Going to run a can of this through my BL5. I'm actually having trouble finding a vacuum line... The bl5 has a plastic looking intake manifold so looks different to the pics here.

Is the very small line going to the top of the factory BOV a vacuum line I can use? What about the large brake booster vacuum line?

the small vacuum line that goes to the BOV will do for Upper engine cleaner, that heads into the inlet manifold (well does in my car at lest

Neither did mine, mine just let a puff out and that was it haha

i was at sti-type r's house when we did his...very disappointed, was hoping to smoke out the st....seen my people mover produce more smoke...

[Guest boostin]

Big Dave's Foz cranked a bit out.

[astrae]

Did a can this morning. Was highly disappointed... No smoke at all, nothing. Just stunk a little bit. Must have been pretty clean which is good.

Going to try a BH5 GTB next weekend. Should be a bit dirtier.

[Guest keltik]

Did a can this afternoon for the first time since ive owned the car. I know it says use ANY vacuum hose....but dont use the brake booster vac hose on a H6 as the whole contents end up in one cylinder and your motor hydrolocks.

Then you have to spend far too long removing the air filter housing and other pieces so you can remove the spark plug from the locked cylinder and drain the oily crap out of it.

I believe im the first person to Hydrolock a motor using the upper engine cleaner.

Anyways i got it done properly in the end using the crankcase breather line. Smoked quite a lot. Car seems to run at least as good afterwards

[Guest boostin]

No you're not. I've done it at least twice at work.

In manuals, stick it in 3rd and push the car back a few metres. It all drains out the open exhaust valve.

[Guest keltik]

Wow i just realised how much of a dumbass i am. I tried pushing the car backwards in gear but it didnt work....now i know why. I was in reverse

[Bazza-NZ]

I'll post up the results of a DIY day, Going to get the boy around to mine with a can of Upper Engine Cleaner and doing there cars will be interesting in seeing what actually comes out

I did mine about 6 months ago and man the amount of smoke was incredible

am keen on getting this done.

i read somewhere that its recommended to get an oil change after using the can. is this accurate?

now, gotta find a place in chch where i won't attract attention with white smoke..

[KwS]

i just did it in front of my garage. the smoke clears pretty quickly.... just dont open the garage and walk straight into it after you have done the clean, without airing the garage out.

The fun part was giving it a boost down the street afterwards. mega smoke screen the first time.
