Carlover76 Neutral Newbie October 21, 2003 Share October 21, 2003 Just like to check with you all whether anyone has tried those Power Jet or Air Max air injector? Is it useful by injecting more air for the combustion process which will improve fuel consumption? Does it affect the engine piston in the long run? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman Neutral Newbie October 28, 2003 Share October 28, 2003 I am also itching to try this one out .... but so far no reviews on it so I am holding back. Anyone ?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esky Neutral Newbie October 29, 2003 Share October 29, 2003 I think Ecotek is better since it's got a spring-loaded opening which varies the opening according to vacuum. Have had good reports on it from actual users, some had only better fuel economy, some had better fuel economy and response! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev_zone Neutral Newbie November 15, 2003 Share November 15, 2003 I myself tried on Airmax2 and this little thing do works well for me ! Pickup is faster as can see the rev meter shoot up even faster and feel the power of sudden pickup ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mash4077 Neutral Newbie November 15, 2003 Share November 15, 2003 Just fixed the E36 on Thursday at McWell. Bought on impulse. Initially car felt lethargic, but after a few km of driving, can feel the car perked up. In terms of FC, no difference whatsoever. Still monitoring.

Kiatmobile 1st Gear November 15, 2003 Share November 15, 2003 Hello, I fixed PowerJet into my Matrix. Bought on impulse. During the 1st installation, it does not perform at all as the fuel consumption keep lowering, i.e. 8.7km/l-->8.4km/l-->8.0-->6.4km/l etc. Then i went back the 2nd time to the shop is installed and i had hit 9.0km/l-->9.2km/l--9.4km/l--> 9.8km/l So, me still not very happy with the performance. Went back there to do adjustment again and that now, i'm monitoring. This gadget, have to trial & error as there're no fixed point on the air inlet. So now, monitoring lor....

Mash4077 Neutral Newbie November 16, 2003 Share November 16, 2003 oops ! Ya, its the E68. I was talking with a friend who's contemplating on getting a E36, that's why the number crept in. But like what kiatmobile said, this thing must keep adjusting to find the sweet spot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
E36UDM Neutral Newbie November 16, 2003 Share November 16, 2003 Yup you have to tune it to give you the maximum performance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman Neutral Newbie November 16, 2003 Share November 16, 2003 Like that damn siong manz .... everytime have to re-tune. Wonder if its good for the engine though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
E36UDM Neutral Newbie November 16, 2003 Share November 16, 2003 Need to tune it to the optimal mah to save fuel and maximise power If I'm not wrong they normally tuned it till the engine starts vibrating or cuts off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alant 1st Gear November 17, 2003 Share November 17, 2003 Was at Proserv last month and they were selling the E68...so give it a try...find that the rpm is willing to go higher and faster when accelerated. However, my concern is the gadget has a wire mesh at the inlet as filter...not sure it is sufficient to filter out smaller dust particle...whether it require any form of maintenance?

E36UDM Neutral Newbie November 17, 2003 Share November 17, 2003 Maybe you can improvise on that. I would be concerned as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super4 Clutched November 17, 2003 Share November 17, 2003 U should have bought Airmax2 instead...there's magnet inside but not for the E68... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super4 Clutched November 17, 2003 Share November 17, 2003 Agree with you that it actually performs on the spring loaded valves opening... BUT it's noisy, making 'hissing' noises... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esky Neutral Newbie November 17, 2003 Share November 17, 2003 Yeah, the "UUUUUUuuuuuukkkk...." noise is kinda annoying... it's there even with the PiperX filter installed! I guess you'll need to shove a rubber hose onto it and extend the hose's opening to somewhere near the front or bottom of the engine bay to reduce the noise... and for cold air! Speaking of cold air, just recently I've noticed that there's now a Super Quick Power (www.quick-power.com.tw) that attaches to the cold and wet aircon pipe for cold air! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
