DarmoZ Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Used 10K boost (spray can through the air intake) On 3 seperate cars including the Zed. A ton of crap came out the back of the two ford focuses, not as much crap came out the Zed when I used it at 74K miles, which leads me to think that the previous owner was using V-Power regularly or has used a cleaner himself before. Anyway, noticed a huge difference on the two ford's in terms of acceleration and power, noticed little difference with the Zed. Iv'e also used Cataclean (put down the fuel tank) on the Zed. This one gave me a much a smoother idle, and the emmission figures at MOT test came in Low, so it's done something good. Iv'e got some Halford voucher taking up space in my wallet so looking to try a different brand soon, iv'e heard the Lucas Oil brand is the best one out there from two separate mechanics. And many dealership garages use BG44K when they service vehicles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarmoZ Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Anyone used the seafoam product, gets good reviews Dont touch it , its rubbish , have seen it wreck engines It's effective, so effective in fact that it can also be dangerous, either avoid, or use it carefully. An alternative would be Terraclean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobPhoboS Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I sometimes use BG44K. Do some searching, it's pretty good, a little bit of snake oil and a little bit of what it says on the tin (imho). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to do some more research, so far iv'e read that it can't fully clean all areas of the engine if it's direct fuel injection, which leads to my question is the 2004 VQ35DE Multi-Port or Direct? EDIT: It uses SFI (Sequential Fuel Injection) which is just a more efficient version of Multi-Port according to Z Wiki: http://www.350z-tech...hp?title=VQ35DE Edited March 15, 2016 by DarmoZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeybrain1234 Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Think I will avoid doing any of these things and just keep using Vpower religiously. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
