CRC Carbie Cleaner removes the TOMEI Throttle Coat pretty well.

Tried using it to soften, not sure it will leave the surface OK.

Took a lot of scrubbing to get the throttles completely closing.

Any suggestions/recommendations on how to apply the throttle coat CORRECTLY would be greatly appreciated. The brush in the can is too big.

TOMEI replies to my query: Looks like clean adn try again. Im going to use a small paintbrush than the one supplied in the can. Too hard to control.

Note also that you close it to let it dry.

Dear John,

It sounds like you've used too much.

Depending on how you have applied it, might be best to remove it and start

again.

You only need to apply it on the edges, where the shaft makes contact with

the wall. Then on the butterfly rim edge itself, where it touches the wall,

the outer part mainly.

Go to the bottom of this page to see examples

to remove it, you can use paint thinner or acetone solution (or similar).

I used an artist paintbrush rather than the one in the can, much easier to be precise. Throttles seal and they are now on the bump stop.

not as neat as i would like but seems to be doing the job.

MORALE: DONT CLEAN THROTTLE BODY, EVER :3some:

I used the brush supplied and held the butterfly's opens while they dried

Once installed the accelerator was very not by but after afew days of driving it "wore in" and is now smooth as silk

Not to mention a perfect stable idle :)

Goodluck

Where are you fellas getting the Tomei Throttle seal from?

Quick look on eBay/google yielded no results for aussie sellers...

That said i just cleaned my throttle bodies while doing my head gasket...doh >_<

Will cleaning the throttles affect anything else besides idle? I cleaned mine a couple of years ago when I built my motor as I thought it was carbon build up and now my car idles at 2000rpm. That doesn't really bother me though.

Did you clean and redo the AAC valve? There is an idle adjustment screw there, plus the rebuild procedure which will also help get the idle right. I have heard of similar high idles with cleaned throttles.

If i were you I'd take the plenum off, do the throttle body goo repair, recondition the AAC valve and replace the gaskets.

If you think you have a vauumc leak, spray "Start yer Bastard" around the usual suspects. if the idle goes up, you found the leak.

If you used paper (or old) gaskets around the throttle bodies, I'd start there first.....

The engine has just been built again by a mate this time though so i'm not too sure if he's touched the aac valve. The plenum is off atm so I can replace some heater hoses so I might just have to get some of that goo for the throttle bodies.

Gaskets are new metal ones.

Hi,

I've giving my throttle bodies a good scrubbing too :P I shall be re-sealing and re-setting the throttle bodies as per the steps outlined above.

However, I do have a question....what do you guys do about the sealing around the butterfly shaft / spindle itself? I take it you just try to get either some moly grease into the tiny gap or a bit of the RTV silicon to cut down the gap in there?

Thanks!

Tom

      Already looked at a few prior to getting the MX5, really nice car, had all the mod cons, but I wasn't really sold on the new "look" I did miss my 2017 Limited, and I personally prefer the "look" of the older car over the new model, but, when pondering I kept going back looking at MX5's But it was same same for the new ND's, I wasn't sold on the new "look", especially the RF with its weird roof, which only half goes down, like a targa top sort of thing As I stated before, I did look at NC's, but the cars I looked at were PRHT's, but I didn't like their roof line "look" of the PRHT, until I saw the soft top version, (someone on SAU posted a for sale ad for one with a soft top that caught my attention, you can blame them for my choice.....🤣) and.... that old style detachable hard tops were available for them, which keeps the old MX5 more smoother flowing roof line, and the more rounded body style, similar to the NA-NB, to me, the arse end of the ND looks to "modern" Much like how I prefer the NC1 front bar, over the later models How long will I keep this car for is unknown, but currently, there's nothing else out there that "floats my boat" for a small, fun, little "sports car", that I can play with and enjoy looking at and driving But, who knows what the future holds, and going off current new car styling, if I replace it, it will be a older model something something

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
