Seafoam into the Turbo... June 09, 2007, 07:10:44 PM Ok, I'm planning on using this SeaFoam stuff in the Turbo Coupe to see if it helps it run any better. What I need to know is if I can just hook up a Vacuum hose to one of the capped off Openings on the Vacuum Tree, and suck the stuff in that way? Or does someone have an easier idea? Quote Selected
Seafoam into the Turbo... Reply #1 – June 09, 2007, 07:24:42 PM Most people use the PCV. On my T/A I was able to use the brake booster line I believe. I'm pretty sure you just want it to get sucked into your engine...Seriously though, if you are going to do it that way, do the other 2 methods as well, I thought that the crankcase way wouldn't do much, in 100 miles it turned fresh oil pure black.. I was amazed. Plus the fuel way is the easiest to do so you might as well. Quote Selected

Seafoam into the Turbo... Reply #3 – June 09, 2007, 07:31:08 PM It's not really doing anything, I just figure it might improve the performance a little. After all, it is a 230k mile engine. Quote Selected
Seafoam into the Turbo... Reply #4 – June 09, 2007, 07:41:08 PM It will help to some degree. And if it doesn't, the smoke show makes it worth it.I did it to my '88 and it worked nicely. Quote Selected
Seafoam into the Turbo... Reply #5 – June 09, 2007, 07:43:21 PM Yeah, My dad used some today on his Firebird, it was a rather nice smoke show. The neighbors really appreciated it!Anyway, I think I'll use the Hose going into the PCV. Any suggestions on usage? Or are the instructions on the bottle all I need? Quote Selected
Seafoam into the Turbo... Reply #6 – June 09, 2007, 08:47:21 PM Make sure it sucks in slow. after you have the proscribed amount, shut the car down and wait for about 25 mins or so. After that, the snoke show begins!! I actually used the intake port for my FPR to suck it in. Quote Selected

Seafoam into the Turbo... Reply #8 – June 09, 2007, 11:34:13 PM I'm going to use the PCV valve line on the top of the engine. Right into the cylinders. Quote Selected
Seafoam into the Turbo... Reply #9 – June 09, 2007, 11:58:23 PM Put 1/3 of it in the oil, put 1/3 in the gas tank, and suck the rest into the brake booster hose. That will clean everything, the oiling system, the fuel system, and the intake system including the valves....where a lot of problems stem from. Quote Selected
Seafoam into the Turbo... Reply #10 – June 10, 2007, 01:33:36 AM I sucked it up with the hose from the top mount I/C to the Vac tree. There it get worked throught the whole vac system. The 1st time I did it to the Turbo coupe I went from 14HG vac to 17HG vac. So it had to do some thing in there. I only did the vac system. The fuel and oil got it the week before and after that I had to do the Vac lines. I used it in the gas and oil the way it says to on the back of the can. Quote Selected

Also don't want the viscosity of your oil thinned down too much by it. Speaking of that, are you running synthetic? Quote Selected
