    What a dirty air filter…. Due to the camera’s flash, the photo doesn’t show you the true state of the filter but I couldn’t see through anything with this dirty one.


    Replaced with the new OEM one.

    I don’t like to see dirty engine so dressed the engine and engine bay as the final touch.

  2. TH Butterfly Cleaning, TH Cable adjust

    by , 28-06-2011 at 11:37 PM (Today at Atelier Kaz - ex-Honda R&D, F1, Indy/CART engineer)



    Before warming up the engine for the compression check, decided to clean the TH butterfly as it requires the engine to be cold.


    As in the previous post, the TH body was full of black gunk and also the idle rpm was not stable.


    Sprayed the TH cleaner several times and then fired up the engine to warm it up.

  3. Fuel Filter

    So, decided to work on the Fuel Filter.


    Also my local Honda phoned me that the JDM spec wipers that were back ordered until August magically arrived so went to collect them.

  4. Throttle Butterfly Cleaning

    by , 20-05-2011 at 11:02 PM (Today at Atelier Kaz - ex-Honda R&D, F1, Indy/CART engineer)



    Before warming up the engine in preparation for the compression check after TB service, started to clean the TH butterfly while the engine was cold.


    This NSX is DBW so there is no EACV, dashpot, etc.


    From time to time, on DBW model, you may need to adjust the idle rpm based on the specific procedure after cleaning the TH butterfly.

  5. TB/WP/Valve 03 – Brake Line issue

    by , 31-03-2011 at 11:27 AM (Today at Atelier Kaz - ex-Honda R&D, F1, Indy/CART engineer)

    While preparing the car to drain the coolant, I noticed that the brake line at the rear was very close to the sway (anti-roll) bar even at the full droop position.


    So, although it's going to slow me down, decided to put the tyres back on again and bounced the car a few times to settle the suspension and looked at the brake lines.
