Revive Turbo Cleaner - How Revive Works

What is Carbon
Build-up?

A primary cause of carbon build up on valves and valve seats in modern direct injection petrol engines, is that the detergents added to fuel, and the fuel itself, don’t come in direct contact with the intake valves. This is because the fuel is injected directly into cylinders and no longer from behind the valve. This results in the fuel and detergent being unable to clean the port, seat and valve.

The problem often worsens during higher combustion pressure and leaner mixtures. This can result in an increase of unburnt fuel mixture in the chamber, which when the valve is open increases the carbon deposit exposure. Often the air passing via the valve has insufficient heat to burn off the deposits.

This can be an issue for intake valves due to recirculated air entering the chamber, this unburnt and contaminated fuel mixture tends to gather on the valve stems and seats.

Over time this will create a poor seal on the valve seats and increase friction on the valve stems and ultimately add to increased unburnt and recycled air contamination creating further carbon build-up.

Revive for petrol/gas engines can help by removing these carbon deposits, locking them away in minute particles, which are then carried through the exhaust and catalyst without building up again in other areas.

Diesel Engines

Modern turbo diesel engines produce carbon and soot deposits within the engine. Vehicles fitted with variable vane / geometry turbos get affected by these deposits around the turbo vanes and this causes them to stick, producing erratic response, over/under boost faults, limp home mode and poor performance.

Petrol Engines

Revive treatments on Petrol/Gasoline engines can minimise soot and carbon deposits which accumulate on the back of the inlet valves on Direct Injection Gasoline (GDI) engines, these deposits can build up because there is no ‘fuel backwash’ on the valves, as the fuel is directly injected into the cylinder.

If untreated, these deposits will restrict the flow of air, causing the engine to run rich and lumpy and a significant drop in power and fuel economy will occur. Using Revive can also increase Torque due to improved compressor efficiency, if fitted with a turbocharger.

Revive’s patented formulas are applied at velocity through the combustion process. It removes surface layers of soot and carbon deposits in tiny particles, which are no larger than the soot particles the engine naturally generates, making it safe to use on vehicles fitted with catalysts and particulate filters.

Despite technology evolution, turbo diesel engines still produce carbon and soot deposits, causing the variable vane mechanism inside the turbocharger to stick, resulting in erratic response, over/under boost faults, limp home mode and poor performance.

The treatment is sprayed into the vehicle’s intake system before the turbo inlet whilst the engine is running. As the fluid passes through the engine, the active ingredients lock on to built up oily/carbon deposits and strip away surface layers. These tiny carbonised particles are no larger than the soot particles the engine naturally generates, making the process safe for vehicles fitted with catalysts and filters.
