RX8 - +mpg / +hp (under $1000)



Okay...So I got a fuel cell in my car (HOD) that increases horsepower, increases mpg, and cleans out the engine. Anyone interested?

I know this cars major plagues are just that...now if they could only remove all the brake dust from my brake smashing.

OK, I'll bite - how would a fuel container increase anything?

....or are you implying that you have a hydrogen burning Dow Fuel Cell to make electricity?

I added 16 nine volt batts to my rx-8. It cost less than $2000 and now my car is powered by solar radiation.

Man, I'm slow this morning - yes, the op seems to be trying to sell something, and his claims of +mileage and +power are some form of inducement to send your 'hard-earned' in his direction.......

Let's put this one to a vote -

Choice 'A' - ban his ***.

Choice 'B' - and the donkey he rode in on.

Choice 'C' - all of the above.

Are you calling the RX8 a slow 4 cyl???? I do not think it is a rocket ship but it is not slow and a 4cyl, please tell me you know you have a rotary under the hood. "getting fucked up by fat bitches in minivans" The only way that could happen is if you are shifting at 4K RPM, run it to 9K RPM and your 0-60 should be somewhere around 6 seconds. Heck, I can almost 0-40MPH before finishing some left hand turns.

Vaccum Ports

I got an auto 04, so I can't speak for other years.

Next to the brake boost hose there is a U shaped vaccum hose in the plastic manifold thing. I have a picture of it as my avatar.

If that's not what it is...let me know. I would prefer to know that all cylinders aren't getting hit so i could fix that.

This is what I think the OP is talking about in his own colorful way http://www.aquatune.com

Popular Mechanics tested it, and didn't find it works.

Attached is a page & photo from his Myspace

he removed his turbo lag, and he doesn't even have a turbo amazing!

from his myspace post:
"I put this in my car to increase my mpg, clean my emmissions, and increase horsepower, and remove lag from the turbo."

I know nothing about mechanics, but when you come in, and post that you are trying something, and everyone pisses on it...then too bad for them.

I'm not popular science. I don't know **** about cars. I build websites, and pay mechanics to try this **** on my car.

For the lag on power:
Whatever the lag is it exists. From pedal to go there is a wait. You can wind your way around the statement (based on my lack of exact terminology) to get yourself out...but honestly if it works it works. I don't really need your guys approval. Popular science won't send you a dyno test or pictures of the install will they?

Right, so let's try to work together before all of you **** on this one. Just be patient, and I will send back a report. I just don't like people who have never tried something to naysay it. How super cool is that? My life could be real easy if I just said...that will never happen.

It will. It always does, and it always will. The government tried to close the patent office in the 20's becuase the government stated that everything that came out already did. I don't see anyone bitching about their Super Nintendos.

So this is an alchohol/water injection kit that is also supposed to produce hydrogen?

I'll believe that when me **** turns purple and smells like rainbow sherbet.

The other company http://tinyurl.com/3dcdzg is in Jersey. You could see them do it and then **** on it. That would be great. To see something working, and then state that it doesn't work. More people should do that....oh wait. They do.

For any mechanically inclined comment:
If this works, then it's pretty clean proof that you don't have to own a hoss super-shifter 16 carp, super-tranny, oval grinder gate to do something to fix it.
