Hey everyone just seen a ad on tv about those hyclone things claiming better fuel economy more power.any thoughts on these

Personally I find better results with fairy dust concentrate

 

[BravoBrad]

I find homebrand fairy dust concentrate performs even better, at 2/3rds of the price.

back to the original question, I know a bloke who swears they work, I know a bloke who swears they don't, and I know another bloke who just swears. Personally I wouldn't bother.

 

[Bax84]

I haven't been able to find any fairy dust concentrate around here.

You'll get better results with better gear choice and controlling your driving attitude. I wouldn't bother.

thats about right.
any really old carby engine that doesn't have intake swirl it would help. but who wants to ruin a historic car with after market parts!
later carby engines have the swirl built into the air cleaner assembly, so it won't help them.

of course won't help with injected motors
and certainly won't do jack with diesels as fuel mixture is done in cylinder not in the intake.

You can buy fairy dust in Oxford St Sydney.

I watch the news, saw an item about "Mardi Gras" and how they all hang out in Oxford St.

I'd be seeing a boilermaker for some nice 403 stainless undies and Nike for some extra-fast shoes before I went within a kilometre of that place.

Don't say that, I went into Bunnings and asked the guy for one and he started heading for the shelves.

Personally....I'd go with adding Castrol 2T.

Speaking of snake oil... does anyone remember that inline fuel system that put microscopic tin particles in your fuel? was meant to add 10% more power or some BS?

 

[Old.Tony]

Yeah that came out when Super was replaced by Unleaded, so that you could safely use unleaded fuel in cars that were designed for leaded fuel.

Bow tie badges are cheaper and add like 30 horsepowers

Haha I do I've got one similar on my xp for $5 from a swap meet but we put a 2 barrel carby in at the same time so don't know if it increases power/ saves fuel and we put it after the carby not in the air cleaner so it mixes the air and fuel better it defiantly goes better than it used to
