umiami80 - That's right, but the fact that 97+ car comes with OBDII, which will have certain limitation to the performance gain. All 91 - 94 comes with OBDI, and it's lighter in total weight...each have it's pros and cons
OBDI or II, you can always swap in a AEM unit, I watch Turbo Trixx do the VERY same to a custom built TT unit that had the 3.2 in it. Get the AEM Unit with a 3.2 Motor and a 6 speed, NO AUTOS they are so slow the autos.
a 3.2 and a AEM will put over 300WHP with an otherise stock car, and the NSX weighs 2800 pounds so it'll move.

Just a quick update. If everything goes well, I will be picking this car up within a month...an NSX own checked the car out for me and it's in good condition...

I went to an NSX meet last week... a DCEvoClub member has an Evo and an NSX and invited us. In pics, the cars may look a bit dated, but in person, it's one of the most beautiful cars out there. They sound great, and from what I've heard, they're relatively reliable. A couple of the NSXs there had 500+hp (I assume flywheel) but I think they're quite pricey to mod. Anyway, check this thread for a couple of pics:

The NSX is sexy no doubt, but not very exciting.

The next thing I am going to do is prob intake and some cosmetic stuff to update the look....
NSX is an awesome car. Not a great daily driver, but an awesome spring/summer car. Tire wears out reallllyyyy fast!!!
my brother is trying to get a 91' too....usually 20k-25k with some miles. Add a science of speed exhaust and your hit them highways!
