Don't Walnut blast your N54 and do this instead for cheap.
E90 Will be going thru major surgery in the next couple of days so stay tuned!!!
I hope the potato didnt disappoint!!!
I did my intake valves a few months ago. I used the CRC GDI intake valve cleaner, and the cleaning went way faster than using brake cleaner. Dutch regards, Nico.
How many did you use?
@@jorn2k Just 1. But when there's extreme build-up, I think you'll need 2.
Did you take manifold off, or did it while car was running?
@@dextershumba7262 Hi. The manifold off. Other ways don't work because the carbon is hard and has many ' layers'. Cheers Nico.
i used valve cleaner, pick, and also a long small wire brush attachment for my drill, careful of small wire coming off, also used a small air tip for filling inner tubes on the end of my small shop vac to get all the debris. anything you can get on you shop vac to get down in there is good i ghetto rigged an old fish tank tube with that air tip on it and taped it to my shop vac lol
Home Depot sells hose attachments that are small enough to get into the valve "chamber". I used Berryman's Chemtool to soak the valves and that worked pretty well with picks and brass brushes.
Nicely done.. I think I’ll give that a try and do it myself. Might as well do it when I change out the alternator.
I've owned my n54 since '07 and always do this with the car on. I do it before every oil change. Never had any issues besides occasionally fouling a spark plug or 2. I burst spray in the the vacuum hose to the bov and in the inlets aswell to clean inlets and outlets. Replaced the turbos and shop asked if I've get my valves walnut blasted they were so clean. When I went with catless dps the stocks after 10yrs looked brand new running this through with the car on.
I've had my 11 n52 since 4 month's ago
@@pradasupremegucci624 cool story
@@kennypowers4330 I know right! And it has the rare 6 speed manual transmission
@@pradasupremegucci624 lol. Nothing rare about n52.
It’s rare when it’s in a n54.
Bro, I totally know the hamstring leg cramp from bending over the hood and especially comes on when removing the intake manifold lol! This is hilarious.
As soon as you said Florida I was like no way. I saw your ride on the road. Shits nice man
Damn my G! Great video as I'm over here in Maryland only to find out no shops in Washington, DC or outside the Washington, DC Area does Walnut Blasting - contrast to nearly all shops in Southern California. Like the only thing they offer is BG Servicing which isn't ideal for our valves. However, right now I will put this on hold due to replacing my serpentine that got ate up today with ultra-shredded rubber strings being lodged in my alternator - right after I removed my GTR Injectors in my Infiniti Build like Nitish21 in Canada. Smh. This is why we can't have nice things.
That said, if I do decide to relocate to Florida for work we should defo link up. Simply because we rep the N54 Gang whether your single turbo or upgraded twins and other goodies.
Adding Port Injection dual purpose clean intake valves an added smiles 🤣
Wow. Camera dudes voice is EPIC! He sounds like the friendly Giant. LOL. (No Blasphemy intended). Or he reminds me of an old friend I once had who played drums for my band. He was epic and we kicked him out because we were hypocrites about drugs.
yeah you can just take the charge pipe off and move the intake backwards and it gives you enough room to get in there.
Personally I just use a fuel induction cleaning system so I don’t have to disassemble everything, just plug it in one of your vacuum lines in the intake/chargepipe :)
E61 nut here. Cure your cramps w a spoon of mustard seriously. Your videos rock my ambition to do my maintenance w noted cautions thanks
I did mines with CRC intake valve cleaner . Pretty good results too . It just take more time and you have to do the work . BTW what kind of clutch you got in ?
Clutch masters 725 twin disk
60's in Florida = Hoodies and sweatpants
60's up here in Massachusetts = Shorts and tank tops 🤣
Hey dude!! So your still running the v5 e40 OTS with the stock map sensor right? Can you post or send a link to a log from a full pull?? Or maybe install a mechanical boost gauge and watch the boost? What are your AFRs and HPFP numbers at full boost? We have run the same setup resulting in BIG BIG power on DI only but based on the power level it’s probably over boosting to 26+ psi. Any way you can check??
21 psi at peak boost and 11s as far as AFR, LPFP is at 65psi, i gotta upgrade my low pressure pump and then ill do a log again
Do you log your pulls?
P.S. love getting to watching the E90 drive from the inside 🔥
Not all of the pulls but yes i do log from time to time
12:49 Yes. Yes it is most certainly "Wowooweewah". No doubt about it.
I solved the walnut problem by getting into the n52 car. JESSS! 😱 Now I have spare money for door dash. 🤔
What is on your I drive screen? You got some kinda fancy ish set up?
What shifter is that, cooler worx? What clutch you running? I’m in the market for a new clutch, LUK clutch and flywheel is what I think I’m going to get

Great content. I love the sound of your car
Love the toque specs
One brap or two braps?
I assume you turned the engine over by hand to close the valves in the cylinder you're cleaning??
Jump the starter with a power probe, less work 😂

Is this stage 2 fuel pump worth it?
Genuine Walbro 450LPH High Performance Fuel Pump +Kit F90000267 E85 NEW TIA485-2
Trying to see if updating LPFP, worth the savings.... I have an extra pump to add this to.
try using an engine brush kit and a bottle pump with tubing to suck out the gunk.
Damn that e39 is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I’m gonna do the oil filter housing soon so I might just clean the valves since imma be there already
If you get too aggressive while cleaning is it possible to bend a valve using this method? I cleaned two of my valves and put lots of pressure without taking into consideration these can bend 😅
Wouldnt worry about bending valves, unless you are you using a hammer 😂
my car runs on maxxecu with an n53 head that has the di plugged, the port injection only is way better, its like a honda now in terms of reliability. literally.
Saw your wheels for sale on fb marketplace what kinda wheels you looking to put on the car now ??
Will have a video soon on that
How are the china spoolybois holding up?
Still good, no leaks, no smoke
i thought this was the cheap 17t setup... what are those intakes leading to?? did I miss a video on new turbos?
They are 17ts
Nice! Would you say this works for the E90 N55 engine as well?
N55s dont need this service because the pcv system is way better than n54
@@SwapDepot Damn sorry but just to be on the safe side its basically never?
Ive never done a N55 walnut blasting, i had multiple cars come in asking for walnut blasting for N55 and i took the manifolds off and they had nothing in there, i didn’t want to charge ppl for something i didnt do
Would using a catch can on the pcv system help this problem?
Catch can does help but mostly for the blow by not the carbon build up
I clean my intake valves every day. I use port injection with e85. 😂
Thats one way to do that 😂
Does running water/meth injection clean and keep clean the valves?
Not sure about that one
In Cali all the places I've checked and heard about charge 600+ for a cleaning and now its 400 in florida?
400-500$ depending on the shop
Btw if its cook it dsnt take 4h . Iam at my 6h and i did half of the work . 4 cylinder diesel
Hello, I’ve been working on this for my car all day. I’ve went through 2 bottles so far of the carbon cleaner. The walls are all clean but there is still tons of gunk on the valves head. Do you have any tips for getting at the actual valve carbon build up? Even if I spray it down with cleaner and try to pick it it’s still like sludge on the valve and I can’t get it out. Much help would be appreciated thanks
Just leave the brake clean in there for couple of hours and try again
Are those headlight brows?
Where did you wrap your car
I see potato, i click
Just use GM upper engine cleaner; much cleaner, faster, and cheaper!!!
Someone help me so whenever I shift and hit 3000 rpm's my car starts to stutter/hesitate I have new coils and plugs and I ran the code reader and mhd and I Carly and says nothings wrong with the vehicle I can't seem to figure out why it does that
Its your plugs. Get 2 step colder gapped at 0.018”
It's not a hard job to do, just very time consuming. Last did this about 6 years and never would do it again, plus here in SoCal walnut blasting is around $250.
$250? 🤯 they want $600-800 in the bay area
5 months ago maybe 20$ present day. 1 can of brake clean like 8$. Looked like 4 cans plus the gdi like 15$. Call it 60$ in this economy.
What’s your E40 Mix? How much e85 and 91?
Yea e40
5 gallons of e85 and rest 93
Appreciate it
Would using a catch can on the pcv system help with this?
Yip definately
Do you have to replace the bolts after removing the manifold?
No
Where’d you get the shifter and infotainment with apple CarPlay?
Coolerworx shifter, idrive is garbage i wouldnt buy it, i got screwed over
@@SwapDepot it's not an xtrons is it??
Nope
@@SwapDepot good, just bought one haha. So did you just jump the starter to close the other valves?
Yea
Can you move your bov left to right easily or it’s still
Shouldnt move
How do you open or close the valves?.
Crank the engine over

Hey man it would be cool to see you install a water meth kit to keep those clean
Where’s the e36 ???? 🔥
What intakes do you have

Sweet potato
Not a sweet potato kind of guy, i like regular potatoes
@@SwapDepot so the pointy ones?
Not pointy, more like girthy round ones 😂
Potato vibes
I'll save you the long story as to how I found this out,, but all you need is dry air in a can, I got 1 from PC world it's used to clean computer keyboards,, it comes with a straw put the straw down the port and spray,, I do not know what gos on but the port and valve's are left spotless like brand new, it is dry air but if you spray lots down the hole it form a puddle with evaporates in less then a second, it crackles and pops a little bit but absolutely spotless, I was ready with the wifes hoover but was just no need,,,, I swear it works like magic and for the price of a can it's worth you trying,,, I had a audi a4 4.2 v8,
Ill try it on my spare motor
@@SwapDepot well worth it, it leaves it looking brand new, like I said dont be shy with it spray lots,, it's like magic, I could not tell you what happens to the dirt but it leaves it spotless,, like new,,,,, and £10 not £400 that the garage said had I wanted done that's what he would of charged
@@SwapDepot Maybe the freezing cold air that the can produces acts like dry ice and removes the carbon, which in turn flows out the exhaust hmmmm
Hell no I did that method and it more than 5 hours I just bought all the material and blasted it myself it was fast and easy
That throttle body looks pretty dirty man. Should probly clean that.
Can you post something
We want more e36
My e36 is gone dude
yeah didn't Cristian buy it or something lol
JESsss….👌🏻
360p?
yum
cheap but the amount of time and effort it takes is ridiculous lmao
Potato
Jesss

With what?
Why not just walnut blast it
Cuz this is cheaper 🤷♂️
Use walnut blast!!
Any car
We baking this or what? Add butter please #f30life

The way he tighten that intake you can tell this dude is not a real mexhanic 🤦🏻♂️
Didnt know that im supposed to tighten a intake manifold certain way, crazy how the car still hit target boost woooow
