That **** in a bottle doesnt do jack...to be an effective cleaner it needs to be highly concentrated, and even if you wait until 1/8 of a tank to put that little 10 ounce bottle in, it is still highly diluted. The only way to get 100% results is to physically remove the injectors and have an injector shop service them. I prefer fuelinjectorconnection.com but RC is also a high quality shop.
I have had many sets of rx7 injectors cleaned over the years, and I also had the injectors for my rx8 done.

IMO do not bother with f/i cleaner until you hit 100k miles+ and even then its not needed. I like seafoam as a cleaner also btw, I have used it on cars in the past. If you have less then 20k miles though I wouldn't put a drop of anything in it, your motor is brand new and its not needed. All most additives do is if they get in and dont clean then they are essentially detergents which will then move onto your seals possible making a leak come sooner then later. If you ever do anything I say use zoom zoom or seafoam but dont touch it for 20k miles at least imo, its just not necessary.

that kinda shocks me.
not good or bad i just find it odd.
i find that a can of b&g 44k every 15k miles. on a half tank if you are smart. helps lots of stuff. from the fuel injector on back..

That was 100% my opinion, we run MSG(mazda gasket sealant) in the motors before we ship them out and it gets on the injectors and spark plugs but we have never once had to replace a injector with nearly 2000 motors built. The worst thing for injectors is ethanol, ask any z32 owner, I used to use fuel injector cleaner and the only thing I would use is seafoam now. Just my experiences though.

You "run" gasket sealant "in the engines"?

The other odd product we have thats not out there is Solvest, also from a japan company, costs like $150 a small container, its used on the oil seal o-rings(inner/outer) for the rotor and also the rear stationary gear seal.

Yeah its a thick black liquid, MGS(Mazda Gasket Sealant), its injected 10-15mins into running the engine through the 2 vacuum lines on the intake manifold at 1800rpms. I forget how much they inject since its been months since I have done that. I dont know whats in it or anything, its written in Japanese and is a Mazda Japan product, takes months to get a case of it though. Supposedly it helps seal up all the seals.

Standard mazda proceedure, they say it helps all the gaskets seal properly when mixed in with the oil while running. It actually ends up drying into a rubber material on the intake ports that we have to clean off prior to shipping, thats all I know about the stuff.
