/beater. either Lexus GS or LS.

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

GS for sure.

p.diddy

iTrader: (3)

i was thinking LS, more room.

p.diddy

iTrader: (3)

after 21 years it was time for new carpet.

Nexx

get the LS, its the flagship for a good reason. i love 09 LS600HL.

p.diddy

iTrader: (3)

id rather the LS but i need to see what those prices are like.

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

Yeah?
True...
I guess RLX too then?

p.diddy

iTrader: (3)

yea no lol. my NSX was the last Acura ill ever buy. like others i don't like the direction they've taken the company. my next purchase will definitely be Lexus.

You hate the 3G?
Just kidding, I'm probably done with Honda for a bit too...aside from the S2000.

p.diddy

iTrader: (3)

my boy had the only 3g ive ever liked. infiniti has some nice aggressive looking offerings coming too ive liked.
