Spray way would probably be better/easier/neater.

I thought my tiny free Autozone funnel would work on the BB hose, but it was too big, had to use a piece of cardboard and spilled it everywhere.

Just remember, pour it slooooowly.

This restores horsepower and there is no question about that. It does not increase it past stock however.

I believe your dad has used it, but it doesnt mean that many people know what it is.

No, this cant hydrolock your engine. I have used and ENTIRE BOTTLE at once many times and it does not hydrolock. You just need to keep giving it throttle so it doesnt bog out. If it bogs out, just turn it back on. How hard is that.</TD></TR></TABLE>

This is all just your opinion.

Until you sit a car on a dyno before and after you can't claim that seafoam does a damn thing other than make smoke pour out the back of your car.

Care to explain to me how this product magically restores hp?

 

would it be okay to use this produt on my engine of almost 97k or should i be concerned that i have "carbon seals" somewhere.

 

how does seafoam affect the overall octane level of your gas?
running a boosted car requires a specific octane level.. lowering it could be disasterous

 

I dont think it effects octane levels one bit. My car is a little bitch when the octanes arent right but with seafoam i never notice a difference though the tank.

 

so wait you can or cant put that **** in threw the oil cap?

You can. Just remember to CHANGE THE OIL after the "spirited" drive. Also not a full can, like a 1/3 of the can or so

Can. You put 1/3 into the gas tank, 1/3 through the brake booster, 1/3 through the oil cap. Drive the **** out of the car and then change the oil.

 

Why do you INSIST on telling me it doesnt increase horsepower. If you are faster down the street, if you feel faster, then what does it matter? There is no doubt about it that my car is faster, having raced a friends car many times before, then many times after. Every time after i walked his *** harder than before.

Is that just coincidence, or did his car just suddently slow down. Or maybe he was letting off just to make me feel good....i doubt it.


Yes, using seafoam would lower your compression...BACK TO STOCK. Carbon raised compression is not good, why would you want to increase your chancem of detonation, along with how incredibly hot you would be burning.

More compression = more heat = more risk. Thats why turbo cars lower their compression.

If you transfer the seafoam into a spray bottle (like a windex bottle...cleaned out of course...or just a brand new one from walmart) and sprayed it in the intake manifold would that accomplish the same thing?</TD></TR></TABLE>

There would be no benefit of doing this. You want seafoam to SATURATE your internals. The point is to get it soaking wet, let it sit, then burn out the saturated carbon. A spray bottle would limit seafoams ability from saturating internals due to such little going it at a time, it would burn out right away.

It's one thing to claim, and another not have a any proof of the hp gains...I understand what your saying you just need to have some proof of this, then people will believe it.

 

1) You and your friends must also have week long AEM vs. Injen intake debates too probably

2) Use 93 octane (which I do anyway) and that "oh so high compression" isn't a problem anymore

3) Not everyone goes FI, but run high comp N/A instead.

I really dont know what the hell you are trying to say. In arizona, 91 octane is max at pumps. And you can definately still get detonation at 91 or 93 octane if your sidewalls are covered in carbon.

I will soon get on a dyno before and after, just to have technical proof. No more skepticism.

I insist because you have NO NUMBERS TO BACK UP YOUR CLAIMS. You have the good ol *** dyno, and that doesn't prove a damn thing.

And not all of us who boost lower compression. If I ever build this damn thing it's going to higher CR.

Get me some dyno numbers, some drag strip numbers, some road course numbers, ANYTHING to prove that you gained HP doing this and I'll agree with you, but I'd be more than willing to bet you're not going to provide anything.

 

Of couse im not going to provide anything. Im not willing to spend the money on a before dyno and after dyno just to prove to some people in a forum. If you dont want to do it, fine, your loss.

I have already seafoamed my car 5 times, so there isnt much carbon left, so there would be a "before" anymore.

 

sounds like if your car runs a lil better then it did before you would notice right? I get what your saying dude. I'd like to try this stuff myself and i was just wondering if it would be safe to use on my engine with almost 97k miles on it. It's never really been run really hard and it's in great condition. It's just the fact that it has almost 100k miles on it that makes me cautious about the "carbon seals" thing.

 

so if i do it twice do i get 20 hp? j/k

 

Ive seen this before we used to sell it when I was at in HS working at jiffy lube. I dont know about dyno numbers HOWEVER had several people lower there co2 numbers dramatically and a tad for the NOx2. This one guy had a legend failed emissions miserably we seafomed him and he passed. He showed us the before and after emissions slips. It does help a little but so doesnt having a properly tuned motor to begin with.

 

if you were 20hp below stock than maybe. . i think he was saying that it helps your car get back to the performance it was at before the carbon build up.

 

Does it matter how many miles are on the car to use Seafoam? Or is it something for cars of all ages?

Pretty sure you'll be fine at 97k.

I did on a JDM B16 so it can be anywhere from 33k to 200k

At 100k miles, you definately need it. Carbon seals is a rare thing. If you havent drove your engine hard ever, then your carbon buildup is going to be massive. Driving like a granny promotes carbon.

This is safe for all motors. If you havent been redlining the hell out of your ****, then your seals should be perfect.

 

I would like to hear from people who also used seafoam, and some video clips would be crunk too.

I know i cant be the only person who thinks blowing barrels of smoke at cars behind me is fun as hell! (along with maintaining my car at the same time)
