You can look it up in the Skeptics Dictionary - you'll find it between Haunted Houses and Homeopathy. To quote

"Hiclone promises fuel savings of up to 20%, power increase of up to 15%, and hydro carbon emission reductions of up to 30% with prices from $160-$215 (Australian). They'll even sell you something called Fuelmax which "is a magnetic frequency resonator which clips onto the fuel line and 'fractures' the passing fuel, allowing it to mix with oxygen more readily and thus burn more efficiently." This should keep you laughing for up to ten minutes"

The results were certainly good, although I onnly laughed for 5 minutes - perhaps because I'm an old bastard and remember the Brock Polariser and such.

Gav, Ant fit a polariser to your car, and it's making 1000hp now :)

Those so called magnetic stuff are crap. Same as broquet fuel catalyst or what nots. Wtf would something invented in WW1 be so amazingly applicable today that major maufacturers don't implement it? Think about it. Manufacturers would boost their sales if they can increase their fuel efficency with just a few hundred bucks. After all... whats a few hundred when u're paying thousands? Every car manufacturer, esp in the economy class, toyota, mitsubishi, etc.. are trying to get better fuel economy so as to promote their cars, you'd think something as "proven" as fuel magnets and stuff like that would make their way into the production line if it worked.

So cut the crappy stuff out, and think for a while. It's all a placebo. " I paid good $$ for it and it definitely works, cause if it didn't i'm as good as a sucker"

Sorry if it was too blunt and harsh, its just that i've got wayyyyy too many friends who paid good $$ for this kinda stuff to try to improve fuel economy and get more power. And they swear by it, and it just gets a lil irritating sometimes. The best way to get better fuel economy out of your car is always your right foot, and of course your necessary maintenence, tyres and tyre pressure, etc.

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
    • Got the front subframe and suspension in.    
    • If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
