Timothy, because the K20/24 can make more power, reliably, for much much less in cost. There are plenty of places that will build 800-1000hp K20/24 for you, reliably, but not a lot of C30A (if any?) running reliably at that power level. It's just the aftermarket has done a lot lot more development for the K20/24, so it's a much more mature platform for modifying to 500+hp levels than the C30A. Not to say the C30A is a bad engine, but it's just a little more exotic, rare, and as a result the aftermarket support never got developed to the same level of maturity. Do a little research on the topic and you'll see how great of an engine the K20/24 is and how great the aftermarket is for it.
These are things that I knew but the question still stands. Why would you want a 4 pot in an NSX? I´d rather keep a 400WHP V6 then swap in a 4 cilinder. Power isn´t everything and if we´re swapping for 800+ HP you might as well go for an LS. Talking about modding I personaly wouldn´t even turbo/supercharge it, I think an N/A build on the NSX C30A/C32B would fit the spirit of the car much better then huge power numbers. That´s completely hypothetical though, I don´t have the money to spare for an NSX let alone to mod it. I´ve never actually modded any of my cars, I prefer reliability over preformance, if I want a faster car I´ll just buy one.
I am not knocking the NSX but it does have the typical Honda boringness with its relatively quiet engine and boardroom designed looks. now that being said I would imagine that the NSX and the Chevrolet Corvette are the only two reliable sports cars ever made in that era.
Unless you're planning to workover the engine, including a significant redline increase, feels like an AP2 (late production) S2000 cluster, with 8000rpm redline, would have been a better match. I'd always be annoyed by those missing 1000 rpm with that cluster.
Same thought here... Though when I had my AP1, I too preferred how the tach spans the entire binnacle, which is why I think he went with the AP1. The AP2, with it's matching 8000rpm redline makes much more sense. But Hoovie always comments on stupid choices he makes... Thus : )
Don't listen too much to what people say. You are truly passionate about every car you own, that's all that matters! Keep it up hoovie, I enjoy every video!
Do you think the nsx design and package influenced everything we have today. It’s one of the best designed car ever. Just so happened to come out in 90. Could have come out much later and still been special.
VQ says hi. although i can't really think of any other V6s tuned for high-end power instead of low-end torque off the top of my head, so your point still stands
Quite honestly I think your NSX to be absolutely fantastic. Its not boring at all. Youve done a great job touching it up here and there to improve styling and make it look more timeless. I do hope you add some power but wouldnt blame you if you dont.
+hooviesgarage this is by far the best car you've bought. Your modifications are on point. I found myself quite envious of it while watching this. Props on a well done build!
Thanks for another great video Tyler! You are different from the other you tubers, you really stand out. This has been for quite awhile and still is my favorite channel.
capnskiddies I drove a Volkswagen Golf 1.4 mk3 with barely 60hp. It was slow but a great car to learn to drive with no driver aids helping. Surprisingly it handled pretty well
I can tell you how it sold for that, I said in his original video it would “sell” for an insane amount. I’m actually surprised it only “sold” for 10.5k to be honest. The reason it sold for that much is because none of the bidders ever intended on paying for it. They did it because they think it’s funny and eBay doesn’t do ANYTHING to non paying bidders anymore. It really fucks hoovie because he will still get charged for it and will have to file a claim to get those reversed. The same thing happened to rob ferretti when he was trying to sell that old craigslist BMW 5 series.
I love what you've done man. I'm a huge Honda fan. And I hate ricers who ruins them. You've done a great job. She looks so great. Keep her. Well done truly well done.
It was actually designed from a ferrari guy so who says this things ugly finds ferrari even more ugly. And who says its boring has never driven one and is probably 12 years old.
Love the videos Hoovie, but I'd love to see some variety when you're talking in the beginning or about the car. Different camera angles would add some visual variety and allow us to take in the beauty of the NSX while you'd be talking about the modifications. Also, I've noticed that whenever you start a car, there is a cut between the starting and the driving of it. An exhaust or back angle (like the Pulp Fiction one) would make the car look hella cooler.
Damn dude, generic looking? In what way could this car possibly be seen as generic looking especially with you mentioning sports cars of that era. Nothing and I mean nothing looked like this in those times. This silhuette was until maybe Zonda one of the most recognizable sport cars images ever. A freakin classic. I feel like youre making a joke and every word means the opposite. This car was the opposite of boring in all regards, from the design, to the development of the car with Senna, to the for those (and watching Best Motoring up until not so long ago)times amazing handling/performance beating cars decades younger/more power,, reliable fun engine, daily drivabilty, etc etc... The one and only "boring" part might be the interior which true, doesnt stand out but who cares with it looking and handling like that.
Been watching hoovey for a while now but this is been his best video by far. I love the mods on the car and looking forward to what he does with it later on
My son had a 1991 NSX. It had over 120,000 miles on it when he bought it but it still ran like a bat out of hell! He then modified the suspension, three times, sticky tires and new wheels, transmission work to make the gears closer in ratio, new modified rear end, a couple of types of stainless headers and mufflers, larger fuel injection and a new supercharger. I refused to drive it after all that being afraid of what might happen! Don't get me wrong, I wasn't afraid of it being former owner of several muscle cars with three pedals but more that something would happen to it while in my possession. It was a very fun reliable car.
Probably just people in ferriaris. The interior is considered "bland and boring" XD But the car? HELL NO, definitely not boring. Can't wait to own one of these damn things
Wheels - perfect. Exhaust mods - ok. But you have to admit at least on video this sounds poor. Wing - so so. Interior - wrong. Dashboard "update" - rice.
well done Hoove!really enjoyed the video!!Thanks!! Just a little info, that may,or may not,come handy.Spicy or not spicy meatballs basically do not exist in Italy.They thrive instead in the US. Petition to bring back the grey cat anyone?
5Rounds Rapid It Wasn't Meant To Fight Off The F50 Or A Diablo.. It Was A Class Of Its Own.. The 2nd Gen NSX Has A TT V6 Hybrid That'll Spank The GTR.. Even An Aventador
To be honest, even with this new exhaust on, it still sounds like my girlfriend's Mini Clubman S All4 (a 30K$ car with a 2L turbo engine...) Not really supercar territory.
Honda could have made it not boring looking/sounding, but they did. Look at the Honda Beat its anything but boring and cost 1/4 of the NSX new. Price isn't a factor.
o sharp and angles, over comprehensive body structure makes your tinkler go high. let me teach you son what REAL sports cars look like CURVES, timeless styling im talking body lines that are attractive yet tastful not all this fancy sharp edgy bullshit
He does what he whants and you can see he does not care - Its awsome This is what youtube was ment to be- someone just showing and not caring what other thing because is UA-cam Awsome like always keep it up
ACT 1 PHOTOGRAPHY lmao. We must be watching completely different videos. You’re saying those fog lights with a yellow outer lens and a clear inner lens is factory Honda equipment?
I'd say the NSX looks wise has aged far better than many of its contemporaries - it has pretty much perfect proportions, so it has that classic look that never looks out of date.
This is one of the few cars that essentially won't age terribly. I've seen maybe, maybe 3 of these cars in person in my entire 36 years of living. Still looks as gorgeous today as it did the day it was new.
mannnn when that 90's raceway music kicked in and the headlights popped up.... I can't see why anyone would ever have anything bad to say about this car.
Great car, tasteful upgrades, nice job Hoovie! Keep it, Drive it, enjoy it. Oh, and get an FRS, they’re almost fully depreciated for the 2012 2013model years.
As my passion cars began with PSX GT game, where the NSX was one of best the 5:24 moment brought up the memories. Thanks Hoovie! PS. Shame that your t-shirts are available only in US or Canada.
Dont listen to the haters, Your car looks beautiful bro.. Its one of the nicest nsx i have seen.. That hks mod wasnt all that necessary i felt.. And please dont rev the hell out of it!
I disagree entirely. I think you would do well in prison.
#Hoovie4Prison
Lol
nice to see you here bearded lady, you like cars ? do some on your channel !
Hoovie would make a model prisoner haha
He would, especially after losing his front teeth.
I love this car keep it
indeed
Why would you want a 4 pot in the NSX? There are turbo/supercharger kits for a C30A aswell.
+Timothy B the k24/K20 is a insane 4 pot though with some mods
Timothy, because the K20/24 can make more power, reliably, for much much less in cost.

Whoever says the NSX is boring is a fool.
NSX is boring cry cry cry
V10ViperSRT Isn't it because it's a Acura NSX why people call it boring? Because in Europe and Japan, it's badged as Honda NSX
Anyone calling this boring has never owned one! Think about it!!
I am not knocking the NSX but it does have the typical Honda boringness with its relatively quiet engine and boardroom designed looks. now that being said I would imagine that the NSX and the Chevrolet Corvette are the only two reliable sports cars ever made in that era.

Unless you're planning to workover the engine, including a significant redline increase, feels like an AP2 (late production) S2000 cluster, with 8000rpm redline, would have been a better match. I'd always be annoyed by those missing 1000 rpm with that cluster.
I was about to comment the same thing. Looks a little incomplete, and I'd always be annoyed too.
me three. i think he whiffed getting the AP1 cluster instead of the AP2.
Exactly what I was thinking...

I have no idea how this channel has under 1,000,000 subs still.
If he keeps taking classic exotics and ricing them out, he's going to lose me, and others, as subs.
Heh.
In corners, I imagine it must still be very fun to throw around! I'd still LOVE to drive one and would have plenty of fun.
Bladed Angel love your videos
The NSX is beautiful!!!
I swear, this car could be a new 2020 model, from the looks alone. It's beautiful.
Finally, the Continental is up on the lift!! Yay!!
Do you think the nsx design and package influenced everything we have today. It’s one of the best designed car ever. Just so happened to come out in 90. Could have come out much later and still been special.
That engine is special, high revving reliable V6s are rare.
VQ says hi.
although i can't really think of any other V6s tuned for high-end power instead of low-end torque off the top of my head, so your point still stands
Horațiu Lazăr Alfa
Reliable
Choose one
Horațiu Lazăr all I Alfas I saw so far were broken down or just repaired. The only one that seems to last is the Breno
Quite honestly I think your NSX to be absolutely fantastic. Its not boring at all. Youve done a great job touching it up here and there to improve styling and make it look more timeless. I do hope you add some power but wouldnt blame you if you dont.
+hooviesgarage this is by far the best car you've bought. Your modifications are on point. I found myself quite envious of it while watching this. Props on a well done build!
Love that car! You’ve done a great job improving it and keeping her on the road! Look forward to more videos of it!
He hasn't done a single thing to improve it, unless he's done a tune up perhaps.
Thanks for another great video Tyler! You are different from the other you tubers, you really stand out. This has been for quite awhile and still is my favorite channel.
Screw anyone that cannot see how perfect these are, this is my dream car (jdm version) or a fairlady z twin turbo
Usually I'm not one for modified cars, but your modifications here are on point
That tach is the business bro, nice choice!
That tach, is tacky, bro.
The NSX is actually so beautiful. Really love the 90s versions with pop-up headlights
I has hopping for a new video for my birthday thanks.
Happy Birthday Paul.
a timeless classic, no doubt.
I liked the original cluster but overall the interior looks awesome... Dream car.
0:47 the best dahm tractors ever made
You clearly haven't driven a slow car if you call nsx "slow"
evs251 1.0 seat Ibiza with a full and heady 44hp through the front tyres. Its slowness nearly killed me once, the speed never got close
capnskiddies I drove a Volkswagen Golf 1.4 mk3 with barely 60hp. It was slow but a great car to learn to drive with no driver aids helping. Surprisingly it handled pretty well
its not about horsepower its the way you use it
Uncle SJ 100% agree with that.
I have an 89 VW fox with nearly 80 hp... Should dunno it for the LoLs
Don't listen to the hate. You have a very nice car that is tastefully modified and reliable. Keep up the good work!
One of my favorite cars ever
you simply must do a video on how the heck your 1983 Chrysler LeBaron sold for 10K.
Steve Osgood what
yes, Hoovies LeBaron sold for 10,000.00 on Ebay .
Steve Osgood funded this nsx
I can tell you how it sold for that, I said in his original video it would “sell” for an insane amount. I’m actually surprised it only “sold” for 10.5k to be honest.
The reason it sold for that much is because none of the bidders ever intended on paying for it. They did it because they think it’s funny and eBay doesn’t do ANYTHING to non paying bidders anymore. It really fucks hoovie because he will still get charged for it and will have to file a claim to get those reversed.
The same thing happened to rob ferretti when he was trying to sell that old craigslist BMW 5 series.
you can see the closed auction on ebay for 10K
Tyler you sounded like Mark Antony in Julius Caesar when you were comparing the NSX to european supercars in the first 5 mins of the video.
Tanmay Kulkarni wut not at all
Have to call Hoovy out here have owned my Spa Yellow 97 since 97 and in all those years never has anyone ever called it boring.
Anyone else notice the front bumper looks a like it had a touch-up paint job?
and the passenger seat and the rear bumper too
Red paint on plastic bumpers tend to fade faster than the rest of the car. I used to have a red mr2 and the bumpers had an orange shade to them.
palillo2006 One problem with your theory.. The entire car is aluminum including bumpers..
Greg Williams painted plastic comes out a slightly different color than when the same color is on metal when painted on the car at the same time.
+Legionnaire - What? The front and rear bumpers are injection moulded elastic plastic.
I love what you've done man. I'm a huge Honda fan. And I hate ricers who ruins them. You've done a great job. She looks so great. Keep her. Well done truly well done.
Who calls it boring?
Fucking love this car!
I have to agree...the NSX was an amazing & awesome car! Still is and is an icon as far as I'm concerned!
Any1 who hates on an original NSX isn’t a car enthusiast
Loving the music you add into the drive portions!
The Apollo 911 is cool but something about the NSX makes I️t the best car in your fleet.
It was actually designed from a ferrari guy so who says this things ugly finds ferrari even more ugly. And who says its boring has never driven one and is probably 12 years old.
Modifying cars is so middle class
8:26 the start of the best car guy quote Ive heard this year
I much prefer analogue gauges...
Your workshop skills are coming along, you didn't nearly kill youself this time! Also I think the Car Wizard should have his own channel! :)
For some reason the gauge cluster upsets me
Still an all-time favorite car of mine. Glad you have one so I can watch your videos of it.
Damn that NSX is sexy from inside to outside!
I prefer the original gauges. I also liked the old red/black interior a lot better than this solid black.
4:00 I’m really disappointed in you hoovie. You coulda said “unboxing this is exhausting” but you didn’t. How dare you.
Love the videos Hoovie, but I'd love to see some variety when you're talking in the beginning or about the car.

In the next video: "Why I'm selling my Acura NSX"
H-
this car is completely legit.
the cluster is a really nice touch.
no need to do any engine work. keep it reliable.
thanks for the content, good job
Love the wing and dash👌🏼👌🏼
Nothing better than John Travolta defending his Mitsubishi
Please paint it, tint the windows and replace the antennae with an S2000's.
Beautiful car hoovie, the interior cluster is great and the wing matches the darker glass from the greenhouse!
Not crazy about that new spoiler. It really messes up with the lines of the back of the car.
My son had a 1991 NSX. It had over 120,000 miles on it when he bought it but it still ran like a bat out of hell! He then modified the suspension, three times, sticky tires and new wheels, transmission work to make the gears closer in ratio, new modified rear end, a couple of types of stainless headers and mufflers, larger fuel injection and a new supercharger. I refused to drive it after all that being afraid of what might happen! Don't get me wrong, I wasn't afraid of it being former owner of several muscle cars with three pedals but more that something would happen to it while in my possession.

You got that mod the wrong way round: Those digital gauge clusters should be replaced with analog ones.
Cant believe it , this car is one of most beautiful cars of the century , its so simple and brilliantly elegant.
You should black out the roof
Lol cuz thats a mod ppl care about
You finally have a nice reliable car! That Acura badge between the seats needs to go though......
No one calls it boring..

Oh yes they do...

Honestly the engine and sound IS boring. Its not a V10 or v12 but its reliable. The design is the pinnacle of car shapes though.

I don't care what anybody says that's a badass car
0:36 to 0:47 ........he articulates his point, and sums up this video. But watch the whole thing, it's good.
I'd say the NSX looks wise has aged far better than many of its contemporaries - it has pretty much perfect proportions, so it has that classic look that never looks out of date.
