Using CRC Intake Valve And Turbo Cleaner To Clean Up Carbon Buildup In My 10th Gen Honda Civic Si!

[@OZK-MTB]

I’d also recommend adding Ceratec to the oil! It’s big in the 5.0 community and I added it to my Si for kicks. Running 5w-30 and Ceratec and noticed a HUGE improvement in how the motor runs. The little 1.5 runs way smoother and less noisy. Try it out!

[@jesseperrella]

Okay, thank you for that!!

[@algladyou]

Is that like a ceramic oil?

[@GeekCulture101]

Ceratec is awesome though if you use the molygen oil liqui moly, it says ceratec isn't necessary. As it basically has it in it already

[@mightytechy1715]

Is 5W 30 engine oil is fine for Honda Civic 1.5 Turbo or 0w 20. Please let me know. 😊

[@ySwxg]

@@mightytechy1715Honda recommends 0w-20 so it’s best to go with that.

[@vermontvermont9292]

I started using the gumout intake valve and turbo cleaner foam. Good to have 2 people. I also run gumout PEA cleaner through the intake manifold. Been doing these cleanings since 20k, at 70k now on my 19.

[@xd40xbdcef]

Ive typically sprayed this right before the throttle body but now Im def going into the turbo because I know that intercooler and everything else has to be dirty.

[@jesseperrella]

Yeah i'm sure haha, this should help!

[@jesseperrella]

First. If anyone has any questions about this, let me know! Also the next video is the track day baby!!! We're gonna shoot for a way better time and hopefully not crash😬

[@IllegalC4]

Damn bro that is one quick lil SI

[@jesseperrella]

It's a bit faster now lol

[@allseeingeyezz]

KC is spiking because that stuff is still in the engine. do some higher RPM pulls to blow it out.

[@0MosDefinitely0]

This video is a godsend, I bought the Seafoam one last week, and am hesitant to put it in my SI as ppl in the CivicX forum said stay away from it.

[@john888]

Been using seafoam on my ek for years now. But I think I'll try this on my new car.

[@twincitiesdashcam9119]

Ok- dumb question- that cell phone (?) screen on the upper part of the windshield- is that connected to a bluetooth OBD scanner?

[@jesseperrella]

Its connected to the Ktuner OBD plug-in yeah.

[@twincitiesdashcam9119]

@@jesseperrella Cool- thanks!

[@paveljelinek772]

It takes a while to clean the rest of the spray out.. took 10km to me until it was ok, now it runs a little bit better, same mileage (5l/100 - 1.0TSi ECU mod to 140HP)

[@jesseperrella]

Awesome!!!

[@moneyseeker8886]

Sea foam is good too I put it in 500 miles before a oil change

[@jesseperrella]

I'm glad it works for you!

[@Marbind]

Is my understanding that Honda DI setup doesn't suffer from the carbon build up issues like other brands. In fact you don't see a trend in social or forums honda places about people having problem with it. Just remove spark plugs and see with a specialized camera if there is build up and then check later if this treatment did anything.

[@jesseperrella]

Hmmmm, I'll do the research again, thank you!

[@glitchisfluffy]

All clean for track day! I'm excited to see Luna back out there!!!

[@jesseperrella]

Its going to be way more action packed than the last time. Theres 11 cars in my class alone.. last time there was 4 cars in total, so there weren't any classes. Its going to be alot different than the last track day, and with hotter temperatures, but i'm gonna drive her harder this time and definitely set a faster time. Enough spoiling, you'll have to wait ;)

[@vermontvermont9292]

Bring back the summer

[@GeekCulture101]

Liqui moly also makes a additive to go in fuel thats specifically for direct injection i hear good things about. All their products have been great so i assume it is too. I have it coming going to use in my 10th gen hatch. Also do clean your maf sensor at least once or twice a year..especially if you push the car alot

[@jesseperrella]

Good to know!

[@toothlessthefc4394]

wont make a difference for the valves tho, the injectors dont spray fuel onto the valves in these engines

[@Memeroeee]

In my car the turbo is after the filter box and I’m wondering Does this product damage the turbo if you spray it direct to it ?

[@jesseperrella]

As far as i'm concerned, no, but maybe do more research on it. I've been fine after using it.

[@ProdByAce]

just subbed been watching for a min

[@jesseperrella]

Thank you brother🙏

[@Santosfilmm]

When you spray it do you have to put the intake back on? Or can you spray it without having to put it on ?

[@jesseperrella]

Leave it on when you spray it. You want the right airflow

[@GeekCulture101]

Just curious why you had to connect intake tube before spraying in. Seems be easier and directly spray in without. Maybe im missing something though

[@jesseperrella]

It'll mess up the air-fuel ratio.

[@GeekCulture101]

@@jesseperrella thanks for the info. You rock!

[@jesseperrella]

@@GeekCulture101 Always!

[@flim_flam_shrim_shram6653]

That knock your getting is spark knock due to carbon breaking off the valves. Completely normal. but you are supposed to drive the balls out of it after cleaning to get all the nasty out. My car did the exact same thing. cleared up after some hard pulls. gonna do it again after winter is over with an oil change right after.

[@jesseperrella]

Gotcha, good to know.. thank you! She drives strong now!

[@flim_flam_shrim_shram6653]

​@Jesse Perrella I couldn't tell from your video but if you don't have one get a catch can on the pcv side to catch the nasty oil particulates under hard acceleration and short drives. Prevents future carbon build up and power loss. Add w1 has good ones for 185$. Got one on my 2.5 tgdi turbo car.

[@jesseperrella]

@@flim_flam_shrim_shram6653 Thats a great suggestion, thank you!

[@EasySceeen]

I'm pretty sure it works a lot better if you spray it in the brake booster line

[@jesseperrella]

Theres alot of conversation about that but I never saw a definite answer on that.

[@EasySceeen]

​​​@@jesseperrella I've done the method you've shown here twice on my 10th gen civic and both times I didnt have good results. Where you spayred the crc it has to travel through several feet of piping, a compressor side of turbo and intercooler just to get to the intake manifold only then finally hitting the back of the valves which is the whole purpose of spraying the crc in the first place. You need to bypass all that unnecessary travel by spraying directly into the manifold via brake booster port keeping the crc atomized. In my case after both attemps of trying the method you've shown, after letting the crc heat soak and taking it for a drive my engine was bogging so bad it would stall and I barely made it home. Once back had to take my stock intake apart to drain most of the crc that had pooled blocking the air flow and never even making through my engine just wasted crc. Would be cool if you make new video with brake booster method so people know how to properly do it and not waste the crc on their 10th gen 👍

[@DB-sd3cw]

​@Patrick Bonneau did you spray it in small spurts or just dump the entire can in one go?

[@jesseperrella]

@@EasySceeen I'm not sure honestly as to why you had that problem, where for me it worked fine. Some variable isn't right between how we both did it. I can make a video on how to do it through the brake booster line in the future though once I do it again.

[@jesseperrella]

@@EasySceeen Also it wasn't a "waste" as apparently something went wrong. People with 10th gens have done it the way I have with no problem.

[@vermontvermont9292]

I use that all the time. Been using it since 10,000 miles.

[@jesseperrella]

Good to know, thank you!

[@vermontvermont9292]

@@jesseperrella check your throttle body too. I bet it's covered in gunk. If you haven't used the MAF cleaner yet try it. I typically do it 3-5x a year. It's super safe and simple to do. Plus you live where it will dry quickly. Just hose the MAF sensor itself down and let it fully dry. I'm sure crc has videos on KZbin showing how to use it, or other people using it.

[@Santosfilmm]

Im having issues with my fc3 going into limp mode do u think doing this will help ?

[@jesseperrella]

Man, I honestly don't know. Limp mode sounds more serious than carbon buildup in my opinion..

[@Santosfilmm]

Yeah its weird honestly cuz whenever i change my spark plugs the limp mode goes away but it then comes back and idk whats the reason of it i was thinking maybe cleaning the intake n filter and the maf sensor would help or even changing the the gap on the spark plugs would help but do you think thats help ?

[@Santosfilmm]

I have prl intake, DP/FP And im on ktuner basemap tune 19.5/23 psi could not being on stage 1 be affecting me as well

[@jesseperrella]

@@Santosfilmm The tune itself shouldnt do that, it may be a dirty MAF sensor or some sort of boost/vacuum leak😕

[@ElPinche97]

@@Santosfilmmmaybe your fuel injectors are clogging up

[@nYdGeo]

During the process, or on the drive afterwards, did you see a lot of extra smoke coming out of your exhaust? If not...

[@jesseperrella]

I never paid attention, but I believe you're referring to Seafoam. Seafoam is what causes alot of white smoke to come out the exhaust from what I know of.

[@nYdGeo]

@@jesseperrella oh, I was made to understand that it's not the spray at all, but all the petroleum residue and carbon burning off that smokes. I can't get any of it to work on my FK8, but on our other civics, I've used seafoam, CRC, and the STP kit with the timer, and they all smoked.

[@dalton8082]

Clean your MAF atleast twice a year.
