Hey guys, I've got a 98 1.8T. I've had a k04 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 ehxaust 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 make boost and it get sucked in the turbo. 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 Audis.

Nice..I have me a 98 E36 M3 Sedan 5SP Arctic Silver over Dove. Going to go forced induction (turbo) on it soon. I have the same wheels you have (DSII's). Had some shitty riding 19's on it when I bought it. Good luck with everything.

Double FacePalm........ i cant believe you ruined your motor because you did not think about what the fuck you were doing, i majored in auto tech. Now lets think about this just for one minute shall we.... Your car has an air filter right, now what does that air filter do, thats right kids, it prevents dirt, grime, and what do you know SAND from getting in your motor. Now lets see if you were paying attn. car+air filter=no dirt, sand, or grime. car runs good. car+SAND=shit son, you need a new motor.
Class dismissed

BTW sweet M3. thats my gf favorite car.

Only god can bring that one back. I hope it's not true.
 
Porting is actually reshaping the intake and exhaust valve seats in the cylinder head with a die grinder or the like.

Next time make sure you fill the crankcase with oil all the way to the top of the fill hole.
