westOZZY Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 Found this little gadget on the net and thought, the price is right, and if the claims are correct...beauty, it'll pay for itself! http://www.fuelsaver.com.au/hiclone.htm http://www.hicloneqld.com/ But, has anyone ever used such a device or agree with the claims of %20 better fuel economy and some more horses to accompany that. Also, found the part about turbo vehicles quite interesting, that one can place one of these before and after the turbo, and it will spool at 600rpm lower than "normal"...? Thought you guys might be interested, and can anyone suggest whether or not it looks like its worthwhile, and suitable for the EA82T?

SubaRube Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 It's a scam from what I know. There is quite a few of these turds on the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All_talk Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 No way man those things are the Shiz…. I made my own from a shredded Bud can, it doubled my mileage and added 100 Hp, my ’82 Camaro has never ran better. And it’s a big hit with chicks in my trailer park. P.S. no intended offence to those who like ’82 Camaro’s or trailer parks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subyrally Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 i jacked on outta a car at a junk yard, put into my cone filter on the impreza, no complaints, i kow it improved throttle response and might have helped gas milage. my friend used to work for the government, he said the every one of their vans and jeeps had one of those turbo tornado things in em, they really help with v8's from what i understand.

GeneralDisorder Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 When you see something like this, always ask yourself why it's not on production vehicles if it's such a hot item? Silly, simply silly. Might as well burn your money for heat. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calebz Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 While I agree that they are silly, I think that question in equally silly in regards to our 15+ year old cars.. That train of thought completely nullifies the possible benefits of any modification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westOZZY Posted June 18, 2004 Author Share Posted June 18, 2004 Jeeze, lay off, I was equally suspicious, but who knows, anything for increased fuel economy is worth checking out... and its not like i bought the damn thing! Oh, and i'm just a naive first car owner, just getting interested in cars, so there is some sort of reasoning behind what you presume to be pure gullibility!

archemitis Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 that will just make more turbulence, that your cone filter is supposed to reduce. and its a restriction, making your air slow down. pure bs! use mobil1, guaranteed mpg improvement.

Dean Just some friendly ribbing; nothing personal. Someone seriously posts about these once a month. I think you are a pretty sharp person you would have already bought one!
