An intake snorkle is a good idea anyway as it ensures the airbox only takes air from outside the engine bay. In my case I bought a new MAP sensor and it was fine again, while others have cured it with intake snorkels and cooling mods. I have some logs from my PLX when the car was kangerooing and there was basically no fuel going in, and some very screwy readings from both sensors. The kangerooing I believe is to be ether IAT (intake air temp) or MAP (manifold absolute pressure) heatsoak. No car ive ever owned does it this bad, and the ECU should easily be able to cope with the flywheel weight. It has been said that the car will kangeroo becuase of the light flywheel - I dont subscribe to that view. You have been driving the car a while, you stop at a junction waiting to pull out, you see your chance, boot the throttle and not a lot happens Frustrating at best, dangerous at worst if you roll out in front of someone! One person (simon prelude) also had a seized aircon pulley which cause a bad idle on his ISCV / AIC (idle speed control valve) misbehaving Idle and hesitation / kangeroo problems can be caused by the following: If your problem persists or gets worse then read on.Īll this info is based on MY00-05 cars - the 06 has some differences in its setup which im not clued up on (drive by wire throttle etc) Your ECU has to cope with changing ambient temps and pressures, and can simply be adjusting. All I know is that after tweaking my clutch pushrod my pedal feels like stock.thank god.after driving an S with a supercharger and 6-puck at the beginning of the summer the last thing I wanted to do was ruin that.Idle / Hesitation / Kangerooing / Misfire ProblemsĪs idle / hesitation / kangerooing / misfire problems and misfires seem to be a common problem on the S2000, and indeed on most cars, I thought I would construct a thread to aid people in diagnosing their problems.Īside from an actual problems listed below, these type of problems can just be a passing phase.

SOS state that there's a third more clamping force but I really couldn't tell you for sure on that.

The friction disk from SOS is an Exedy OEM disc and the pressure plate is a slightly modified OEM piece as well. I have yet to notice much chatter with this flywheel though I have a single exit 70mm exhaust that might be drowning most of it out. The whole setup just feels much more responsive than anything.like how the AP1 is. You have to shift a little faster to rev match but it doesn't feel too rushed. Even though I went with the 8lbs flywheel I don't find the drivability is impacted negatively. If anyone is thinking of doing this in the future I used this DIY with some modifications to the process. I wrangled a friend into helping (with a payment including a couple two-fours and pizzas) and managed to get it done over the weekend I suggest you do the same.this isn't a job that I'd want to do alone.
#HONDA S2000 CLUTCH NO PRESSURE CRACK#
To get this thing in you have to take off the intake, header, propeller shaft, shifter, unbolt your starter, drop the front subframe and then play around with your jacks to try and get a good angle to crack your tranny case bolts. For any of you thinking of doing this on your own I'd recommend renting out a bay with a lift and tools as it makes it much easier. The installation was pretty straight forward but that's not to say it's easy. Wade from SOS was quick and knowledgeable with responses and helped get my parts to me the same week I ordered them. Need to take a moment here and mention that their customer service is pretty damn good. I decided on SOS for a number of reasons: they're Honda specialists, they're highly recommended, they're customer service is amazing and also I could save some money on shipping if I ordered all my parts from them versus OEM parts at one vendor, a PP from another and a flywheel from a third. I daily drive my S but also track it aggressively and am mostly interested in making it faster on the track so with that in mind I opted to go with as light as possible and grabbed an 8lbs flywheel. Commonly people will go with either a resurfaced AP1 flywheel or ~11lbs aftermarket flywheel so as not to sacrifice drivability for performance. While I dropped the engine out I figured I'd get in there and swap out the ridiculously heavy AP2 flywheel with something a little more responsive. Knowing that I wanted to keep my car NA I opted to go for a mostly OEM setup and the resounding choices for this were to go either with an ACT HD Pressure Plate or the SOS Pressure Plate. My clutch started going three weeks ago on my '07 so I figured it would be a good time for a little bit of an upgrade.
