Dirty intake manifold? Evo 8
what’s up everyone? So picked up my evo a few weeks ago and I have been slowly going through it. I looked down the intake manifold and it’s got a lot of carbon build up. Is this normal? I was thinking about pulling it off but it seems like a real pain. I have the injectors off right now so I can send them in for service. I tried looking through the forums for the best cleaning but didn’t really come up with much. Thanks!

That looks like a pretty bad case, but I have seen it happen. The oem setup forces the intake manifold to vacuum crank case fumes, which could cause extra build up. On top of that, you have the EGR system spewing exhaust fumes into the mani. I would use a can or 2 of brake cleaner on the inside of the manifold before installing it. It can be cleaned and restored.

Remove it and clean it properly. Same with the throttle body. Then do an EGR delete, and run a catch can. Problem solved and prevented from happening again in the future
