How Do You Use 10k Boost

[Guest mbrett]

How do you use 10k boost, cos my car is spluttery and will see if this stuf helps!!!

 

cheers

You take off the hose leading into the air flow meter and spray it in there while revving the car.

 

Its complete nonsense of course-the only carbon deposits which might make your engine run worse will be burnt on to the inside of the ports and exhaust - they wont come off with 10k boost.

 

You might want to try cleaning the inside of your air flow meter and throttle body with carb cleaner or something like that first. Taking the idle speed screw out of the top of the throttle body and cleaning all the crap out of the hole can make a difference too.

Could i use wynns injector/carb cleaner spray insted of 10k because its loads cheaper..??

[Ahl 4]

It's probably the same stuff, although I don't know for certain or anything.

 

You'd still get more of a benefit from taking out the throttle body & air flow meter and cleaning them manually.

I did a successful decoke on the CTI today - but I didn't have to take the head off, and I didn't spray anything down the intake either. Well, it's a luverly sunny day, I had 150 miles to do on the motorway with the hood down, and a good blast clears things out after a bit of town driving. Course, I had to stick to the seventy mile per hour limit but it still seemed to do some good

Personally, I reckon you'd do a far better job of cleaning the inlet system with a rag and some carb & injection cleaner than you would using 10k boost.

 

As Ahl said, if you're willing to take the throttle body off and the idle speed screw out and spend a day giving everything on the inlet a good clean then that would be better still.

Not even a day, you could do it all in an hour.

Surely if your head has been gsa flowed and a cam fitted recently it can't be that coked up ?

[Guest Al-2]

getting rid of the stupid crankcase breahter is the best way to prevent it happening at all. I ditched mine after I saw the inside of the plenum chamber ... uurgh.

[Guest SuperFLY]

last time i took my afm off my car wouldnt even start!

 

how am i gonna take the hose off and still have the car working to put anything like this in?

Do it all carefully and don't disconnect the AFM from the plug unless you really have to but to get the AFM and everything clean you are best to split everything.

 

You should be able to remove the whole inlet pipework without causing any trouble to your car starting, what was wrong with it in the end?

 

Ahl, I said a day if you wanted to do a really good job and are a slow worker. (cups of tea etc included )

a couple of us used this stuff on gtirs.

 

on mine very little s*it came out the back, and it made little overall difference

on a firends car huge amounts of crap came out the exhast, afterwards his car picked up better an pulled better.

[Guest Alex G]

in my experience which is limited your car wont start at all without the AFM plugged in!!!!!!!!!!!!if it does it will run rough!

 

(at least thats what happens on mine cos after i did the valve clearances and changed the timing belt i got really stressed out cos it wouldnt start and it turned out to be that)
