Hello. I ran the inputs from the head units wire harness to the appropriate terminals on the vehicles connectors behind the radio (constant 12v and ground) and to the connector by the passengers footwell (switched 12v). I did not cut or solder, but rather tinned the ends of each wire and just back-probed them into the connectors terminal receptacles. It’s not as secure as using a tap or cutting/soldering, but it prevents any type of hacking of the factory wire harness. I did not want to cut the factory harness at all.

Hey Xavier I’m a follower of yours who owns the same car, a 2008 997 turbo, I have a loud rattle noise on cold start only for about 2-3 seconds then it goes away. You ever get that with your car? I’m a retired professional auto tech of 40 years. My guess is it’s the timing chain tensioners what’s your opinion? I love this car but now that I’m retired I can’t afford to have it repaired so I’ll try to fix it my self
@NSXavier9974 ай бұрын
Thanks for the follow. The symptom you describe is completely normal and has been documented on various 997 Turbo specific sub forums as a normal characteristic. I do experience the same, but only after long periods of the car sitting. It is very infrequent. People have tried to fix this problem but to my knowledge, have not posted any confirmed repairs. The symptom always seems to linger even after component replacement. If I had to scientifically guess what is causing the noise, I’m going to have to say that it is excessive tolerance in the cam sprocket gears and chain. The reason I theorize this to be the case is formed from first-hand experience. Honda/Acura has an engine (K24) that exhibits the same exact symptom and their repair is to replace the VTC actuator (intake cam sprocket) and tensioner. I have done this repair on many Honda and Acura vehicles and the noise does indeed go away thereafter. KZread search “K24 VTC rattle” and you’ll find many videos that show what I have described above. Although I can’t prove it until I actually put a repair into practice, but I’d be most confidently willing to bet that the cause for the rattle noise on startup on our MEZGER engines is caused by increased tolerance in the Cam sprocket and chain, and the first repair that I would try is to replace Bank 1 and Bank 2 intake cam sprockets (Variocam Actuators).

@NSXavier9975 ай бұрын
Oil consumption will continue. Eventually the excessive carbon build up will become severe enough to increase static compression ratio. This will result in very poor fuel economy and the engine exhibiting engine ping under load. Once the oil control rings completely seize, then the risk of cylinder bore scoring becomes an issue. When that happens then the cylinder(s) will be permanently damaged, and will cause a loss of compression & misfire. At that point it is too late and the short block will need to be replaced.

Though these might not be "street legal" as they don't have a DOT#, I would still trust these wheels over a knock-off replica wheel any day of the week.
@@NSXavier997 I’ve run these E88 on the 993 and currently run vintage magnesium E30’s and E50s on my 69 911. If you have the heavier 5mm thick halves it’s much better for the street, if you don’t see a speed bump, or hit a pothole. I’ll have to admit I am guilty of running the lightest halves which are 3mm. The forged aluminum E88 centers are plenty strong for the street. I think the DOTs problem is with the thin halves and with the attaching hardware. I once had some GT3 Motorsport wheels, which were street legal. They had larger diameter bolts, that had a locking sealant on them, and much thicker halves. I called BBS Motorsport department, and they said the wheels were street legal, until someone took them apart and modified them. Same with the vintage street RS wheels back in the day. I’m running 245 40 18 front and 275 35 18 rear on my 993 narrow body with widths of 8.5 front and 10.5 rear. It originally had 17” with 205 front and 255 rear

Hello, watched all of your videos. You are a very knowledgeable guy, I have a question for you. On these E88’s what are the offsets on them front and rear. I own a 2011 gts and just ordered a set of e07 with the 19x9 front et 48 and 19x12 et 36 rears. Now am concern with the rear offset it may rub. Thanks brother.
Thanks. GTS is widebody, no? If so, you should be fine with those offsets. The rear might rub a tiny bit if you're lowered. Just do an alignment and camber it more negative if you rub.
@@NSXavier997 thanks for the fast response. Yes am running b16 with gt3 rs size sway bars. And am not lowering it that much. Man yours looks sick brother. Thanks again. Happy holidays
Am also running 315 tires in the rear.
What is your et in the rear?? Thanks again.
What happened to all the Integra content? Videos are gone.
Acura corporate said he can’t make videos bc he works for them
Bro, what happened to the Acura videos? Did they come after you about it because you're a mechanic for them?
Yea basically

Can you recommend a good salesperson in your dealership please?
Dope, what Ohlins do you have and do they work with PASM... What's your take on Bilstein B16. How much harsher do ohlins ride compared to stock?
Good video! And Wow you’ve done a lot of things yourself. Congrats. I had a 996 turbo stick & now a 997 turbo Tiptronic. Do you ever pour some oil in the filter to fill the sump pump or pull fuel fuses to prime it before starting or no? And, do you have a DSC controller? I got one and it made a very nice change to the suspension. Oh, and any idea why my steering is so stiff I see you can turn the wheel with one hand & I can’t I have to grab the wheel or use two hands? Thx
Will that shift nop fit on the 11th gen civic si
