Walnut Blasting

Restore Power • Improve Fuel Economy • Protect Your Engine

Gasoline Direct-Injection engines build carbon — period. Over time, that buildup on intake valves chokes airflow, kills throttle response, reduces fuel mileage, and robs horsepower. At Underground Autosports, we bring your engine back to life with our Professional Walnut Blasting Service using dealership-grade media blasting equipment and precision cleaning techniques trusted on performance vehicles worldwide.

What’s Included in the Walnut Blasting Special Package

Full Intake System Inspection

We start by inspecting the intake system, valves, and manifold for carbon buildup severity using high-resolution borescope imaging.

Professional Walnut Shell Media Blasting

We safely remove carbon from intake valves using finely-ground walnut media — no harsh chemicals, no scoring, no shortcuts — restoring smooth airflow and like-new valve surfaces.

Throttle Body Cleaning

Complete cleaning of the throttle body and surrounding air pathway for max throttle response.

Injector & Sensor Check

We verify injector spray patterns, seals, and MAP/MAP sensor performance to ensure no secondary issues are hiding behind carbon buildup.

Oil Catch Can Recommendation (If Needed)

If your platform is known for excessive PCV blow-by, we’ll recommend and quote optional upgrades to keep carbon from returning.

Before & After Photos

Documented results so you can see the difference in engine cleanliness and performance.

Code Scan + Reset

Final diagnostic scan and adaptation reset (when applicable).
