Subaru Upper Engine Cleaner review...

[Andrew]

All done and everything went well.

I'm a little disappointed that we didn't fill the street with smoke although that is good I suppose

I also put replaced the old Iridium plugs with some new ones along with changing the oil and all seems to be running very throughout the entire rev range.

Funny thing was whilst using the Subaru cleaner my car started to sound like a Subaru boxer engine -

Not much smoke at all! Thanks for taking the time to video it. So you give this product the thumbs up?

No worries

Yes.

I will have to take the car for more of a drive tomorrow and see how it performs, a cold start will also be interesting.

Even prior to the oil and changing the plugs the engine felt alot smoother and idled better.

These are the instructions on the can, bring the car up to running temp, then turn it off. Spray half of the can into one of the lines going to the manifold.

I'm assuming I use the same intake to the manifold for the NA8 as showned on this NB photo?

I just bought a can of the stuff. I'll give it a go on the weekend when I can get a hand doing it (the whole putting the stuff in the engine at the same time as keeping the engine alive sounds challenging if doing it alone).

Not really, I just grabbed the throttle with one hand and sprayed with the other.

That said, an extra person will make it easier again.

:facepalm:
That'll do it. Then again, I was also going to clean my air filter whilst I was at it, so having some company whilst I wait around for it to dry won't go astray.

Oh yeah, Andrew, which hole did you use to put the cleaner through?

The one that goes to the brake booster

Make sure you post a video as well

Hmmm... I don't know which one that is

I'll try and remember to do some video. I'm currently without camera, and the camera on the phone is rather rubbish.

Cool, thanks

I suppose it's 50/50 really isn't it?

yep.

These two locations are also good, right after the throttle body. Probably end up with a better amount of the cleaner to the individual cylinders & more of the intake manifold will get cleaned too.

Throttle body cleaner spray also will do the same job as the Subaru stuff.
