Looking at putting a Hiclone on a new Prado diesel (turbo) is it worth it

Fit a Felch with it and you'll be opening servo and selling the excess fuel you will get out of both the hyclone and the felch ;))

Chucky,
Are you sure you've got an ironclad money back guarantee if it does'nt live up to expectations in a very short timeframe ?
As you may have noticed, most posters on here are very cynical in regards to these devices. As far as I'm concerned, if they were as good as they're supposed to be, auto makers would have them as standard equipment to give their products an edge over their rivals.

I thought car makers & petrol companys worked together?

JohnR,
I think he left last week to make yet another fortune on the WA goldfields. He promised to get in contact, and GLOAT, should he trip over any of the pretty gold stuff.
ps Look out. The
Forum Nazis are afoot ;))

well off.

Chucky
If you did a search first i think your post would never have appeared on here. This has been done to death over the years.
Please, for the sanity of us all, do a search and read the volumes said on this subject.
Good luck, Colin.

Hi Chucky,
for every one making fun of you because you asked this question there is someone who swears by them. Personally i believe that the car manufactures make their cars as fuel efficient as they possibly can. Well its in their own interest, isn't it? My car is defiantly not the most fuel efficient 4wd you can buy, but i think the fuel consumption is mostly reduced by common sense. A lighter touch on the loud pedal, removal of roof racks when not in use, the right tire pressure and not carrying all of your
tools at ones would be more beneficial than a Hiclone ever could be.
Cheers, Udo

Chuck,
I use two, one each end of the air intake on my Diesel
Could have returned them for a full refund “IF” I was unhappy :-))
I'm not telling you anything that you can't read elsewhere, because everyone else will scream at you they are right, they will tell you I'm wrong LOL
Obviously they must have installed one (or two) and were unhappy, so they sent them back for a refund ??

Is it worth re-visiting the way in which you drive ? your right foot !
Throttle's on Turbo Diesel motors are designed to be held in the one position, and you let the turbo "whistle up" under load
Try not hitting the accelerator as hard, and holding speed, not powering thru.
It may even be worth it dropping your cruising speed back to 95-98 km/hr, and see just how much difference it makes.
This works a treat on the Navara.
Cheers
Bucky
