Subaru engine cleaner on an Inline four.

**damo46** · 30-06-2009 11:31 PM

ive used it on few hondas like dc2r, ek4 and few other cars like proton gti engine .... it helped all cars in different areas.... very good stuff.... the common result from both the ek4 and dc2r was that response increased and cars went better... also made the gti engine idle sooo much better as it ran an AFM

do you have to take off the AFM to do it?

FWIW, this stuff is probably the best IACV cleaner on the market & one of the few that actually works without removing the valve...

So you would reccommend its usage on honda engines?

Well maybe not recommend it, but have had success with it? without any ill effects down the track?

AFM stands for Air Flow Meter

It'll be located inbetween your throttle body and your pod (there should be a plug plugged into it)

but some hondas dont have it

not too sure on the what models though

Ah,the IAT senser (Intake air tempreture sensor).

You don't have to remove it cause it's on the intake arm,you remove that and spray it into the throttle body.So easy.

Your Euro Sport CL9 does not have an AFM. It has a MAP sensor and an IAT sensor. That's it.

i havent used it on the dc2r because i forgot about it completely!

but i did have an N13 pulsar before the dc2r, and a mate of mine gave me a can... basically we emptied the can in the intake manifold... it was hard to start, but when it did jesus the amount of smoke was crazy and didn't stop for about 15 minutes... the car did run nicer afterwards!

didnt cause me any problems other than the fact that i had to adjust the idle control valve screw as it cleaned so much junk out of it

im looking to grab a couple of cans and do it on all the cars in the house

lol no, I am using it on my E30 BMW, which runs a AFM =P

I converted to old school man,

Anyways, with this, I think the main work that it does is when you spray it into the manifold tube, so that it cleans the combustion chambers. Spraying it into the TB does clean it a tiny bit but I think that's justthe icing on the cake. And if you really wanted to clean the TB you would use TB cleaner

So forget about spraying it into the TB IMHO and just spray it into one of the vac tubes. You will find that a SHITLOAD of smoke starts to come out of the zorst while you are doing it. Afterwards whether you drive it around or not doesn't matter, it's already done its thing (it will continue to smoke for a while tho) the revving is so the ****er doesn't stall while you are spraying it in.

Don't spray too much in too fast tho
