ATF Trick, Water Flush or Seafoam equivalent injector cleaner!

What Injector cleaner would you recommend for the FD, I see on the rx7club.com the guys in the states are using \'Seafoam\' with great results etc whats our UK Equivalent?

ATF Trick, Water Flush or Seafoam equivalent injector cleaner!

Thank you

[m1tch]

I use Redex injector cleaner, the problem with a rotary having secondary injectors, to clean those I need to be on boost...shame

[SiH]

Lots of those things are placebo\'s tbh. There\'s only one way to get injectors proeprly cleaned, and that\'s to take them out and send them somewhere like Scholar engines. That\'s where mine are going. It\'s about a tenner each or something - that\'s naff all to pay for peace of mind imho.

[DMDRIFTING]

I agree, that would be the best option!

What i would like to know is what would be best for freeing a sticking seal, de-carbonising the Rotors etc

In the states there plumbing \'1 gal Distilled water\' to a plenum vacuum line, running the engine at 3k+ till it sucks all the water through the rotors to  remove harmful deposits  .

Plenty of steam from the exhaust etc, just wondered if anyone over here has done it with results?

Many thanks

P.s im running a mild premix too now

If you use v-power or optimax these fuel already have cleaning agents in. I doubt that adding more will do anything.

[DMDRIFTING]

Thats true, i guess what i really want to know is, has anyone done the water flush or ATF Fluid trick to free a sticking seal?

interesting reading. Don\'t think i\'ll bother!!
The water trick doesn\'t seem to kill the engine, but i\'m not sure it does what it says on the tin?

[DMDRIFTING]

Very interesting read, so the general rule would be to use ATF for a flooded engine if needed and to not leave it overnight?

Many thanks


Have you any information on the water flush treatment?

[Ricco_04]

Sure they sometimes do that water thing on that program on sky.  Cant remember what its called (no not pimp my ride :Santa)  Its like American chopper but the cars instead!

[DMDRIFTING]

Don\'t have sky

[Shiuko]

Overhauling?

[Ricco_04]

Yeah thats the one!  I only seen 2 episodes cause I dont have sky and was round my mates house.  He said he\'s seen it done with a hose pipe :rollin

seafoam in the intake lol

[DMDRIFTING]

Crazy Yanks "Is that water?".

Is that stuff actually any good? Every car i\'ve seen it used on, just seems to blow steam out the exhaust like someone plumbed the coolant line into the cat :yes

[DMDRIFTING]

I would at least use distilled water i think :rollin
