I wanted to do something to give back to the forum, since so many people/threads have helped me out over the past few months......


So I decided to create a:



"How to Video on using SeaFoam through the Brake Booster Line" and an "Affects Video", to show what SeaFoam actually does when used properly...







The video links last a little over 8 minutes each, with Part I showing how to use Seafoam, and Part II showing the "after affects" of the job you just performed...

A big thanks goes out to all the members to which have provided information to help make this video....especially Soonerfan, who's write-up was used as a reference in the making of this project.



Here are more related threads on how to apply SeaFoam to your vehicle:

My little way of paying it forward....hehe...


Enjoy!

 

Amazing, thanks a lot!

 

Nice work... should've had someone helping with the camera while you did the work. None the less good job.

 

looks good!!
lol at son saying "o crap" when the smoke came out.

 

nice......good job

 

Props to ya..I was rollin when Tyler was like "oh Crap! Wheres all that smoke comin from!"

Awesome Job - now lets hope none of the rooks dont ask "where's the brake booster line at?"

 

maybe one day when i'm feeling lucky i'll do this. CEL scares me.

 

good work. why the SES light was flashing during the smoke?
and always wear your seatbelt while driving.

 

After watching that video there is deffinately something wrong with my car, it's deffinately a lot slower than that, and what do you have done to it just a CAI? I'll try running some sea foam threw it tomorrow and see what that does then maybe clean my MAF again.

 

hey way to give back to the community.

nice work

 

video isn't loading for me, anyway can someone make this an avi and upload it somewhere or can you send me it in an email or something :O,

i was thinking about seafoaming today, until i realize i had no idea how. this video would be helpful

 

I just did the sea foam today...my SES light flashed that same way...then it stayed on.

 

awsome video, thanks alot. yeah why did the ses light was flashing?

 

stayed on? looks like one of your o2 sensor is fried.

 

Thanks for all the props, everyone!

I enjoyed making this video and Im just glad I could give something back to the org community!! (albeit small)





As for the SES light, Im not exactly sure why it flashed during the process...but the good news is, after clamping the brake booster line tight, and restarting the car, it never came back on

So far, so good on that end...



As for anyone looking to do this project, since doing the cleaning, I must say, the throttle response has been absolutely amazing.....and I highly recommend everyone to try this atleast once!

 

I reset the ECU and the light went off. It has stayed off for about 50 miles so far. On a side note, if you have to get emission testing done and you have a SES, can you reset it right before you get there? I say that because everytime I hve a SES I reset the ECU and the light stays off untill I do something big again (Sea Foam, Headers) Also last time I was at the emission place the guy told me as long as there was no check engine light on the car would pass. Is any of this true?

 

If they connect to the computer and read the monitors, you will not pass. Reseting the ECU resets the monitors and ive seen it take anywhere from 15-150 miles to reset the monitors. On older vehicles you are allowed to have 2 monitors not set. I would ask about that before you go.

And whenever I get the chance to do this im going to connect my scanner and see exactly why the SES comes on during the process.

 

Btw, how are you resetting your ECU?

 

Wow, great vid as I'm doing this in the spring or atleast when it warms up. Why is this not sticked by now?

 

Well. Let's see how his engine performs in about a month. If he shoots a rod out of the block do you think it should be stickied?

 

the thread is pretty helpfull and it should always be on top for newbies or for those who have no idea what seafoam is.

 

Why would that happen? I've never read anything negative about doing Seafoam.

 

Anything could happen. Loosening up particles of carbon could do a number or things... Chances of it happening are slim but are there. Just because you see white smoke coming out of the exhaust doesn't mean a thing to me. I could pour marvel mystery oil into the motor and you would see the same result. Actually, come to think about it. Marvel mystery oil will actually do the same thing as that sea foam...Doubt the results would be instantaneous like the sea foam.

 

Its in the "How To" also on the owens family site.

 

many people on here have done the seafoam without any major issues. the only thing to concern about is your o2 sensors if they are quite old there are chances that one or all of them going bad after the seafoam procedure. i believe there is nothing else to worry about.

 

I wasn't asking how it was done. I was asking Blck2blu.

Thanks anyway.

 

i did it on my 00 and my 02 with no problems

 

My rear O2 is shot, so I'm not worried .

Question though: Would it be recommended I do this before or after my Header/VQ35 cam install? (Both are new parts)

 

I don't see any reason that it would make a difference but if I were you I would do it before. No particular reason.

 

Good job on the video, I just did the sea foam treatment and the car runs as good as new.

 

great job on the vid,..i just did this,.. worked great.. lower idle and runs great,.. only ? is .. i got kinda scared because during the second part when holding the engine at 3K and gettin all the crap out.. some smoke started comming out of the engine near the second cylinder (rear passenger side),.. that worried me but im thinking there might be a slight exhaust leak?,..what do u guys think,.. i was like AHH my engine.. but after all the smoke was cleared out the engine stopped doing it,.. also temp gauage never moved soo .. ideas?.. thanks

 

here's my cloud! just did this a few minutes ago. no SES at any point. Car is a ton more responsive to my foot! thanks for the how to!
