Clean up my plenum

ck5.0 · Jan 19, 2007

Plenum looks like shit. I will be replacing the intake soon so I thought that it would be a good time to clean it up as well. What suggestions do you guys have (other than replacing it).

purchase an accufab or bbk upper plenum with a 70mm throttle body?

I like the looks of my Accufab piece.

you can also get rid of the EGR shit?!

Exhaust Gas Recirculation.

Emissions stuff.
there's a tube from the manifold to the TB there, and a valve thingie to the right of it.

it's definatley sucking.

Your a bad person for other reasons I am sure O0 O0 (just kidding) How about the oxidation on the plenum itself?

if youre going to "polish" it, that will all be removed in the process. here's one site i found on Google with some tips: http://www.gmtips.com/3rd-degree/dox/tips/buff/plenum/pol-plen.htm

i had found one a long time ago where a guy showed how he polished out a set of brake calipers... im still looking for it. his explanation is more detailed. i'll post it if i can find it

edit: here it is!!!
