10K Boost

[Matty]

Anyone else used this stuff that is supposed to decoke the engine and give you back some BHP.

Just used some on my Clio whilst the K&N was off. There is a hose that provides suction right by the throttle body and spent the best part of a night spraying this can of stuff up there.

You are supposed to spar for a minute, idle for 5 mins then spray the rest (which takes a bloody long time).

Hopefully will notice an improvement tomorrow. Although got to wait for the filter to dry before I can re-oil it and put back on.

Bit late now, but it should have gone in the throttle body, not the breather hose!

Lets hope it doesnt have too many ill effects!

 

[Matty]

Hope not. Didnt seem to want to go in the throttle body by itself!

 

[Nick Read]

Thats cos you gotta keep the revs at around 3000 and spray it very close to the bottom throttle plate.

Otherwise it all just runs down and drips on the gearbox.

is this stuff any good or a waste of money?

 

[BenR]

i put some in my 110,000 mile astra and it made it run rough as fcuk in the mornin and misfire i wouldnt have bothered

 

[Nick Read]

Well I always had good results from it.

 

[Matty]

Does seem to pull a bit better and seems smoother but then I also cleaned and re-oiled the K&N at the same time.

If it does get rid of Carbon build up then I can see it working but guess you have to do it regularly. Doubt it would do much iof your car has done 100k and never used it before!

 

[Nick Read]

Yeah if you run it through a 100k Astra its not gonna do it much good cos its the soot and crap thats holding the engine together by that time!

 

[adiclio16v]

it did work a bit it pulled smoother low down but i wouldnt have bothered for the rough runnin in the mornin, it was a good engine that ran sweet when warmed up
