How To REMOVE CARBON Build Up From DIRECT INJECTION Engines For $12

Рет қаралды 552,674

Күн бұрын

Removing carbon build up from your direct injection gasoline engine is easier than you might think! I'd always heard that you have to soda or walnut shell blast the valves after removing the intake from the engine, then go through a painstaking cleanup to remove the abrasive. I was Googling methods to remove carbon build up again this morning and came across this CRC product that works way better than I ever expected. Since we swapped the engine on the $1,500 Hyundai Veloster it's been great but there is a small shudder at idle that I couldn't fix even after replacing the plugs and swapping coils, this cleared it right up. Now it's time to do my Volt!

Anyone performing this intake valve cleaning needs to change the their oil immediately afterwards. This process will dump a huge amount of hard abrasive carbon into your oil. No, all of won't be blow out out the exhaust. The unburned fuel, soot and carbon will be washed past your pistons rings. How do I know. I did an oil analysis before and after. Hard Particulate matter skyrocketed and I had to change the oil twice to get levels back to normal.

That loud clack noise sounded like hydraulic lock. Problem with these head clean aerosol systems is that if you put in too much fluid at one time, or the additive pools on the intake manifold, the fluid could hydraulic lock the engine. Better to do the following - Never add the fluid to an idling or stationary engine. Engine at around 2500rpm Spray the additive in short spurts with at least 30 seconds between spurts, Add the fluid at the throttle body to ensure better atomisation and even distribution (minimise chance of pooling). After half a can, wait a few minutes before resuming the remainder of the fluid. Leave the engine at the same revs for at least 3 minutes Slow to idle and leave idling for 3 minutes. You can now switch off the engine to allow the hoses at the throttle body to be reassembeled Restart the engine and slowly increase revs to 2500rpm for one minute. . Next, go on the 20 minute road run. Do not exceed 2500rpm.

Emissions Testing, afterwards he commented about not believing the great results he got for such an old truck. Yeah, as you spray that product in you'll just have to manually adjust by hand the throttle RPMs, because the engine wants to shutdown if you don't. The oil will be dirty, but before the oil change try Seafoam in the oil crankcase (1 ounce per quart capacity). Drive 50 miles, then pull it in for an oil change. The Engine will purrs!

I used to own a 1.6L 2012 Accent GDI and when I used that additive, I learned that you need to be easy once the additive is empty, don't rev it up or you will get that knocking sound, so what I did after the first time is let it to heat soak for 10 mins then start it again and let it idle for 5 mins and then take it for a spin and go very gentle otherwise the knock may come back due to the combustion chamber full of an oily substance that can cause that sound and if you are very rough increases the chances of killing the engine in the long run and around 10-15 mins of driving the product will be gone and the knocking chances are reduced, FYI, when I heard that sound, I thought that I killed the engine. Also For those who don't know in all these additives when you see white smoke is not that you are burning carbon is the actual additive mixture that makes that white smoke, once that is burned along the carbon will disappear. I have used this one seafoam as well in very clean engines and white smoke will always show up, even with intake +Carb cleaner, is like if you were burning those barbeque starting fluid, smells bad and white smoke all over. If you use that additive at home and you own a Hyundai, be patient otherwise you will pickup another engine soon. Just my opinion.

I waited until I had a noticeable miss at idle on my direct injected vehicle, which was about 170k miles. I was surprised I didn't have an issue earlier, but I run top tier gasoline, which I think helps some. I pulled my intake manifold and spent a few days soaking and cleaning the valves with a variety of methods until I was happy. A LOT of carbon build-up came off the valves. Before re-installing the intake, I installed new OEM fuel injectors and seals. Once put back together, my car idled like new again (and still does).

What happens on these with the carbon cleaner is that when spraying into the manifold or a vacuum line, some of the cleaner tends to pool up in the intake manifold runners that aren't open (has variable intake runners, short and long for air velocity changes). When you rev it, the manifold opens the other set of runners and chugs the rest of the cleaner at once, can be bad if it's a lot of cleaner, but that's the smoke you saw. Kinda scary at first but hey, it works well.

I had a '76 Caddilac Eldorado that I purchased from original owner back in the early 90's ... the stuff came in a 16oz can and directions were simple ... warm up engine first then slowly pour half the can in while engine is revved to about 1500 rpm then dump the rest in till engine stalls ... turn off the ignition and let the car sit for 30 minutes to an hour tops ... that car had a four bbl Rochester with massive secondaries so when I opened them up and dumped in the last half can it flooded it and stalled ... Perfect ! we took a half hour break ... after puting the air cleaner cover back on we fired it up ... big black cloud of smoke poured from the pipes as we revved it to about 2500rpm for 15 minutes ... a short run down the hiway cleaned out the rest ... when I replaced the plugs later we could see the clean tops of the pistons ... even the worn out plugs were spotless ... 5000 lb. car with 500 Cu. In. engine, 425 HP with loads of midrange torque ... could comfortably seat eight people (no tunnel, FWD) even though there were only six seatbelts ...

Change your oil immediately, and do an engine flush if you don't have high miles if you plan to do this. I would not recommend it at all due to the possibility of cylinder washout, but it will work. Do NOT crank your engine under any circumstances before changing the oil. Make sure your engine is hot before you start this process, as it will allow a lot of excess gas to evaporate, and also allow the fluids to flow freely.

Do short bursts and allow the engine to burn it. Rod knocks don't temp reduce the rpm and then recover.....lol. A rod knock is mechanical and once it happens its "replace engine go time" in about all Hyundai's.

Seafoam spray does a very well job too.

@bigjon1558 Ай бұрын

I used this CRC on my 2011 Buick Regal twice and got more smoke the second time. She still kinda hesitates when throttling up. I just sprayed it in the air intake (post the maf of course). Would spraying it in the vacuum line produce better results?

@RodderFiles 4 жыл бұрын

dont think that would of worked on mine, just took the intake off the 00 exploder started squirt coolant out the back today. i had to scrape the carbon out of all the ports im pretty sure we filled the cup lots of hard chunks, 1st time i ever did upper an lower intake , gotta put back together tomor fingers crossed lol, im whipped now most the scrapage was done that or seafoam may doit good when im done, how dow you feel about seafoam?

@hotrodray6802 4 жыл бұрын

Try this. A large veterinary syringe needle stuck into the intake air hose and then spray the gloop into the needle. When done, either plug the needle for future use. If you remove it the hole will close up. Voila. Works for spraying starting fluid into gas or diesels.

Did you spray into the breather hose going to the intake side of the turbo? Or did you spray into the PVC hose going into the engine intake?

Port injection doesnt really need it though. The carbon on the valves in a gdi is due to the lack of fuel going over them to clean the PCV recirculation. Port injection sprays fuel on the valves keeping them clean.

it really would be nice to verify via visual inspection of the valves before and after instead of "assuming" you accomplished something.

I'd have just tried Chevron Techron Concentrate (concentrate plus, not the regular injector cleaner) first. Generally it does wonders smoothing and quieting GDI engines. And much easier. Hyundai, GM, BMW, and others all sell their own branded bottles of it for that exact reason. My most recent experience with it was a friend's IS-F that we noticed had gotten rather rattle-y sounding past 100k. I suggested he try it, and the next time I saw the car it was back to quiet and nice and buttery smooth again. Now he throws a bottle in once a year or so.

@todd1573 7 ай бұрын

I realize this is a 4 year old reply so I apologize. I just recently used this in my 2012 50k miles veloster.. would using the techron stuff do the same thing as what they did in the video?

@drcruelty 7 ай бұрын

@@todd1573 I wouldn't say same. But it will usually clean it and quiet it down without having to disassemble anything. At the least I'd try it before resorting to the level JR did here.

How would the valves get cleaned with only adding the Techron (or other fuel additive) to gas tank when the fuel never passes the valves in a DI engine???

@daveleighton4683 4 жыл бұрын

I have owned cars since the 1970's and on all the cars I've owned I have done the same thing as you using brake fluid. Rev the engine and mist it through a vacuum pipe until you see a ton of smoke out the exhaust. Switch off and leave for a couple of hours then drive as normal. There will be smoke until it burns off.

@camerond8176 4 жыл бұрын

Use water/mist and steam clean the valves and pistons does the same thing, but even better and it's free from the tap............................all the smoke in the video was pale oil, same used in Seafoam. Gives you the feeling of a good cleaning, but really nothing has been done, he'll be married to this stuff every 3-5k until he actually removes the intake and cleans it properly - If he even has the car long enough to do that.

If you use good Gasoline from reputable companies like Chevron, Shell and Arco, you don't need to worry about carbon build up in GDI engines.

If I were to use this on my 2000 Honda Accord V6 would it potentially solve the idle/stall problems? I recently replace the idle air control valve which was nice for a second but then went again. I’m hoping this might clear things up for it. Thank you

@myya8370 3 жыл бұрын

It definitely could. When there isn’t as much air intake due to the carbon deposit build on the intake valves, that can be a cause to idle/stall issues. Also, cleaning the MAPS or MAFS of your vehicle can help as well possibly 🌞
