this is you yeah!! ^^

OK so some-one educate me here.

Bought a new battery for Katies Mazda 3 today.

Went with a basic Champion HD.

as I was putting it in I noticed the little advertising tags on top, as you do.

they claim, their batteries increase your fuel economy by 2%.. now considering I did a basic lift both and the new one is heavier than the OEM one it cannot be due to less weight.

SO how the feck does a battery improve fuel economy by anything???

If you teach me how to use it :P

lol..

get this

watch some utube tutorials, find old car, (not yours) wash it, clay it and start buffing...after about 20 cars you should know what you are doing..

can I have a go now? .. :D

my assumption is that it's to do with drawing less power to charge it

I thought about that.

But as far as I'm aware alternators run at a set speed not variable as per current load? that said I could be be very wrong. and thus asking advise.

I just think it a bad marketing plot and suckering ppl in.

Sounds like their bad marketing plot suckered you into buying it Martin. :P

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
