Are you serious? That seems REALLY high just for PS to be not run by the engine. Does it mess with the tune at all then? .2 just seems like an AWFUL lot.

i did it one day and did some runs and was wondering how i could make the car faster (back in the day) then i took off the ps belt and got 2 tenths consistantly... but it was when the car was slower (17.1 vs 17.3) no other mods. Im still on the same engine that used to run 17.3. on the a20 motor you can take off just the ps belt as it drives just the ps pump.

Same on the Y8, just can't recall if it's on the outter most part of the crank pulley or not. :-\ You think it will jack the tune? I just think that's crazy getting THAT much out of not running a little pump. You get where I'm coming from? I don't doubt you did it and tried, just, wow.

was that spinning them or hooking up/bogging? Even if i ran 1.9 60 fts i should still be around 12 sec territory i think...

Well I don't know if they will fit, NSX Calipers and 11" rotors throws a wrech at it. I had 13" ASA Alloys with spacers making it about a 4" backspace on my 10.3" Teg brake with heavily shaven rotors. Now the Aluminum rims are going to give less clearance due to more material in the rim. I'm going for probably 13"x7" with a 2.5" backspace for my 24.5X9x13 slicks this season.


All I can say is get the tape measure out!!

My buddy Jim cut a 1.7 on M&H 22's stock b16a :y

The lenso wheels are pretty cool, just wish they came in 14's
