Seafoaming - 2004 Honda Civic EX

Hello everyone,

I have a 2004 Honda Civic EX that I'm trying to seafoam. It only has 90k miles and it has never been seafoamed before. The issue I'm having with it is that I have no clue where to spray the seafoam. I watched one of Chris Fix's videos on how to seafoam and I thought it would be easy to find the air intake and just start spraying, but I simply couldn't. Now, I'm not a car guy, but I'm slowly trying to get into them and take care of my good old '04 honda. As a college student it gets the job done and I thought why not try to make it nice and take care of it. Also, would modding it be worth it? I love the car.

So, I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could possibly help me out and tell me where I could spray the seafoam. Possibly with pictures since I'm so bad at it.

Thank you!

EDIT: Sorry if this post is not in the right place.

Fun fact, all that smoke comming out after pouring seafom in is the actual seafoam itself burning.

Personally I feel you might as well just light 10 - $1.00 bills on fire and save your catalitic converter the hassle.

Big supporter of frequent and full synthetic oil changes for our engines.

Consider the timing belt replacement as its due.

Re: Seafoaming - 2004 Honda Civic EX

all im seeing in the video is a cloud of white smoke just like every other video i have seen on someone seafoaming there car's engine lol aint it funny how You never see any clouds of black carbon mixed in as the white clouds are coming out the tail pipe..? its always rather Pure white coloured clouds instead from the

product being burned internally and exhaled out as white in coloure not to mention the risks involved on pouring it down a brake booster line if someone wants to increase there performance & mpg's why not bring it to a shop and have a Proffessional Cleaning service done on it like a BG induction cleaning its going to cost more but You get alot more effective cleaning in the engine done.

Well, I eventually figured it out and went through with it. Didn't have any issues at all. So, there's that.

Re: Seafoaming - 2004 Honda Civic EX

Yea our intake is like a huge fishbowl.

Bet you could pour 2 full cans of seafoam down there and it would just sit there sloshing around.

yep, not until you have poured 42 ounces in does it get to the first breather tube connection.
