Hiclone. Do they work?

Hi David, the general consensus is that they don't work...the reasoning being that if they were that good vehicle manufacturers would put them in every car.

I'll say it before the others....do a search, this has been done a zillion times over :)

BTW, you don't realise the 'posting storm' you are about to create :)

no

No!, No!, No!.

They work for some, for most they don't

they work in my efi 4.2 gq, didnt notice much in power ,but did improve petrol economy.as said before ,they will work ,but not all vehicles

Snake Oil.

Plus what Moggs said.

yes david they do work dont listen to what others have to say!
i used one on our suzuki swift on gas.
i just soaked the air filter in snake oil and we were getting 132857189738123 kls to the litre.
no no and no

Not sure what the Pajero is like, but when I owned a challenger I was curious one day, so i removed the inlet hose to the Air box. The end of the inlet hose has a Hiclone like gizmo on the end. The end of the hose looked like a sharpened pencil.

I wouldnt waste me cash on them, but maybe the Challenger inlet hose needed some tuning to feed as much air into the Air box??? So you culd put two and two together and say if Mitusbishi thought they needed it, they would put one in at the factory - they did with the Challenger.

No they dont work and neither do those beanies made out aluminium foil that stop other people from reading your thoughts

I suppose david, if the Hiclone worked well, they wouldnt need to advertise so much. They dont have any competition so maybe that tells you something!!! Michael

If they are still offering your money back if your not happy with it, throw two on and go for a drive (long drive 1000km) was told it took two tanks of fuel to see the benifit - pity the people with long range tanks with 1000km + range
I did drove from brissy to melbourne and back again - returned them the next day no questions asked

I had one fitted to an EFI Nissan,did notice a performance change with slightly more low down torque.
Took it back after one month,no gain in economy at all.
Better to spend the money on regular tune ups.

David,

as you can see now from the other responses they don't seem to work on all vehicles. I bought one after the guy who give my 4wd training told me they were a must have and that it was working well to cut down your fuel consumption and improve your power. He had a Nissan GQ and apparently it worked for him and others on the forum agreed with that already.
I got one for the Ford Courier I had at the time and it seemed to reduce slightly fuel comsumption at the beginning but after a month or so my fuel consumption went high again. I put it on the fact the car was getting old but should have tried to return the hiclone and get my money back, but it was probably too late after I had it for that long. I definitely didn't notice any improvement in power.
On the Challenger I have now I did not put one and don't think I will.
Good luck,

Sly.

Oh no not again.

Get a larger bore cleaner join tuned exhaust sytem instead. If you absolutely have to, go ahead, I can testify that the warranty is genuine and no fuss.

Thanks for the feedback guys.Might give it a miss by the sounds of it. Spend my money on a couple of slabs of beer.
Cheers

Had one on a Landcruiser FJ60 (petrol&gas) and did get economy benefits, extra 40km out of tank of gas, can't say there was extra power. It appears to me that when they do work it is on old gas guzzler motors. Don't think I would bother with something that has a modern efficient engine like your pajero. Go the filter and exhaust route instead.

Cheers,
Mark.
