My 04 SS with the SC has about 90k and I would like to do a seafoam treatment. I have searched and no definitive answer on where it is safe and recommended to use to get through the vacuum lines. I do not want to damage anything including the SC. Please help me, thanks!

 

Here is a link to a guide that one of the members wrote up. In it a member mentions to clean the throttle body while the car is running by spraying seafoam from a "windex" bottle with the windex removed first, into the throttle body while the car is running, also very important to remove the MAF sensor prior to doing this as it will cause your MAF to get ruined. This in theory should have some effect on cleaning the inside of your supercharger. Read through the post as there is 4 pages of questions and answers and input so it may give an even better idea for what you are looking for, I only read through the first page lol. For what it's worth I have used seafoam in all of my vehicles and have had great results, but have never put it in the crank case like some do

Thanks for the input, I will check it all out. I have used it in the past to great success. I just was afraid of it going through the supercharger and damaging the coating...but thanks for your assistance

 

I have not heard either, but not sure if the seafoam would hurt the inner working. You might want to check with seafoam. I think they have a number you can call on the can.

 

Do not send it throught the supercharger if an not mistaken it can damage it, but I do belive the brage booster hose is below the supercharger,

 

Well that is what I was thinking, just want to verify a good vacuum port to use. Thanks for the help on this.

 

The brake booster hose connects to the vacuum tree that is directly in front of the supercharger rotors. If you put seafoam in there, it will most definitely be sucked through the rotors.

I'm not advocating one way or the other, but if you're trying to avoid getting it in the supercharger, you can hook it to the vacuum line on the LIM just below the supercharger snout on the front of the engine. The downside is that the nipple is rather small, maybe 1/8", and it will feed the LIM from just the one side, so you probably wont be spreading it evenly across the cylinders.

 

That's the one I was thinking of on the lim, wasn't sure what it was for, thought I remember it being the brake but I am wrong and that is why it's good to have active members here thank bumping for correct info
