Ford Territory - email

Hi John,

We had 2 Hiclones fitted to our Ford Territory several weeks ago and are thrilled to say we already are seeing about 20% saving, and that's after only 2 tanks of fuel. I would also like to get a price on the K and E filter you have. Thanks

12% gain in fuel economy doing 140km per hour up the centre, 21.08 % gain in fuel economy in normal motoring.

Ford Transit, email from Belgium customer

Hi John,

I just received the Hiclones and I installed them in my Ford Transit. I took twice the same route with and without the Hiclone and I can only say "amazing". I went for a trip on the weekend and I was able to maintain at 100 km/h, I could even overtake some trucks. The only bad thing was I had to pay 2000 bfr when it arrived here. Something with customs,... But I am until now very pleased. Could I expect some more improvement in the next coming trips? Or is it working 100% from starts. anyhow, I am advertising your website because I believe it works.

"I started at 4.6 km/l (13 mpg) without any Hiclones. I put two Hiclones in and got nothing for about 300km. My fuel economy then changed to 6.5 km/l (18.5 mpg). I then experimented with the placement of the Hiclones and eventually got 7.35 km/l (21 mpg).

 

85 XF Falcon, Letter

Hi John,

A few months ago I purchased a Hiclone for my 85 XF falcon and was very pleased with the results, especially with the fuel economy and smoothness of the engine. The fuel economy was about 14% better in city driving. I have recently sold the vehicle... Wants a Hiclone for his new falcon

 

1983 XE Fairmont EFI - 53% improvement

Dear John,

Please find enclosed the results of the test run on the 28-3-00 from Brisbane to Torquay (Vic) and return to TOOWOOMBA (QLD) during the Ford 75th Homecoming Rally. Before these figures were obtained I think it should be pointed out that a number of small test were done on the test car being One 1983 Ford Fairmont XE EFI 4.1 LT automatic sedan with a final drive of 2.7:1 ratio on 15" Ford alloy wheels.

Having now confirmed the mechanical specs it should be noted that pre-test consumption was 6.48 km/ltr a major tune-up was done and a fuel consumption improvement was obtained to 7.38 km/ltr. The decision to fit a HICLONE at the air censor mouth was taken which resulted in a fuel consumption of 8.28 km/ltr. (A 12% improvement) Then it was decided to fit a second HICLONE unit. As recommended by HICLONE staff this unit was fitted halfway from the air censor and the throttle body, which resulted in a very poor engine performance, it appeared to cause a air flow problem in the ducting of the air intake. By moving the unit from the middle of the air duct to the throttle body solved this problem.

The performance improved out site and fuel consumption improved in an outstanding result (to 11.32 km/ltr) as confirmed by the test results documented in the page enclosed. The 35% increase was without doubt beyond any possible results that I would have imagined possible by such a simple device as the HICLONE unit. John I thank you and HICLONE for your foresight to release the HICLONE to the Australian market, as petrol prices are increasing at such a ridiculous rate, someone had to come up with a way of reducing the running cost for everyday motorist.

John in all fairness I can not make any reliable or probable statement re the improved power output of the car as I don't have access to a dynamometer to check to performance output with or without the HICLONE units fitted regardless of power output the main concern to motorist is the fuel cost today although the engine performance did not appear to suffer in any way through out the test run. John I hope that the enclosed results are of use to you, and I give you permission to use these results for any promotional purpose that you and HICLONE may like and I have no objection with my name being made available to the enquiring public.

Yours Sincerely,

S. Phanton
