What is Walnut Shell Blasting?

Walnut Shell Blasting involves "shooting" a mixture of compressed air and Walnut Shells into the Intake Ports to clean carbon deposits and buildup that occurs slowly over time on the Intake Valves. It is considered a scheduled maintenance service that is required only on Engines that have Fuel systems known as Direct Injection (or DI). Many vehicle makes and manufacturers have modern vehicles that are Direct Injection which would also require this cleaning at a specified interval, not just BMWs.

Modern day BMW's all use Direct Injection Fuel Systems - which as the name implies allows fuel to be “directly injected” into the cylinder combustion chamber. This enables the vehicle to be much more gas efficient, make more power with lower octane fuels, and allows manufacturers to meet efficiency requirements. While it provides many benefits, one specific drawback of the Direct Injection style Fuel system is that the Intake Valves are not cleaned with fuel or detergents. It creates the need for a Walnut Shell Blasting cleaning as a scheduled maintenance which should be performed regularly. If you have a Stock or Tuned vehicle and this service has yet to be completed - it would certainly be a good idea to get it taken care of!

How Often Do I Need Walnut Shell Blasting?

The service should be completed based on a balance of how the car was driven as well as modifications during this time. If the vehicle is completely stock, then the Walnut Shell Blasting Service should be completed as a scheduled maintenance service every 50K miles. With elevated heat cycling and levels with a modified or tuned vehicle - the need for the scheduled maintenance service becomes more important to be completed every 30-40K miles depending on use within this time. Many owners have more mileage than these recommendations, previous owners responsible for a large amount of mileage, or even drive the vehicles lightly. Any of these circumstances may call for slightly different intervals and if you have any specific questions in this regard please feel free to reach out to us directly and ask. We are happy to answer any questions specific to your application.

What is the Difference between Speed Logic and the Other Shops offering Walnut Shell Blasting?

Experience and Quality. With regard to Experience, we have performed over 500+ Walnut Shell Blastings for Enthusiasts within the Southern California area and beyond. Not a single shop can complete with the number of cleaning we have completed for locals. On the other hand, don't let the number of cars we have Walnut Shell Blasted fool you. We take our time and treat every car as if it is our own - during cleaning and also careful reassembly. We simply won't reassemble the car unless it looks like one of the videos on this post. And we mean it! We have hundreds of videos we are happy to share to prove this is not an anomaly. Every single car that comes through our doors for this service gets cleaned with this expectation. Lastly, since we didn't answer the question directly - go ahead and answer it yourself by taking a look or asking for end results of those Other Shops? We promise our work is unmatched by any other Shop in this regard - not to mention we have the videos to PROVE it and are happy to do so

We want to give a warm welcome to the 1Addicts community! We are a fully licensed automotive shop that specializes on the various BMW Turbo Engines (N54, N55, S55, S63, etc). Whether you may be looking for simple plug and play Bolt-Ons, a Turbo Upgrade, or complete Tuning solutions and packages; we can be sure to be able to help you with your needs. We have the resources and BMW specialty tools to get the job done correctly for all the services we offer. Thankfully our employees are car enthusiasts as well and can easily share insight and passion for the lifestyle. We work closely with many brands and vendors within the BMW community, continually staying informed of new product updates and releases. We are looking forward to working with fellow enthusiasts and serving the community!

Contact us through Direct Message, Phone, or Email to setup an appointment. Please be sure to mention Bimmerpost to recieve special pricing. We will need the car dropped off for this special pricing.
