Not sure if it happens at your place, but we are being bombarded with Hiclone ads
on Channel 10 Games coverage. You know the drill..up to 23% more power & 15%
less fuel etc etc. Must be costing a bomb so folks must buy the things I guess.
Not wishing to open old wounds on this subject, but if they worked, would not every
car maker fit them at the factory ??. Dead cheap for those claimed figures.
If you fit two is it twice as good ?...:)))).....oldbaz.

The makers of Hiclone must have had 40,000,000 of the things made and they have to get their money back somehow.
They may have fitted them Free to the TV company cars so the ads are affordable. Tax claims with ads.
PS can the smaller ones be inserted into the windpipe of sellers to see positive results?
LUNG capacity should improve.
Maybe they also work in exhausts too!!!! Similar fitment to seller should be a good
test. They are stainless steel so should last no matter what passes through them.

The origin appears to have been lost in the mists of time but the old saying holds just as true today.
"There's one born every minute"
As an addendum you could also add
"There's one born every minute to relieve them of their hard earned cash"
Also covered by "A fool and his money etc".
And still people send money to Nigeria or some
Easter European country because they have just discover one of your long lost uncles has died and left you $xxxxxxxxxxx.
Just send $zzzz to cover expenses and it's all yours.

One born every minute yes....
How about, "Don't knock it till you try it?"
P.S. no affiliation with this product whatsoever, just positive results..

Care to explain the principle behind this wonderous creation?
To clarify, I mean how it benefits the internal combustion engine not the purveyor's bank balance.
I removed a similar "swirl inducer" from the intake of my NA diesel. No difference in fuel consumption or performance, but slightly less black smoke during hard acceleration. The swirl supposedly causes the heavier particles of dust to be thrown by centrifical action to the outside of the air stream. Nothing to do with increased efficiency.
Now take the action when applied to a turbocharged engine.
You reckon the Hi Clone will induce any more swirl than a turbocharger compressor wheel spinning at in excess of 20,000 RPM? How about the torturous passage the air must navigate through the intake system of even a non turbo engine?
Personally I doubt it.

Hi mate. Have been told by many they are about as good as a cut up tin of beer in your intake, however have fitted in two vehicles now and have noticed improvements. First was 98 3.2l petrol rodeo, drank fuel like it was going out of fashion, about 330km per 65l tank. After fitting 2 hiclones, stretched it out to 370km, the best result was 400km.
Have since fitted to a 2.5l diesel Navara, no noticeable fuel gains, however turbo has spooled up slightly faster, previously kicking in at 2400rpm and now just under 2100rpm. The hiclones are fitted between air filter and turbo, and between intercooler and inlet manifold. Definatley a must try, and with something so simple, that has the possibility to move mountains, with a money back guarantee, I still believe it's a no brainer...

Yes, I agree with the bit about no brains.

If I use my Donaldson air cleaner which also swirls the air flow, I use more fuel and seem to have less power.

Those vehicles must have been running too lean, because putting anything in the intake system effectively chokes the airflow by the profile of the object.
The hiclones probably restored the correct air flow by choking it down :D
