i wonder if all the gunky crap will block up the valves/damage the bores

would like to hear an engine builders opinion, just like engine flush, sure the manufacture says its all great, but is it?

I used to use this stuff all the time at my old work on the subaru's, it gets rid of and carbon build up around the valves and generally just cleans any gunk from the motor. Just don't inhale the exhaust fumes, insanely bad for you.

Its also really good for rusted or seized bolts and stuff, i used some when i did my turbo and made all the nuts/bolts easy to get of.

It's actually the PERFECT way to clean out the IACV.

Put it down the pipe that goes to it and open up!

Works a charm, and once it has cleaned everything out the cars normally idle much smoother once they've relearnt how to.

After doing a clean with it, it is often a good idea to reset the manual idle, and then reset the ECU so it can learn to idle again.

I use it, awsome stuff, however if the engine is old, the carbon on the ring lands can help the rings seal, this stuff will wash it away. Pretty lethal stuff though, especially what comes out the exhaust after

Agreed.. it is a very good cleaner.. but only recommended for horizontal motors as it is designed to remove the excess build up from the design of the motor it can be bad for a vertical motor..

older motors can rely on that build up to take up the gap in the rings etc...

i would not recommend unless it is a tight motor..

That said i have had a subaru tech telling me that they use it on every car they work on...

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
