    Titanium Exhaust System - sonic motorsports Savannah

    This is not a production piece, but rather a one off, and will not be produced. Everything from the flange to the exhaust tip is Titanium. Our goal was under 4 pounds total, we got pretty close. Stock exhaust system weights 30 lbs. Stock sound was not modified much, but it is louder in...

    2017 NSX Service Manual?

    bump to the top. I am preparing to work on a new NSX in a few days and would like to know if anyone has had any luck finding a service manual, as I have not! Are service manuals available yet for the NSX?

    1998 NSX misfire on 4,5,6

    It may have been a misdiagnosis on my part, but after replacing the module and putting in some fuel system cleaner it seems to run smoother at idle Interesting. My timing light did seem to not fire at times. I attributed this to a bad connection at my coil adapter. The only thing I know with...

    ok I just replaced the SPVDM and the codes are gone! Thanks for the help guys, now just to go ride to the gas station and get some fresh marine gas & add some fuel stabilizer :) Also thanks for the tip Ralph, I cleaned & put some corrosion prevention on that ground, good as new.

    I am fairly certain I have figured this issue out, I have a SPVDM (Spark plug voltage detection module) on order. I detailed some preliminary findings in a previous post but when I posted it it said it was pending moderator approval. Can a moderator review my pending posts?

    1998 NSX misfire on 4,5,6

    ok I think I am finally grasping what this problem really is with this car. I unplugged the SPVDM (Spark Plug Voltage Detection Module), Result: no misfire codes, two codes for spark plug voltage detection module, one for each bank I reconnected the SPVDM and swapped the inputs to it from...

    1998 NSX misfire on 4,5,6

    I didn't measure what the spark plugs are getting, but I used an adjustable voltage indicator, the type that has two pointed pieces of metal on the inside and you vary the distance between the two. it has a scale and if the spark jumps distance X then the voltage is voltage Y sort of stuff...

    1998 NSX misfire on 4,5,6

    Ok, I will try and triple check the results with another timing light, but on cylinder #1 I have to dial my CENTECH (Harbor Freight) timing light to 35* of advance to get it to flash at TDC. If I set it at 0* advance, it flashes way before the timing marks are reached. Assuming this is...

    I s hould also mention that the CKP & CYP have leaked all their potting into the timing belt area. but I don't htink this is cause for a concern, really. let me know what you guys think about that

    1998 NSX misfire on 4,5,6

    Thanks for all the tips guys, I am unfamiliar diagnosing NSX's so you guys are a great help! I have tested the ignitor, and like you said it seems very unlikely. I switched the imputs & outputs around and the codes stayed the same. Also the engine seems rough to me but I've never been in a...

    yes, the rear bank had DENSO's of the correct part number. I don't like Denso's, I changed them all to NGK's. The car went into a lazy shop that only replaced the easy to access spark plugs. I just tested the ignitor/ICM and it turns out it's good. What I did was carefully swapped the...

    1998 NSX misfire on 4,5,6

    Thanks for all the tips guys! Im finally begining working on the car today. I may be chasing the wrong lead, but the car had non resistor spark plugs installed in the front bank. I removed and replaced with the proper NGK plugs but the misfire remains. is it possible non resistor spark plugs...
