The OEM seal with o-ring is airtight. These vented caps are not airtight. Are we sure that the metallic back of the projectors/reflectors is coated and the dust caps are not there protecting the back-side of those mirror-like surfaces from condensation-related corrosion? That (not the...

Russ , Thanks. What software did you use to create these? I’m tempted to figure out how to eliminate the vents, since I suspect there is a reason Mother Honda made these units sealed and the LED companies are saying OK to run under dust caps.

Russ, can you elaborate a little on how the cup sizes are measured and/or what exactly to measure (from what, to the back edge of the bulb/fan) to determine size needed? I want to print the smallest size that will work for me, but not sure how to determine that without having had one of these in...

Please check your order receipt (email) for dust boot size, assuming you consider it to be correct sizing for the NSX.

This thread got my attention today. Russ, thanks for the great 3D designs! Superhatch, more info on this friend who will print/sell them for reasonable price, please. Which lengths of these special dust caps, if any, can be installed without removing the headlight housings? When I look...

Bringing this back off topic, how's the dry sump project coming along?

If it’s likely your actions caused the problem, you bite the bullet. I managed to brick a computer on our six-week-old Odyssey in a way that totally should not be Honda’s warranty problem (not defect in design or materials or etc). Could have played dumb, sent the mechanics on a wild goose...

ArabianOak did you remove the hose using tools, like screwdriver to pry off (razor blade to cut off, pliers to squeeze and twist, etc)? That can be a no-no as with (incorrect) tools you can scrape or deform the pipe the hose attaches to, inhibiting good seal. As for cost/labor for the coolant...

I'm also in Colorado. I get treated significantly better at my local Honda dealer than I have the several times I've tried to do business with Acura sales/service in the last decade. Plus with there being more Honda dealers, there is one near me. ~5 minute drive, free shuttle back home if I...

To be fair, a lot of those folks said they'd buy an NSX-R if it met their particular unrealistic criteria, like: All ICE (no electric motors), manual transmission, very light, for less than $100k. Since the impossible/unrealistic didn't happen, they'll have an excuse not to buy.

I’ve seen it online for sale at Mike Ward McLaren in Denver. You can find via Autotrader. Edit: Or maybe not. Don’t see it there anymore.

Yep, we were BHG (blown head gasket) buddies at that NSXPO. :rolleyes: For YEARS I chalked it up to NA1 engines having weak head gaskets...and now regret that in title of my post about head gaskets I blamed/shamed/named the gaskets as the NSX's "Achilles heel" - when all along it was probably...

I replaced my coolant bottle and cap with new in 2012 (from Acura of Peoria, aka oemacuraparts.com; a well-known / reputable / high-volume parts department). At NSXPO HPDE that same year I blew a head gasket. Afterwards my testing revealed the new cap and new bottle (together) were not holding...

I'm late to the party. What does total cost look like? Kit is $230. How much effort/cost to swap the kit components in? (And how much effort to remove rack?) I like idea of faster ratio but my rack is still very good/tight/like-new, so I'm not otherwise considering any maintenance of it (so all...

Yah. Seems like a weird thing to say about a supercar, but the NSX (old and new) are supposed to stretch the supercar into everyday territory. This would align with that. And like any Honda/Acura with the HondaSensing/AcuraWatch you can probably get decent steering stuff (like the PilotAssist2...

I stand corrected also. Interesting tidbit.

Factory finish on the heads/block is more than sufficient for MLS. Only machine the heads or block if warped (mine were not). And I would agree about not replacing the HG except for failure...only occurred as a transient thought when I remembered how far you have to get for LMA (cams and rockers...

:eek:

https://www.achillesmotorsports.com/Achilles-Motorsports-Dry-Sump-Kit-BMW-S54-p/11-am-dsks54.htm So, not cheap...but not super crazy either. Sounds pretty good. Will it have some kind of pressure relief valve (to let air into the engine) to ensure the vacuum pressure stays relatively mild...

Wanted to resurrect this old thread to go kind of off-topic ask this question (related to a problem I had and so have become fixated on): If you already have the engine out for all of this work (timing belt, water pump, LMAs, cam plugs & seals, and coolant hoses) - do you ever also do the head...

Yah, not interested in the front drop spindles. Dry sump idea seems interesting. Am I correct to assume the point is to eliminate the potential for oil starvation from sustained cornering as well as eliminate the weak link (oil pump gear) in a money-shift? So this would compete with one or more...

How does "in line with most other dry sump systems with billet oil pans" convert to USD?

Another item to be aware of or maintain are the fuel hoses. Several of us have had issues with the original braided stainless lines failing. http://www.nsxprime.com/forum/showth...-Hose-Blows-Up

At one point CT sold a kit to replace the elbow aka bypass hose with an aluminum one. Not sure if still available. But a good long-term fix. Parts: Installed:
