I used this on my Veloster N and it made a big difference. The idle was turbine smooth and the engine response improved quite a bit. I do run a catch can, but keep-up with maintenance. When I was running it after the heat soak I forgot how good it sounded at 70 mph, in fourth gear and with the exhaust wide open.
Thank you for the valve cleaning video of the 2.3 ecoboost. I have a 2021 Ranger and have been looking for exactly your style instructions. Don't know why your video never poped up until year later you published it. Thanx again.
Great video.
Most sources say not to spray intake cleaner in these cars because a chunk of carbon can fling off into the turbo blades and wash out the oil from the turn bearings. At least with the spray the chunks would mostly be dissolved. If we don't clean the top of the intake valves eventually a dry chunk of carbon will fling off into the turbo blades.
Thanks for sharing the maintenance tip, Kirk! Can you make a video listing all of the modifications you have described me to the car and what you would/wouldn’t do to your HPP Mustang
Thanks for this video! I just got my ecoboost mustang and I love it! about 10k miles higher than yours was here, so I think this is a trick I ought to try. It boosts fine and it runs fine, but occasionally it feels lazy. I bet this will fix that right up.
I just finished up using the cleaner. Let the car heat soak for an hour and drove it aggressively. I didn't notice any smoke or hiccups but I did see a lot of negative ignition correction on all cylinders on my first pull. Also noticed a lot of soot on my exhaust tips. So I guess it worked? Will see.
Also took my manifold off and peeked at the valves. They didn't look too bad but cyl 1 and 2 had the most build up.
Good to know that your visual inspection confirms the products effectiveness.
@@KarzKreatedI used the crc cleaner in my 2016 ford mustang and seen white smoke come out the back but then it started making a ticking noise so I replaced the fuel pump the sound is still there but it’s not as loud as it was
@@revelationrhymesvlogs4761yeah I've the same experience, after spraying it started making a ticking noise, shit is bad for you engine, best way is walnut blasting fo sho
I’ve used this on my 2019 Honda CR-V 1.5 Turbo every second oil change and it works really well!
Your videos are very helpful. I’m a new ecoboost owner and am very meticulous about certain things and it seems you are the same way.
Well I try to be at least lol
I just bought a 2018 ecoboost..do you run additives in oil and coolant
Watching this video and seeing the background while driving l realized l knew where this is. Been through that area several times. Not located that far from you. I'm in Dunnellon area. Good video.
🤟😎
I was just in Dunnellon yesterday! 😄
Very good video Sir, thank you!
Looking forwad to getting my first Ecoboost someday😎👍👍
Glad I watched the tip after pulling & pulling the tight other way. This is good on a 2016 VW Jetta se TSI?
I need a turbo clean out.
It should work fine for any GDI engine as the product implies.
Did you flush the diff? I don’t know about the trans oil change intervals but I’ve had such a good experience changing the diff fluid every 30k miles.
Not yet. I'll probably get around to that this year, along with trans fluid & filter. I just wish I had a better and safer way to get the car in the air. I may look into a set of portable lifts to make life easier.
@@KarzKreatedI did it on Jack stands. It’s a bigger headache to do the engine oil change on the 5.0 because of where the filter is. I always end up paying someone. If I had your set up I would be doing a lot of my suspension myself.
@@KarzKreated ramps are the safest bet imo
That’s crazy, I wasn’t aware that this was a maintenance product. My eco is a 2017 with a little under 100,000 miles with no catch can. I wonder how much build up my engine has at this point 😂
Yeah, it's pretty good stuff. Not sure if I would recommend using it on your car at this point. Large chunks of carbon can break off and cause damage. But using it every 20k miles on a new car will help keep carbon from building up to a problematic point.
@@KarzKreatedIm glad I read this reply before do it, mine is 2015 with 100k as well
Did you do any upgrades or changes to make it last that long
@@KarzKreatedseafoam melts carbon away not breaks it off idk about what he used
@@joseomarroblesmartinez1750so what have you done to clean it? Because I’m a lil over 100k
I used this on my Acura TSX 09 and my goodness out of all cleaning products this shit is the best and I recommend everyone doing this to your car I swear to gad my hp increased and the thing runs and starts up like a fucking dream I’m still shook I’m going to run another can before before my next oil change
Doing that did it clea. The turbo or just the valves
what would you recommend to a new owner to a used ecoboost 2020 no catch can 70k miles?! I know the carbon deposits could damage components but I want to get everything clean now while I can to keep it maintenenced!
Something with higher mileage, I would recommend walnut blasting before this product. The CRC cleaner works well, and you could definitely use it. As you know, there's an increased risk with some larger carbon deposits not dissolving and potentially damaging valves or the turbine wheel.
So the way you did this it'll clean the turbo as well? Or is that a different method and I'll need to buy another can of this? I'm kinda ignorant when it comes to cars. Thanks
Yes. When it gets sucked in, some of it will pass through the exhaust valves to the backside of the turbo.
@@KarzKreated okay great
yes it well as soon as a good size chunk of carbon get past your valves and into the turbo blades.. you will get a nice shinny new turbo... oh yes... you will buying a new turbo
Am I good to do this? And maybe install a catch can? I just bought a 2015 EcoBoost with 59,000 miles. I want this car to run as long as possible. I saw the comment about it being risky if there is already carbon buildup. What are your thoughts?
The risk only gets higher as miles go up. If you feel comfortable using the product, now is the time to do it. I do firmly recommend a catch can to limit build up.
The product softens and dissolves the carbon so how could a big hard chunk break off? If it does it is soft and passes through the turbo fine
catch can / aka oil vapor separator will be your best way to keep the oil off the back of the intake valves and not cooking it into hard carbon
and if this fail,, this ' expert' will gladly pay for the repairs @@KarzKreated
Is this safe to use? I have a 24 ecoboost and it just hit 10k.
It's generally considered a safe product to use. I've used it on multiple vehicles with no issues. Just be sure to follow the directions 😉
What doesn't WORK: Spraying a CLEANER into a hot running motor will clean the oil off the piston cylinder walls, damaging rings and scoring the walls. YUP, but your valve backsides still won't be clean. PS: Donn't forget to race that engine after a thorough clean, it helps to increase the cylinder damage. Borescope your engine, if you don't believe me.
Will it smoke? Hell yeah and a lot of it.
My eco boost has 25,000 miles on it. Will it be safe to use this product, or is it too late?
That's a great mileage to start using this product 👌
@@KarzKreatedthanks man! Love your channel
I've never done this and want to do it now but my car is at 106k miles at this point so I think this would be my solution. Is walnut blasting safer for my car at this point or what would you recommend to clean my valves
At your mileage, walnut blasting is definitely safer and more effective if you're willing to have the service done.
@@KarzKreated ok thanks for your response.. this service wouldnt be available at a dealership would it?
Some do. You would have to call around to verify. Most dealerships offer a chemical based induction cleaning service.
@3:09 What is that little thing called?
I have a 2015 ecoboost with 92k on it. I’ve changed the fuel injector pressure sensor, evap purge, cleaned throttle body and replaced sparks. I have an exhaust leak I need to repair but I’m losing so much power and having so much lag into shifting I feel like it’s gotta be something more.
I’m not comfortable using this method because I’m certain it’s never been done before and I’m scared of sending a carbon meteor through my turbo.
Is there any other way I can clean the carbon out without spraying this directly into the car while it’s running??
Doing this likely won't fix the problem you're having. It almost seems like your car is in limp mode?
@@KarzKreatedsame here but without the leak
i work in a shop.. nation wide.. we were not too sure about this.. so we asked around for a car from our shop techs to find a gdi car.. no turbo.. to test it on... we found a car.. so we took the intake manifold off, took some photos.. best we could... followed the instructions on the can to the letter... after this we took off the intake manifold.. no difference... we put the manifold back on 500 miles later... we did the same thing. .no change...1000 miles on change.. then after a long wait..2000 miles no change.. all the carbon was still on the intake valves..... folks the carbon on the intake valves are baked on...we did scrape some carbon off at the 2000 mile mark.. still hard deposits on the valves.. folks its snake oil.. it does not work,, so we stopped selling the treatment at our store.. your best bet.. to slow the deposits down a oil vapor separator. in line with your pcv hose..if you do this as soon as you buy the car..or the carbon on back of the valves are still low... the ovs.. well help a heck of a lot
That's what I've heard too. So catch can or nothing besides eventual walnut cleaning?
yes...on the ovs.. and over time... the carbon build up will lesson over time...if you are handy with tools and very patient.. you can do this yourself@@DominiAeternum
This stuff does work, you are wrong. Of course if it's completely baked on you will need walnut cleaning. But for preventive maintenance this is a good idea.
You are 100% correct. We have noticed the same. Best thing is good synthetic Oil changed every 5k miles with the filter and tier 1 gasoline.
I got a used 60k mile 2020 premium eco boost mustang. It was a one owner car and looked decently maintained in the carfax report. Other comments say you shouldn’t do this if you didn’t get a catch can early. How should I tackle this maintenance then? Thank you in advance for you advise and videos!
The concern is large chunks of carbon breaking off and damaging a valve, piston, or turbine wheel. If you want to use the product, my suggestion is to only use half a can at first then wait a few weeks and finish the can so it's more gradual and not all at once. That will reduce the chances of large carbon deposits from dissolving.
@@KarzKreated thank you for your reply. I don’t have many tools but if I follow you same procedure and don’t clear the engine codes (because I do t have a device for that) will my car have an check engine light until I do? I am very new at car maintenance so thanks a ton for the info
If you do it my way by disconnecting the throttle pedal, you will have a permanent error code until it's cleared. If you don't have a code scanner, you can always go to an Autozone, Advance Auto, O'Reillys, and they can check and clear the code for free. The car should still drive with the code present.
@@KarzKreated thank you a ton!
How early is early? What is the mileage cutoff for doing this safely?
Kirk i would like to know how you took of that hose that sits on top of the throttle body
I think there's a special tool for those weird clips but I use two flat head screwdrivers and very carefully wiggle the clip out. The plastic on those clips are usually very brittle and often brake so take your time to remove it. But once you pull that plastic clip out, the hose will pop off.
@@KarzKreated thanx bro
@@KarzKreated
So pull that red clip out then just pull the hose off?
i just got a mustang ecoboost 2018 with 50k miles on it. can i still do this on my car? im scared there is a lot of carbon buildup and will ruine the engine. ecomboom anxiety lol
I just got my 2018 ecoboost bro 70k miles I hope my shit good
exhaust valve????
Instead of unplugging the throttle sensor, I just set a 10 pound dumbbell on the gas pedal 😂
Hey, what ever gets the job done! 🙂
I took a set of tree/garden clippers the really long ones and stuck it between the seat and the pedal then moved the set forward
I have 53k miles I put a catch van on maybe at 40k would you still recommend using this product
Yes I do recommend it. I would only use half a can at first then wait a couple of weeks to use the second half. Just a precaution so you limit the chances of big pieces of carbon breaking off and potentially causing damage.
Kirk do you want to play modern warfare 2 with me? Open beta is live now
Isn't it remastered? I'm so out of the loop when it comes to video games 😅
How is your turbo doing 8 months later?
Perfectly fine as far as I know. No noticeable problems that I can tell. 🙂
@@KarzKreated Seems like there's a TH-cam "Mechanic" claiming it's horrible for the Ecoboost and it's got the Mustang forums on fire.
@@ironreed2654 well there's been instances where large chunks of carbon would break off and damage the fins on the hot side wheel. But that's a risk higher mileage cars would have a if they have never had the valves cleaned. Which TH-cam mechanic is fussing about it?
You would never have to do this at 30k miles. Maybe every 100k.
Dude doin 80 in 50 road
😱
Bro is still wearing masks 😭
watched your video.. tell me , were is your proof? no before or after photos of the valves...just your ' feelings ' show your proof'
You have absolutely said nothing except talk talk.Could you just get to the point
Or you can just skip through the video. TH-cam made it very easy and convenient 👌
These videos are useless if no before and after pictures, just saying
4 cylinder Mustang?? 😂😂😂
I bought a new one for my daughter and its bad ass!
Tesla will kill so delicious sound😢
Fake mustangs have problems
*ALL* Mustangs have problems
DO NOT BUY an ecoboost!!! Any of them! Trust me!
Why I have no issues with mine ? I use full synthetic oil and 91 plus octane top tier gas all the time still runs like a champ
I know many ecoboost with well over 200 thousand miles
It looks like u have the performance package; those are the good mustangs 🦾
Even if it is an ecobust, lol!
