SEE!!! i told you guys water was a good decarbonizer!!!

 

Always has been. I've used it in my old 'carb cars' by disconnecting the downpipe, and spraying it in the carb while at high idle. Blows carbon chunks out the end. Modern gas is alot cleaner, so you generally don't get the chunks, and in the modern world of PCM's and fuel injection, you don't have the dieseling problems carbon buildup caused in the carbs, but you still get a film coating on everything, especially with PVC and EGR systems piping right back through your intake manifold.

You don't need to set up a WI system to use water for it's cleaning methods.....but we're getting off-topic here.

WI is a favorite topic of mine. Been playing with it for awhile, built 4 systems from scratch.

 

sorry to jack the thread, but i suggested that as a decarbonizer a while ago, but everyone thought it would hydrolock. its like" damn, not that much." just spray a little in the intake while the cars running with a spray bottle, itll take a lot of the carbon out. running a little (like an ounce or two in a whole tank" diesel can clean the fuel system too. i use a little when i make my octane booster.

 

You can't spray enough to hydrolock while the engine is running. If you keep it up, or your WI fails, and bleeds off while NOT running, then boom.

 

thank you for clearing that up.....NOW, BACK TO THE SUPERCHARGERS!!!! WHOO HOO!

 

on a turbo if you want bosst high you lower the compression because a lot of pressure is put on the pistons and rods, but what about in a supercharger? where does most of the pressure go and what can you do to protect from messing something up?

 

you lower the compresion to lower the final compression ratio. you use forged internals to withstand the higher cylinder pressures. and the motor doesnt care how the boost is coming in, the prep is mostly the same.

 

the supercharger and turbo act the same way on a motor (compression wise)

ummmm, this from a guy named after a shotgun......usually you wouldnt take it seriously, but .......
