I don't see why not. There's threads on how to de-carbon your wankel. I still think the ATF treatment is the best, I've done it a few time with great success.

I have personally done this several times, no negative effects, many positive including better power, less smoke on start up, easiers starts.

When you do it make sure that you allow for a LOT of smoke, and change your plugs after you finish.

Can someone do this and film it. I was going to film my car but the batteries were dead. I can't help but laugh when I see **** loads of white smoke bellow out of the pipe. It was so bad I couldn't see the car parked behind me.

If you only smoked out one car, you didn't have much smoke. I've had the neighbors come over and ask if they needed to call the fire dept., at midnight.

Well, I meant all I saw was smoke. A white wall pretty much. They had a cop ask if I needed the fire dept. to come. I told him nope, that's what a 7 does when burning oil.

Yeah. I just got this house, so I'm not gonna be doing that... I'm wondering if I make a hose that fits over the 7's tail pipes that I can clamp down, will it have enough exhaust pressure to overcome a 5 gallon bucket of water?

I'm attempting to make a bong for the 7.

Not likely... if it does, its not going to run well.... you may be able to get somewhere if you create a vacuum in the bucket, to pull the exhaust through (big-*** shop vac attached to the top of the bucket) ...but I don't know that that would be enough either...

...maybe just do it at night, so no one sees it? might be a little easier than some elaborate filter....

...or you could just use something other than water to filter with...

Try using crushed charcoal instead. Should work better than water, and with very little restriction.


As far as MMO goes, it does work as mentioned but I prefer using Seafoam. The way I use it, there's no smoke and no mess, and no need to replace your spark plugs afterword. Just add a full can to 1/8 tank of gas, then go out and drive it like you stole it.
