Why would you? In about 5-10 years maybe.Anyone seafoam their ex-t civic yet?
I heard that too, thats why i was curious if anyone has done it and made a video. I seafoamed my previous cars before without any problem. The reason i wanted to seafoam my ex-t is mainly because of the noisy lifters.I thought Sea-Foam was a NO-NO in direct injected Turbo engines, please correct me if I'm mistaken. I heard the crap released (specifically from behind the unwashed intake valves) gets into the turbo and causes problems, no more investigation than that yet.
OP has an EX-T.The OP has a naturally aspirated engine on his EX model, so that doesn't apply there. But, for turbo owners,
do not do this under any circumstances!!!!!
That is only true in extreme cases where the engine has been neglected for an extended period of time, or is subject to a high amount of carbon buildup through poor design. When we get to that point, the only fix is a chemical soak followed by walnut media. In typical applications, say every 60K, the buildup is softened to an oily residue and wiped off (in small amounts) through normal operation where it's subsequently burned in the cylinders. Very similar to the way it accumulates over time. Anything that passes beyond that point is nothing more than harmless vapor/gas.I thought Sea-Foam was a NO-NO in direct injected Turbo engines, please correct me if I'm mistaken.
