Nuffin’ new

Been doing it for years in WA

Just drivin’ ‘round with no airfilter

The sand will do the job for you

Don’t have to buy nuffin’

Save money on airfilters

:O cheers :(

Thats Bullshit mate....

you can't use sand to port and polish your motor.. you can actually damage your engine doing this. ANY ONE READING THIS DO NOT TRY IT AS IT WILL DAMAGE YOUR ENGINE!!!!....

if your mate knew what he was talking about he would know you need to use a type of fortified wine commonly known as "PORT' for a propper job, you mix it 50/50 with petrol when you fill up. It's expensive but its how the pro's do it...

Not reccomended on the street as it adds lost of those octaine's and increases how much pounds you are running. My mate runs 10s in his VL with stock turbo and 93pounds boost and 8" exhaust

youse are all missing the point an' doin it the hard way. lissen to tha experts an buy wun of my kits off of ebay. fully sik, chromed port and polishing machines. can use gravel too, valves crush it and it gives ya a new valve job at tha same time. buy it now for $800, garunteed 120rwkw gain or refund. think it ova...

The HKS sand is good, but my tuner recommends the Tomei sand which has an additive that breaks down in the combustion chamber and ceramic coats the pistons. It still ports and polishes the head as well which makes it better value at only $300 for 25kg - much cheaper than a rebuild with forgies.

I've also heard on the rumour mill that adding icing sugar (not regular sugar) to a tank of fuel can increase injector flow as the tiny granuals pass through the injectors and have an abrasive effect. Seems feasable and I was told it you only need a pound of sugar to increase to 550cc of flow.

Not only this the sugar apparently increases octane just like the CSR ethanol fuel additive.

Can someone support this?

Ha ha ha awesome thread!!

Just a quick tip for anyone wanting a great CAI. Simply remove that annoying little spring lookin thing from your AFM (cant do anything important) and jam it full of snow. Chills the air and will even give everything a nice clean to boot!

Norkam Beach Sand. Seriously guys, That's just old school.

At BBU engineering solutions, we look for the finest alternative to port an polishing.

First, we drink the port. We find this makes the job much better, then we get you, the car owner to drink a lot more port, so you'll always be happy when we give your car back to you (or one of my old ones if your car looks better than mine)

First, we select only the most rounded grains of sand. We have teams of specially trained mongooses (mongeese?) who are bred for their ability to recognise small round objects. We start them with marbles and work them down to grains the thickness of a human hair. Those that get it wrong starve, thus ensuring quality control for you, the customer.

We also add almodns crushed into a fine powder by the feet of mediteranian virgins to the mix, for than sweet almond oil scent that most engines are missing, but at BBU, it's this attention to detail that dets us far apart from other workshops.

Now, we have heard that some port and polishers out there do dodgy back yard jobs, putting the sand in through the air filter, or the oil cap. WRONG! think about it, all that sand going out the exhaust? It's only meant for gas!

Unlike these shonky backyard operators, BBU puts the sand INTO the exhaust pipe!

Yes, this revolutionary technique means that you can clean every nook and cranny of the engine! Here's how:

We load up a huge funnel and fill it with our mongoose selected sand. Occasionally bits of mongoose poo get into there, but that's OK, as it's organic material, and as we all know, organic material under heat and pressure makes oil, and your engine works on heat and pressure, so not only will the mongoose sand polish the engine, but the mongoose poo will grease and oil it up too!

Afte the funnel is attached, we start the car. Now, simple logic states that putting it in first and revving the engine will make the air go through the engine and out the exhaust. Since we want the reverse, we obviously put it in reverse.

This is where it can go wrong. Last month a mongoose got away and took off the handbreak, while our skilled technician was revving the engine and making BOV noises (an important part of the process) as a result, we ran over several skilled sand feeder executives, and a lemur that happened to be near by. Now we chock the wheels with bull elephant seals, avoiding further injury.

After this process, the sand is extruded from many points in the engine bay, such as the turbo, the oil cap, the dip stick, and the pod. We suggest that paople keep this sand and take it with them, otherwise our mongooses have been known to think that people do not appreciate their expertise, and they lapse into depression and start heavy drinking of llama urine (A specialty drink of choice four our exec mongeese) and watch porn on discovery channel.

After all this, we give you more port and send you on your merry way.

You may have noticed our intense commitment to a 'green' workshop, we use animals and starving childeren where possible to avoid pollutants and excessive costs (such as 'wages') We do this to pass the savings on to you, and any suggestion that some of the animals may or may not have been fired from 'meerkat manor' for sleeping with the production assistant are fallacious and distortions of the highest order.

After the procedure, we guarantee that you'll notice a dramatic difference in the way your car handles. So much so, that none of our customers vehicles have subsequently been involved in accidents on the road!

So please drop into our workshop at 444 shi-ite drive. we're next to the RSPCA. there are no markings on the door, so just knock 3 times, ring the bell and say loudly "I once met a man from nantucket, who'se head was shaped like a bucket.!" and we'll let you in. We have all this security to protect our patented port and polish process form people who have been trying to steal it.

Anyway, we expect to see you soon.

    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
