Seafoam
 

I was wondering if you could use seafoam with a turbo'd car. I've done it before and i really liked the results, and i'm thinking that after i dyno tune my car it would probably be a good idea to remove the 4389 lbs of carbon deposits i probably have inside my engine from running stupid rich. Any ideas?

Do it

Re: Seafoam
 

If you want to go the home made route, you can just get on the highway and stay in boost for 10-15 minutes.
That should clean everything right out ;D

Including your wallet.

I thought this thread was going to be about my civic

Re: Seafoam
 

keyword, everything, including valves, ring lands and everything inbetween.

But seriously, has anyone done it?

Re: Seafoam
 

Done what? Seafoam or the long time in boost?

I've sea foamed my engine twice. I know guys who do it on a monthly basis. When I first bought my car, it was getting about 24-26mpg at best. After seafoam I was up over 30mpg. It cleans carbon out really well.

If you really want to get a really good all round treatment, buy two or maybe even three cans of it. One in the intake, one in the fuel tank, and one in the valve cover.

Check a thread I started @ Bob's here.


And yes, you can use it.

i know everyone over HT loves seaform but i just don`t belive that ---- actually works LOL

Re: Seafoam
 

Run some Xylene or Toluene throught there :)

Re: Seafoam
 

Just flush it out with some disel fuel and call it a day :P .

Re: Seafoam
 

I've used it several times and know for 100% that it works.

Re: Seafoam
 

word. I thought we were gonna talk about boosting seafoam.

Re: Seafoam
 

Ei, how do you use this s*itfoam? Do you actually mix it with your gasoline/ oil? Like literally puing it in your gas tank and valve cover?

*Nevermind.. found it.. :-X

Re: Seafoam
 

Honda combustion chamber cleaner seems to work fairly well as I haven't been able to find seafoam at any of my local auto parts stores.

Re: Seafoam
 

I think he's asking if it's ok to use seafoam with a turbo on the car(is it ok for seafoam to run through the turbo). Since you have to change the oil after, I'm guess it's probably not a good idea, beause of all the dirt and ---- that gets in the oil.

If you see the post I linked to, you see how I use it, and the old directions that fill in some of the gaps. http://theoildrop.server101.com/cgi/...c&f=5&t=003806
I would suggest any of yall with i4's to only use a 1/4 can at a time when sucking/pouring into the intake.
Seafoam works very well at $5 a can. Practically owned every Toyota forum over the last year.

Re: Seafoam
 

So you don't know what it is yet you call it shitfoam? Also why edit ---- out?

Stuff gets my approval. Has worked great for me b4. Above all does no harm. More than I can guarentee from some products.

Re: Seafoam
 

I've used the stuff (when i was N/A)

I had crap compression from carbon buildup on the valves and piston faces.
I did a compression test before I did anything to the engine...and here are the results from that

135 - 179 - 168 - 184 ...pretty nasty eh!

I ran about 1/2 a can through a vac line and let it sit for a while (stalled the car out on it so it would be liquid on the valves for a while). Then fired it up again and let it smoke a LOT.

Compression test #'s afterwards:

171.5 - 171.5 - 172 - 175

Much better

Re: Seafoam
 

what about autoRX?

Re: Seafoam
 

Costs 10-15x more, doesn't really work any better.

Re: Seafoam
 

what vac line did you run it thu?

Re: Seafoam
 

I think it was the brake booster
