i got a street ported 2nd gen and it idles rough.
its not that bad but the car has been sittin for a year or two and got it running
question do i put it straight in the gas tank?
should i use injector cleaner?
new to rotarys anything helps
thanks

 

Ive heard you inject the seafoam into a vacuum line while the engine is running....

Do not know which line though, gotta search.

Injector cleaner? MEh, thats junk, best "injector cleaner" is to take the injectors out and have them cleaned and balanced. Ive heard witchhunter???? is good..........

 

Personally I have reservations about seafoaming a rotary since it basically strips the oil layer from the surfaces as its cleaning. Not a huge deal in a piston engine, not sure if its good or bad in a rotary.

 

my buddie said the vaccum line thing.
ill prolly clean the injectors and do a basic tune up on it.
any other info about the seafoam?

 

Just use water, on vac nipple next to the line that goes to the MAP "boost" sensor on the intake manifold. You will see one facing the front of the car (for the front rotor), and another facing the rear or firewall of the car for the rear rotor. Both are near the center of the intake manifold.

If you do use sea foam, get ready for the wrath of a thousand seas. May want to have 911 on speed dial.

 

sounds good.
anything else?

 

Go for it. I never put it in the vacuum hose on a rotary I have with other cars. For my rx7 I put half the bottle in the oil, and half in the gas tank.

 

If I remember correctly, the Pineapple Racing method is to take a gallon jug of water, find a nipple that will feed the front and rear rotors about equally, set/tie the jug somewhere that will be safe for a little trip, insert hose, and drive around until it sucks it dry.

 

It's a waste of money but it won't do any harm.

 

I wouldn't do it unless I had some high mileage engine that was probably full of carbon.

Btw, you aren't supposed to run seafoam in your oil for very long.
