View Full Version : Sea Foam Intake Treatment 03 Marauder
Black Machine
09-27-2014, 09:02 PM
Did the Sea Foam treatment on my 03 Marauder today. I went the spray can route. I pulled the plastic pcv valve tube that connects to the right side of the intake and covered the opening of the tube with duck tape. I then poked a pin hole in the end of the taped opening to lessen the amount of vac loss during the process,...I really did not want want to throw a code. I then placed the little red tube that came with the Sea Foam in the pin hole, connected the tube to the can of Sea Foam then blocked off the pcv valve opening. After starting my car I carefully sprayed about 6/8's of the can into the intake then shut the car off for 15 mins. After starting her back up, I took it out to the highway a blew her out. It smoked and ran a little stumbly for the first 3 mins while it was exhaling all of the dissolving varnish, crud and excess Sea Foam. However after it was all cleared out,...I could feel WAAAAAAAAAAY more bottom end grunt and mid range pwr. RPM recovery between shifts is alot faster and the motor just feels more crisp. Kinda like the difference in how a car pulls on a 30 degree day vs how it would pull on a 90 degree day. Air temp on the coast today was a pleasant 80. I highly recommend this procedure to all my fellow Marauder owners.:banana2:

I prefer to use the liquid Sea Foam. What you don't use you can add to the gas tank.

Well, I found out by installing a JLT catch can it has minimized the dirty intake issue.[ personal observation] also I have used Sea foam ,poured slowly into the vacuum line from the brake booster with the engine running at about 12 hundred rpm.-did a great clean up job.:burnout:

Vortech347,...it actually does work quite well. The air/oil seps are also very effective. I had a 93 Mustang a Eddy Performer RPM Intake that had the removable plate on the drivers side. I would take the plate off twice a year to clean the oil residue out of it. That crap really makes cars sluggish in summer months when you need every octane point to count. After installing the air/oil sep, the intake would have little to no oil residue inside of it. I have two of them on my 10 sec. 87 Coyote Swapped Mustang Coupe. The Sea Foam Treatment works,...I did last my Marauder last Sat and wow. I have never tried water or brake fluid to clean the inside of the intake,...but if Fast Black Merc says it works, than I am a believer. I have had great results with 2 + 2 and CRC throttle cleaner for cleaning throttle bodies and IAC's

Water or brake fluid won't clean the intake, it will clean the carbon out of the cylinders. Used to pour it down the carburetor.

Using a bore scope before and after I showed ZERO difference on the piston top. Didn't remove a damn bit of anything.
The minor amount of oil build up doesn't really effect anything on a mostly stock, non modified car. If you're boosted and you are running on the ragged edge with crappy fuel and within 1* of timing for destruction and you would still need a pretty significant amount of oil to start having issues. But if it makes ya sleep better at night and the subliminal butt dyno says "OMG!" then go for it. But its a waste of money.
Personally the best looking pistons/valves I've ever seen on an engine that had 20k+ miles on it was a my fox or other with Meth/water injection. Also blown head gaskets putting coolant in the chamber also cleans things up pretty good too. haha.
On my fox I made life easy, PCV system gone. Zero ability of any oil into the intake. Breather on a catch can.

My car feels way better,...thats a fact Jack! Open element breathers smell. I cannot stand that oil vapor smell. Gives me a headache. Have not tore into the 4.6 in Marauder and I hope that never have to,...but I did do a couple cylinder changes on my push rod 5.0 and the amount of oil, carbon, varnish on the valves and piston tops was next to none. Not a waste of money at all,...

Its in your head. Show me a before after dyno and then I'll be a believer. But if it makes you feel warm and fuzzy great.
But like I said. Using an HD borescope before/after showed ZERO, again, ZERO changes.

My car went a 14.98 @ 94.7 mph in April of this year. With no mods,...just cleaning the intake and throttle body,... same car same track, same tires and same 1/2 tank of fuel, it went 14.81 @ 95.6 mph this past Sun. HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THAT SHERLOCK??? IE. Vortech347. I know what I feel and the beams don't lies. So have fun playing with HD borescope and such things but in the end,....MY CAR RUNS BETTER AFTER USING SEAFOAM TO CLEAN THE INSIDE OF THE INTAKE. PS: It did a wonderful job cleaning the intake and intake runners on my pushrod v8. I guess you going to tell me that I didn't observe that as well huh??? If you don't like it, then don't buy it. I do like it, and I will continue to use it every 365 days.

Black machine: way too many variables to say it took time off the 1/4 mile.....temperature, humidity, track surface, etc.....the closest real world result would be if you did the treatment, at the track, after your first couple runs. I do however like seafoam, and im not saying it didn't make a difference, but you cant call a faster time because of seafoam.....yet.

Both morning were chilly,...I had to where a hoody on both days. I have been racing mustangs for almost 20 yrs. I have a N/A Mustang that runs mid 10's and pulls down 25 mpg. I know all about temp, humidity, track temp, head wind etc... no rookies here. I am the type of guy that scouts the weather out on the weather channel and goes to the track on the best possible times. Both runs were made on nice crisp mornings and I am always one of the first cars in line when passes start @ 11am. And this isn't about et and mph. This is about a car that was starting to feel a little lazy and less crisp. What I am telling you guys is that running Sea Foam through the intake and cleaning the T/B with 2+2 brought back some of the cars performance greatly help with off the line accel. The car runs a little stronger!!!! That was my original objective to start with. Anybody who's Merc is feeling a little sluggish out there,...try it out and let us know how it works for you. Have good day gentlemen, time to hit the gym.

Well Sea Foam does have its plusses as far as Intake cleaning, however there is a U tube video that showed a intake valve [ did not specify what type of auto] that was soaked in Sea foam for 24 hours and minimal residue was removed from the valve, now a similar valve was soaked 24hrs in a major brand injector cleaner [add to fuel type like chevron] and it removed most of the crud off of the intake valve . I know we are comparing oranges and clementine's, and Sea foam is one of the few companies that makes the intake spray set up [convenient] and the tank additive as well . A old Ford tech showed me some years back to disconnect the vac line from your brake booster and slowly poor a good quality injector cleaner very slowly in that intake vacuum line with the engine revved up to 1000 rpm and that will clear up the intake issues from that end [throttle body still needs service though] and in many cases this has canceled the ox sensor code. :beer:

Yes sir - the Diesel fuel is a wonderful thing ,Years back [long ago] I had a 89 Acura legend v6 with a slight lifter tap 36,000 miles, lease turn in shipped from Pauley /Acura Chicago , I added a quart of diesel fuel to the crank case ran it about 5 minutes and drained everything out [automotive Enema] new oil and new filter... ,quiet as a Mouse at idle and chirped tires going to second on occasions. traded it on Zu ZU Rodeo at 130,000 miles /the Ho- sailor kept it another 2 years for his ole lady then he unloaded it [ slight exhaust smoke ]

Yes of course Sea Foam is a waste of time and money. The more you know about engines...I mean really know about engines (Years of school-decades of working on them everyday for a living) you know it can't work in making your car run better as far as more power.
People who convince themselves that their car runs and accelerates better are people who are that just don't get it.
I can't tell you how many times in my 37 years of diagnosing and repairing cars FOR A LIVING i have had this conversation with people who were sure their Slick 50/Tornado intake device/Sea Foam/Yellow spark plug wires/ Super coils and lighting candles and saying prayers.
Running a .10 difference on a different day means nothing.
Explain in detail why it would work.
But then again...NOT MY CIRCUS - NOT MY MONKEES

Worked for me. I didn't go to school for it,..but I have been working on my own stuff since age 16. Top end, bottom end, etc...I love how some of you guys on here try to convince people of what they feel or don't feel from the vehicle that they drive everyday. Thats like me,...a top level bodybuilder telling a novice that a particular supplement is junk just because it didn't work for me. I know plenty of guys, automotive professionals, that swear by the stuff,...it works for me and in the end thats all that really matters. Oh,...and for the record, I am not big on snake oils and the like and I run autolite and motorcraft plugs in all off my Fords. LOL

Lots and LOTS of variables here since many of you are 2nd, 3rd and 4th owners of cars that just may not be in very good shape when you got 'em so I suppose you can and want to feel improvements!!:beer:
For me, I drove my car off the lot NEW in November 2003 with about 6 miles on the odometer and NOTHING has improved the performance except an aftermarket tune while NA and of course the ProCharger...period!!:shake: Since I'm on the equivalent of a "Return Trip From The Moon" mileage-wise I think I know this car pretty well!!:D
I've tried colder plugs, colder thermostat, CAI, SeaFoam, and lots of additives with no real positive results but hey, if you feel improvements then go for it.....it's your car and your money!!:beer:
Just don't try to convince me I'm wrong about this!!:rolleyes: :shake:

10-13-2014, 09:57 AM
Are you guys saying carbon build up is a myth and won't cause a noticeable performance difference? Because my Motorcycle for example requires a valve clearance adjustment every 20k miles or so, and I never did it until I hit 34k. Half of the valves were out of whack and after adjustment, there was a significant increase in low end throttle response(likely more noticeable on a small motor). I'd imagine carbon build up would also screw up clearances thus negatively affecting performance.

Tell you what,...take two unmodified Marauders w/similar mileage that have never had their intake or throttle body cleaned or intake seafoamed. Clean the throttle body and run seafoam through the intake on one and don't touch the other car. Run each cars 0-60 and 1/4 mile twice, run the treated car before and after seafoam and I bet it's improve will improve whereas the untreated car will not. Yeah Vorty 347,...I have a coyote in sweet little mustang coupe. If your are ever out on the east coast bring what you got and we can line em up. You'd be amazed how quick it is!!!

Line em up? Since when did talking about the validity of a snake oil product turn into a "check out my weenie" Just because you put a crate motor in a fox (like 600000 other people have done) doesn't mean you know all.
I used a bore scope, before and after. NADA....ZERO difference.
You could line up two cars next to each other both off the showroom and one would be faster.

I never ever said that I know all,...what I am saying is that my car runs better and idles smoother. You, Vortech347 are being very arrogant in saying that the process is a waste of time and money ; the mere accusation that I am imagining the better acceleration and performance reinforces my belief that your are in fact an over overly opinionated want to be know it all. I have done a visual inspection of a 5.0 F/I Edelbrock Intake, the amount of varnish and gunk removed was significant!!! I will trust my own eyes and seat of the pants feel over your bore scope any day of the week.It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that a car with a clean t/b and intake will have a zippier feel to it. SORRY IF I MADE YOUR WEENIE FEEL SMALL BY MENTIONING MY OTHER CAR,...I kinda used to that though,...I am a bro you know!!! As far as my stang,...it way more than a crate engine in a car. Alot of people have done it,...but not alot are as quick as mine,...ie suspension, tune, driving.

Hmm, interesting....Hey 347....do you use Bg products or anything like them at your shop? We do, as you are supposed to according to many manufacturers...Saturn was one of the first ones we could prove that the "snake oil" worked on. We use a NAPA product here to clean out injectors and fuel systems with huge results (try late 90's / early 2000's 3.1 GM injector issues)...your bore scope may have shown nothing on the tops of the pistons but what about the injector tips? How about behind the valve? You can't see this area with a bore scope...I know because we have one. You can def feel the idle difference in a car that has say 75,000 miles on it, fresh tune and an intake / fuel system cleanse done to it. I agree that it more than likely did not make his car run a tenth faster but smoothness and response would be improved.
Gotta be honest, you also hate Aeromotive fuel pumps (you have stated this many times on here) and we have used them for years with NO issue at all. All of these situations are strictly opinions though on all sides, getting into a pissing match is pretty stupid...guess what...thats my opinion as well...so...

As I have stated several times,...car runs better,....accelerates better and idles better. If I pick up a couple H/P from a can $10 can of solvent,...AWESOME!!!! I will say it again for those of you with reading problems,...MY CAR RUNS AND IDLES BETTER AFTER CLEANING THE THROTTLE BODY AND INTAKE WITH SEA FOAM TREATMENT. I never said that I picked up 10 or 20 H/P. As for lunch money,...you can keep it,...I am a bodybuilder,...we prepare all of my meals.
Watch out everyone, he's a body builder too.

Wow, Sea Foam is worth a tenth, so if I use 10 cans I'll get one whole second!
Yeah......that makes sense.
Not my circus, not my monkeys.
LMAO!
Now that is the epitome of Ricer logic!
Don't forget that mo' betta' stickers and vortex generators on your roof each add 100 HP!
Now back to the bickering concerning SeaFoam!
Oh...BTW: I have used SeaFoam on several of my cars, and I did get, what I thought, was a smoother idle.
Suck 3/4 of a bottle into the warmed intake through the PCV hose until the engine stalls.
Pour remainder into gas tank.
Let soak 30 minutes.
Fire it up, go run several WOT pulls.
My real reason for using it is because I could literally WIPE OUT the neighborhood with the smoke screen coming out of my vehicle's tailpipe!!!.....:eek:

I put some in the wifes rum and coke and she ran better. A little smoking out of her tail pipe and she tacked up faster....

I used it once, owned the car since new, can't tell you if the car was any faster but it certainly seems to respond better/run better.
Recently my mechanic gave me a fuel pump lubricant for my Suburban, whenever the truck got lower than a 1/4 of a tank it wouldn't restart. Came in a large plastic syringe, he told me use that and E85 and it should start working again. After 500 miles I can now go back to almost empty and the car starts. Interesting
