costasa Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Hello, I have a friend that have a small company that do aluminiun anodization. Talking to him he says that it make quimical polish, to try i give a old manta simbol and the result is amazing Here is some pictures off the old manta with the quimical polish My question is, can i do this to the intake manifold or my dellortos to improve the flow? will this result in better performance? What is your opinions? Thanks for all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is your opinions? Thanks for all Polishing is a no-no for intake manifolds, ports as it actually reduces flow. A roughish (120-180 grit) will leave enough small ripples on the metal surface to allow the air to tumble, a smooth polished finish won't have the same characteristics as the air won't tumble and actually slows down thus restricting the airflow. Personally i don't think it will improve airflow, but it does give a nice finish......also has quite an amusing name! HTH Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I make a mistake with the name i mix with the portuguese word, quimical=chemical, sorry The finish in the manifold it will be great with this process, i will try to talk with my friend maibe i make the chemical polish and after port it inside to 120-180 grit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
