hello guys ,recently i been expermenting with 'seafoam' and this stuff is pure sex in a bottle!!
It cleans the internals of your engine giving you better acceleration and fuel usage.

Heres a DIY for applying seafoam to the PCV valve of the 3.0 CL: for other engines,application should be similiar



,look back behind your engine bay you will see the ''T'' connection ,that is the tube you have to use to suck in the seafoam to your intake system.as you can see ,it has been disconnected in the pic below,proceed to directions below



1. grab the bottle and a foam cup,put 1/3 of the bottle in the cup
2. start your engine
3. go to engine bay and hold the tube running to the manifold and stick it in the cup ,it will suck the seafoam,but suck only for 2 secs eachtime so your engine wont die,repeat till the seafoam is done.
4.the engine will shake and act weird,and possibly die,just restart it and continue process if it does.
5.now you want to RUN to ignition(so stuff your engine wont have time to burn just yet) and turn your car off and let it sit for 15minutes so the seafoam can clean out the engine.

6.connect pcv valve back together

7.this is the fun part,turn your car on and drive it hard for about 10 miles smoking up the whole block!

its normal for Check engine light to come on,just reset it by disconnecting the positive from battery and it wont come back again.

WARNING: make sure to suck the seafoam to your engine from that T connection ,not to that black piece in the back

ack.

Do you have more information on seafoam? I think i heard of something like this before, and I might want to try it on my accord, since it's high mileage.

i did it on my 3.0 ,and wow it works like magic,engine operation became a whole lot better. it also helped bring back the stock 0-60 for my car.highly recommend it!

+1 on the Seafoam treatment! I also use their transmission formula.

did the tranny seafoam help the shifting ?

it's highly suggested not to do it on any cars that have over 200,000 miles on the motor. seafoam cleans all the carbon deposits that might be helping keep the compression up on these older motors. i did it with mine that had 180,xxx on the motor and it worked wonders! i did 1/3 in the gas tank, 1/3 in the motor(through oil fill hole), and 1/3 through the vacuum line. my idle has dropped from 1,100 rpms to a nice 450-500 rpms. when your pouring it through the vacuum it is very recommendable that you have someone rev the engine up to about 3k rpms so that it doesn't die on you and it actually cycles through the motor! overall be safe because this procuct is very flamable and as always follow the directions on the bottle!

and if you have leaks blocked by carbon build up,they may start to show signs of leakage
(which is a good thing so you can fix them)

Yea, the tranny treatment deff helps. But I must clarify that when you use it in your crankcase and your transmission, you dont leave it in there for a long time. I put 1/3 in vacuum, 1/3 in gas tank, and 1/3 in the crankcase. I drove about 200 miles and then changed the oil.

Also, the seafoam transmission treatment is a different product than the seafoam original. DO NOT put the regular seafoam in your transmission.

This is great info here, guys. Good job on the warnings and things---sometimes it might seem like something so simple could never be messed up, but you wouldn't believe how stupid people are sometimes LOL.

I ahve used seafoam in my gas tank and it worked fine. I want to try it directly in the motor but I have heard horror stories of people blowing there motor up with it

big no no for the crankcase,it will build up inside your motor

You can actually use a lot more than what the can says.

Most people on Acurazine have had great success with running A FULL can through each the vac line, crank case, and gas tank. One member recently found Seafoam in a spray can under the name of Deep Creep.

New methods have also shown how to get the Seafoam in there better.

Sucking through the small vac line back there does not get it everywhere you need. We have been using the big vac line on the front of the throttle body. This sucks the Seafoam right in through the intake and cleans the butterfly valve as well.


Remember, moderation is key here. I'm not talking dump the whole can in at once. Disconnect the big vac line and connect a new piece of tubing to the nipple (the new tubing is used because after time the Seafoam will warp the rubber tubing causing a vac leak and idle problems). Dip the tip of the new hose into the can of Seafoam sucking it up slowly. Hit the throttle with your finger while sucking the Seafoam out to avoid stalling if it sounds like it's going to. After getting the whole can in there let it sit for about 10 and NO MORE THAN 15 MINS.


The next step is key which you mentioned already. Go for a HARD drive, not just a drive. You want to get the engine hot enough to burn all the carbon off. Make a few redline runs and hit VTEC.





Use a full can for when you have ~1/4 tank left. This will super-clean the injectors.

Dude, I've been wondering exactly how to use this stuff for a while, but no one I know has ever used it. I was kind of concerned about putting horrendously flammable shit in my oil...

THANK YOU.

Nomination for a Sticky!

This stuff is awesome, I ran it through the s2k and honestly it blew out smoke rings. It was great!

Ive got 2000miles til the next oil change...it will be seafoamed in 1800miles.

Love Seafoam ! My car was kinda sluggish and hesitant going uphill so I put it in my gas tank and WoW ! Just like night and day. Didn't do the vacuum line yet. But stuff is Amazing !

For those that didnt get to see the information here ,i have stickied the thread

I hope this will be of use to you

thanks everyone

I seafoamed my 91 lx and boy did i get more power out of it for maybe a week and that was it. if you seafoam and use high octane gas then you will get a better result. This was about a mouth ago. I then tried a new thing like seafoam but i first used it on my lawn mower and put it right into the crab and it cleaned it right before my eyes. then i tried it in my car and it felt a little bit better then when i seafoamed it. cause this doesn't make you car smoke and it is easy to use as well

Trust me you will love this as much as seafoam maybe more.

Is it worth doing it to a car with 50k miles?

you could try it wouldnt hurt

every week, ford engineers come and take boxes from the local store here,they swear by this suff.

The last (and only) Ford I had got sold before it had 80,000 miles on it because it was about to break everything

lets see here my car has somewhere around 227542 miles on it and it ran alot better so yes do it. I seafoam anything with a motor. And i am sorry i forgot my year its a 90 lx

On AcuraZine we were talking about going a Group Buy on a 55 gallon drum of it

^ LOL im guessing they're going to have the official seafoam meet?
