    so a good thing to mention is the different types of equipment that can be used not just what your using and what the specs of the equipment should be for best results of preforming the job.

    I love that wood smell you get after firing up the engine after carbon blast. Then the panic on the first timers face when it runs like shit for the first few minutes.

      LOL, always fun on that first start up! We did have a no start after we did a blast on a Tiquan, 3 coils died on start up:(

  • @cometcal2
    @cometcal2 2 года назад +1

    I would guess the most labor intensive part of the job is the prep. You got to remove the intake manifold / connectors, clean the throttle body, and put everything back together - correctly. Some intake manifolds are a lot of trouble to remove.

    I'm wondering if a wet nitrous system would help..... Just a mild 50 25 horsepower gain.... the fuel would wash the intake valves...

    I'm using a Rubber hose with a 90 degree, with two dog ear relief cuts into the end of the hose.. so it collapses into the intake port.. a HOLE drilled into the hose so I can use the "Wand".. that tool simply isnt required.

    He seems to not really like Harbor Freight. I don’t like Wal-Mart. But both of those stores are very similar. Cheap imported stuff that people buy to save money and also convenience. Just saying-these stores exist as a result of control capitalism that is happening right in front of our faces. If you shop at Wal-Mart, don’t feel justified to have disdain to Harbor Freight!

    FIND A WAY TO FEED FINE WALNUT SHELLS INTO INTAKE VAC SOURCE WITH CAR RUNNING, COULD THEN CLEAN VALVES AS YOU DRIVE THUS BURNING THE SHELLS, ALTERNATIVE FUEL SHOULD EVEN INCREASE MPG OF CAR. COURSE IT WOULD CAUSE A BIT OF A WOOD SMOKE SMELL AND MAY PISS OFF EPA.

      Thanks - after recovering from sticker shock -- $1,000 price tag the Audi mechanic quoted for carbon cleaning, looking for the best way to remove the deposits. Let me know if you'll be posting a 2.0L VW or Audi intake manifold removal, walnut blasting

    That's the video you should do! You don't have to show disassembly or anything,just 7-8 minutes of the actual cleaning. I'm sure it would get tons of views,I am not aware of such video on RUclips.

    • @onenikkione
      @onenikkione 5 лет назад

      can make one using a radiator hose. measure the I.D. of the intake and go to auto parts shop (when they're not busy) and find a hose that will snug fit into the intake and then drill a hole for the walnut-blast tip, then secure the shop-vac hose to the other end and go at it (save yourself approx. $80)

      Oil vapors, no egr in the intake

    • @ozzyo6733
      @ozzyo6733 7 лет назад

      An oil catch can would be a perfect thing for these DI engines, yes?

    • @flatratemaster
      @flatratemaster  7 лет назад

      Yes a catch can would prevent a lot of these issues

    @ro-longo3697 7 лет назад +5

    I made one of those exact walnut blasters using the harbor freight blaster and media, cost a total of 100 USD. And for the part that goes into the intake I use different size heater hoses or scrap radiator hoses and adapt them to the vacuum.

    • @flatratemaster

      Can't say I have but possible if really bad and they kept driving it

    • @ColeTanner88
      @ColeTanner88 6 лет назад

      Flat Rate Master I had a 2012 I believe if was, ford edge with direct injection that was throwing a p0171. All data pids were normal except fuel trims were maxed. O2 responded well to lean/rich conditions, map was okay, fuel sample came out okay, smoke the intake, no vacuum leaks, crimped off pcv/vacuum hoses one at a time, no change. Everything appeared normal except fuel trims. Found a forum with a guy that had the same problem and it ended up being carbon on the intake valves

    • @phiksit

      Probably 20 cfm bare minimum for a small commercial shop if your running a blaster.

    • @phonkyfeel1
      @phonkyfeel1 Год назад +1

      Since no one else is replying…I have heard that meth injection is fantastic for direct injection engines….but if you run a meth set up in your car-- YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE that you have some way to know when your methanol is running out. Look into that.

    • @flatratemaster

      I have seen it on VWs with as little as 40k to over 100k, all depends on how the car is driven and how the crankcase system is maintained
