*Soundfile* Taitec header goes NSX
I already heard of a few bad storys about changing out the header on NSX, cause it is a pain in the ass. I dunno what people have. of course there are sme parts you have to remove like rear engine mount with frame, left cat, etc. IMO it is a nice work, cause all the parts are easy to rich. Some oil on all of the exhaust bolts and carful removing them should prefent from breaking bolts. I also heard rumors people doing header removing on the floor just with jackstand?! I think that is BS.
I did that today in the afternoon:
- removing front engine mount (wow, could reach it with airwrech!)
- removing front engine frame
- removing bracket for shiftercable
- hang off rear traction bar
- removing cat for left exhaust
- removing rear bracket for traction bar
- removing rear pipe between cat and header
- removing heatshield on rear header
- removing rear header
- O2 sensor exchanging
- wrap in rear header with heat-bandage
- mounting rear Taitec header
- mounting pipe between header and kat (rear section)
- extending wire harness for O2 sensor
- removing pipe between header and kat at front header section
about 4 hours work
I have to do this tomorrow:
- removing heat shield on front header
- looening a/c compressor and hang it off abit
- removing front header
- O2 sensor exchanging
- wrap in rear header with heat-bandage
- mounting front Taitec header
- mounting pipe between cat and header (front section)
- extending wire harness for O2 sensor
- mounting cat for left exhaust
- mounting rear traction bar
- mounting bracket for traction bar
- mounting front engine frame
- mounting engine mount
- mounting bracket for shift-cable
I guess another 5 hours of work.
I needed about 9 hours total for the first time. I heard story of people doing all this in 3 hours.....is this a joke?. Only for the wraping I needed about 2 hours....those are 6 pipes with about 50cm each. I think w/o wraping it needs 5-6 hours to change out the headers, but only when you do not have troubles with old rusty exhaust bolts.
The rear engine frame is of aluminium too, damn it weight maybe only 2 kilos.
The oem header looks realy tiny compared to the nice Taitec one

But what and why the hell did you wrap around the header?
