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...

Thats how we all dyno at 250rwkws with only a muffler change bov and a pod

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.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
