I personally think seafoam is all smoke and mirrors. It didn't improve the gas mileage or idle of my old beater Civic STD. The smoke cloud however, did piss off my neighbor. He grabbed his leaf blower out of the garage and tried blowing the smoke away from his house.

at least you didn't get ticketed for polluting the city. the neighbors thought the garage was on fire when we did my car.

I am averaging 4mpg+ since I did my seafoam. I was getting 24-26 and now I am getting 28-32.

I'm gonna foam this weekend I think...

If you do 1/3 crank, 1/3 vacuum, 1/3 gas the only thing you need to do is get an oil change after correct? Any suggestions for amount of gas in the tank to do it etc?

Tehvine

I believe you are supposed to add 1/3 seafoam to half of a tank of gas. Also, when you do the oil change let it drain for a while to try and get all that crap out of there.

Yeah, this thread was actually useful till it was filled with a page full of pictures of a teg

impressive, nice to see someone getting results

every car i've ever sea foamed has reacted greatly. hell my last oil change had my car idling fantastically afterwards. makes me wonder when the last time it was changed before

Josh99CL

Does the can say shit like that on it or is this just from user feedback?

I'm just trying to get all the info for the best results.

SEAfoam

Makes sense....

Josh99CL

So has there been any discussion on how often to run the car after you add all the foam before the oil change?

Add to half tank o gas > fill up
suck through PCV slowly around 2000/2500rpm
1/3rd in crank

Drive for how long? Idle for how long?

Oil change >

Done?

^Let it idle for about 2 or 3 minutes and go on a spirited drive till it stopps smoking.

Josh99CL

Then oil change... obv

Thanks,

I'm gonna get off dino too and switch to some mobile one synthetic 5w-30 after the foam (whenever I get around to it) we'll be the ultimate test to how tight the seals are.

after the seafoam was sucked in i let it sit in for about 15 mins before driving it.

Josh99CL

Sit idle or sit dead?

hybridnrg

if dead means off....then yes

I have about 134k miles on the 3oh, has anyone with around the same mileage do theirs in the crank case? Yes I have tried this before on my db1 teg but wasn't worried because I had a fresh jdm b18 sitting in the garage(was trying to find excuse to put it in cuz of wife) but this time I only have 1 car 1 engine, basically doing it to really try to improve egine feel.

i'm doing it with 105K

shnee

I just did it with nearly 170k miles on the car and got an oil change. I got Jiffy Lube's carbon treatment thingy a while back when I used to have money to blow, so there probably wasn't an insane amount of buildup in there. But I still smoked the shit out of the main road from my house. Everybody stayed like 10 cars back from me the whole time.
The only thing I've noticed so far is the improved idle. It's like it's barely on!
Hopefully there won't be any problems with seals or anything, but so far so good.

Josh99CL

Did you foam the crank?

xdaex

iTrader: (1)

^Really I think thats what you really notice,I know I did on my car so did some guys I know that we did it to also.

shnee

Yep, about 1/3 in each like everyone else.

97BlackAckCL

iTrader: (6)

sweet, I did that same treatment from my buddy and noticed an improvement, but still have my seafoam can I have been wanting to use, nice to know it's still worth it

hayo-cl

bout to do this to the CL with 195k on the clock. anyone think im in any risk of an oil leak from the foam in the crank?!

Josh99CL

Have you owned the car the entire time?
Has it had synthetic oil in it?

There is always a risk but if the car has been well maintained with quality products you have a much much lower risk of unplugging a grime filled leak.

MoSp33d

i think that comment was the funniest shit i've heard on this forum

Josh99CL

Ok I foamed my crank and changed the oil. I'm gonna do the intake next and instead of pulling wires off to see which sucks I figured I would just ask. You're looking at the intake manifold on a F23A1


Anyone care to point out which would be best to suck the foam into?

Josh99CL

:/

Josh99CL

Anyone know which line is the best to use in the above pic?

Josh99CL

Blue line works great FYI :P

Just suck it kinda slow and make sure the car doesn't die.

Tehvine

If the red goes to the brake booster, that is what I used. Just when you disconnect it, be prepared to put your thumb on the end a little, car will rev to the sky if you let it fully open.

Josh99CL

Yea I decided not to use that because the tube was really long and would have been awkward. Blue goes directly into the intake also and has plenty of suction for liquids it bends just enough to get it into a small container.

shnee

Yeah, I did it slow, gave it a little bit of rest every few seconds, and was throttling it a bit to help it along.

MoSp33d

i tried seafoaming but the damn 'T' connector wouldnt come off...the tube thats leading behind the engine...it would not budge...i tried pliers but no progress...UGH! any suggestions

feylito285@hotmail.com
