pacoflyer Posted October 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 Well I think the spray was a fail, i dont think it got much at all in the intake and most likely flowed down the air intake tube. I am not sure if that is going to blow back up or not... It seemed to spray the middle of the throttle body and was deflected down the tube instead of in the intake...So that was a fail. I decided to copy a design of a valve and hose setup from SHO Rod's forum, and today I am going to sea foam it through the vacuum port. I did add sea foam to the tank and a smidge to the oil, which I will run for a bit and then change. I'll post some pics of my smoke later on.

pacoflyer Posted October 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 Finished the sea foam. This method was much better and produced great results! I should have time to take to the strip again soon and we'll see if there's a good gain.

SHO Rod Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 Nice job. That's a pretty fancy hose setup. -Rod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacoflyer Posted November 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 Not sure if the sea foam helped but my original time of 14.03 is bested by 13.93 as in my sig, but with exhaust soo not sure how much it helped. But according to B&G here gained 20 Ft. Lbs http://www.bgfueltest.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Posted November 19, 2021 Report Share Posted November 19, 2021 I jus pulled the intake off and manually cleaned followed by walnut blasting then crc gdi cleaner. Came out looking brand new in the ports. Of course you have to roll the engine over to get TDC compression stroke for each cylinder so it’s one at a time and very messy when all said and done but we’ll worth it for the GTDI engines. I was chasing a cold miss fire only on cyl 5 . Now to run a methanol injection kit and never worry about it again lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
