i'm just afraid of it going through the blower though.....i dont know if that would cause any damage to the blower.

Does this stuff also clean out the exhaust? If not is there a cleaner that you can purchase that will help clean out the carbon deposits within the exhaust system? C

it wouldnt matter because it goes through your fuel system.

I don't think Honda makes it, I remember hearing that its just a rebadged GM product, but Honda does sell it at their dealerships.

Don't you also put it into your oil system? Although JRSCs have self contained oil systems, huh...

sea foam is like snapple. it's made from the best stuff on earth. This stuff works wonders. i have used it dozens of time through are motor vac machine at work. It just melts carbon away. cleans clogged injectors, O2sensors, combustion chambers.

I know that. It was stated earlier in this post that people with turbo cars have ran seafoam without problems, so why would it be any different than than on a JRSC if the injectors come after the blower?? It wouldnt, so why would it do any damage to the blower?.......

(i dont know too much about superchargers) But I doubt under vacuum that fuel would manage to back track into the manifold very far (dont know about JRSC manifold design either ) but that just doesnt make any sense...

I think it should be perfectly fine for the JRSC'd cars

I think the only worry SC'd owners had originally was the method of sucking sea foam through the vacuum lines. I don't see how the injectors would effect the SC.

exactly. theres no way the fuel would be "sucked back into the manifold" because the vacuum comes from the motor in the first place. i was originally referring to the brake booster line method causing potential hazards.

LOL

does it matter if you just dump the whole can in the gas tank?
is there an advantage to doing like 1/3 gas tank and the rest in vac?

No, I just did that because I had one can and as too damn lazy to drive up to the auto parts store for another can. I've seen others use one full can(1/3 in gas tank and 2/3 through vac), so I did the same thing. Worked like a charm getting the carbon off the piston tops.

is it save to drive your car in boost when this stuff is in your gas tank? or will it reduce my octane rating?

dunno, it wouldn't hurt you to stay out of boost for a few days would it?
