Revive Engine Cleaner

[chiefnerd]

Came across this stuff and think I might give my car a good blast through with it in case the turbo and exhaust valves have any build ups, At the end of the day it's not going to do any harm and at worst I'll end up with a nice pressure sprayer for my alloys.

I cant see your car will be any differant from using that stuff all the build up if any be cleared out due to your hard driving , PS if its no good for your wheels could use it to water the plants

Lol... More bothered about getting any gunk of the exhaust valves and it apparently helps with that along with cleaning any oily residue in your intercooler

It (revive engine cleaner) will do absolutely nothing regarding any removal of settled carbon on the exhaust valves, due to the combustion process including the chemical cleaning additive introduced into the combustion chamber having taken place, furthermore any chemical cleaning additive introduced into a running engine especially a GDI (gasoline direct injection) will have no effect on any hard carbonisation build up on the backs of the inlet valves.

Here's why, a typical engine idles at 800RPM give or take fluctuations, that's crankshaft revolutions per minute, we then have a camshaft/s they revolve at half the crankshafts revolution speed, so that's 400RPM we then can divide the camshafts revolving speed of 400RPM into 60 seconds this will give us the opening/closing movements of the valve/s per second this equates to 6.66 opening/closing movements per second, you can now see that any chemical cleaning additive spends a very very brief amount of time in contact with the backs of the inlet valve/s and offers no cleaning benefit to the inlet valve/s!

I've used stuff its based on on big marine diesels and it does shift it although in no means anywhere like manual removal. Even cleans scavenge air manifolds.

At the end of the day, it's not going to do harm and if it can remove anything no matter how small the intercooler, blades and valves then I'm happy.

I'd save your money Chief !

To be perfectly honest it's the intercooler I want to clean but can't be bothered with the ballache of dropping down the bumper etc etc to get to it to give it a proper blow down. Hmmmm...I suppose at the end of the day I'm getting new one fitted soon anyway. I just miss redex lol

[Jamie@SPTuning]

There's more additive in normal pump fuel than there is in a can of redex lol
No matter how good the fuel additive is, it won't do nowt to the intercooler.
