its the real big vacum line on the back of the intake manifold. POUR SLOWLY!

1/3 BRAKE BOOSTER
1/3 VALVE COVER
1/3 GAS TANK

Then change your oil within a week

Ok, to find your brake booster hose:

-Open your hood.
-Standing facing the engine from the front of the car, look at the firewall.
-On the far right of the firewall, you will see a large black round thing with a long skinny silver thing sticking out of it. The black thing is your brake booster, and the silver thing is you master cylinder.

Now on the black thing ( brake booster) there will be a rubber hose that connects to a nipple and runs over and connects to your intake manifold. The hose will be held onto your brake booster with a metal clip, all you need to loosen this clip is a pair of pliers, just squeeze the 2 tabs on it and slide it down the hose. Your idle will go all to hell and the hose will go PSSSSSSSSSSHHHHH the whole time you have it off, funnel/pour/dump the seafoam slowly into this hose.

Take another 1/3 or the rest of the bottle, and pour it right into the top of your valve cover where you put oil when doing an oil change. Or do 1/3 into the valve cover and 1/3 into your gas tank. Now take your car out and rip around in it for awhile and admire the smoke from your tailpipe.

Someone will produce a pic I'm sure that they can photoshop to show you exactly where the brake booster hose is.

1/3 BRAKE BOOSTER - The brake booster vac line that goes into the IM, not the brake booster itself (it has been done)

1/3 VALVE COVER - The crankcase - where the oil goes.

I wouldn't drive too far before changing the oil if you pour it in the crank. I always do it right after I go for a drive so I don't forget and leave it in there.

U disconnect that hose from the booster (big black cylindrical thing on the firewall), leave the other end of the hose on the intake manifold, and pour the 1/3 of it into that tube, then reconnect it to the booster after u finish.

hey...i just recently did the sea foam on my 92 dx hatch.....at first i poured the whole bottle just into the brake booster line all at once..yes i said the hwole thing.. i just dropped the brake booster line right into the bottle and grabbed my throttle and gave her a lil gas so she owuldnt die..im telling you after i did that it ran like a champ.....so then being impressed with the new feel of my car...i changed the oil...and about a week later...i did the same thing again because i was dying to see what the next bottle would do to my 117,000 civic...except i bought 2 bottles....i poured about 2/3 of one in my brake booster line, 2/3 in my gas, and 2/3 in my crank case....then i drove around like this for 3 weeks and a total of 700 miles before my lazy pothead *** decided to change the oil....and so i changed the oil...and my dx was noticebly revived to the beast that it once was....im telling you ....the way i did it...my 1.5 is a lil monster....t..... Sea foam is just like redbull except its for your car...im telling you..it gives you wings.....

Like it has been said: Pour it through the hose going to the intake manifold and not into your brake booster.
