So, was just wondering, if anyone on here has had it done? And was it worth the money?

I was reading this up on the ultratune site, talking about how it cleans the whole fuel system, injectors, fuel rails, fuel lines...etc..

I am considering having this done, but just want opinions from others about what their thoughts were on this service?

Very beneficial? Or not really? Could you tell the difference in engine performance after having this done?? etc...??

Cheers!

really depends on how cloged ya rail, injectors, filter, regulator, pump is. if its a new car then its useless but if u're getting to the 130k+ mark then it just might be worth it.

Carbon sounds just like those bottles you buy at the auto places, and simply flush's through (usually is done on board and not remove the injectors)

Ultrasonic is when they actually take them off and 'bubble jet affect' clean them properly, removing all the build up


If your going to fork out the money for carbon, might as well get ultrasonic

I've had a "carbon blast" treatmend done on my car at a dyno day, with before and after power runs showing a 5 or 6kW at the wheel gain.

Bear in mind though that this isn't what the Ultratune Website has described. The carbon blast I'm talking about isn't a fuel treatment, it's hooked into one of the vaccum lines in the air intake, and actually cleans oily / carbon deposits from around the tops of the valves (the main cause of which is the fact that unfiltered PCV is plumbed back into the air intake). This was on a car that had only done about 50,000 km at the time.

It was a Wynns (or however you spell it) product that they used.

Was it a big black bottle? Thats good stuff, put it in one of the vaccume hoses, let it sit for about 15mins and take your car for a blast, huge plums of smoke out of the exhuast for about 30seconds.

Yeah - that sounds like the stuff. Really makes you realise why an oil catch can is beneficial.

i think u'll find that whatever u put in your vacuum lines will result in huge plooms of smoke out of the exhaust.

Actually hardly any smoke comes out the exhaust while the "carbon blast" is being sucked into the vacuum line. It comes after the stuff has had 15-30mins to soak in with the engine shut down. Then when you start the car - all the oil / carbon crap built up on your valves gets burnt up in the engine and expelled out the exhaust.

same as good old classic "Redex" ??? :)

(uhoh, guess anyone under 40 usually wouldn't know what "decoke" means...)

The propert carbon clean bypasses the fuel rail and the car is run on the stuff for about 15 minutes.

I have seen marked increases in compression, on some the the Barina's they are cronic for carbon build up on the valves and this treatment will stop it all together

the cheep way of doing this is to use water also works very well
