Bought spark plugs and oil filter yesterday for a lil tune up, so said why not buy some seafoam...so i did and i just did that right now, crazy amount of smoke. but it went away pretty quick. i didnt take pics but i made a video so ill try to put that up maybe on youtube and link it here tonight

took video screens instead

 

i did that too on my 2nd gen. today lots of smoke.

 

how did it run/idle? did it made a big difference? and where did you guy's bought it and how much did it cost you?

 

lol nice

buy it at any auto parts store, i got it from autozone. well i think its to early to tell if it made a difference, and i havent checked the idle i wasnt paying attention. ill let you know tomorrow after i change the oil and spark plugs. and it was cheap, not sure, but maybe like 13 bucks.


And i didnt want to put the whole video so i took screenshots from the video...here ya go.








I also found a leak in my exhaust, because the smoke was coming out from it and into the engine bay, another + for doin seafoam.


And forgot to say Thanks to my dad for helping me record and do the seafoam.

 

i did it 2 weeks ago. the difference was amazing. you can really feel it in the gas pedal and sound of the engine.

 

Anyone ever seafoam a GTE?

 

lol i like ur lil pic of the dog kaiser...

is seafoamin a turbo engine bad? does it hurt it?

 

i dont see how it can be bad. but I did it to my old 7MGTE motor in my supra and it worked great

 

I use MCCC (mopar combustion chamber cleaner), same as seafoam and available at the parts counter of any dodge/chrysler dealership for like 4 bux.

Seafoam can be used in any engine, the key is to get a constant spray going and keep the throttle open to avoid flooding the engine. Very easy to do and definitely cleans out the chambers. Also a great way to find exhaust leaks as stated above!

Don't forget to switch plugs afterwards. Some people even go as far as changing the oil.

 

^^^ yea oil change and new spark plugs are goin to be changed tomorow

 

Hey, i didnt want to start a new thread so ill ask here...so i finally got around to changing the oil, and the spark plugs, but i cant get to 2 of the spark plugs. do i need to take the whole intake manifold and throttle body off!? if so, that really sucks...or is there a way to take them out without doin that.

im trying to get that done tonight or tomorow morning, so if anyone knows please help.

thanks


oh and btw after seafoam and everything, the car idles very nice. very smooth, i love it.

Nevermind...i found out how. but just incase anyone needs help heres a link. and yea you gotta take off throttle body.

T/B is going to have to come off to emove the last 2

 

What vacuum line did you use to put it in? I've done it in the past with my dsm's but never on my 2gs. I usually use deep creek which is sea foam in a can. It is much easyer to deal with and less mess.

 

no, you really don't have to take off the tb to get to the spark plugs, all i do is slide it to the end of the studs and you should be able to get to them. --MIC.

 

wait slide the Throttle body? which way? towards the front of the car or back?
