Hi guys
I came across this website: Ecotek South Africa (http://www.ecoteksa.co.za/).
Do any of you know about this CB-26P (http://www.ecoteksa.co.za/cb26p.html) valve?
On modern cars the CB-26P device works in at least two distinct ways to improve performance, it collapses the manifold vacuum allowing briefly for a richer mixture on the re-application of a trailing throttle - thus significantly improving throttle response - and it creates an element of off-throttle turbulence (increasingly being used by Ford and Mercedes Benz in their performance engines) making acceleration smoother and more urgent.
Improved petrol consumption is the 'Holy Grail' of motoring gadgets - many have claimed it but few have proved it conclusively due to the lack of exact repeatability in practical tests. The Ecotek CB-26P has long been acknowledged to be capable of improving fuel consumption on older cars but these effects are considerably reduced in modern EFi cars where combustion is controlled electronically - the more modern the car the tighter and more accurate the controls.
The effects of the CB-26P have been comprehensively tested in the Prodrive Laboratories and details of the tests are here. They concluded: "The addition of the Ecotek CB-26P device saw a reduction in both fuel consumption and CO2 emissions in all cases".
Thanks. :)
