Just stumbled across this, Made me laugh thought i would share.

It plugs into your cigarette lighter and instanlty save you 20% of you fuel. And saves the earth ahah,

Do people actually buy this shit?

anyone else think it works by lighting a light whenever it gets a certain amount of supply voltage due to increased revs, or by the same technologly as iphones and sensing how hard you accerate, therefore making you more aware of your driving style?

thats the only logical way i think it could help with economy.

nope, totally wrong. i found some stuff on the net about them. have a read/laugh for yourself

NEOSOCKET REVIEW

After scouring the internet for fuel saving products and researching them, I finally found the product that lived up to all I was looking for. All I needed to do was simply plug-in the Neosocket into my car's 12 volt lighter/accessory adapter and I immediately began to save money on gas and improved my fuel economy.

Since very few people have the financial resources to convert their cars to natural gas or fuel cell technology, Neosocket has developed a simple and inexpensive way to improve the cars we already drive. The cost of hybrid cars is not at a level we can all benefit from yet, so clever devices like this will definitely make an impact for the millions of cars already on the road today.

You won't need to go under you hood to install anything or disassemble your interior which is always a plus. It has also been proven safe for use in any car that uses a 12 volt system and will not damage your onboard computer.

HOW DOES NEOSOCKET WORK ?

The Neosocket is a new application of an old technology. Basically, it acts like a small battery that helps your car's electrical system perform better. The small device is fitted with a

capacitor that once plugged in to your 12v adapter is instantly connected to the car's main electrical system. (capacitors are also commonly used to power the electronic flash in cameras)

The capacitor first charges and then discharges the stored electricity (voltage) when there is a heavy energy demand from the alternator. Heavy energy demand (reduced voltage) is caused by using any electrical accessory in your car including lights, windshield wipers, air conditioning, stereo or any combination of them.

Instead of the alternator and battery having to work overtime, Neosocket supplements the required voltage to reduce the load on the electrical system from any accessory that is being used. The reduced electrical demand frees up energy that can be better used to deliver a more constant and steady supply of electricity to the spark plugs and ignition system.

The result is a more efficient and complete combustion of the gasoline which will improve you gas mileage and produce cleaner emissions. You will also get better horse power, acceleration, and a smoother running engine despite daily driving conditions.

The fact is that fuel mileage will fluctuate in any car due to driving habits, lack of maintenance, traffic conditions and many other factors. All these factors will rob the fuel efficiency your car was meant to achieve. The main purpose of Neosocket is to help your engine consistently maintain its designed fuel efficiency despite of all these unpredictable situations.

basically they say it's a capacitor that supplies extra charge to the electrical system, taking strain off the alternator. unless you have a dynamo off a pushbike in the place of your alternator, and a few AA batteries in the place of your car battery, i doubt you will see any difference in fuel economy.

You will also get better horse power, acceleration

seems legit :ninja: , also all p plater should get this if that claim is true.

so whos stepping up and testing this for sau?

surely there has to be some law against shit like this???

i honestly cant believe that 7 people were dumb enough to buy this magical fuel saving dildo

There is a law against it. A law that has very severe consequences...

I believe it is called natural selection.

    • For fuelling the Haltechs have O2WB fuel controllers. Very useful for helping tuning VE and correcting for *small* mistakes. Of course if your injector/cam/trigger/sensor data is just wrong (or for a GTT which is not a GT) then you will get impossible reactions to things. I am sure you know this already but the reason people don't typically put haltechs (or any Aftermarket ECU) on GT's is because there's practically no real gains to be had - So this knowledge won't be commonplace.
    • Can someone tell me if the cracks seen in the rear sway bar bushings in these photo's is unacceptable from a roadworthy point of view?  
    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
