pestey Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 Just a quick update, but wow! Lift feels more aggressive!!! Left a Ibiza gti and a new 320i standing at the lights hit lift one very gear change and I was gone, let's just say I got a very big smile on my face from that but a ever bigger one when the guy in the 320 followed me back to my. Dithers house and stated asking me if it was modded, my reply was........ Sorry but no it ain't just a 190 standard, he could not believe it!

pestey Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 another update, got back from London at 320mls on the clock and still have 3 bars left on the tank. now bearing in mind i have been doing some licence taking speeds over the last few days (100mph+) and i or the forum do not condone this! but to have done this and still have 3 bars on that mileage for me is a serious plus!!! next tank will be better coz i'm back at work lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hyper-wrap Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Good lad.......... Come on Hyper Jon buy a can!!!!! I'm waiting on the free one you promised me a few pages back!!! I'm contemplating sea foam as that makes your car fart out grey and black shit, so has me more convinced. But I get 40mpg on average anyway on my GT...hmmm. Just a quick update, but wow! Lift feels more aggressive!!!

Dithers house and stated asking me if it was modded, my reply was........ Sorry but no it ain't just a 190 standard, he could not believe it! Those 320's are shite though. They're only 160ish to 170ish bhp if it's the 98 - 05 model. So stands to reason that you battered his face off with your life powerz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gstraw Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 I must add praise here of seafoam which I just tried last week and in fact forgot I put it in. Car feels a lo better and I think the vacuum pipe insert helped a lot. Some crap came blasting out my car and the exgaust sounded de coked and throatier I think having it in the 3 places might be better than just one. I see some fuel tank only things as additives but find seafoam an actual full on cleaner in that you put it in 3 places to clean the engine ASAP. Not tried bk 44 but I will do soon For me just now seafoam worked a treat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftershock Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 I put some BK 44 in this morning then filled her up. Wont be driving much as its just back and forward to work but i will take her a blast along the motorway at the weekend and see how she feels.

cs2000 Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 I stuck some in the other day. used 1/4 of a tank so far. i gave it a double combo, running it wth a tank of vpower. Seems to help, car feels less resistant especially when cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyper-wrap Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 when i say new i mean a 60 plate! They're around 147bhp if memory serves me right. Age ain't nothin' but a numbeerrrerrrerrr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pestey Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 the new ones are 170bhp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyper-wrap Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 the new ones are 170bhp Well, there's two petrol variants really. 147bhp, 167bhp...the diesels put out more power. The car weighs 1400kg. It stands to reason that a lightweight, revvy japanese motor with 190ish bhp is gonna beat it...with or without some shit that came out of a can.

JnrGT Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 I ordered a can on Friday, see how it goes. Not expecting anything major as the car always runs on V-Power and has 40k on the clock, but I guess it will do no harm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftershock Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 Well mine has run through a tank and i cant say i really noticed a difference at all, maybe slightly better power but it did 380 mile driving around town which is pretty good, i will see what i get on the motorway next weekend.

JnrGT Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Well, after more than 2 weeks since I had put this stuff in and noticed no difference what so ever, waste of money because it wasn't exactly cheap. Car feels the same as it did a month ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigstring Posted November 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 V-Power and has 40k on the clock, might be because it's as clean as a whistle in there? Buy an old GT gen 6 and have a go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t3rrorbyte Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 I think this stuff is fast becoming the crack cocaine for engines, it's certainly getting an 85-90% thumbs up from the club. My only concern is for whatever reason you stop using all the nicely cleaned internal provide the perfect surface for deposits to build up again (same as descaling a kettle). Once your using the stuff your hooked and have to make sure you carry on using it, but has any one see nthe long term effects on the internals i.e. rings and seals because if it is strong enough to break down even the oldest and tuffest of deposits it must have something fairly strong in it to do so? Having said that i'm curoius and have an addictive perosnality so i'm gunna give it a go and get hooked too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
