GUARANTEED way to increase your horsepower in 10 minutes!... Seafoam

[The Dirty EJ1]

Ok well I went to use that seafoam stuff... and I ran just a little bit through me brake booster line like the fourm on here said to.... well my car bogged out and died. When I go to start it back up it was acting dead, I have no lights, radio, signs of engine life!! Do I have to wait awhile b4 I am able to start it back up or did I mess it up??? Thanx for any help!! BTW i have a d16z6..

Mechanical engine failure causes elec. probs???

You most likely bogged it out by letting too much seafoam in at once... then you tried to restart... which drained the battery... now it won't do anything.

I'll reply in your other thread for advise.

Since when has hydrolock been an electric problem? You can hydrolock by:

sucking in water through the intake
Putting too much oil in
etc.

I guess if he was cranking the hell out of the engine to get it to come back on until the battery died then it would be electrical, but he simply stated he filled the engine with seafoam until it shut off ( easy way to hydrolock the car ) and The first time he tries to restart it, it's dead....eh, maybe it's both

THANX every 1... It sounds stupid but I had some bad ass timing.... (not literary) I was in the process of rechargeing my a/c and had the radio, and maxed a/c going for like an hour straight.... then I went to do the seafoam stuff and it bogged out and die... well my alternator went bad so my brand spankin new battery was D E A D! So I want to thank every one that helped me!!! and my z6 lives to see another day!!! THANK YOU!

Re-read my post... you basically restated what I said.:

[IMG][/IMG] this shit looks nuts. its late and im board.

[WhiteOnRice]

I did it. I used 1 full bottle; 1/3 in tank (with 7 gallons), 1/3 in valve cover, 1/3 in brake booster line. I barely had any white smoke; nothing like in the video (my car has 117,000 miles and always had oil changed before needed, babied). After the white smoke was gone (30 seconds) I let it sit for 10 mins and changed the oil.

Before I did this I had a rough idle at about 750 rpm's w/o a/c. When I had a/c on it was twice as bad. After seaforming the engine, I have no idle problem with or without air conditioning (and it's about 100 rpm's lower then before). Overall, the engine feels and sounds smoother. I'll let you guys know about the better gas mileage and I had no noticeable power gains.

I suggest doing this just for engine maintenance, don't expect any power gain.

[GG99]

seafoam does indeed work, my idle is way smoother, and i can feel increased pickup in the lower gears.

HOLY SHIT THAT STUFF MAKES ALOT OF SMOKE!

rofl, srry I can just imagine that, lol, Now the pics of the clean motor I was ready to buy some cases of that stuff

[Metalluthier]

I put about 3/4 Cup in two seperate intervals in my D16Z with 170K on it, smoked a little, no huge difference in performance, I'm cleaning my VTEC solenoid next...

Plenty of people agree that seafoam is a GREAT maintenance item that will likely smooth out your idle and overal engine performance and possibly even restore some lost horsepower. I noticed the most gains in 3rd gear.

It wasnt hydrolocked. It wouldnt hydrolock unlesss you stuck your entire intake tube in a 5 gallon bucket full of seafoam. But glad to hear you got it fixed!

Probably runs smoother tho. Maybe your engine was just super clean.

get it?

[drumminforev]

Ha. What the hell is the pic from.

jesus

[D16y8_619]

I would get a ticket in the quickness with this!I would try it out!

[Rob.]

Did seafoam my crx si today 230,000 kms on it. Works amazing !
Car feels like new , better throttle response, smooth idle.
I bet my emissions will be better now and my mpg will be better.

[wudini]

i have to say, i've seafoamed cars for years and never got smoke like that black civic. thats just crazy oh and i didnt read anything about Seafoam Deep Creep (although i didnt read the entire thread, just OP) which is basically seafoam in spray can. great throttle body cleaner, and a good way to fog an engine that's going to sit for a while. btw, seafoam is the equivelant of 112 octane fuel.

[hatch96y7]

when u use this stuff do u have to drive ur car or can u just rev it in ur garage

[JerkzBebot]

good stuff
