TOP 10 Best Chemicals to Remove Intake Carbon Build Up
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2019
- After doing some research, I finally discovered THE best chemical to fix and remove intake carbon deposits on any engine: PolyEtherAmines or PEA for short.
PEA are nitrogen based detergents that are the silver bullet against carbon buildup and deposits, and are found in many Fuel Injector Cleaner Additives, but there are also other carbon detergents in these additives that can also help, like Polaris Carbon Clean, etc.
I came to this conclusion after researching the active ingredient of CRC Intake Valve Cleaner and discovering that there are many ways to get it in other products and use it in GDI engines or any engines for that matter.
PEA can be found in concentrations of up to 50% in commercials available Fuel Injector Cleaning Additives, and you can use it to remove carbon buildup deposits on any engine by just pouring it directly into the intake, so it can directly react to the carbon in the intake runners and intake valves.
Carbon Deposits in the intake valves is the most problematic thing about GDI engines, but it also affects regular EFI and Carburetor engines in the long run.

Great video, just a suggestion have you tried using that chemical safe squirt bottle, or even one of those pump action bug spray bottles
I use Gum Out with PEA. I use the advanced formula, every dozen tanks of fuel has helped
BG 44K main ingredient is High Flash Naptha, really kills carbon. Found at Sherwin Williams Paint store.
Can anyone speak to reformulated gasoline and how or if it impacts carbon buildup?
"safety data sh!t " ha ha ha ha....sorry I just loved that too much
Pulling data safety data sheets was good idea.
Thanks for the info.
Any suggestions for an old 1983 460 cid with carbon build up in the combustion chamber...
Do the same i did in the video. If you really want to get serious about cleaning it, use *Techron Marine* since It has a PEA concentration of up to 50% so it would be much more effective at removing the carbon. If it is carburated just pour the additive directly in the carb while holding the throttle a bit open with the other hand, same method my dad cleaned carbon off his carburated cars

Use the exact method I explained above....
Berkebile 2+2 gum cutter is what I use....
I got the Gumout intake foam, it looks like it’s aromatic solvents, acetone, naphthalene, and I am especially curious why it has carbon dioxide in it
I like Amsoil power foam.
Not available here in Mexico, will google it
Hi,
I have a Hyundai Sonata 2012, GDI.
I am also facing issues with CRC availability in my local store and want to try these carbon cleaners, spray directly into throttle body.
My question is, have you experienced any difference?
Are these carbon cleaners as good as CRC?
Inputs would be valuable.
Yes, Chevron Techron Concentrate is the one that works best. Lucas injector cleaner is also good, but Chevron should work even better than CRC
What about port injection motor I have 2006 ranger 3.0 160,000 miles
I dont get it, so which is best?
Could you put these in the vacuum line on the brake booster?
Real Johnny Trump yes you can, but I rather throw it in the throttle blade
BadAssEngineering any particular reason why? Gonna be tackling this for my pops this weekend and i dont wanna fuck anything up lol
If you do its imperative to do an oil change to flush out any solvents left over
Jeremy Moreside dont worry i never ended up doing it. He hates the truck and is gonna get rid of it soon so why bother lmao
Can this work if you pour it through the spark plug hole?
Sy Sanav no, the engine has to be running to burn everything
I meant pour it in prior to starting up the engine since it would already be residing inside the pistons.
Sy Sanav too much work, and you have to do it when the engine is hot. Check out my other video where I show the steps on how to pour it
Ive added gum out in a hot engine with spark plugs out. Let it heat soak for 3 hours, turn engine over to clear cylinders, reinstall spark plugs and run engine for 20 minutes. Go for a drive under medium aggresive throttle to load the engine. Repeat once a year
wont these throw codes if you put them into the intake?
You have to disconnect the MAF, and that will throw the codes, but other than that, no. Check my other video on how to use them, as I explain in more detail
You can still have the maf plugged in and throw it in the intake stream past the maf sensor with no issues. Seafoam has an attachment that slips inside the boot on the throttle body so no codes get thrown
Is it possible and safe to do this to a wrx?
newest bear yes, I don't know where the Throttle body is on those engines tho. Works great on any gas engine. If your TB is not accesible you can also do this using the vacuum lines
@@BadAssEngineering only have 17k miles so bet iys not terrible yet but would imagine after 30k its ready for a good cleaning.
Always thought that the volume of liquid that you add into the air intake to get it into the engine to burn should be small so it doesn't flood. You poured a lot in 😂, or am I missing a trick?
A 5300cc engine displaces almost 90 liters of air a second @2,000rpm, pouring a couple of ounces of liquid is not nearly enough to hydrolock it. Plus, once it goes into the vacuum of the manifold, it gets pulverized into a mist. To really hurt an engine this size you would need to pour gallons of water into the throttle body at once. On a smaller engine like a mower or gokart, then yes you have to be careful with the amount you pour into it
Absolutely DO NOT use CRC intake valve cleaner on any GDI vehicle. Especially on Ford EcoBoost or VW GDI engines. Ford actually has posted a bulletin against chemical valve cleaning. Manual cleaning is the only way to go. CRC has had several cases of having to much carbon break off and causing valve and piston damage. And they dont take responsibility for their defective products. I may include that I'm a 20 year certified tech as well. I stay clear of CRC.
Sounds like CRC works !!!!!!! And we're here to hear what breaks up carbon, not top end damage caused by carbon ! Seems like the engineering process needs better engineers & the manufacturer needs better materials
I’m calling bs. Ford wants you to bring it in snd pay Ford to take apart the engine and walnut blast or manually scrape it off. Chunks of carbon don’t break off. The chemicals slowly dissolve the carbon into smaller particles and blow them out the exhaust. If it’s carbines up enough to be catastrophic then the chemicals wi t do anything to the carbon.
So top tier gas isn't good enough?
newest bear not if you have direct injection, on normal mpfi engines good gas w/additives it's way better
@@BadAssEngineering how do you clean them.
newest bear on a Direct Injection engine, you can't clean the intakes using better gas, check my other videos on how to do it for further hands on info
Today’s gasolines have plenty of detergent. The government is up the ass of these companies to produce clean exhaust systems. Techron is what Chevron uses in its gasolines and it is considered the best gasolines with detergent. Shell is number one for premium gasolines. If you toss in a bottle of Chevron every few months you should have no problem with your engine. Also clean oil is best oil. A Toyota engineer says he toss in Techron once in awhile maybe because of the hype but he says it’s not needed. Won’t hurt.
Ooo Polaris gonna be mad at you
They should be glad im promoting their products haha
Safety data sheets are legally public information
the best ones are nitrogen based
PolyEtherAmines are Carbon-Nitrogen Based
@@BadAssEngineering not all use polyether amines. some are petroleum based
@@makaiclearwater3811 mind sharing, suggesting such? Which you think are the good nitrogen ones.
Any vido you can't hear is USELESS !
Hmmm something must be wrong with your speakers or device. Lol.
Yes the music in the background makes it hard to hear the words ....for us old half deaf guys!
