I am pleased to say that the improvement to my take off from a standing start was absolutely astounding, in the first month I have gained an improvement of 25% on LPG and petrol.

Pajero Turbo Diesel 2.5 4cyl

John,

...Pajero has gained 4.3% in fuel consumption and has gained a very good amount of performance and the pull-up of the turbo has been noticeable. Grunt from 80-100km is better and hanging on to a hill climb is noticeably better. The diesel fueling, ie black smoking is improved and it just purrs along at 120km. Of interest on run of 700km mostly across town on free running motorways and city roads a 13% gain in economy was achieved so I would say that the potential is available for some good results....

I thought you would like to hear that I fitted the Hiclones and Supermax to the new 2.8 and went for a squirt. I live close to a set of hills that I have run a few vehicles up in the last week or so when choosing the Pajero over a Nissan Patrol or an Isuzu - damn excellent test hill. I decided on another Pajero on creature comforts but mostly performance as it outgrunted the rest of them up the hill. Anyway with 25km run time I was back at the hill. You can feel the grunt even in that short distance and the hill performance was even better pulling harder from 90 - 110km/hr. Pretty impressed I was. Will keep an eye on the economy but hey it diesel so what the hell. How are fuel prices doing over the ditch - we just got hit with a 6c/l price rise? (02-02-2000)

Pajero

John,

The latest addition to my Pajero has been a Hiclone air management device. After seeing so many ads and a test feature in a 4wd magazine, I thought I might give it a go. When I contacted the company selling these devices, they were very helpful with detailed information on their product. They even offered a 60 day trial as I stated that commuting was limited to only a hundred or so kilometres a week. Once installed, I was a little disappointed that my fuel consumption went up (from 15L/100km to 16.5L/100km) for about 800km. After about 30 days, it dropped dramatically to 13L/100km with fuel consumption now around the 12.5L/100km mark with normal driving.That has seen the vehicles range from 700km to 975km before the fuel light comes on, with another 150km (that is as far as I'm game enough to go) before I Need to fill the tank. Maximum range so far has been 1100km. I am more than happy with the product as I am now travelling 900kms a week. The savings made from the reduced amount of fuel used has paid for the Hiclone a couple of times over.

Pajero

John, Thank you for your incredible Hiclone product. Along with a definite increase in power, I have seen an 8% increase of fuel economy in my Pajero. That would have to be the simplest and cheapest gains I have ever come across...

Hi John,

I must say I am happy with the performance of the Hiclone. My fuel economy testing was not all that exact but there is a definite trend in the results: All my driving over the test was around town (speed never over 70kms). Refills were every fortnight. Mitsubishi Magna 1993 2.6 EFI Consumption Fortnight prior to install 8.9km/L 1st 8.5km/L 2nd 9.33km/L 3rd 9.16km/L 4th 9.66km/L 8.5% gain Can I expect to find further improvements or is that about the level that will be sustained? (I'd love to crack the 10km/L)...
