Hiclone Inserts Do they really work???

G'day

when i used to work for a 4x4 shop i installed quite a few of the hiclone units in different fourby's. Now i have heared mixed stories on these little numbers and was wondering if anyone here has fitted one into there petrol or diesel landys??

Have been considering it for a while now and there are a few on the market especialy on crap bay so which one to get???

Had one customer come back after someone (Before i was there) fitted one in a new hilux but put it back to front and he claimed that it was not doing anygood but worse so it made me think it might just work after all. On the lines of how it works i take it with the hiclone in it gives you a spirial air effect as to your normal air intake which in turn get alot more air flowing through at a rapid rate??

so if you got one what ya reckon???? did it help???

I have some Cheetah Saliva in limited quantities if you act now.

Rub it into the rocker cover and it will increase the performance by giving you the power of a Cheetah!!

My Father has one on his Nissan. Absolutely no measurable difference, ever.

Surly you've been here long enough to see the other uses they have. Most are now behind a dunny door these days

Why don't you try one of those puter fan superchargers as well

They're all useless

My Defender Tdi came with 2 of them installed (before and after the turbo). The previous owner swore by them as being very effective. When I took them out it made absolutely no difference to the vehicle's performance, economy etc.

my 200Tdi Disco has 2 fitted (From previos owner). He claims they made a difference. I get 10.5 - 10.9 LP 100km around town and find that the engine is quite pokey when the turbo starts spinning. I will endeavor to remove them in the near future to see if there is any difference. I figure I won't have the placebo effect becaue I wasn't brainwashed.

EDIT;

I just went to the website. It claims the fuel economy increase is because the swirling air moves the fuel to the middle of the air stream. Now correct me if im wrong, but my 200Tdi is direct injection.....

of course they work.... but theres no point in buying one as the best engined landrovers have one already.

the isuzu 3.9 has a huge one built into the air cleaner

the air box on the td5 engine has one built in prior to the air cleaner.

sorry , I just got so sick of typing out no they dont work and explaining why they dont.

They do work...you screw it to the end of a 300mm x 4mm steel rod, put the other end of the rod in the chuck of an electric drill and bingo: a stirrer for mixing a secret potion of goannah and snake oil topped up with FirePower (TM). diesels love it...
