Guys, the below post was taken from a Mazda forum a guy at work is involved with. Surley this is a hoax?? Maybe not if there soft enough to be keen on standard Jap Cr@p!
Hey guys, I've got a 96 BA 1.8. I've had an induction kit, exhaust and
chip for a while and wanted to get more performance. I was recommended
to port and polish the intake and exhaust. We found out they used
abrasive material to do it like gritty sand. So I got with my friend
that tunes Hondas and we decided to try it ourselves. We got a bag of
sandblasting sand and hooked up into the intake and started the car. We
had to hold the gas so it would run. He wanted to let the engine suck in
the sand through the intake so it would port it out and then push it out
the exhaust so it would port the exhaust manifold.
I was worried that it might cause problems but he figured it'd be OK as
long as we didn't rev it too hard. After running the car and letting it
suck in sand we got about half way through a 25 lb bag. The check engine
light was on and the engine was bucking and kicking and sounding really
weird. We stopped and hooked the car back up normal and took off the
sand supply. We tried to start it again and it was really hard. Once
started it couldn't idle and kept making weird noises. We took it out
and drove it and it started to make scraping and knocking noises.
Help! Can anyone tell me what to do! My buddy only does Hondas so he
doesn't know much about Mazdas.
Really, so could this be the end?
I was thinking what if i got the engine running and poured a little
water in the intake, could that flush it out?
