well thanks to brad i have a VR4 intake to fit to my legnum,
trying to get to the 100kw ATWs (4WD)

hoping this will help it breath a bit more. and get a few more kw,
currently at 93.1kw

anyway had a close look at it today and its bloody oily in the inside...

so where can i take it to get it cleaned out??

prefer somewhere in the auckland area, and the closer to manukau the better.

and cheap would be great to :D

I don't think the dish washer is a good idea!!

Paraffin - AKA:

nujol, mineral spirits, adepsine oil, alboline, glymol, liquid paraffin, paraffin oil, saxol, or USP mineral oil.

I think a bottle brush and meths would do a good job, and strong household cleaner should be ok too.

Meths is okay....ish. It's not the world's best degreaser though, and seeing as it's a VR-4 intake plenum, you can best your bottom dollar there will be a good coating of oily crap on the inside of it.

Deffinatly gay when its UC and Gly...

On my old GDI, I just used some simple green degreaser (can get it from the warehouse, and other places...) and a water blaster. Worked a treat and didnt take too long
