If you want to get the same performance as this, without the hassle of having your car off the road and getting your hands dirty, give me $160 in $10 notes.

The weight reduction in not carrying over a dozen notes will be even more beneficial than sticking an intake restriction on your car.

been seen these ands on the tv for these hyclone things they fit into the air intake pipe and apparently make better air feul mixture. on the ad they say up to 15% more power and better fuel ecconomy. i wanted to know has anyone got one? they can be used on turbo setups aswell but un N/A guys are always in search of cheap power!!http://www.fuelsaver.com.au/what do u think bull shit what

I don't know, it's a big debate...

It totally makes sense that you'd think it would just restrict your air travel into the manifold.

But on my Land Rover Discovery-ES 1994 V8 3.9L model I managed about 23% increase in mileage on the highway with x2 Hiclones fitted after comparing previous interstate drives (and I drive non-stop)!

Air density could of played a role, but it would still make at least 15% more mileage on the highway with a steady stabilized foot throttle position!

But for city stop & start driving, forget it!!!

Only good for interstate driving in my opinion!!!

Did you do another long drive without Hiclones fitted but with new air filters?

I started with a K&N Air Filter.

I was doing thousands of kms prior to swapping for x2 Hiclones & I always managed more kms on the highway!!! :)

So I only have them fitted on x2 of my vehicles...

Whatever the Tune may be.

Discovery Series 1 is the only vehicle besides Commercial, that could handle 4.500kg towing these days!!!

As you can get Iron Man B Rated Coil Spring for the rear & mine weighed 2.5t wet weight (no sway with a tri-axle flatbed trailer loaded)!

As Dodge RAM 3500HD, Chevrolet Silverado 3500 & Ford F-350 all count as Commercial Vehicles on Rego...

With Dual Sun Roofs, V8 & full leather you seriously can't go wrong! :)

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
