Thanks to a couple tips from some friends Im going to start my carbon clean tonight. Ill post up some pictures along the way. I don’t have a lot of miles so Im not expecting it to be very bad.
Is it true that highway miles and low RPM driving is worse for carbon build up.
Anyone have any pointers they would like to share.
How’d it go?
And yea, the low RPM cruising is probably the worst. Just think about the speed that air is passing by when cruising vs full throttle passes. At full throttle everything is being dialed in just right and air is rushing by. When cruising in low RPM the car is just limping around and air goes by but it isn’t doing anything special.
I’ve never been involved in carbon cleaning, but I hope the best for ya. Lookin forward to seeing pics. Also, what mileage are you at right now? Did you do in before/after logs or anything of that sort?
I got some great data and some strong collective technical feedback.
I will say this tho. Getting your intake off isn’t the eaisest thing to do. Im looking to take more time and tackle this project. The intake manifold has many many hoses and with the fuel line and fuel pumps. Its rather intimadating. I took a stab at starting this last night. I found that I might need some more tools. So Im kinda in limbo
An update for those of you who care. I just got the ok from JHM to get a set of there intake spacers for my S5. Ive been chatting with them about all the available parts for the S5 that should be more of less a plug and play from the rs4. They should be here next week and then Ill test them on the carbon clean.
So far Im kinda excited
Very nice, it’s not really an immediate notice, but you just kinda notice that you’re not loosing power. Kinda like how it SHOULD BE (as most of JHM’s parts tend to be infact, they don’t seem all that special b/c they seem like what the car should be/do stock, then you remember what the car does with the stock parts and it dawns on you how amazing the simple JHM parts actually are!)
Lovin’ this guy ^ lol!
