LoveFab built an amazing NSX for Pikes Peak 2012 that featured a 1,056 horsepower monster 3.0 L V6. The car achieved a second place in the Unlimited class that year. Soon after that Paul Coffman contacts LoveFab for a turbo kit but since they were switching to a LSx powerplant for 2013 he ended up with the LoveFab engine instead. Paul installed the motor into his 1991 NSX which has a 2002 front and rear body conversion.

The engine uses the 3.0 L block with 9:1 compression pistons, Carillo rods (balanced within 0.5 grams), Supertech valves, 1000 cc injectors, and a LoveFab turbo kit. Paul swapped the turbo for a smaller Garrett GTX3582R to get the power band more in the 3,000 rpm range. The current setup is producing 642 horsepower.
