OK, this isn't a joke, I honestly have NFI what this is, what it does or how it works.

I have found one on e-bay exactly the same, but a different brand, but the ad still doesn't say exactly what the hell it is :(

http://cgi.ebay.com.my/M5-Micro-Kompressor...1QQcmdZViewItem

Ideas anyone?

with a claim like "Saves fuel up 5% to 35%" i'd say its a box full of lies and bullshit

Thanks for that... :(

I have a feeling that it is along those lines, but I still want to know wtf is does and how it is supposed to do it...

thats got me totally stuffed how it could possibly do anything. Its got one air pressure fitting in the side and the guage but the brass bit on the bottom looks like an air exhaust port..like a silencer...I dont understand how this gadget can supposedly go onto any car and make the differences it does....

Annnd on that note, I would just like to qualify that I did NOT buy this, and do not own it (or desire to) I just want to know what the hell it is and what it is supposed to do.

hmm obviously ties into vacuum lines and alters airpressure...? might be a way of tricking computer to make it run leaner...?

Kompressor... beats me. Cool mercedes.

That sounds plausible but I don't think it would be tricking the ecu (unless it had a factory map sensor), more like vacuum leak before fuel reg to lower pressure and lean it out.

Sounds dodgy, buy it Dale! :)

I'd have to say you shove the thing into your ...um... ear and it feeds you a steady stream of BS. Looks like they have grabbed an old vaccuum guage,welded some air fittings to it, and stolen a bunch of gimmick stuff/advertising from other products/companies. My bet is it's supposed to do nothing at all except rip you off. You'd better buy all they have rooster. Then again it looks kinda like a chew toy for a staffy, might take mine more than 5 seconds to destroy it....

I discovered some information about this:

****Air Charger (Base on Mechanical)****

The system is a set of the component that will force the air drawn into the cylinder, and of cause by forcing the air, this will directly increase the air pressure and the air will drawn more and more faster. Then, during the cylinder valve is open, the air and the fuel mixture will rapidly fill in the space inside the cylinder in a high pressure. Due to this, more quantity of the air is allowed inside the cylinder.

An internal combustion engine can be view as a sophisticated air pump. Air is drawn into a cylinder along with a proportional amount of fuel. The mixture is compressed, ignited and expelled. The exploding air and fuel mixture is the source of the engine's power. The amount of power an engine makes is generally directly proportional to the engine's displacement. Displacement describes the cumulative volume of all the engine's cylinder. The bigger the engine's displacement, the higher the power the engine produces.

The system force more air and fuel into a cylinder than it could take in under atmospheric conditions. The more fuel and air in a cylinder, when ignited, the more powerful the resulting explosion. If you force 50% more air into a 3.2 liter engine it performs like 4.8 liter engine!

Instruction:

How to fix the micro kompressor on your vehicle:

1, Check original rpm before installing Micro Kompressor.(Ensure air-condition is on off mode).

2, Switch off the car engine.

3, Remove the hose connection from manifold supply air inlet.

4, Reconnect the hose with “ T ” join and link it to the additional hose provided.

5, Preferably fit the unit away from hear area.

6, Shorter hose would be much advantageous.

7, Place the unit slanting position at the angle ranging 15 to 45 degree gravity manitude.

8, Air vent-screw should be tighten up before switch on the car engine.

9, Start car engine and wait for a few minutes

10, Counter turning by adjusting the air vent-screw to obtain original rpm reading or engine become stable.

11, Instruction diagram printed on the box.

I discovered some information about this:

WTF? Talk about Engrish!! Thanks heaps for the info dude. Any chance of a link to your source? I want to know exactly how this thing does what it claims, because I still don't believe it.

ahaha - it sounds almost like one of those nitro RC booster bottles

it seems almost to store an air fuel/mixture on one pulse, and the next pulse it is sucked out, boosting the engine (albiet a pooftenth) and the next pulse re-charging again

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
