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.

    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
    • Thanks for the quick reply. To be clear, when you say turbo shuffle do you mean turbo flutter "stustustu" or referring to something else? I had thought they were the same thing. When I wrote the post my intention was to say it wasn't a flutter/compression surge sound. My understanding was that a flutter sound would be occurring when throttle is released, whereas I can keep the throttle in the same position for this noise
    • Hi everyone, I've been wrestling with this for a while now and have been trying to find out the cause. For context, the turbos used are Garrett 2860 -5s, the BOV is a BNR32 HKS SSQV IV kit, the car is currently tuned to ~470 whp on 17.5 psi. The car drives normally, pulls well when it doesn't happen, and I can replicate it fairly easily. It does not sound like turbo shuffle or flutter. The engine has only a thousand or so miles and has had this behavior since it was completed. After my engine was built for my R32 GTR, I noticed that the car now sometimes makes an air discharge sound on what appears to be positive boost pressure that sounds really similar to a BOV. I had thought that it was a BOV issue but even when replacing it with a brand new unit, the sound persisted. It seems like it's coming from the passenger side but I may be mistaken. The closest scenario I could find was this post here https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/ started by @yakshii and it sounds very similar. As in, at partial throttle once I reach positive boost I begin to hear the same psh psh psh psh psh sound like air is leaking somewhere when I keep the throttle in the same position. It most commonly happens in 4th gear at around 3-3.5k RPM and 5th gear around 2.5-3k RPM, which seems to coincide with normal positive boost thresholds. It might be similar to what @Austrian GTR mentioned about his own HKS SSQV. Notable difference would be that when he applies more throttle when it happens, it stops. In my scenario if I apply more throttle during this repeated psh psh psh sound, the cadence of the sound gets faster and louder rather than stopping. If I lift off slightly and apply throttle again, it will normally stop and pull without issue. I've checked all rubber couplers to ensure that they are tight, but have not gotten the opportunity to properly do a pressurized boost leak test. If anyone has had similar experiences or thoughts on what might be the cause, I'd be very keen to hear them. I also have a video of it happening from inside the cabin, if that would make it easier to understand: https://youtu.be/2zqZXcx8jbA
