Would this be logical? And how would you pour it into the vacum lines when other things require vacum? been thinking about it for a while.

 

I do this on my car every now and again, just pull off a vacuum line on the intake manifold and suck it in there. Youll have to keep the rpms up so the engine doesnt die...and it will produce a TON of smoke. My car usually smoked about 10 minutes after I use the seafoam. I usually suck down a whole can, and then take it for a boosted drive to blow everything out. Seems to work well for me.

 

yea i used to do it before my car was boosted too. but the thing is the hose off my intake mani is also where i tapped for the wasegate and blowoff valve. if i take it off to pour it will it affect anything

 

I really cant recommend seafoam on ANY engine. The benefits are very minimal compared to all the risks. Quite a few people have problems with it washing out cylinder walls and hurting bearing surfaces from improper use. Plus carbon is nothing that horrible. If you take care of your car you should have minimal if any build up at all. Ive torn down engines with 300,000 on them that are pretty much clean except a little bit on the top of the pistons which isnt bad at all. Your PCV system is what causes all the build up on the intake manifold and you dont want that to run through your engine anyway. Basically what im trying to say is save the 6 bucks and buy some food or something.

 

I have seafoamed many many boosted and non boosted cars. Haven't ever had a problem. A couple were over 200K miles. I always seafoam before I tune because I have had a couple of cases where I actually had detonation go away after seafoaming. One was my d16z6. Didn't have super high miles. Ran perfect. I boosted it and had to pull out over 1 degree per pound to keep it from detonating under boost(audible detonation). Seafoamed and didn't change anything else and was able to go back to .75 per pound with no sign of detonation at all on the plugs. Just my $.02.

 

I would not recommend seafoam to anyone, like someone else said Ive heard of many many risks...

 

The key word in your sentance is "heard".

I would reccomend Seafoam for a daily driver. It has many uses.

There shouldn't be a reason to use it on your non-daily though. You should be taking gooed enough care of it anyway.

 

WTF is seafoam?????

 

I use seafoam on all my cars and unless you are an idiot you can use it safely...

It only suggest to use a 1/3 bottle through the vac line, make sure the car is warm and use a big vac source like the pcv or brake booster and pinch the line so the car idles smooth and the release a little bit so it can suck in the seafoam but don't pour it in or put the vac line in the bottle just slowly let it suck it down....

I use another 1/3 added to the oil run the car and then change it..it helps break up any build up...

the last 1/3 i dump in the gas tank to help clean the fuel system and get rid of any moister in the fuel tank...

Its a great produce but you don't need to use constantly, I say ever 3-6 months is even more than needed but is extra security, if you do regular oil changes then you don't really need it also change your pcv valve every 3rd oil change, i thinkthat is what is recomended...

I use it on my stock boosted Mazdaspeed proege and my Boosted LS CRX Si

Since the ca will be idling yo won't need to worry about anything since you won't be making boost but use the PCV or Brake booster port since they are nice and big
