The TH body. One of the worst condition that I have ever seen.
It’s not easy to take good photo when it was covered in black colour but there were so much gunk built up at the edge of the TH butterfly that there was a wall consists of blowby gunk.
The area around idle air port was also covered in gunk and I had no confidence in cleaning the internal section so decided to remove the idle air screw completely.
Good decision as the chamber was full of black carbon with sticky debris as well.
I don’t like re-using the screw once removed so going to replace it.
After cleaning it, finally the silver surface emerged.
Should be cleaned once a year or two.
Not much to report while removing all of these coolant hoses. 23 in total for non-DBW MT model.
Time consuming and not enjoyable task as it makes the garage floor wet even after draining the coolant.
New Koyo Racing rad to be installed. For a while, it was out of stock in US but now it’s back in stock.
I actually bought two a while ago.
Will rinse it first before the installation.
I need to replace the CL Hyd sys in parallel but I hope I can return this NSX to the owner on Sunday afternoon.
