Tweaking capsule setup

[Incom]

Hi All,

 

Driving a G9 FL (A).

Recently just bought a used R size capsule, and have it install at the original workshop.

 

Pros:

- Engine smoother

- Engine feel more power

- Do not need to step the pedal so hard to accerelate faster

- Car more drivable even having full load

 

Cons:

- Increase FC, no matter wat fuel saving techniques i use.

 

Before capsule, FC is abt 15+KM/L, now is abt 14 KM/L only.

 

The issue is, usually i am the only one in the car when driving on weekdays. The car will have a bigger load during weekends, when going out with family members.

 

My question is can i tweak the tubing to be adjustable according to my driving needs

in the following manner.

 

Thanks in advance.

Dude, got a foto of the installation?

Hi,

 

U mean the installation of the capsule?

 

Thanks

disclaimer first ... i not engineer. this blows up in anybody face i not responsible hor.

 

If first picture is the original setup by the mechanic...

 

Then supposing air travels in the path of least resistance i suppose the second picture should work...

 

then you only have to deal with one valve instead of three. And you can be a bit more high tech and install a valve controller wired thru your firewall. then you can switch it from the cabin

Hi,

 

Yup the first picture is current setup i have in the car.

 

The second picture is . I am asking myself why i never think of that.

 

The question is where can i find this type of value and the air flow part (sorry i return my physics knowledge back to my teacher liao ).

 

Thanks

No lah... my physics also return to teacher liao. Last i heard he was very disappointed wif me

 

The T-joints and valve you can probably get at those hardware shops that sell pipes and stuff. I forgot where i saw those stuff liao... but i see before

 

At first i was thinking about those parts you can find in fish shops... but i think they are a bit too small... and since its vaccuum, you cant use plastic ones.

 

also you will need some hose clamps, then tada!! setup liao!! remember to post pics hor...

then we go R&D some more to put a microprocessor there to close/open the valve depending on engine load... then go contract manufacturing and patent Intelli-Capsule!!

 

Repeat hor... blow up not my fault hor!!

Hi,

 

It will not blow up, as now we are dealing with air.

 

As of the idea of the value open/close depends on load, last heard that someone has already combine capsule with ecotek to achive the effect.

 

I am also looking at controlling the value from inside the car, without opening the bonnect.

 

Will post the pics, if the project succeed.

 

Cheers

Thanks
