Seafoam'd the 4Runner

Off the Seafoam topic, but how do you like the Supercharger? What was the HP boost?

**EDIT**
I forgot that it had it on there when you got it.

Right. I love it. And I don't know what the HP boost is exactly, I've never thought of dynoing it or anything. More specs/info here:

Back on topic... still looking for someone to point me in the right direction for the seafoam, kind of confused since there are like 4 hoses going to what seems to be the same place.
 
Seafomed my 4R :D

I seafomed my T4R this weekend. Only did the vaccum line and gas tank. Did not do oil yet, since I only have above 700 miles on this oil. I also went ahead and clean the MAF. Below are before and after pics of MAF and MPG (computer calculated). Thanks everyone for pics and ton of info :thanks:

kylebacc,

Stop looking at the intake and look at the pcv valve on the driver's side valve cover.

Pull this hose off the pcv and pour seafoam into it so it sucks it into the intake.

ok sorry i've never heard of doing this before, what exactly is it that you are putting in there? Sorry like i said i've never heard of doing this before. I'm thinkingi may do it this weekend since its about time for me to do it.
 
Did mine this afternoon.....HUGE smoke cloud!!! lol....mine has about 113,000 miles on it so it was way past time. I can tell it idles and runs much smoother. Thanks for all the tips.
 
Just did this today finally....found a different port as well. I made a lil straw plug type deal so I wouldn't have to worry about flooding n all.. will post pics tonight..

I did this today as well, putting about half in my gas tank (which was at about 1/3 full) and a little over a 1/3 in the vacuum line.

I let it sit for about 10 minutes and started it up. Upon doing so, there was a very small, barely noticeable amount of smoke (almost like starting on a cold day). Revved it and all with no additional smoke so I took it on the freeway and back and forth between 60 and 90 for about 10 miles. No smoke.

I do think it idles smoother and it might just be mental but feels to run a little smoother but the lack of smoke made me wonder if it did much at all. I have 56,750 miles on it currently.

that just means it was clean.
 
well thats good too! although i didnt get the smoke and thus not need it as much as others, i do want to let people know that doing this appears to have fixed my sulfur smell, FINALLY!

I've had the TSB for the cats done and gotten both replaced (in separate visits). The last replacement actually smelled worse than before! after the sea foam, it seems to be gone! flooring it with the back window down, no sulfur smell!
 
you want to pull the hose on the front side of the vsv valve as shown

View attachment 43402

To be clear, because I'll be the guy the pulls the wrong hose and destorys half a city block, its the circled hose. Not the hose that is coming towards you. It the left hose under the cover, correct? And do I feed the hose, or that housing it connects to?

Also based on the what the can says and what I've read here, here's my plan;
1/2 can engine, 6oz oil when I'm 40mi from an oil change, and full can in the tank with the next full bag of gas.

Good to go?
