Got one in close to Subablue $14.00 delivered from China, now, the power delivery assessment onb hold until I get brave enough to stomach it disintergrating into my intakes. Impeller is same both sides, instructions on ebay , not with package itself

Control V would help

Well, it certainly looks like it would go fast....

Put some goggles on, then spin it up with an air nozzle on a compressor. If it explodes and throws razor sharp shards in al directions it probably isn't safe for your car.

Can I ask why you bothered?

Is there a motor in there? looks just like some of the new R/C electric ducted fan s that are around, all alloy. A decent EDF on 12 volts would probably do more than that little thing

Think I need a few more gadgets to really enhance things

rave reviews in the above

Now, need three more, a pair of old inline skates, two sets of three inch wide, 62mm "fats" , and I'd have meself a set of inline skates I could actually use

Hi Steptoe, these sort of things are good to cover up other problems, if your carby/efi/spark/ign is working properly it will do nothing, if they have problems, it may help.
Many years of dyno work have shown these results.
Add a litre of kerosene to your engine oil, gives better dyno figures but is no good for your bearings.
These products are fun.
Good Luck

fourteen bucks worth of poops and giggles, and if it was fifteen I may have drawn the line and not bought it.It spins on its own bearings and air flowing through it I suppose. Pretty funky treadmill for pet mice ?? A lot of these aluminium things that look to be anodised are only painted to look anodised - this seems to be another of the look a like finish.

My machine shop guy swore by the Hiclones he sold, I'll get another fourteen bucks worth of fun discussing this unit with him

Another use out of it could simply be used as a spacer in my LPG set up and two bucks cheaper than one in silicone

Pre - commit to buy -I was wondering if the other side - outlet had a different turbine producing a higher pressure , I would have begun to doubt it if I had seen some alternatives to this deluxe model with twin blades, did not know you could also get a single blade unit, or one with rather crude mesh more suited to front air dams not AFM grade

Also differnt OD's to fit inside ducting - so you can hide the power boost at the next drag

Must go inspect a Chery to see if they are hidden inside intake ducting

i saw a write up about these somwhere claiming they had a contract with the US army to supply them as they were soooooooooooooo good (derisive laughter).
when asked for proof they said it was confidential and we should belive them

sorry guys but i think buying it is just incouraging theyre crap

The thing is that hiclones actually do work. I'm an honest user and can say the improvement was marginal, but improvement was there.

Someone that agrees with me! Its not much, but it was definitely there with the EA, and you are searching for every bit you can get then

short of going on a dyno, we tested it with 2 L series on yeagerup dunes

have you heard of a cyclone Alex? one came in an l series i scrapped, and i hadn't heard of them before. i have an EJ now, so it isn't much use to me but i am interested to know if they work as well.

Never heard of cyclones. I used the hiclone before I EJd as well..

DescriptionDescription:

F1-z power launcher turbine (double propeller) is designed by auto-engineer. The propeller of power launcher turbine spins with the engine speed generating a maximum force to create a powerful airflow into the combustion chamber at a higher speed. The single propeller sucks the airflow into the combustion chamber at a higher speed resulting atomized burning: Increase horse power and save gasoline. Why you need f1-z power launcher? Internal combustion gasoline engines run on a mixture of gasoline and air. The ideal mixture is 14.7 parts of air to one part of gasoline (by weight. ) one part of gas that is completely vaporized into 14.7 parts of air can produce tremendous power when ignited inside an engine. The quantity and quality of the air being mixed with fuel is of vital importance. It helps determine the longevity of an engine, more air you can get into the cylinder the more horsepower the engine will produce. F1-z power launcher was designed, to increase air intake volume to the engine. The concept is to create two different air velocity profiles, one traveling at higher speeds than the other does. This technology increases air volume and speed to the engine.

I hope this thing makes him very wealthy , the youtube clip not in here yet shows it to be pretty noisy whirring in operation

Right on Steptoe.

Never seen a dyno readout of an engine before and after electric blower has been installed. if it produces 2-3 hp then it isnt worth the risk anyway.
