Dr. Gerald Ya Ya yea hondas ruled the 90’s but today you don’t really hear about them. Everyone talks about the supra or skyline and the nsx is a looker but its not that fast
Amir's NSX is amazing I've been following all of his builds for about 10 years. Also go check out Amir's youtube channel (RS Future) it has all of his time attack work and him working on the car through all it's iterations.
Where are his other builds featured? Ive been subscribed to the channel but it only goes back to mmoui's motor build which is like a year ago or so. Thanks
Such an ultimate machine, amazing top-notch execution of a universally appealing idea. You can tell because no decision was made to favour looks, and yet it looks immaculate and incredible from every angle inside and out. Another perfect match with the Build Bio series!
Always enjoyed the NSX but this one is absolutely perfect. Dan nailed it as always, this car looks like the best of both worlds. Great discussion, great car
tbh im normally not a build bio guy, but just the fact that this time its a early 90s NSX INSTANTLY made me wanna watch it lol these cars are my true dream machine
They drive amazing especially considering how old the technology is nowadays. It's like driving a rollercoaster on the street, they hook n stick VERY well. One of the coolest factory cars I've ever driven tbh..
I worked in car dealerships for quite a while and drove so many big cars. AMG, S-class, G-classs, anything. Never ever did I feel like "Oh man this is extremely valuable!", just "Oh man, this costs money!" Well.... not until I got to sit in an NSX at a car meet. These things really have an aura. Just sitting in one was more meaningful to me than literally going top speed in an AMG on the Autobahn. (if you wonder, a 2015 GLE AMG will do about 293kph indicated)
i like the exhaust system that you have! it reminds me of the 80s F1 Turbo era. BMW engined cars had a similar set up. The BMW engines had a 1.5l, 4 cylinder turbo. meanwhile the rest of the pack had V6 and V8 Twin Turbo 1.5l engines.
K swap is always a great choice, Honda builds amazing motors and their are so many upgrades to get what you need out of the motor. Reliable at 500 plus HP. Sweet!
The first drive was a surprise. It balance and drivability felt the same as the C. Just more agile due to the weight loss, and quite a bit faster in a straight line.
3:10 the wheel spec's Just WOW! But Mind💥 🤯 at 295 squared!!!!! Stepping up to 295 on each corner!!! Should invite out for some demo laps at burnyard/irwindale? Or THIS vs THAT contender!
Build Bio is back this week and what a TWIST! For me it's an insult to swap the high revving V6 on the NSX but at least it's still Honda powered and i can respect that! 😎
There is loads more available for good reliable power for the k20 than there is for the c30a or c32b. When you also consider the weight offset and the price of high reliable power from the c30/32 keeping the V6 doesn’t make sense.
@@Emil77777 Nah, NSX was made to be a V6 and it should stay like that, i know the K is a GREAT engine and can make a lot of power easy, i respect that but the NSX should always stay V6
Joe Alex But that doesn’t make sense for this application. Why would you fight the c20/32 to make this power reliably when you could just use the right engine for the job? I’m not shaming the v6 it’s one of the greatest sounding Honda engines ever made but it’s not right for this at all. It’s also why the JGTC Supras used the 3S-GTE instead of the 2JZ. Power to weight easily trumps purity.
@@Emil77777 also the K fits so much easier and makes working on the car a lot easier. Parts are much cheaper and easily sourced. Replacement blocks are everywhere and cheap. For this build yes the K makes absolute sense!
12:35 All those mods but your still missing a little black paint behind those wheels ;)(Love Nads hes the best at interviews his attitude and just everything about him he is natural. Bless up
Waaaaaa!!!! Thats awesome! I'm all for a purity and keeps things the way they should especially Honda's because they love hondas but to K swap it and then racr it and to have it be awesome blows my mind On top of that he painted this car and iconic color and it looks damn good!!! can I please do a build breakdown with nads!?!?!?
The midnight purple almost looks like Honda should've used it instead of Nissan on the R34. The color changes and reflections on the NSX's curves are fucking crazy.
2:49 - so my mother had a black honda civic that looked so similar to this paint but less nice, it had this purple shine in the sun, I kinda miss that car very nice little baby honda.
Driven B18 and K24 on track for a couple years. I'm currently driving a Golf Mk3 2.9 VR6. Lets just say, there is no replacement for torque outside a turn
@@RSFuture thanks for the reply. Just peaked my curiosity. 1 more question. Do you run an ati damper with a balance shaft delete or is it a factory type setup?
@@arcadiagreen150 No problem! Since it's a K20 it doesn't have a balance shaft. We run a stock oil pump that has been ported and the stock crank pulley.
@@RSFutureo ok, i must have confused whether it was a z1 or z3 k series. Ive seen quite a few k series hurt their oil pumps in the drag racing world. But you guys are running a more reasonable rpm. Around 10k rpm and up, the oil pump start "exploding" for lack of a better word. Thanks for the replies. This car is so well done, id just like to commend you on making a proper example that even older Honda guys like me can approve of.
I think dan had a few nad dad's coffee cups before the shoot lol. Did you the trud station with no engine in it. Hert I think it's time to let her go or ksawp it
Thanks to Hoonigan for having our car on the channel, and to everyone for the kind words! Feel free to ask if you have any questions.

the NSX is a true 90's dream machine
Captain obvious has entered the chat
I see my general managers Acura nsx every day. And I've been trying to get him to mod it.
It’s my goal to buy a 91 NSX, so I can always tell folks, “this car’s as old as I am, just better looking”
Dr. Gerald Ya Ya yea hondas ruled the 90’s but today you don’t really hear about them. Everyone talks about the supra or skyline and the nsx is a looker but its not that fast
Indeed, *i am a nsx*
Really to think Dan just worked on cars before Hoonigan is crazy. He’s such an incredible on screen personality.
I know right, I feel like every other day I see him talking to someone else he worked with before Hoonigan.
Nads is literally Julian from Trailer Park Boys, always a drink in his hand😂

Amir made it to Hoonigan! One of the dopest guys I know and a true car guy. Congrats Amir!
Thank you so much!
This might be my favorite k-swapped vehicle. Absolutely amazing, glad that you guys put it on the show!
that guy really looks like he knows every single nut and bolt of his NSX, i like that
Hoonigan really brought Amir and this absolute weapon on the show, today was a good day!
Always enjoyed the NSX but this one is absolutely perfect. Dan nailed it as always, this car looks like the best of both worlds. Great discussion, great car
I LOVE that he kept the flip up headlights
This guy built a street JGTC car. Pretty insane on how well the car being setup.
omgggg AMIR i love this guy he used to take care of me when he worked at a bmw shop! glad to see he’s doing great
tbh im normally not a build bio guy, but just the fact that this time its a early 90s NSX INSTANTLY made me wanna watch it lol these cars are my true dream machine

Bruh... that looks like the vision of what I want my NSX to look like. Beautiful work my man.
Thank you!
The amount of work gone into this is awesome and that paint is an amazing colour
90's NSX among my top 3 all time favorite cars
#mealso
MUCKFOOT it’s okay to be gay. Don’t be insecure to come out of the closet
His build is so good! Saw the video when he broke the record, congrats to him!
hey! i know this guy! i met him at The Ridge during time attack. couldn't be happier for this guy, very friendly
It was great meeting you, Varg. Hopefully we'll see you at the Ridge again next year.

When he stood on the front splitter I freaked out for a second 😮 Pretty awesome!
Amir is such a humble guy
I used out with Amir back in the day, he didnt come from a rich family or own a big business. he worked and save to get all his car.
Thats got to be one of the cleanest K20 I've ever seen.
Beautiful build Amir
Amazing fabrication work
Looks n sounds like a track rocket
And he drove it there
Right on Dan
Thank you!
Love getting to see Amir's cars. He's a great driver and an absolute killer builder.
Thank you for the kind words!
As the NSX looks like JGTC car, somehow it reminds me of JGTC Supra with 4 cylinder 3sgte engine. Phenomenal job Amir
Im doing a k20 swapped rallycross kart soon. Goal is 220hp NA .
just refresh it a little, k swaps are generally 210-235hp
@@chomin3025 we run restrictorplates for cup spec. Without them it should make around 240 to 250 hp.
@@HRM.H you put accusump or just a deep oil pan?
@Thomas put some cams, the type s conversion and an intake then
220 is easy. Good luck with your build

not a honda guy at all but damn that nsx is gorgeous
Holy shit... honestly the best looking NSX ever! So clean from the colour to the rims and the carbon fibre is so sexy
K swap is always a great choice, Honda builds amazing motors and their are so many upgrades to get what you need out of the motor. Reliable at 500 plus HP. Sweet!
This is up there with the Pontiac Fiero and the custom rod in the early episodes with the exterior rod style steering linkages. IMO.
So glad Dan is back, his passion makes this show what it is
I haven’t watched yet but straight away I’m picturing Nads drooling goi crazy 🤤
Nads and Dan DT style combo is perfection. They get equally excited and nobody is a cool guy about anything.
We are running the same turbo on our K24a2 powered e30 and it feels insane! Sooo much midrange power.
Congrats to Amir! Super humble guy! Check out his TH-cam channel: RS Future
You're too kind, thank you, Gus!
Thats a wonderful machine, thanks for letting us see the work on it.
I really want see a head to head this and J’s Racing s2000, hot version USA should comeback.
This would murder that lol
im usually no fan of fancy paint jobs but this looks just incredible
Ohh it's this dude! I know him. See him at the track a lot. He runs speed ventures events and honda time attack?
Not too much power but super light??? This is beautiful
I've always wondered how a swap like this would turn out! Quite interesting to see the result be a time attack car.
The first drive was a surprise. It balance and drivability felt the same as the C. Just more agile due to the weight loss, and quite a bit faster in a straight line.
Always happy to see friends doing cool things. Good stuff, Amir!
I love this car so much. Fabulous job on the build
That thing was legit a $200,000 build (including the price of the car).
Guy steps on the front splitter like a boss!
Best of the BEST! AMIR's NSX is top notch !
What an awesome car! Also love the way he explains everything. Lot of knowledge.

bring back this era of hoonigan pls
That front downforce is a flex
That thing is freakin rad!! Love it. Midnight Purple II is one of my favorite colors ever.
Wow this nsx is a perfect blend well done
You know he's an actual car when he Jack's up his own car and takes the tire off.

Nice road atlanta footage. Cool track, and 45 min from my house

Yo! Always good to see friends on the channel. Amir's NSX is so goddamn sexy.

Had those same rims on my 2002 type r k20a awd and yes it was a real honda integra in cali that was leagle
Can we get this one on "This Vs. That"..?! I love this car❤☯️
If only honda made a high revving production V8, wish someone could "glue" two k20/24 or b16/18 engine together.
that’s one of those cars that gives you butterflies
So much to love about hoonigan. I hope I build something cool enough to be reviewed 🙏🏾
NFS Pro Street, the NSX was a monster!
so true. i had one for grip class, stage 4 everything. faaaaaaast af
