ok, i have a b16a2 built from the ground up.I also milled the head to get me from 11:8:1 to a little less than 12:8:1. I have to run premium fuel, which is 90 octane here, and octane boosters. I know with high compression like that and me racing I will build up carbon on my valves right? other places? Any methods ANYONE has for keeping your internal engine clean (without having to take apart my engine all the time) and running good will be GREATLY apreciated. I really need help on this one! Also, is there any specific REALLY GOOD oil i shoud run with my motor? it only has 500 miles on it rebuilt. Plz help!

SkoundrelUSA

uh..seafoam? I don't know

But how do you have a 12.8 comp B16. What setup do you have? j/w

cambopheonix56

Thats high compress man.. Sorry i dont have any help. What numbers you puttin down with the motor?

Edit: I work at sears and in the automotive department, they have this new engine system cleaner, it costs 70 bucks but they do a good job of cleaning it.

Yeah, seafoam is a great cleaning agent.

I don't know if it's meant for these applications, but Royal Purple oil is supposed to be very good, though extremely expensive ($6 or $7 a quart.)

I herd sea foam can expletive up your engine? is that true? has anyone on hear ever used it?

SkoundrelUSA

I've used it personally but not on a high comp engine or anything.

on a B16A. I did it some time during the early summer of 05. Engine still runs fine. I didn't really notice anything though

Wish I knew man. What are you using for spark plugs and oil?

im using ngk iridium and im using the oil that is meant for my engine strait from honda. I just got done puting on a new thicker head gasket to add back on what i milled from the head and my ecu is being redone right now becuz with the thicker head gasket it advanced the timing. so my ecu is being reprogrammed as we speek.

wow! thanks for all that info. im glad u took up all that space to make yourself feel good. INFO=

Certain gas stations carry fuel that tends to have less carbon buildup (it was an article in a Super Street from last year). With that compression ratio the easiest way to clean it out is to run Cam2, Turbo Blue, or even race fuel. Even at almost 12 to 1 compression you should mix race fuel with the 90 octane so that your valves don't ping. I run a mix of Turbo Blue and 93 in my hatch on my street tune and straight racing gas on race tune. When I tore it apart to refresh it, my motor had no carbon buildup at all.

where do u buy your race gas?
