Same here. I got married and started a new job and found it hard to make time just to change the oil! :o I'm sure the drop in gas prices made this less of a priority for a lot of folks as well. ...
If you can pull it off, I guarantee you have a Nobel Prize waiting for you....
Hi Jager,
I spent a lot of time experimenting and researching before I was able to put together something that actually gave me gains. I more or less copied a lot of the work that SmithJetta did,...
So with a rating of -100 to 1.3 kPa, I should be okay? So if I'm shopping around, just try to make sure that it can handle at least 100 (+/-) kpa?
I dunno boys, I'm to the point to where I think...
I know that there is a whole measurment system to measure vacuum pressure, but I have no idea how to quantify any of it. How much vacuum will a manifold generate in the unit of vacuum measure?
I...
I agree. I think that all might be getting a few steps ahead.
I'm thinking about giving it a shot. I was surfing around and I stumbled upon a device called a non-relieving vacuum regulator. From what I read, it doesn't vent to atmospheric pressure to acheive...
Sounds good. Man, I really hope we can make some ground here. This is so frustrating.
I really want to get several opinions on how this device would work to control vacuum on my system. Anyone...
You have got to be kidding me. Making the car GO wasn't good enough and they had to go and give the stupid thing a brain.
Painless, when you open the door and get in your truck, do you hear a...
Can it really be that simple?? How does this differ from a partially opened ball valve? Do you know? If this turns out to be the missing link, my children's children will praise the name of...
I'm right with you on that, Russ. Exact same story with my Jeep. The car has at least shown a little improvement, but my Jeep won't budge. I really think the vacuum route is very worth seeing if...
Hey Mike,
I only really saw where he mentioned about the ball valve, but I didn't see anything about controlling the amount of vacuum. Jaxom made a good point in Painless' thread that putting a...
:D
I've come inches to getting a smaller pulley several times but all I've really done is the cold air and an exhaust.
You confirmed my thoughts about the ball valve with the vacuum. Is there...
Amen, Painless. An experienced mechanic is of utmost value here!
Did you see my idea (others may have tried it already) about the checkvalves on the dual delivery? What is it that you think will...
Jaxom,
Boy am I glad you jumped in here! I was on my lunch and had this idea. What if on my car I did a system like Painless had (dual delivery), plumbing into the air box AND the manifold? I...
I don't disagree with you. Fortunately, my cell doesn't get very hot at all due to the design and the amount of HHO I have it generating. My cell is also not under my hood, so I don't have to worry...
Hey Russ, just to clarify, did you mean that you found a sweet spot in terms of how far to open your valve, or where to place the valve in the line?
Also, there's something else I wanted to...
I'd be curious to know if that made a difference. I have a cold air on my car, but I also have a supercharger, so it's not really a good comparison. Trying to go through the manifold with a...
That is great info; thank you very much! If you guys don't mind, I'll take pics of my engines and you can give my your advice on where you think the best places to tap in would be?
Beautiful. That answered my questions and makes a lot more sense.
Is there any reason you decided to go 100% vacuum (aside from just seeing if it works better)?
Can you explain how the...
Well that actually did answer a lot more than you may have thought! I had NO clue that brakes had vacuum lines in them at all. I thought it was all just simple hydrolics.
Are there any other...
I was going to post these in Painless' thread, but I didn't want to thread-jack.
Pardon my ignorance here, but how does a manifold vacuum system work? Why is there a vacuum like going to the...
Very nice pictures, Russ!
I have a few questions.
Weren't you getting 19 MPG before this change?
What is an airstone? I'm a little confused as to how that's all hooked up and then also as...
I'm not sure as to the exact miles. It was a trip of several hours, though. I have to include the disclaimer that I was not actually there - it was my folks on their vacation. I feel pretty...
