what do you guys use? what would you recommend... i know im having some carbon build up... what to use what to use!!! thanks

 

None of them...pretty sure they haven't been shown to be effective. Just use good quality gas. Maybe someone has some magic cleaner though

 

How do you "know" you're having carbon build-up?

 

Because the commercials say so.....geesh

 

actually its got nothing to do with commercials, im going on a hunch kind of hopeing this is the reason i am having low compression in #1 cyc. so there is no reason to be a smart ***, if you don't wish to answer my question then don't, but don't sit there and be a smart ***

 

carbon buildup would cause "higher" compression, Not low compression.. Low compression indicates a fault in your cylinder or head. I would recommend a leakdown test to find the exact cause. You should consider seafoam treatment if you have carbon buildup. Injector cleaners are a waste IMO.

 

I was actually joking with threefiddyzee...calm down, it wasn't directed at you.

Most of the injector cleaners/octane boosters don't do crap but cause problems. And +1 with what BonesZ33 said.

 

awesome ive acutally heard a lot of good things about this sea foam so ill give it a shot thanks everyone and sorry areoZ 4 the misunderstanding

 

No prob. About this sea foam....I thought it was an oil additive? Am I wayyyyy off?

After some quick searching, I see that I am...this stuff looks great! I got a 97 mirage that is begging for this!

I will for sure use it on my mitsu, but does anyone use it on their Z? THAT would make me nervous.

 

i used techtron injector cleaner in a 96 geo prism and i felt a diffrence in the drive....i think it helps but only with high mileage cars
