GutlessSupreme Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 Car smoked a bit, but not all that much. At all. I was short on hands so I just stuck a funnel in the end of the brake booster line and held it with one hand, while using fingers on the same hand to pull the throttle linkage and poured it in slowly with the other hand... Am I not supposed to really be letting air in while I'm doing it? Should I get a small hose to stick in the booster line that's easily pinchable so I can just stick the end in the bottle? (keeping it submerged? I think that was my problem.) I poured almost all of the pint sized bottle in and just funneled the rest into the gas tank.

digitaloutsider Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 When I did top engine cleaner, I took off those vacuum hose things on the TB and stuck a little aquarium hose in the one closest to the front of the car and the other end down into the bottle. The car ran like ASS while it was being put in there. But.. I'm very happy with the results. The performance increase is noticeable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteOut Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 I tried that stuff too last winter. My car didn't smoke at all except for when I went to start it the next time. I would guess that if its not producting smoke that it would mean that your intake is pretty clean already. That or it didn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1138 Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 I did it on my mom's car before I changed her oil, and when it died after I got about half the can in, I decided that was enough, and took her car for a drive, on the street, and then the highway... Needless to say I felt like I had a smoke screen, and the people behind me probably didn't like me much.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudefyet Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 i just bought some...you guys sparked my interest in it so how do you go about putting it into the intake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1138 Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 i just bought some...you guys sparked my interest in it so how do you go about putting it into the intake? This is a brake booster, not w-specific, but similar enough. See the grey vaccuum port? Pull the hose off of that, stick a funnel in there, and just pour it in very slowly. Your car will sputter a little, and seem to rev. If you have to, keep your hand on the throttle so you can rev it if neccessary, because if you pour too fast, it will want to stall. When you get down to the last bit of it, just dump it in and let your car stall out. Let it sit for awhile, and then go driving and enjoy the voluminous amount of smoke in the face of the person behind you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudefyet Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 that big ass black hose coming off it right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manitcor Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 I used to do that off the booster line till a friend did it off vac port for the vac modulator on the trans. its a small line but the suction is enough to suck down all the liquid. To do this properly your supposed to pour 2/3rd of the bottle in the engine and keep it running. Then dump the last 3rd in and make the engine stall. Let it sit for 15mins and then start it up, let it idle for 5-10 mins then take it for a drive. It will smoke plenty if done correctly.

midnight rider Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 I might have to try this in my olds. It has 210,000 on it and probly could use a perverbal engne douche Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94CutlassSLCoupe Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 yes i did...but i haven't picked it up yet. I will be driving it all the time (daily driver) once I get it BUT i will take real good care of it. It has real low mileage because it was owned by an old man who died and then his wife just wouldn't sell. Between there and E-bay...I dunno...but its my car now. It has 1 small dent and one small scratch on it and is otherwise showroom mint (except for some rust on the braces under the hood). My sister has a '94 coupe that is mechanically the same (engine, tranny, wheels) but is white with burgandy cloth...drove that car and fell in love with it.

99RegalGS Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 I did the seafoam today and it smoked quite a bit and for awile. I think it looked kinda cool with the smoke coming out. I also put some in the gas tank to clean out my injectors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GP1138 Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 Advanced Auto has it...that's where i found it at least Yeah, that's the only place I could find it. It's not upfront in the little display like it used to be, ask the salespeople for it, it'll be in the back, hidden amongst other cans of less interesting and useful junk.
