hi
Like to now how good is new device in the market it is name is fuel saver with is saw in shell advertisement so u guys and girls pls share your view

 

[donCityZ]

d'carbo expensive laa........


use STP carb cleaner..... less than RM20......

Bump: d'carbo expensive laa........


use STP carb cleaner..... less than RM20......

Yaa...... can last long time too.. i clean mine once a month... everytime after clean the TB,
very syiok to drive... after a while, it get back to normal, then spray again...

no need dcarbo. its same thing actually.

Prof Northiswara still here? I only now return to ZTH. Been spamming in Teamcity forum a lot.

How is the K2N magic stone company? bungkus liao ?

it's an advertisement with poor spelling.

so?

Is not important about spelling is more important on the products.

thanks for the correction..

Voltage stabiliser. save a bit around 1-2% on my car. in addition u get cooler air con and smoother ride.

my friends are using it on MYVI and KE-70...
the MYVI one said only got some effect on the first and second weeks...
KE-70 I dint' ask lar...
so what is your result??

i got also one product can save up to 35% fuel.
it is called K2N Magic Stone.

what is that?
more details please...
thanks...

If you improve everything, lighten everything, it is time to change the way we hit the pedal... If you kasi hentam all gears at rpm 5++, sure koyak man... Better keep it under rpm 3...

this really works...
erm...
try not to keep press the brake pedal...
it makan fuel lar...
try pull up the hand-brake lar...
slowly...
wakaka~
I do this so...
can try it...
to prove braking = makan minyak, try to keep press your brake pedal deeply, you can see the rpm is going up...
that is why automatic transmission makan minyak, one of the reasons is because no clutch play and keep press the brake when the legs is itchy...
haha~

yeap.
my turbocharger kit is very easy. DIY.
install vacuum cleaner to suck more air into ur intake manifold. less than rm1k setup.

lol~
turbo charger??
what a good idea man...
what car you are using that??
I'm so curious lar...
1k??
sure bo??
wakaka~

too boring to talk about fuel saver afterall most of them doesnot work.
buy idsl engine and dump into ur car guarantee save fuel one.
DIY hybrid car also save fuel. take washing machine motor and mount to rear wheel.

lol~
aiyaya...
hybrid car do save fuel...
but the maintainence le??
haha~
still wanna diy...
wakaka~

With std and stock injection engine, O2 sensor, throttle position, air flow or map sensor + ecu will control on ur fuel consumption.
Just makesure all of them are in good working condition.
Btw, gear ratio will affected on fuel consumption as well.

Slightly advance on ignition timming and remapping ecu may help u to improve as well.

However, from my past expriance, voltage stabilize really can make a job nice.
can feel engine go smoother after installed, especially on 6A10 engine.
Besides, go to branded part to gain better value.

lol~
those devices already cost a lot man...
some times our thinking are the most important effect lol~
all our conclusion will go through our mind and hand before it exist in this page...
>.<

 

[boyzone]

For me,
better save all the $$ for those fuel saving device.
This is because of :
- Existing ECU is very smart, u unable to cheat them.
Therefore, u only can feel the different for the first few weeks, after that self correct by ECU again.
Example: microcompressor

- Regular service the engine, makesure give good quality engine oil to let engine run smooth.
Do top overhaul if needed .. u will worth it interm of ROI with fuel $$

- Keep ur car in lighter weight, do let ur car become ur store room.

- Check ur tyre pressure every bi-weekly

- Smooth driving style will help to reduce fuel consumption significantly.

- Go for expressway instead of jam on traffic light.

Finally, go for sub ecu to over write OEM mapping, this will help u on FC.

lol~
wanna save fuel then buy a viva and drive...
wakaka~

 

[JINEIL2EN]

hahahahahaa... why not just buy EX5..??

 

[F1z33]

use NGV lol...

SAVE FUEL. I make my own HHO fuel kit. The 2 hydrogen & 1 oxygen gas emitted from distilled water is sucked into the engine via the air filter box. Gives more power to the car and because of that I press lighter on the pedal. Then, only I can saved money by going to the petrol station a few days later. To proof that it works, the tip end of that exhaust pipe has no soot, meaning the petrol I used is completely burnt. I had been using this kit for 3 years already. Previously, HHO kit installer connect the HHO gas through the vacuum pipe of the engine, and this make the car drinks more petrol. Disadvantage of this kit: you have to change/replace the distilled water every week. YusofNgah

 

[D7zul]

anything that can do 'Electrolysis of water' is good..

i use a device that called 'E-gas Hydrogen fuel saver'.. it's save fuel & give a lil more power..

not much.. but ok la

Bro...

Seriously, can you please testify? Does it actually work and how much improvement? Can give us some figures? Because I wanted to get one of those but came across a website where a guy argues that it doesn't work. Reason being that the extra energy provided by the hydrogen and oxygen is not enough to cover up the energy drained from the battery. Thus the alternator have to work extra hard to replenish the energy to the battery.

 

[YusofNgah]

Definitely there is a saving to my pocket because of extra power obtained from the addition of Hydrogen & oxygen sucked into the engine. It does take some electricity just like power amplifyer,(about 10amp), but what the alternator is used for. Another draw back is that the stainless steel wire acting as anode deteriotes through time like electroplating. This is a D.I.Y. gadget. Dont buy it if you are lazy to open up the bonnet every week to change water, (because the system depends on water, and the more often you change, the better is the performance). Because I like to delve in mechanics and repair, that is the reason why I still have them in my 3 cars for 3 years alridy. I sold a few, but these people gave up after a while. Too much of a nuisance. Better buy those gadget like voltage stabilser which is plug and play, with one fix to the battery and another to the cigarette lighter. Mega Raisin brand made in China RM60 each will do the job. Yusofngah (not my real name)

Alternator charges the battery. When battery is full, it disconnects so that it relieves the load on the engine, improve FC and prevent battery overcharge. If we put extra load on the battery by using the hydrogen fuel enrichment device, it consumes extra power from battery and thus the alternator have to work harder and longer. This puts the load on the engine as the engine will ultimately be used to charge the battery. Because the principle of conservation of energy states energy cannot be created nor destroyed. So the energy supplemented by the hydrogen and oxygen will needs to be charged back in the same amount by the engine. And if you factor in the friction and losses, the engine will actually have to compensate back more than the hydrogen and oxygen provide. That is the opinion of the engineer here.

But personally, I think it would work la... That's why I am asking for testimonies...

 

[D7zul]

ok.. ok..

the product actually use 1amp only.. they have a meter when i buy it..

it produce hydrogen sulfide, methane, oxygen & carbon monoxide.. tested with a gas detector..

the 1st 2 of the gasses is flammable & oxygen helps combustion.. check wikipedia for more info..

from my calculation.. it save around 5-10% of fuel.. not much.. BUT for a long run.. $$$

notes : i'm using silvertop 1.6L engine with 10.5 compression ratio.. if u have similar engine, u'll get similar result.. if not,

Ok lads, since petrol prices are at pocket bursting prices, lets help each other by listing down the FUEL SAVING DEVICES available in the market today.



What works:
1. Name / Brand / Price / Proof

2.

3.



What doesn't:
1. Magnet on fuel lines / Many brands / Not cheap / Proven NOT effective by Mythbusters.


2. Air Injector a.k.a Compressor / Many Brands / RM200 to RM500 / Self-used, and many other friends as well, all not working.


3.

P/S : Hopefully, after some useful input is gathered, i'll be able to publish an article for the ZTH main page.

Using the Torco UL Accelerator will do the job which is proven and it works fantastically
