I've looked into the Hiclone a couple of times,Mr Shin laughed at me when I spoke to him about it, saying that there is mixed theories out there, I also spoke to my high-school physics teacher. Fuel is only usefull in vapor form, therefore anything that you inject into the combustion-chamber must evaporate before it can be burned. The theory of a Hi-clone is that the spiralling air will cause a slight vacuum in the centre of the intake hose, while causing the air nearest to the outside of the intake hose to move quicker (have I lost you yet?) Essentially, same volume of air is forced through a smaller gap increasing it's speed, combine this with the vacume caused by the spiral action (think of a tornado) vaporizes fuel to a greater extent and will distribute the vapors more evenly inside the cylinder. Thus achieving a more consistent burn and slightly larger burn (more fuel vaporized, therefore more fuel able to burn) Spiral-max, which claims to move exhaust gases quicker, I can't really see how that works, but there is some merit to the theory of Hi-clones in the Intake. if I ever get the spare money I'll put one on and test the theory. I have also spoken to my old mechanic who is into 4wd racing, apparently one of his friends got some results from the hi-clone, when attached to his Nissan Patrol. This is just my understanding of the situation I'm not saying wether or not it works, only stating what I have heard. Good-luck and if you do try it and it works please let me know asap 8<) Big Don [Report message to a moderator]
