Commodore VS

I first heard about your Hiclone from a TV ad a fair while back, and at that time didn't own a car so I didn't take much notice of it. About 7 months ago I bought a stock VS Commodore and have slowly been doing it up. I then remembered about the ad I saw, looked up your website and thought, hey I might as well, it's got a money back guarantee if it doesn't work. So I installed one about 6 inches back from the throttle body and took it for a drive. I know you say it takes a little while to run in, but I noticed a difference immediately. The car feels so much lighter on take off, accelerates so much better, and is getting awesome fuel economy. All this car has is a HSV style cold air duct, K&N Air filter, set of pacemaker extractors and a 2-1/2 inch sports exhaust, and I am now getting 490-500km from a full tank (which only fills up 45 litres for some reason and used to get only 425-450km to a full tank).

1992 VP V6 Commodore, email from a JP

Hi John,

Well, this afternoon I installed a Hiclone unit into my old (1992 VP Holden) V6. I don't know if you have seen under the bonnet of a VP. The air cleaner is at the left front, there is a flexible unit for vibration then a long angled tube tube and then another flexible unit to mate with the engine air intake and throttle body. I mounted the unit at the end of the long, angled tube before the corrugated flexible coupling to the engine. This would be about 150mm before the main engine intake body. That took about five minutes and I am 63! I did it while my wife was getting afternoon tea.

I had read all of your documents and thought that I wouldn't take much notice until after I had done over 100kms. Well, after we had our coffee etc, I said I would take the car for a small run, not expecting anything at this stage. So I went around an area where I could get up to 80kph and did 15kms. Well I was surprised in my own quiet street when I went off. I used the normal amount of pedal as I had been using for years in our quiet area, but suddenly had to back off. During my little jaunt, I was a bit amazed at the difference of power I got out of my old V6.

As far as fuel consumption is concerned, I have some records and will be interested to see if there is any difference in performance.

VS Commodore

Dear John,

On the 24th July last I phoned you, ordered one of your Hiclones. Well I must say from the first time I started the motor on my VS Commodore I could hear the difference. As I was reading through all that you sent me, I can fit another Hiclone beside the other one. So why not. Also I can fit a FuelMax so why not...

1999 VT Commodore V6, letter

I recently fitted the Hiclone device to my '99' VT auto Commodore. Before fitting the Hiclone the fuel consumption was app 24mpg city, 38mpg highway. I then had the computer slightly modified which improved the economy to app 25.5 city, 41mpg highway. With the Hiclone fitted the car went from Cairns FNQ to Adelaide return and the fuel economy went to my surprise 6L/100km which is just on 47mpg highway at speeds of 110-120kph plus. The city economy didn't change much from 25.5mpg. The full tank gave me a range of 1180kms confirmed by the on-board computer readout. The passing and hill climbing ability was also improved. To finish I am very pleased with the Hiclone and would recommend it to any one wishing to get better performance from their vehicle.

1998 VT Commodore V6, email from Toowoomba

First i'd like to say that the hiclone is working fantastic. A bit too well for the computer can not accurately report the km's to empty. It's seams to have outstanding fuel efficiency with a 3Hp increase dyno result at the back wheels. 1998 vt commodore. Stock. from 11.2l \ 100km to 8.6 l \ 100km for highway driving. Even city driving is improved. No results as yet. Very impressed. Amazed. Rodeo 2.6 litre EFI 1989; Quote from phone conversation "It has at least a gear better. I can go up hills in overdrive where I used to have to change down."
