When the Honda NSX came out, it was hailed as the affordable supercar due to its mid-engine configuration providing superior handling, a sleek design and a VTEC V6 providing 270 horsepower at 7100 rpm. Not long after, tuners began modifying it to improve its performance even further. Even though the NSX is currently not in production, tuners keep on modifying existing models to levels that even the factory could not have imagined. Which brings us to the Esprit NSX. This beast of an NSX is arguably the most extreme example of what can be done to an NSX. The carbon fiber body parts, aero aids and chassis reinforcement are only half the story.
The Esprix NSX’s engine has been rotated 90 degrees, from its original transverse mounting to a longitudinal mounting position. This was so that it could be fitted with a transaxle that is used for the Japan GT Touring Car competition NSXs. Then, twin turbos were added to bump horsepower to the 600 horsepower mark. Every major component was replaced, with the exception of the crank, which was balanced and blueprinted. The heads were treated to porting, polishing and CC’ing. The parts list for the engine alone would fill a page and includes names from the most trusted component manufacturers in Japan like TODA, Trust and Esprit itself. Making these parts work together reliably takes some serious performance calculations and years of experience. The NSX may be out of production but thanks to dedicated tuners like Esprit, Honda’s supercar continues to stamp its presence in the sports car scene.

Diesel Tuning Chips or ECU Remaps generally have to be carried out by a specialist in a workshop, although mobile services also exist.
ReplyDeleteAs they are usually altering the programming of the existing rdx ecu chip, they take no additional space in the engine and no consideration needs to be given to location or wiring.
