that'd be great if you just want to run it through your injectors... if you have an issue with vac lines, you definitely need to run it through them. just jam a funnel in your brake booster line and go.

Yeah mixed reviews here to, seems like alot of Honda guys use it GM as well. I never used it I would just rebuild if it pops, I just dont see how the stuff works to be honest and ive read alot into it. Seems like its just one of those old late night T.V. things like "THE BANJO MINOW!!" but people beleived it.

I have been contemplating this idea for a little while now and have just decided to give it a try. I will be doing this with the rear section of my exhaust taken out though. Hope all goes well, I alredy don't expect the ol' KA to hold up much longer. Hahaha

I put it in a vac line and in the tank then let it sit for 10 min.. Then beat the piss out of it and watch all the smoke pour out.. I did notice a lil bit of a diff but i didnt put it in the crankcase

What I did was a lot more complicated...

My current ka has about 96k on it. When I got it I pulled the oil pan and head off. Had the head decked and cleaned professionally, cleaned the carbon off the pistons, and cleaned out the oil pan. Put everything back together with new gaskets. Started car and sprayed a bottle of intake cleaner into the iacv valve tube and into the intake. Car runs great now. Again, a lot of work but worth it.

i heard somewhere that sea foam could effect your compression because it might get rid of build up that might be holding compression. is this true?

soreballz

^^Yes, but if that happens, you should be fixing shit anyway.

One of the older Best Motoring DVD's had a topic on this - Drift king Tsuchia-San interviewed the owner of Spoon Japan and brought up this topic. And the verdict was: XX A BIG BIG NO NO XX. I remember he had a detailed explanation but can't remember exactly the rational. But no internal cleaning chemicals should be used to clean your motor internally. Once i heard this from the owner of Spoon Japan - I took his word on it

s13 @ fullboost

I just did it to my s13 single cam last weekend what I did was went to auto zone and bought seafoam it was like 8 bucks then I got 5 quarts of oil and a fram filter. got home and had my friend start the car and i pulled the line off the booster that runs into the manifold and stuck it in the seafoam case untill about a 3rd of it was gone then i hooked the hose back up to the booster and dumpt another 3rd into my crank case and the last 3rd into my gas I let the car sit for like 10 mins then i started it and watched the smoke show drove it for about 8 miles came cranked it up and did a oil change and it was done. now remember to change the oil after you do it i would say 11 miles max on the motor with the seamfoam in the crank case because that thins out your oil. makes it watery well anyways my car has 145k on it and it helpt alot

so go for it

sea foam is the shiznit! i used it on all of my cars ive owned.. my s13 when i first got it (dohc ka) smoked the most since i was babied by the first owner... he was a male model lol wusss i jus ran almost a half of the bottle thru the booster line ( have someone hold the throttle to keep from boggin then stick the vacumm line in the bottle and suck it up.. i usualy let it sit with engine off for about 15min then i poured the rest in the tank then i drove thru my neighborhood and smoked out the local wildlife lol.. i couldnt see my house behind me and i was barely out the drive way.... ran soooo much better after that

wouldn't know, I don't follow the Honda industry. Why in your right mind would you compare using SeaFoam with launching a new Honda suspension component??????? get your marbles straight. I'm sharing the info; take it or leave it.

s13silvia123

to me it worked like a champ. i passed emissions use these to clean up gunk. but i havent used them in the motor just for the gas so far.

I used it in all my KA's.

Everyone says not to put it in the crank case on a turbo motor.

But i would also like to know if its safe to use in the brake booster on a sr.

It worked wonders on my ka, it ran like a champ right after i seafoamed it.
