Good news. Seafoam has made it to the ghetto! And it's bringin mad horse power.

not really.. seafoam doesn't ALWAYS increase your horsepower, and it's probably like 5hp and 5tq at most with using at least a can of the ----.

when i had water leaking into my intake, it cleaned it out much better than seafoam ever did ;)

i do recommend everyone who hasn't already, pick up a can of seafoam (i believe only available at Napa Autoparts stores) and throw some in your car. no, it doesn't not hydrolock your car.. it's combustable. it eats up all the carbon and ---- everywhere. this stuff is basically an all-purpose carbon remover

- put a 1/4 can in a half or quarter tank of gas
- put a 1/4 can in your oil fill a few hundred miles before you need a change
- spray a few spritzes after your car is warm into each cylinder via the spark plugs, then fire it up (should take a little longer than normal) and wail on it >:D

oh yea, neighbors tend to look at your funny as you roll down the street trailing a big ass cloud of smoke.

word...... a leaky headgasket in the right place will clean your ---- better than any cleaner....

a neighbors car had the headgasket leak coolant into the cylinders.... and they were clean as ----...

maybe a trick would be to fill your windshield washer resevoir with distilled water(maybe some alcohol), then route and secure the line/hose leading it into the turbo inlet, or intake if N/A.... then rig up a switch to the throttle so it only activates at 75% throttle or somewhere around there... im pretty sure that after a month or so your ---- will be running way cleaner...

well mine, i was running charge pipes on my n/a (for shits and giggles) combined with 25 straight days of rain (1 day without.. now we're on another ------- 25 days), and charge pipes weren't completely sealed up. so, there was a little water near the bottom of the pipes, and when WOT, water would get sucked in, and before i could hit vtec in 2nd or 3rd, it would bog out and sometimes die. would crank really slowly like a low battery, then start up, pouring hella white smoke. so i wouldn't really suggest the 75% throttle idea.. maybe a switch that would spray a LITTLE in when you gave it some gas.

i did run like this for a good month, when i took off the charge pipes and put back on the CAI, i was chirping 3rd like it was nothing :8 definately felt like it gained a little torque, as it pulls better in 2nd and 3rd than it used it

I saw some on the shelf of O'reilly yesterday. They probably have it all over the place now.

I'll never buy it, I don't see any reason why ???

how? it can't hydrolock your motor cuz it's combustable and compressable (it comes compressed in a can for christs sake). i don't see how removing caked-on carbon from inside your motor is bad ???

Heh. You aren't quite up to speed on an aerosol can, are you? They mix the incompressible liquid with a compressible propellant...

I've dealt in fuel injectors capable of hydrolocking an engine. Fuel is combustable, so what is my point?

there was a kid on here about a month ago that hydrolocked his engine with seafoam.

i've read like 20 pages of that big honda-tech topic, and not a single person hydrolocked his motor ???

how not to use seafoam

Re: GUARANTEED way to increase your horsepower in 10 minutes!
 
yeah some people can ---- up anything, my freind "oiled" his k&n style filter so much that he had a POOL of oil below the filter his entire intake up to his IC was filled with oil (WRX) and his filter was still dripping. it completely slathered his MAF sensor and his car would barely run after. hmm if some is good more MUST be better right? ::) ::)

my car is already smoking because of valve seals i think, would that ---- help clean those leaking seals?

Seafoam works great as an engine flush. Just run it for a half hour in your oil and then drop the pan and clean it out. Works well, but nothing can replace a proper physical cleaning.

Seafoam isn't aerosal...it is just a metal can.

ive heard of people misting water into the intake to break up carbon deposits, im not really into putting ---- into my motor unless i absolutely know what it does.

it's called water injection..

i think people are exagerating the outcome of this, carbon removal isnt a huge hp gain.

I've done carbon blasts a few times, its pretty cool... I was afraid at first but it actually cleans the chambers pretty good. Just hold the engine at 6 grand while a small vac line sucking in water every few seconds... Pretty simple ----

Seafoam is good stuff with many uses. My grandfather keeps a stock of it in his shop for personal use. But for cleaning carbon I found this product works better than seafoam.
