TGPilot Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 Dawn dish soap works wonders for hiding oil stains in the house from moms and wives!! Also use the same to clean your stuff. Honestly you only need to worry about how much oil is at the bottom of your intercooler. What coating that may be on the inside of your charge piping will go away with time. You may want to pull your intercooler and give it a brake cleaner bath inside. If it is heavily coated or you have a puddle at the bottom it will not allow the intercooler to work very well. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prospeeder Posted November 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 theres no oil in the Intercooler, i looked, theres no puddle at the bottom, no oil trails, none at the top either, wierd! Mabye its all hidden inside, lol, is it basicly some bolts and the IC comes right out? might be a spring project, just fill er up with paint thinner or brake cleaner and let it sit for awile then flush it out? And possibly that Fin mod, does that even help at all tho? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gp90se Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 Dawn will clean the couplers and pipes no problem without damanging anything. best thing you can do for the I/C is fill it with berrymans cleaner (shit that comes in the paint bucket for $20, for a few hours, then soak the outside of the i/c in the same shit. wash it with water when done. it will pull the oil out from the inside and pull the paint off the outside so it will cool better.

And with the TB, wich mine needs cleaned BAD, what sensors are in it that definatly need to come out? IAC, what else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gp90se Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 autozone in some places carry it, it looks like a bucket of paint, its carb cleaner made by berrymans. TB needs the IAC and TPS need to come off, but I take the coolant passage off the bottom of the TB and do the TB bypass mod. Then take the 6 hex heads off the top, gentally remove the gasket and soak everything (minus the gasket) for a few hours. brush it all clean, soak it some more, wash it with water. Resemble and bolt it back on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TurboSedan Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 new TB gasket set is available at NAPA. i forgot what mine cost but it was cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGPilot Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Also while you have the TB off...do the oil pump shaft O-ring. That is cheap also and real easy to do with the TB off. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
