<p>It is officially the end of an era for Tsuki, our Honda NSX. After five years running Bourne HPP engines and a Life Racing ECU, Terry has made the decision to move on to pastures new. We want to thank him for his support over the years, but as one door closes, another opens.</p>



<p>This transition presented us with a major opportunity to completely rethink Tsuki’s electronic systems. The main change? Saying goodbye to Life Racing and making the jump to <strong><a href="https://www.tegiwa.com/collections/haltech" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Haltech.</a></strong></p>



<p>Here is a deep dive into the overhaul that is going to make Tsuki an absolute weapon this season.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Brain Transplant: Going Full Haltech</h3>



<p>After getting some excellent advice from the team at Haltech, we spec&#8217;d out exactly what we needed to keep Tsuki running at the absolute limit. We decided to go all-in:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong><a href="https://www.tegiwa.com/products/haltech-nexus-r5-vehicle-control-unit" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Haltech Nexus R5 ECU</a>:</strong> This is Haltech&#8217;s top-of-the-range Haltech ECU, and crucially, it features a built-in PDM. This unit is the new brain of the operation, currently managing a highly capable <strong>683 bhp</strong>. We are currently only running at 1.5bar boost as well, so there&#8217;s plenty left to go when we want to crank things up.</li>



<li><strong><a href="https://www.tegiwa.com/products/haltech-pd16-pdm" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Haltech PDM16</a>:</strong> Because Tsuki has so much going on mechanically and electronically, the Nexus R5&#8217;s built-in PDM wasn&#8217;t quite enough. We added the <strong><a href="https://www.tegiwa.com/products/haltech-pd16-pdm" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">16-channel PDM</a></strong> to handle the extra load.</li>



<li><strong><a href="https://www.tegiwa.com/products/haltech-tca-8-eight-channel-tca" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Haltech TCA8</a>:</strong> An 8-channel thermocouple amplifier so we can keep absolute, precise control over our exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs).</li>



<li><strong><a href="https://www.tegiwa.com/products/haltech-bosch-electronic-throttle-body-with-connector-and-pins" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.tegiwa.com/products/haltech-bosch-electronic-throttle-body-with-connector-and-pins" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Haltech Bosch Electric Throttle Body &amp; Sensor Package</a>:</strong> For razor-sharp throttle response and reliable data logging.</li>



<li><strong><a href="https://www.tegiwa.com/products/haltech-haltech-can-keypad-3-x-5" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.tegiwa.com/products/haltech-haltech-can-keypad-3-x-5" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Haltech 15-Button Keypad</a>:</strong> Giving us sleek, immediate control over the car&#8217;s systems.</li>



<li><strong>Custom Wiring Loom:</strong> To wrap it all together, we had a bespoke loom made to keep everything surgically neat, tidy, and reliable.</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>Taking Control with Haltech NSP</strong></p>



<p>One of the biggest revelations of this swap has been the <strong><a href="https://www.haltech.com/downloads/?srsltid=AfmBOopApgTaYebjXpJmIZ9hrDSZxqzdkfGVhXS9CDBcT9j6OIweHeeG" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Haltech NSP (Nexus Software Programmer) software</a></strong>. The user interface is so intuitive that, as soon as we had the pinouts mapped, we were able to set a massive portion of the system up entirely on our own.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Data is Everything: Supported by AIM Technologies</h3>



<p>We are incredibly proud to announce that we have official support from the guys at <strong><a href="https://www.tegiwa.com/collections/aim" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">AIM Technologies</a></strong> this year!</p>



<p>If you know motorsport, you know <strong><a href="https://www.tegiwa.com/collections/aim" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">AIM</a></strong> is the gold standard for track data. Their sensors and data systems already feature heavily on Tsuki, but having their direct backing takes things to a whole new level. Their technical knowledge is absolutely out of this world, and their insight ensures we are extracting every last drop of useful data to dial in our new setup.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Fueling the Fire: 8 Injectors</h3>



<p>If you followed us last year, you might remember that fueling eventually became our limiting factor. We were maxing out our setup. To ensure we never run into a fuel starvation bottleneck again, we have upgraded to an <strong>8-injector setup</strong>. Tsuki now has all the fuel flow required to safely support high boost levels without breaking a sweat.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Breathing Better: Kelford Cams &amp; VTEC Returns</h3>



<p>More fuel needs more air. We’ve installed a set of <strong><a href="https://www.tegiwa.com/products/kelford-cams-300-306-stage-1-cams-honda-k20a-k24-ivtec-turbo" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kelford Stage 1 Turbo Cams</a></strong>, and they have completely transformed the car&#8217;s power delivery.</p>

<p>The most exciting part? <strong>We didn’t have VTEC previously, and now we do.</strong> The difference in how the car pulls through the rev range is staggering.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Keeping it Cool: PWR Radiator</h3>



<p>All of this newly unlocked power generates a massive amount of heat, especially on track. To combat this, we’ve upgraded our setup with a <strong><a href="https://www.tegiwa.com/collections/pwr-advanced-cooling-technology" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">PWR radiator</a></strong>, and the cooling efficiency speaks for itself when you look at the AIM data from a lap around Blyton.</p>

<p>Take a look at the data comparison below. The <strong>green line represents our 2025 data</strong>, where you can clearly see the Intake Air Temperature was being artificially controlled by water-methanol injection—hence the visible plateaus on the graph. Without that water-meth injection, those intake temperatures would have just kept climbing.</p>

<p>The <strong>red line is our fresh 2026 data</strong>, running purely on the new system with <strong>no water-meth injection</strong>. It clearly shows just how incredibly effective the <strong><a href="https://www.tegiwa.com/collections/pwr-advanced-cooling-technology" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">PWR</a></strong> setup is at managing and stabilising temperatures under heavy track load all on its own, plus we get the benefit of weight reduction now we&#8217;ve removed the water meth tank and lines.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Cockpit: Zestek CAN Wheel &amp; Carbon Tidy-Up</h3>



<p>We didn&#8217;t just spend time upgrading the engine, the driver&#8217;s office got a major upgrade, too.</p>



<p>We’ve installed a brand new <strong><a href="https://www.tegiwa.com/collections/zestek-racing?" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Zestek CAN hub</a></strong> and got a new steering wheel too. This isn&#8217;t just for aesthetics, it communicates directly with our Haltech setup, allowing the driver to control the PDM outputs right from the steering wheel. Integrating this was an absolute breeze thanks to the <strong><a href="https://www.tegiwa.com/collections/zestek-racing?" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Zestek Racing Suite</a></strong>.</p>

<p>To finish off the winter refresh, we added more carbon fibre detailing to the interior and spent time properly tidying up the cabin, giving the driver a clean, focused, and distraction-free environment.</p>

<p>Tsuki is leaner, smarter, and significantly more powerful than she was at the end of last season. We can’t wait to show you what this new Haltech-powered setup can do on the track!</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Why did we choose these cams?</h3>



<p>We aren&#8217;t just replacing parts; we are optimising. The <strong><a href="https://www.tegiwa.com/products/kelford-cams-300-306-stage-1-cams-honda-k20a-k24-ivtec-turbo?_pos=1&amp;_psq=179-T1&amp;_ss=e&amp;_v=1.0" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">179-T1</a></strong> is the ideal choice for our setup, designed specifically for high-output K-Series engines. These cams are engineered to support builds producing 600-1,200bhp while utilising 62mm-72mm turbochargers.</p>



<p>Here is why these cams are a great choice for turbo K-Series builds:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Optimised Drivability:</strong> They feature a smaller side lobe design which is crucial for 2.0L engines. This improves throttle response significantly, helping the car react faster before the turbo is fully spooled.</li>



<li><strong>High-RPM Capability:</strong> When paired with the <strong><a href="https://www.tegiwa.com/products/kelford-cams-extreme-valve-spring-set-honda-k-series-k20-k24?_pos=1&amp;_psq=KVS79-EXTREME&amp;_ss=e&amp;_v=1.0" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kelford Extreme Valve Spring Set (KVS79-EXTREME)</a></strong>, these cams allow will rev safely all the way to <strong>11,000rpm</strong>.</li>



<li><strong>Serious Lift &amp; Duration:</strong> Looking at the spec sheet, the nett valve lift is impressive at <strong>13.20mm (Intake)</strong> and <strong>12.60mm (Exhaust)</strong>, with advertised durations of <strong>300°</strong> and <strong>306°</strong> respectively. This ensures maximum airflow.</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>Another Time Attack weekend, another lap record.</strong> Our K-swapped Honda NSX continued its dominant 2025 season with a spectacular performance at Brands Hatch, delivering our third consecutive class lap record of the year and cementing our position as the team to beat in Time Attack.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Machine</h2>



<p>At the heart of our success lies the potent combination of Honda engineering and forced induction perfection. Tsuki, our NSX runs a <strong>BourneHPP K22</strong> engine with a brand-new <strong><a href="https://www.tegiwa.com/collections/garrett-motion?_pos=1&amp;_psq=garrett&amp;_ss=e&amp;_v=1.0">Garrett G35-990</a></strong> turbo. What makes this setup particularly neat is our calibration system – a simple knob that allows us to adjust boost levels between sessions, giving us the flexibility to dial in exactly what we need for each run.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-17 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex">
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://www.tegiwaimports.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/034A9934.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="682" height="1024" data-id="8506" src="https://www.tegiwaimports.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/034A9934-682x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-8506" srcset="https://www.tegiwa.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/034A9934-682x1024.jpg 682w, https://www.tegiwa.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/034A9934-200x300.jpg 200w, https://www.tegiwa.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/034A9934-768x1152.jpg 768w, https://www.tegiwa.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/034A9934-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https://www.tegiwa.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/034A9934.jpg 1333w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px" /></a></figure>
</figure>



<p>On our default Cal. 4 setting, the engine produces 593bhp at 1.2 bar of boost – already enough to trouble most competitors. But as the day progressed, we had more firepower in reserve.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Mission</h2>



<p>Coming into Round 3, we had clear targets in our sights. Our own Pro 2WD class lap record of 47.146, set back in September 2023, was the first milestone. But the real target was Colin Dorward&#8217;s Pro class lap record of 46.593, set in his Evo last year. Breaking both records would be the perfect way to continue our 2025 winning streak.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Session Breakdown</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Warm-Up</h3>



<p>Luke Sedzikowski, our driver and Tegiwa co-director, wasted no time showing our hand. A blistering 46.431 in the warm-up after just five laps of driving the circuit immediately announced our intentions to the paddock. The pace was there from the very first session, though, warm-up times don&#8217;t count toward official lap records.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Attack 1</h3>



<p>When it mattered, Luke delivered. An even quicker 46.426 in Attack 1 not only broke our own Pro 2WD class record but also broke Colin Dorward&#8217;s Pro class benchmark. Luke managed 3 laps that were all in the 46.4 region so we knew we had the consistency. The NSX was singing, and we were just getting started.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Attack 2</h3>



<p>The decision to bolt on brand-new Yokohama A005 slicks proved inspired. On just his first lap past the start/finish line, Luke found another 0.704 seconds, posting a sensational 45.722. The grip from the fresh rubber transformed the car&#8217;s potential, and Luke made the most of every tenth available.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Super Attack</h3>



<p>For the ultimate session, we unleashed the NSX&#8217;s full potential. Switching to Cal. 3 cranked the boost to 1.4 bar, pushing power output to a massive 640bhp. Luke rose to the occasion, putting a crazy lap time in on Brands Hatch&#8217;s tight confines to deliver a stunning 45.556.</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://www.tegiwaimports.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/034A9921-scaled.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="504" data-id="8509" src="https://www.tegiwaimports.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/034A9921-1024x504.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-8509" srcset="https://www.tegiwa.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/034A9921-1024x504.jpg 1024w, https://www.tegiwa.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/034A9921-300x148.jpg 300w, https://www.tegiwa.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/034A9921-768x378.jpg 768w, https://www.tegiwa.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/034A9921-1536x756.jpg 1536w, https://www.tegiwa.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/034A9921-2048x1008.jpg 2048w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a></figure>
</figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Challenge</h2>



<p>Setting these times wasn&#8217;t just about raw speed – Brands Hatch&#8217;s compact layout meant navigating traffic from slower classes throughout the day. Credit to Luke for finding clean air when it mattered and making the most of every opportunity to set a flying lap.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Looking Ahead</h2>



<p>We&#8217;re now 3 for 3 in 2025, having set new Pro 2WD class lap records at every event this season. The consistency is remarkable, but we&#8217;re not satisfied yet. When we return to Brands Hatch in September, the target is clear: break into the 44-second bracket.</p>



<p>Before then, we&#8217;re heading to Snetterton for Round 4, where we&#8217;ll look to extend our perfect record-breaking streak. The <strong>BourneHPP K22</strong> and <strong><a href="https://www.tegiwa.com/collections/garrett-motion?_pos=1&amp;_psq=garrett&amp;_ss=e&amp;_v=1.0">Garrett G35-990</a></strong> combination has proven to be a formidable partnership, and with Luke behind the wheel, we&#8217;re confident of continuing this exceptional run of form.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Bottom Line</h2>



<p>Another weekend, another record. The NSX continues to evolve, and our understanding of the car&#8217;s potential grows with every session. 45.556 is a time that would have seemed impossible just a few years ago, but with the right combination of parts (which are all available at Tegiwa.com), preparation, and driving skill, we&#8217;re rewriting what&#8217;s possible in Time Attack.</p>



<p>Roll on Snetterton – let&#8217;s make it 4 for 4.</p>

For <a href="https://www.tegiwa.com/"><strong>Tegiwa</strong></a>, our Honda NSX known as<strong> Tsuki</strong> is exactly that—a testament to automotive engineering and racing ambition.</p>

<h4 class="font-600 text-xl font-bold">The Beginning: 2019</h4>
<p class="whitespace-pre-wrap break-words">Our journey with our NA1 Honda NSX began in 2019 when the car arrived at Tegiwa as a rolling shell, perched precariously on ill-fitting steel wheels. At this point, it was nothing more than a potential canvas waiting to be transformed.</p>

<h4 class="font-600 text-xl font-bold">First Steps: Endurance Racing</h4>
<p class="whitespace-pre-wrap break-words">While the NSX would have originally left the factory sporting its iconic C-Series V6 engine, we made a deliberate decision to deviate from this path. The original power plant, though legendary, presented significant challenges for our racing ambitions. Limited aftermarket support meant sourcing performance parts would be difficult, and the engine&#8217;s substantial weight would compromise the car&#8217;s dynamic potential. Instead, we opted for a standard K20 engine sourced from a Civic Type R. This choice allowed us to go endurance racing, laying the groundwork for what was to become an extraordinary machine.</p>
<h4 class="font-600 text-xl font-bold">Time Attack: First Successes</h4>
<p class="whitespace-pre-wrap break-words">As we ventured into Time Attack, things quickly escalated. A <a href="https://www.tegiwa.com/collections/skunk2-racing?_pos=1&amp;_psq=skunk2&amp;_ss=e&amp;_v=1.0"><strong>Skunk2 Racing</strong></a> K24 engine was  built, delivering a potent 320 naturally aspirated horsepower. This precision and power saw us take the <strong>Time Attack Club 2WD</strong> class in 2020—our first significant milestone.</p>

</p>
<h4 class="font-600 text-xl font-bold">Pro 2WD: Stepping Up the Game</h4>
<p class="whitespace-pre-wrap break-words">2021 marked our entry into the bigger leagues of Time Attack. The Pro 2WD class, bringing with it slick tyres, increased power and more aero. A <strong>Rotrex</strong> supercharger transformed the NSX, and it was during this period that the car earned its name, Tsuki, complemented by a striking new livery that captured its evolving character.</p>

</p>
<h4 class="font-600 text-xl font-bold">Collaboration and Innovation: 2022</h4>
<p class="whitespace-pre-wrap break-words">The year 2022 introduced us to Terry Radbourne of <a href="https://www.tegiwa.com/collections/bourne-hpp?_pos=1&amp;_psq=bourne+hpp&amp;_ss=e&amp;_v=1.0"><strong>Bourne HPP</strong></a>, a pivotal moment in Tsuki&#8217;s evolution. His development of the K22 &#8216;boost&#8217; engine was groundbreaking, with a larger supercharger pushing power to approximately 570 horsepower.</p>
<h4 class="font-600 text-xl font-bold">Aerodynamic Revolution: 2023</h4>
<p class="whitespace-pre-wrap break-words">2023 saw dramatic transformations. A partnership with Andrew Brilliant of AMB Aero resulted in comprehensive aerodynamic upgrades—a carbon splitter, false floor, side skirts, and an extraordinary rear wing. The result? An astonishing 1,500kg of downforce at 150mph—theoretically enough to drive upside down.</p>

<p class="whitespace-pre-wrap break-words">Our efforts culminated in clinching the 2023 Time Attack Pro crown after a nail-biting final session of the season, a moment of pure triumph.</p>
<h4 class="font-600 text-xl font-bold">2024: Pushing Boundaries Further</h4>
<p class="whitespace-pre-wrap break-words">The evolution continues. A <strong>Route KS</strong> wide body kit dramatically altered the NA1 silhouette, allowing us to run massive 305 wide slick tyres on 11J <strong><a href="https://www.tegiwa.com/products/wedssport-tc-105x-alloy-wheel-ej-titan?_pos=1&amp;_psq=tc105x&amp;_ss=e&amp;_v=1.0">WedsSport TC-105X</a></strong> wheels.

<p class="whitespace-pre-wrap break-words">Our development at Multimatic&#8217;s shaker rig revealed fascinating insights, including the somewhat humorous fact that Tsuki is now 12.18 times more uncomfortable than a 1998 Mercedes S class!</p>

<h4 class="font-600 text-xl font-bold">The Journey Continues</h4>
<p class="whitespace-pre-wrap break-words">Tsuki is more than a car—it&#8217;s a rolling testament to engineering passion, a machine that embodies our relentless pursuit of performance. But make no mistake: this journey is far from over. In fact, for 2025 we will be running a <strong>Cylinder Support System K-Series block</strong>. In the world of motorsport, there is no such thing as a &#8220;finished&#8221; car. Each season brings new challenges, new technologies, and new opportunities to push the boundaries of what&#8217;s possible.</p>
<p class="whitespace-pre-wrap break-words">Our commitment remains unwavering. Year after year, we will continue to innovate, to refine, and to seek that next incremental gain. Whether it&#8217;s squeezing out an extra few horsepower, reducing weight, or finding new aerodynamic efficiencies, Tsuki will continue to evolve. The goal is simple yet endlessly complex: to go faster, to be better, to redefine the limits of what a modified NSX can achieve.</p>
<p class="whitespace-pre-wrap break-words">Tsuki is not just a project car—it&#8217;s a never-ending quest for automotive perfection. And we wouldn&#8217;t have it any other way.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 class="" data-sourcepos="1:1-1:70">Tegiwa Time Attack: Weight Reduction and Rob Boston Joins the Team!</h2>
<p data-sourcepos="3:1-3:234">In our <a href="https://www.tegiwaimports.com/blog/?p=7138"><strong>last blog post</strong></a>, we discussed the winter makeover of Tsuki, our k-swapped Honda NSX, in preparation for the 2024 Time Attack season. We hinted at a mission to shed some serious weight, and we&#8217;re here to tell you we&#8217;ve done just that!</p>
<p data-sourcepos="3:1-3:234"><a href="https://www.tegiwaimports.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/034A5817-e1717584490782.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-7509" src="https://www.tegiwaimports.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/034A5817-1024x683.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="427" /></a></p>
<h4 data-sourcepos="5:1-5:26"><strong>Weight Reduction</strong></h4>
<p data-sourcepos="7:1-7:398">We&#8217;ve been on a relentless quest to reduce Tsuki&#8217;s weight by any means possible over the last few years. Pretty much anything that can be chopped out or replaced, has been, so there&#8217;s not much more that we can do! However, replacing the standard doors with super lightweight carbon fibre versions was a no-brainer. These doors, including all the windows and hinges, weigh a mere 7.5kg each! This translates to a weight saving of a whopping 10kg per side compared to our previous stripped-out doors, for a total reduction of 20kg.</p>

<p data-sourcepos="9:1-9:210">Of course we didn&#8217;t stop there though. We also replaced the rear engine cover with a carbon fibre version instead of the polycarbonate. This shaved off another 10kg, bringing our total weight saving to a remarkable 30kg!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p data-sourcepos="3:1-3:480">This past winter, our beloved Honda NSX, affectionately known as Tsuki, underwent a serious transformation. Remember, this is the same Tsuki that won the Pro Class of Time Attack in 2023! We weren&#8217;t about to rest on our laurels; this was a full-on performance and aesthetic upgrade designed to push Tsuki&#8217;s limits even further and turn heads wherever we go.</p>
<h4 data-sourcepos="5:1-5:58"><strong>A Sharper Silhouette: Route KS Body Kit and New Livery</strong></h4>
<p data-sourcepos="7:1-7:354">First things first, we treated Tsuki to a brand new outfit. The sleek and aggressive Route KS wide body kit completely revamped the car&#8217;s exterior. It also meant that we could now fit an 11J <a href="https://www.tegiwa.com/products/wedssport-tc-105x-alloy-wheel-ej-titan"><strong>WedsSport TC-105X</strong></a> with a 305 wide slick tyre on the rear axle with ease to provide even more grip.</p>

</p>
<p data-sourcepos="7:1-7:354">We also gave Tsuki a stunning new livery that was designed in-house here at Tegiwa. This perfectly complements the sharper lines of the body kit and definitely gives her a new wow-factor.</p>

<h4 data-sourcepos="9:1-9:45"><strong>Breathing Fire: New Garrett G35-900 Turbo</strong></h4>
<p data-sourcepos="11:1-11:244">In the boot (or trunk if you&#8217;re American), things got even more exciting. We swapped out the <a href="https://www.tegiwaimports.com/garrett-g30-770-turbocharger-assembly-475-770hp.html"><strong>Garrett G30-770</strong></a> turbo for an even bigger <a href="https://www.tegiwaimports.com/garrett-g35-900-turbocharger-assembly-550-900hp.html"><strong>G35-900</strong></a>. Although it&#8217;s a bigger turbo, we only lost 400rpm off the bottom of the torque curve which shouldn&#8217;t impact us at all due to our <strong>Holinger</strong> gearbox having close ratios to help us stay on boost.</p>

<p data-sourcepos="15:1-15:244">To ensure optimal performance and prevent heat soak, we  teamed up with the guys and girls at <a href="https://www.tegiwa.com/collections/funk-motorsport"><strong>Funk Motorsport</strong></a>. They kindly provided us with a custom exhaust manifold blanket to help keep temperatures down. This high-quality blanket helps retain heat in the exhaust manifold, leading to improved turbo spool and overall engine efficiency, whilst also preserving other vital components located around it.</p>

<p data-sourcepos="19:1-19:315">With the new setup installed, we took Tsuki to Multimatic for development on their shaker rig. We could then put the NSX through various scenarios and gain plenty of data. An interesting fact that we discovered was that Tsuki is now 12.18 times more uncomfortable than a 1998 Mercedes S class!</p>
<h4 data-sourcepos="21:1-21:49"><strong>Pace Products Dry Sump</strong></h4>
<p data-sourcepos="23:1-23:308">The next major upgrade that we carried out was to the oil system. We installed a <a href="https://www.tegiwa.com/products/pace-products-dry-sump-oil-kit-exhaust-side-honda-k-series-k20-k24-k-swap"><strong>Pace Products Dry Sump Oil kit</strong></a>. A dry sump pump system facilitates the cleaner and more efficient circulation of oil within an engine and helps it perform efficiently even under the most extreme corners. With the sump installed, the K22 got a refresh and service courtesy of our engine builder and tuner, <strong>Bourne HPP</strong>.</p>

<h4 data-sourcepos="29:1-29:40"><strong>Torco Partnership</strong></h4>
<p data-sourcepos="31:1-31:270">Finally, we are thrilled to announce our official partnership with <a href="https://www.tegiwa.com/collections/torco"><strong>Torco</strong></a>, a leading manufacturer of high-performance lubricants. <a href="https://www.tegiwa.com/collections/torco"><strong>Torco&#8217;s</strong></a> oils will keep Tsuki running smoothly and efficiently, ensuring we can continue to push its limits on the track.</p>

<p data-sourcepos="33:1-33:364">Tsuki&#8217;s winter makeover is more than just a collection of upgrades; it&#8217;s a testament to our dedication to continuous improvement. We&#8217;re building on the legacy of our 2023 Pro Class win and hoping to create a machine that can put up a fight with the best of them. We can&#8217;t wait to share Tsuki&#8217;s journey with you this season. Stay tuned for more updates as the season gets underway at Anglesey in a weeks times!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s been one hell of a six months for <a href="https://www.tegiwaimports.com/blog/?cat=134"><strong>Tsuki</strong></a> and the Tegiwa Racing team. We&#8217;ve fought hard all season long to be right up there in the points and be in the mix at the end of the championship. So, heading to round 8 at Snetterton with a one point lead over Alfie Threlfall (after dropped scores) in his supercharged Ariel Atom meant it was still all to play for.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-6921" src="https://www.tegiwaimports.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/SY0A6769-1024x683.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="427" /></p>
<p>We&#8217;d suffered with a couple of small niggles throughout the warm up and practice session but had managed to rectify them by the time qualifying had arrived. We also knew we wanted to smash the lap record of a 1.16 which had stood since 2013, so Luke had to bring his A game.</p>
<p>In qualifying, Luke got a banker lap in early doors, but then had to pit as he could hear something banging underneath the car. The crew checked Tsuki over but couldn&#8217;t find the issue immediately so decided to call it a day. This meant that Luke couldn&#8217;t go for his final push run of the session. We then saw Alfie go a tenth and a half faster than us with a 1:12.040, securing the lap record in the process too. This meant that he was now sitting six points ahead of us in the championship heading into the final, but with how the Time Attack points are awarded, it would mean that whoever set the fastest time in the final would claim the win and the championship!</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-6922" src="https://www.tegiwaimports.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/034A3445-1024x683.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="427" /></p>
<p>It was pretty exciting yet extremely nerve-wracking that the past 6 months had all boiled down to the final 20 minute session of the season. As the session started, it all appeared to be going wrong for us from the get go. We missed the initial first two minutes so we could make ourself space on track. When Luke finally managed to get out, Alfie had set a blisteringly quick lap of a 1:11.5.</p>
<p>After Luke&#8217;s first lap of the session we could see that something wasn&#8217;t quite right with the car. Luke had also told us over the radio that he could feel a vibration too. A steward quickly appeared in the garage and told us that we needed to pull Tsuki in to investigate.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-6923" src="https://www.tegiwaimports.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/SY0A6444-1024x683.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="427" />Luke dived into the pit lane and we could immediately see that the rear diffuser was hanging off. This was because the car was travelling so fast, it&#8217;d created so much pressure that it&#8217;d ripped its own bolts off! There wasn&#8217;t much that we could do other than completely removing the diffuser. It felt like the odds were heavily against us now with a major component of our aero package missing and Alfie way ahead of us in terms of time. 10 minutes remained of the session so Luke headed back out to the track, ready to give it everything he&#8217;d got.</p>
<p>As the morale had taken a serious dive in the pits, the atmosphere was very doom and gloom. This soon changed though when we saw Luke put in a purple first sector on the TSL timing screen in our garage. You could literally hear a pin drop as we waited in anticipation for him to finish the lap.</p>

<p>Moments passed and the screen updated and showed Luke had put in a blinder of a lap with a 1:10.678, absolutely destroying the lap record too! It was now a case of sitting tight and watching the clock run down, hoping that Luke had done enough to get the job done and sure enough he had.</p>
<p>It was a crazy day of ups and downs but we&#8217;re super proud to now be 2023 Pro class champions. We&#8217;ve got to give credit to Alfie for pushing us right till the end, it was certainly a season we won&#8217;t forget in a hurry and we hope for more of the same in 2024. Once again, a big thanks goes out to our sponsors and affiliates who play a vital role in creating Tsuki. We can&#8217;t do it without you and your support is most appreciated.</p>

The new 18&#8243;x11J ET15 wheels will allow a 305 width slick to be used, rather than a measly 265! Plus, they only weigh in at 8.84kg. This setup should offer us a new level of grip on the rear so we can push on even harder.</div>

<div dir="auto">With just the rear arches and bumper of our new body kit fitted, it&#8217;s very much still in development at the moment. However, we thought it&#8217;d be pretty cool if we wrapped them in a dazzle camo for the final round at Snetterton this weekend. Check out the pictures below:</div>

<p>The Bourne K22 uses a bowled piston crown design, typical of the type found in modern turbocharged endurance and rally engines. These are manufactured by <strong>Pankl</strong> pistons, featuring the thickest crown known on a K-series engine. The added material in the piston crown design enables us to run higher cylinder pressures increasing engine output and overall on track performance. The piston has been designed using <strong>Pankl&#8217;s</strong> stress analysis software leaving no stone unturned in added strength whilst reducing overall weight. The pistons also feature beryllium bearings and a DCL coated gudgeon pin for increased durability.</p>

<p>Terry Radbourne, owner of <a href="https://www.tegiwaimports.com/brands/bourne-hpp.html"><strong>Bourne HPP</strong></a>, sums the piston assembly up, saying, &#8220;It&#8217;s pretty much a Formula 1 piston in an engine based on a Honda K20.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="https://www.tegiwaimports.com/brands/bourne-hpp.html"><strong>Bourne HPP</strong></a> have also developed a couple of parts for the engine too with their billet high lift cams and valve train.  They are manufactured right here in Britain, in a traditional heat-resisting austenitic steel that has found to be durable in high performance motorsport. The valve sizes for both the inlet and exhaust are increased by 1mm and are available to purchase on our <a href="https://www.tegiwaimports.com/brands/bourne-hpp.html"><strong>website.</strong></a> These are capable of seeing over 300 horsepower on an N/A build and up to 1,000 on anything boosted!</p>

<p>A set of <strong>Mahle Motorsport</strong> bearings now feature too, these are actually made by the same people who make bearings for F1 engines.</p>
<p>The original K20 cylinder block was originally fitted with dry liners &#8211; that is, steel sleeves inserted into bores in the block casting. The Bourne K22 is fitted with wet steel liners from US supplier <strong>Darton</strong>, to Bourne&#8217;s specification. This involves a great deal of machining and material removed from the Honda block.</p>

<p>The crankshaft has been made by <strong>Arrow Precision</strong>, who also make the con rods too. This is a flat-plane, five-bearing, four-pin crankshaft made from 722M24 nitriding steel. The material is hardened and tempered to give a core strength in excess of 1000 MPa. At 12kg, the crankshaft is far lighter than the OEM Honda crank, which is achieved mainly by reducing the number of counterweights from 8 to 4. The crank and rod design brief was to run to 9,500rpm reliably whilst lowering vibration and thus wasted energy within the engine.</p>

<p>The <a href="https://www.tegiwaimports.com/garrett-g30-770-turbocharger-assembly-475-770hp.html"><strong>Garrett G30-770 (0.83 AR)</strong></a> remains in the boot of the NSX once again and has been faultless so far throughout the build. We have cranked the power up to 650 horsepower which is well within the turbos maximum capacity of 770 horsepower and we still have room to push even further!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Our Honda NSX has come a long way since 2019 when it first rolled into our car park on a set of steel wheels and a distinct lack of well&#8230;anything. 4 years on and the evolution of Tsuki is still ongoing, now more so than ever!</div>
<div></div>
<div>The last update on this build was at the end of September last year, as we told you about the brand-new <a href="https://www.tegiwaimports.com/brands/bourne-hpp/bourne-hpp-honda-k22-2-2l-race-spec-boosted-tsuki-engine.html"><strong>Bourne K22 power plant</strong></a> and<a href="https://www.tegiwaimports.com/garrett-g30-770-turbocharger-assembly-475-770hp.html"><strong> Garrett G30-770 turbocharger</strong></a>. Since then, things have progressed even more!</div>

<h4>AMB Aerodynamic Package</h4>
<div>The first, major change that is pretty obvious is that the silhouette of our NSX has drastically changed. This is thanks to the aerodynamic package that has been developed by none other than Andrew Brilliant of <strong>AMB Aero</strong>. Tsuki now has a plethora of carbon fibre aero goodies including a front splitter, rear diffuser, side skirts and a gigantic rear wing.</div>

<div>This process all began nearly 12 months ago now. Tsuki had a full 3D scan which lasted the duration of 2 days so the development could begin. Once the scan was complete, it went into a process called surfacing. This basically turned the scan into a CAD model that allows it to be put into the CFD software. This then enables Andrew to work on a kit that suits our needs before work can begin on making the parts manufacturable. Check out the video on the scanning process which delves into the in&#8217;s and out&#8217;s of what goes into creating the aero parts that we see today.</div>

<div></div>
<div>With the help of various people actually manufacturing the parts including our good friend Ilya Krylov a.k.a <strong>RuskiWeldFab</strong>, the car now looks and performs very differently. We now have 1,500kg of downforce at 150mph which means we could effectively drive upside down as the car only weighs 1,285kg.</div>
<div></div>
<div><a href="https://www.tegiwaimports.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/2023-03-23-12.03.27-1-e1687355129535.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-6665" src="https://www.tegiwaimports.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/2023-03-23-12.03.27-1-1024x683.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="427" /></a></div>
<h4>Race Fuel</h4>
<div>We&#8217;re now running the engine on <a href="https://www.tegiwaimports.com/brands/sunoco.html"><strong>Sunoco</strong></a> E85-R which is an unleaded racing fuel that contains 85% ethanol. Conventional E85 can vary from about 51% to 83% ethanol or so but rarely contains 85% ethanol, but E85-R is consistently blended to always contain that volume. The non-ethanol portion of Sunoco E85-R is comprised of highly-refined race fuel hydrocarbons for stability and consistency.</div>
<div></div>
<div><a href="https://www.tegiwaimports.com/brands/sunoco.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-6664 size-full" src="https://www.tegiwaimports.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Sunoco-E85R.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="489" srcset="https://www.tegiwa.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Sunoco-E85R.jpg 800w, https://www.tegiwa.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Sunoco-E85R-300x183.jpg 300w, https://www.tegiwa.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Sunoco-E85R-768x469.jpg 768w, https://www.tegiwa.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Sunoco-E85R-640x391.jpg 640w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></div>

<div>Using this fuel means that it has a faster ignition timing compared to regular fuel. This leads to higher cylinder pressure, therefore increasing power. It&#8217;s also really sustainable as its a cleaner fuel made from renewable crops like corn, barley or wheat. It reduces emissions by up to 50% over its gasoline counterparts!</div>
<h4>Water Methanol Injection</h4>
<p>To keep things cool we use an <a href="https://www.tegiwaimports.com/aem-water-meth-methanol-injection-kit-v3.html"><strong>AEM V3 water meth injection kit</strong></a> with a custom <strong>ICEFAB</strong> tank mounted neatly where the headlight used to be located. We can now control the air intake temperature to be below 32 degrees!</p>
<p><a href="https://www.tegiwaimports.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/P1322428-1-e1687354999714.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-5815" src="https://www.tegiwaimports.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/P1322428-1-e1660211778707-1024x1024.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="640" /></a></p>
<p>With the upgraded race fuel and water methanol kit we now run the turbo at 1.4 bar of pressure. With longevity and reliability in our mind this sees Tsuki produce 550 horsepower. We also managed more laps than anybody else at our recent race meeting at Brands Hatch, with track temperatures reaching up to 48 degrees.</p>
<h4>Motul</h4>
<p><a href="https://www.tegiwaimports.com/brands/motul.html"><strong>Motul</strong> </a>came through with the goods once again, supplying us with a care package of <a href="https://www.tegiwaimports.com/search/?q=300v&amp;cat="><strong>300V</strong></a> 10W-60 oil for Tsuki. When we&#8217;re pushing the car to its limits, we know that we can rely on <a href="https://www.tegiwaimports.com/brands/motul.html"><strong>Motul</strong></a> lubricants to perform at peak temperatures!</p>

<h4>Lucas Oils</h4>
<p>Whilst on the subject of fluids and lubricants, <strong>Lucas Oils</strong> jumped on board with the build too. They supplied us with a neat care package of products for us to use and of course some awesome merchandise.</p>

<p>We used their Octane Booster when Tsuki was undergoing her last dyno session on pump fuel. This enabled us to take an extra degree of ignition in the map. We then used the coolant additive to help keep the temperatures as low as possible.</p>
<h4>Turbosmart</h4>
<p>Our friends over at <a href="https://www.tegiwaimports.com/brands/turbosmart.html"><strong>Turbosmart</strong></a> have helped us out with a couple of parts on this build. One of which is the game changing <strong><a href="https://www.tegiwaimports.com/turbosmart-opr-turbo-oil-pressure-regulator.html">Oil Pressure Regulator</a></strong> which provides a rock solid oil pressure for the turbocharger from a simple, inline return-less regulator and includes a built in 44 Micron Stainless Steel Mesh Oil Filter.</p>

<h4>What&#8217;s next for Tsuki?</h4>
<p>Tsuki is also back at <strong>ICEFAB</strong> right now as she&#8217;s undergoing a diet. The aim is to strip as much weight as possible from the car in order to make it even lighter. The NSX currently weighs in at 1,285kg (with driver) however our aim is to get down to 1,240kg. This makes our current power to weight ratio 428bhp per tonne but if we can hit out target figures of weight and power, then we&#8217;re hoping we can be at 565bhp per tonne!</p>
<p><a href="https://www.tegiwaimports.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/BrandsHatch-Rounds-3-4-0651-e1686576499886.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-6633" src="https://www.tegiwaimports.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/BrandsHatch-Rounds-3-4-0651-1024x683.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="427" /></a></p>
<p>Tsuki is already taking the 2023 Time Attack Pro Class by storm. In the hands of Tegiwa Director and resident racing driver, Luke Sedzikowksi, Tsuki recently smashed a decade old lap record at Brands Hatch by over 1.2 seconds. However, we want to go even further and fulfil every aspect of potential that it has to offer. Make sure you stay tuned as we bring you more updates as and when they happen.</p>
<h4>Thanks</h4>
