Putting seafoam in an EFI
« on: November 17, 2005, 09:07:51 AM »
Hey all,

So I've got some seafoam and I want to clean out my intake. I understand that I should be able to unhook a vacuum line, and basically suck seafoam out of the bottle into the intake with it, and then let it sit and foam up.

My question is, what is the best vacuum line for this? What is the best way to do this? Is what I'm talking about feasible?

(16 valve for those not in the know)

Thanks!

Sorry for not replying sooner, guys. :)

I put the seafoam in yesterday using the brake booster line.

Definately some extra pick-me-up. Kind of like putting in new spark plugs.

I had fun zooming down the road for a little bit smoking people out behind me.  ;D

This is the 10th manufacturer of efi i've used seafoam in.  It works grrrreat! Jjust like the other 9!
Doesn't harm the polymers at all!  Alcohol base products don't work !/2 as well & deteriorate the polymer lines & components.

Pour it on the ground and do a burnout on it and you will have all the smoke without the harm to the eng! >:D
