Is that an NSX? & Some words of wisdom?

[JMDigital]

Went into a store the oher day one guy asked me if it was an NSX??? I actually looked out the window because I thought he was asking me about another car..

another guy said to me "I used to have one of those! You know you should replace the cams with cams from a Non Turbo." I did not really listen to the rest and do not remember why he said that.

Anyone know why he told me that?

Why did he tell me to change the Turbo cams to Non Turbo Cams? Is he just a crazy guy that wanted to talk..

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

Oh yes, that legend.
I'm too lazy to search. Intake cam is different. Supposed powerband increase blah blah.

he probably thought it looked like an nsx cuz everything is a round jellybean these days.. no more long sleek sportscars anymore. but the nsx takes long sleek and LOW to another level, beautiful car. there should be a law that a car is not allowed to be a sports car if it doesn't fit within some L:W:H ratio

From what I've gathered in my lurking - the N/A cams are good for a few HP for those with minor mods & modest power goals ... but it doesn't take many bolt-on's to overwhelm any advantage the N/A cams may give.


... I'll wait for the Crower's, myself !

nsx is a cute car

key word - cute.

but as for the turbo/NA cams, i have heard around here that they'd give a little extra kick to the powerband.

 

[ValgeKotkas]

cute cams too...

The na cam shifts the powerband around somewhat, but like they do become obsolete after a few good mods.

What do you mean by saying obsolete? Will i get lower numbers when puting them in more moded car? It's a interesting topic, maybe its worth to swap

 

[pimptrizkit]

i swaped due i had bad turbo cams.

it feels like i have more bottom end torque, but not hard evidence to back my wisdom..

 

[ViR2]

did u swap both or just the intake one?

 

[SublimeSupra]

Swapping the intake cam for a n/a one shifts the powerband for more down low punch but i have heard it chokes top end alittle.

I will have an NSX someday. Like my first used to be expensive now 30k car
