Re-Amemiya hi power jet G (Liqui-Moly. cleaning and coating) will do the best job but lack of people knows the real trick to get the best results. I use BG44k once. After finish the mixed tank for long cruising, finished another tank (without premix), felt the change when using the 3rd tank (with premix 250:1) on the next morning. Just like when it was new. Only thing happen on the BG44k mixed tank was CEL came out and said system too rich, for 3-4 times. I ignored it and just continue with average 5k rpm (I did some redline of cause, to clean up the 3rd set of injectors a bit on my 6 ports). BTW, before that, I did took out my inlet manifold and clean up with WD40 (fast and cheap). Same to the throttle body.

The more you use it, the more increased wear in your engine.

If use in every tank, the sht built up may not able to be cleaned by any solvent any more

just run water though the engine once in a while.

I had carbon buildup around the ports the most.

Look at the port on the bottom where it narrows:

may be a dumb question but in what gear is it best to red line it for the carbon buildup?

so fuel system cleaners actually harm your engine if used more than they should be? I know Shell gas has a fuel cleaner in it, well V power 93 octane anyways, and thats what I mainly fill up on.

That's not a problem, but when you add a shock dose that's not meant to be done too frequently. It's less of an issue in piston engines, but rotaries lubricate the combustion chamber and you don't want to harm those oil films. There are also some 'lubricious' cleaners that are designed to not harm your oil films. Read all about it in the premix thread.

I've been following these forums for a while, and have seen a lot of discussions for oil synthetics and oil/fuel additives. It is true that most fuel additives/cleaners that are popular on the market can actually be harmful to the engine if used too frequent as their nature is to be a "one use" product.

There is a company in the U.S. that sells a fuel additive and oil additive that is to consumers in the U.S. The product is called eeFuel (fuel additive) and eeLube (oil additive). I've come to know both of these products fairly well as I work for the company.

While I am not the scientists that developed the product by any stretch of the imagination, I can confidently say this is just about the best fuel and oil additive combination you could use in the U.S. It does what other additives claim to do, but significantly better. The fuel additive itself increase MPG (by up to 25%), reduce emissions (by up to 50%) and extend engine life.

The product, unlike any other fuel additive out there, is based on liquid nanotechnology. The core purpose of the product is to perfect the combustion cycle of any gasoline, diesel or combustible fuel engine. It reduces the octane requirement of any engine significantly and also cleans away carbon deposits of the engine in a soft efficient manner (By doing this, it does not harm the engine long-term, and will keep the engine in clean and in tip-top shape with continual use) . It does all this by using nanotechnology by creating more efficient fuel/air mixture in the combustion chamber with millions of tiny steam explosions.

While I may have just sounded I know what I am talking about about, I've just heard it a million times and have picked it up. All I can tell you is the results that I see in my current vehicle. In my 2005 Nissan Altima V6 I've gone from 320 miles per tank up to around 400 miles per tank on a consistant everage. Not to mention there is a noticeable performance increase of the vehicle (seems to have more noticeable "pep") and an overall much smoother/quiter sounding engine at idle.

If you have not already gotten bored by my post, I want to say I've been looking to purchase an RX-8 over the next few months. I've always wanted to know what kind of increase in performance and mileage these additives would give in an RX-8, due to it's unique rotary additive. I also am curious on how the oil additive helps with the constant checking of the oil the the RX-8 requires. If anyone wants to try them out and perhaps document MPG/Performance increases, let me know.

You should have not said anything. You've removed all doubt.

2 posts, sounds like a spammer.

Well to be honest, I can see how this would come off as spam. The truth is that I have been following a lot of threads on this forum for quite a while now and until now, have never really needed to interject.

My apologies if this came off as spam, my intentions were not so. The numbers I posted above are realistic numbers, and if anyone would to take time to look over any independent testing, they would see pretty high increases in mileage and decreases in emissions (for an additive).

Obviously I can't show you numbers for an RX-8, and I don't own one. ...that's why I am posting here.
