I dont think those would suffice with mine even with the walnut blast alone it took me hours. Once i made the decision of using cleaner it was a game changer for me

From what i saw in the forums 50-60k and i totally agree mine was pretty brutal at 100k
Im definitely not waiting another 100k!

Welded up a whack of holes in the Escort firewall, and checked that item off the list. Planned on doing more, but so far that hasn't happened...

Can someone explain in a nutshell...



What walnut blasting is, and why when I look it up it's only on BMW's? Is this something anyone should consider for their cars?

I get that somehow you're using the shell bits to remove the gunk, but somehow you shoot it at the valves, and it doesn't get into the cylinders? How do you avoid a mess?

This is typically only required on cars with direct injection. With DI, fuel does not wash over the intake valves, so there can be carbon build up. This process is pretty common on the Mazda, Audi/VW, BMW DI platforms. Port injection cars typically don't need to do this.

You need to have some kind of sealed adapter so you can blast with the media gun but still have a shopvac suck up the media. The crank needs to be turned so that the valves are closed.

When I had mine done, we used an old radiator hose, drilled a hole for the blaster and used a shopvac on the other end.


I don't know about you guys, but I did some Vdyno 4th gear plots before and after and didn't get any gains at all. Car drove the same, compression test before/after the same, vaccum readings the same. I run methanol injection, EGR delete and an OCC, so perhaps that may have helped with reducing carbon build up. Some of the pics of Audi/VW's look nasty.

The MK1 Escort rally car has the rear suspension changed from leaf springs to a 4-bar linkage with coil-overs. The four bar link boxes hang down below the car in a way which makes them perfect targets on rallies for rocks and other damage:


So, using all the skills taught to me in kindergarten I made some shapes...and welded them together.


Then attached them to the car.


The motor is trans were then put back in, and I started brainstorming the custom transmission mount I need to make. Also need to add some gussets to the car, so I cut out some crazy shapes from some steel, and will take them over to a buddies for bending before welding them in. Warwick (car owner) sorted out the shape/style for the transmission tunnel and made me a bristol-board mock-up of what he'd like to see. 10 days(?) until it supposedly leaves for the paint shop. Right.

Monday's plan? Whistler for a day of skiing :P

Transmission mount on the Escort project is now complete. Didn't want to buy 20ft of tubing just to make the bushing mounts, so instead I cut down and bored out a 2.25" solid bar on the lathe into the size I needed.

Here's about 1/2 way into the machining of the first piece:


That's either a really cool new skateboard truck, or the beginnings of the mount. Bushings and my now completed custom tubing.


A bit of milling machine work, more welding and a few seconds with the arbor press later.


Everyone likes going back to grade 1 art class, on their back, under a car...


Plates and ears tacked into place. Following this photo, I cut the plates off the car and welded the ears to the plates on the bench.


Then bolted the plates back up, and welded them to the car where I could reach.


So now the engine and transmission can come out once again, so that I can weld all the way around the mounting plates.

Have you thought about leaving the upper portion of your grille chrome or paint it white to match the hood? I've seen some TL guys leave it, some paint/wrap it black.

I love that neochrome decal
