Gas saving device

here's a funny excerpt on their website:

BEWARE OF IMITATION, IT MAY DAMAGE YOUR ENGINE!

or is it beware of the real thing? :bwahaha:

Do car racers need these gadgets? I mean, isn't this created to suit the need of a regular, fuel-expense-burried folks?

All, I had this installed in my friend's car and
here's our finding.

1. In the demo, they can show that with the device
installed, consumption is indeed lesser by 40%. They
are using this using two bottles of coke, and you can
actually observe the depletion of gas.

2. However, they have to alter some settings on engine
timing.

3. In City driving, this could be effective.

4. We tried using it in long distance driving, that's
when we found the difference, the engine is a little
bit choked, thus it's very hard to gain speed and
power, consequently, we end up consumming more gas,
because you have press down the pedal to accelerate
more. Instead of 600, we spent 800 in gas.

5. I think they just make "sakal" of the engine, so
gas consumption is little, but power and acceleration
was not considered.

6. Eventually, we return the device, good for us we
did not paid yet.


Lesson, when thing is good to be true, it may not be
true at all..

ps..if in your case, it work, then I rest my case..

so that you can see the real effects of the said device in an extreme condition.

as you know, car racers are already using other power enhancing devices in their cars like air filters, mufflers, turbos, etc.

and like what was posted in the mitsu website - it is just choking the engine. heck, almost any car enthusiast with a bit of mechanical knowledge knows how to tweak his engine to run leaner. why spend 6K when you can tweak your engine to do the same in less than an hour?

quoted from khaos website:
====================
KHAOS Super Turbo Charger is the 4th generation PLANAS Super Turbo Charger that has been proven effective for 30 years now. It is designed to give your Engine the "ULTIMATE POWER", Fuel Consumption Efficiency and Pollution-Free Performance.

Does KSTC affect the engine power?
Definitely. increased in engine power will be easily felt
right after the installation because it reach the correct
mixture ratio of 15 parts of air and 1 part of gasoline and
so complete combustion was made.

Is Khaos Super Turbo Charger (KSTC) proven
already?
Yes, it has been used by motorist for 30 years already
and it gone thorough testing conducted by leading car
manufacturers and government agencies. Results showed
a saving on gas consumption, increased in engine power
and brough carbon monoxide level down to zero. (as
evident by an award winning- Tuklas Award and
Presidential Most Outstanding Invention award)
=================================


I think the website DOES mention engine power increase.

[php4us]

if that email does experience less engine power, and the website mentioned otherwise, this is a clear case of deceptive advertising.

naku, 30 years na pala ito ginagamit ng mga motorist. mas matanda pa sa akin

Interesting... also note it promises reduced emissions... I wonder how bad they would get, though, if the leaning out causes the engine to bog?

Many euro-compliant engines and economy-tuned engines sometimes bog down during acceleration due to incorrect mixture conditions, IMHO, if these conditions are exacerbated by the presence of unmetered air, poor emissions performance could occur.

zero... what vehicle was this tested on? I'd be interested to know if it is carburated or EFI... I'm interested in knowing if you can actually fool an EFI system into leaning out this way...

If it's possible, then you don't really need the KSTC to do it, you can make one yourself, since the principle is quite simple.

Or even better, just choke your air filter and muffler... less air entering/exiting the engine means less gas consumed... but it also means very poor performance.
