hey guys, just wondering if anyone saw this advertisement in last weeks herald sun, or 2 weeks ago about a device which gives better fuel consumption. it was in the section where the cars are sold. from memory, i think it cost $60, not sure, i've got a pretty bad memory, but it was fairly cheap. i had a quick glimpse at it and then wen i remembered about it again the paper had already gone for paper recycling day.

did anyone else see it? what sorta thing could do that for so cheap?

im damn curious, coz if it does work, i know that i'd pay $60 for it.

Yeah I have one on my car, Peter Brock made it, it's called the Polariser and the fuel passes over rare earth rocks and minerals and other crud and polarises the fuel resulting in less fuel used.

Bahahahaahahha!!

If you engine is in perfect tune, reducing the amount of fuel entering without reducing the amount of air entering will destroy your engine by leaning it out.

Think about it, if it reduced consumption and improved emissions as they claim, why would the manufacturer not use these devices? Only a braindead twit would buy one of these devices for any car produced after the 80's....

I saw that same test.

There were actually two tests.

One was a fuel addative which didn't really work that well then there was the inline fuel filter type one which apparently did work well on the dyno and reduce emmissions by doing something to the fuel atoms.

It was extremly expensive not $60 somthing like a few hundred dollars I thought.

Its not bullshit, but the improvements were very minimal.

hence not worth laying out the money.

If you want to save money run std boost be light on the foot and run Std. Unleaded.

Well Us 32 owners can with the 8.5:1CR, I'm pretty sure you R33 owners can't but as they are prone to pinging anyhow.

I've tested my car on Std. Unleaded with 17deg timing, std ecu, full exhaust & std boost and there is no pinging.

BUT.. With the Std Exhaust it would ping a little higher in the rev's.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!

      That dirty voltage drop is the culprit I suspect

      The Ls1 R33 Of Fury

      It's about time I start work on my sun tan. So I knocked up a few parts that will all combine together to become my new power steering reservoir. Now just to produce an abundance of UV and IR rays while melting a heap of bits of alu to become one... Well, that's after I put one more hole in it for the return line to plumb to. It likely won't be this weekend, as Sunday I'm meant to be in doing some last minute stuff to the AMG race car, and the weekend after will be filled with non my Skyline stuff, followed by Bathurst 6 hour. So I don't expect to get to melt metal for at least 3 weeks.   I also managed to stuff up and start cutting the hole for the res to pump pipe on the wrong side of the line... It means instead of the lines being nice and tight against the inner guard, they'll be out off the guard.    The size of it means I should end up with about 1.8L of power steering fluid, and still have space for another half a litre before it reaches the overflow/breather. This is wayyyyyyy more capacity than factory, which should help keep Powersteer oil temps lower, and the design hopefully allows it to prevent any aerated oil being able to makes its way down to the bottom as it'll have a couple of baffles and some hopeful trickery to force air bubbles away from the bottom.
