its basically a cleaning solution for your motor, cleans up all the carbon deposits internally and makes your car blow a big white cloud of smoke for a good 30 miles.

get seafoam at your local autozone...yes it is effective. retorse power and gas maliage by removing carbon deposits

1/3 can into gas tank
1/3 can to crankcase
1/3 to any vacum line leading to intake manifold

drive your car at 4,000+ rpms untill the big clowd of smoke behind you is gone....takes about a good 30 miles

you probably would get pulled over. My advice is find a big mostly deserted parking to do it in and bring your tools with you.

before we all jump to any conclusion about seafoam, especially NOT knowing what it is and what if can do, i would recommend doing some research on it. i know on team-integra, there are 1 too many negative posts and write ups on seafoam and how it does do you NO good....do some researching before doing anything.

dont dumb it down your tank and ride around.......just do it in your driveway through the intake and have some man the throttle to keep the engine from dying

when I did it i just found it easier to dump it into a vac line as opposed to throwing it into the gas tank...etc.

dunno, worked just fine for me it seemed.

yeah but you wouldn't get a complete engine flush with out getting the IM. Damn i regret not doing it befor my tuneup got new iridum plugs in don't wanna change them out yet..thinking about going to buy some cheap bosh plugs and doing the seafoam. Anyways the reason you didn't get any smoke is because you didn't flush it through your brake booster line.

I tried seafoam before.....doesnt seem to improve anything on my car....I thought it was gonna be a big white cloud of smoke but my car didnt smoke that bad. Made my idle flucuated a bit and white smoke came out a little. It didnt impress me like others here said..........yes did follow all the correct procedure....Ill save my money and buy some NOS octane booster...
