If you clicked, you are the real mvp lol 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.
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.
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.
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 :)
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.
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.
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.
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??
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 ?
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.
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.
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
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 😅
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.
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
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
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,
@@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
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
