Here are some pics of how the car sits… side skirts, front lip missing & it still on lift.. so it will look a lil bit more aggressive than this when done… but this gives u a good idea of how the car looks….

Dana at virtual works is finishing up some of the final stuff for the car… once that is done its time to break in the motor… off boost.. ugh…

n

Fresh out of the hot tank, the 3.2L nsx block ready to be assembled, if you look towards the cylinders you can see the darton Iron MID sleeves.

-

OEM crank is in, yellow & pink bearings & main caps are on. 6 bolt caps, coming from 4g63.. these caps are impressive.

-

Heads are on, notice how smooth the intakes look. 1mm over sized Inconel Valves. Ti retainers.

-

Close up of the intake valve job… these suckers flow.

-

OEM camshafts & cam gears installed. Look how clean that thing is!! looks brand new!

-

And we are pretty much done, timing is correct, tension is perfect… next up is welding in the STMPO baffle for the oil pan & then custom making the exhaust… after that the car will be ready for dyno tuning.

thas it for now… some of this stuff I dont know about as the fxmd guys are building this car for me. Usually im more involved in my builds but im trusting the guys on this one.

Craftsmanship, as you will see, is top notch. Quality of materials, fabrication & welds are fantastic!

Here is what we are doing to the NSX street car project:

NSX Lightweight Aluminum Rear Bumper Beam

The NSX Lightweight Aluminum Rear Bumper Beam is a direct bolt on replacement of the factory rear beam. The mounting points of the license plate and valance are kept with strong nutserts and tabs and use of OEM hardware for additional benefit.

This replacement beam weighs a total of 8.8 lbs, and is much lighter than the original factory steel beam and also the aluminum replacement Acura made in the later models.

OEM 1991 Rear Beam Steel – 23.7 Pounds
STMPO Aluminum Replacement Beam – 8.8 Pounds
Weight Saved – 14.9 Pounds

The STMPO Race Products NSX Lightweight Aluminum Rear Bumper Beam is superior to the other replacement beams on the market. It retains the original length that keeps the foam in the rear bumper cover, retaining the factory spec 5 mph bumper benefit.

NA1/Coupe Rear Strut Tower Brace

Unlike any other RSTB’s currently offered, the STMPO NA1 RSTB connects the cars most critical mounting points (shock towers) to the front engine firewall supports. Chassis strength is exponentially increased by adding substantial support to the largest void in the aluminum uni-body design… the engine bay.

- Solid 1 piece design… easy to install
- 100% tig-welded Lightweight 14 gauge rectangular steel tubing
- Large surface areas at all 4 mounting points… shock tower mounts hits all 3 studs
- Front gussets connecting the forward bars to the front mounts

NSX Front Chassis Brace

The STMPO RACE PRODUCTS NSX Front Chassis Reinforcement Bar replaces the existing OEM steel tie down brackets with laser cut steel replica’s welded to a 1 1/2 ” chromoly tube in between for a more ridged front chassis. This set up adds a sturdy reinforcement up front without the additional weight since we replicated the OEM tie down brackets a bit thinner to make up for the light weight chromoly bar.

This bar comes welded in one piece… not a 3-6 piece “bolt on and adjust with brackets” system. This is also not aluminum or a bent aluminum piece for that matter… that advertises additional chassis support. This is the real deal in added chassis reinforcement.

Front Strut Tower Bar

STMPO’s FSTB allows all LHD NSX’s to increase suspension performance dramatically by connecting the mounting points of the two front shock towers. This is the only one piece design front strut bar that that keeps the plastic cover on the car with a working driver windshield wiper.

You have the choice to remove the passenger wiper or keep the wiper on the car. If you remove the passenger wiper… you can remove the wiper and the steel bushing for additional weight reduction. The driver side wiper will function as originally designed from the factory. 100% tig welded 6061 aluminum construction makes this FSTB lightweight and extremely durable.

The bar is then finished with a special bead blast for a brushed aluminum look.

STMPO Brake Ducts

Stmpo Race Products Oversized Front Brake Ducts mount to the exsiting bolt locations of the OEM brake deflector. Our duct is over 4 times the size of the existing deflector and will maximize air flow to the front rotors during aggressive driving.

Having more airflow to the front rotors will increase braking performance and increase the life of the pads.

Up next is the finished turbo system… then the motor goes in and car should be done!!

The new FXMD turbo setup on the current unlimited FXMD NSX that was designed with AFI does well over 800 hp and has the aero as well as the tires (unlimited class) to do whatever they can to hold it to the ground

This NSX will compete in the Street tire class and will use a similar but more horsepower appropriate set up for the class it’s running.

STMPO and CTD’s came together in conjunction with FXMD’s testing and data research .. to design a truly track proven y-pipe layout. Their efforts together in redesigning and building different set-ups with characteristics from gt30r’s to 35r’s along with the v-band and divided housings.

the set-up I am getting.. The final “high performance Design” Made with CTD Fabrication. A T-3 Flange twin scroll – truly divided manifold with dual gates. Built with 316 food grade stainless steel (polished on the inside).

-

The turbo will be a GT35r with a 1.06 divided hot side… a huge step up from the previous t-3 flange hot side by Garrett… now readily available.

>> Please visit STMPO’s website here <<

Im super excited to drive the car with this setup.

I was really looking forward to this event. I won here in 2007 driving my streetcar & always liked the facility. Besides, I was excited to hit the big banking & see how fast we could get the car going.

The guys at Road Race Engineering had been working real hard on getting a solid 650whp out the car (low boost setting)

-

Peter working his ass off all weekend, trying to keep the car alive… all hail the mighty Jamal!

-

Unfortunately we had motor problems all weekend. Saturday plagued us with a popping IC hose that just wouldn’t hold boost, then on Sunday the car over heated & lifted a headgasket.

Check out the new side exhaust & fiber front fender elements.

For the few laps the car did hold up though it was a dream to drive & it is so much fun to hit that large nascar banking. It is almost unbelievable how fast & hard you can push the car through there. Nothing like bouncing off the rev limiter in a built cosworth motor in 5th gear!

I know this is an expensive sport to stay competitive in & being a privately funded team I know it will be hard for us to keep on doing this. I do hope it works out though, with current power level & set up I feel the car would give anyone a run for their money at Buttonwillow.

We had to cancel practice & shakedown runs for Friday because the car was not ready yet. The guys had to work on the race NSX so time for the street car was very limited. We didnt have time to align the car correctly, it wasnt the end of the world but I know we could have gone faster with a proper alignment.

Saturday, during the morning ‘money’ session I blew a radiator hose, sprayed my whole window & engine bay, ending my session. I knew I probably wouldn’t get fast time of the day because of that, but I feel lucky I didnt blow the motor & as it turns out a valve stem broke & I had a flat rear tire… ‘luck in the unluck’ I guess.

We fixed the radiator hose & made tire pressure adjustments. Afternoon session the track slowed down by about 1-1.5 seconds but I managed to knock off another 3 seconds & get only 3 tenths of a second from the top qualifying time.

The winning time was ran in the morning session, so I felt good about the performance of the car today & know I woulda bagged it if the car was prepared properly for the morning session.. but that is racing & I am really happy with how fast & FUN the car is to drive.. even with a whacky alignment.

I also want to note that I drove my car to the track & home in one piece. This to me is a big deal as I have been striving to get reliability out of it.

Thx to all my sponsors AMS PERFORMANCE, YOKOHAMA, ROBISPEC, CL BRAKES, REESE TUNING, FXMD, MILSPEC, FORGE & FORCED PERFORMANCE without you guys & the support of evom forums the car wouldnt be running!

Special thx goes out to JE Pistons/SRP Pistons & Manley Rods pls support these manufacturers as not only are they super cool stand up guys.. but they also make one hell of a great product.. u just cant go wrong with my combo!

Next up is the RedLine Time Attack at California Speedway, but not in my personal car… in the Robispec/RRE modified class evo9, should be a fun event!

Yellow, blue & gold to represent my home country Sweden, I luv it!
