NSX thermostat = Legend thermostat?

[wyuen]

So, many members kindly suggested me to change my thermostat and Honda Coolant because my engine takes forever to heat up to optimal level. Called up Acura and they said they have T-stat in stock since it's the SAME as Legend's

Myth or Truth, I wanna trust Acura, but want to get a second opinion. Thanks

When I ordered my thermostat, it was P/N 19301-P8E-A10. It's listed on the site (AcuraOEMparts.com is what I used) for the following models:

• 97 - 03 CL
• 91 - 95 LEGEND
• 01 - 11 MDX
• 91 - 05 NSX
• 96 - 11 RL
• 96 - 11 TL
• 10 - 11 TSX
• 10 - 11 ZDX

I wouldn't stress about it being a shared component. There's nothing magical about a thermostat. Oh, I guess it's worth mentioning that I had the same symptoms as you. The new thermostat did the trick.

THANKS Prime. You guys are AWESOME. T-stat problem [spring broken], easy fix

But it did amount to $300 @ Acura -_-
$ 220 [2 hr labour] + $60 [T-stat] + $20 [coolant.]

But u know what, I'm ok with that knowing my baby runs well now

3 bolts for the airbox, 2 bolts for the T-Stat housing. Took less than 10 min.
