Post by Scott H »

This was brought up By Dr. Mike on FastVair and I thought it was interesting.

It simply just cannot be that simple!!

With all the technology out there...they are saying get out the hack saw???

It could be proof of the one conspiracy I do believe in.

Big Auto is in bed with Big Oil...the real reason Nader wrote "Unsafe."

Ford is all proud of 40 MPG in the new Fiesta???

Should be 140 MPG...They are holding back on us.

Vairs got 20 MPG in 1960 and it's only doubled in 50+ years??

Snake oil...

Search the interwebs, this has been covered to death. If you want real cutting edge technology, GDI and stratified charges, and HCCI.

http://alternativefuels.about.com/od/re ... basics.htm

Trouble with HCCI is that it only works under a very specific set of conditions, and those conditions are tough to maintain. Not that any of this applies to the average Corvair person, us retard can't even come to the honest conclusion that EFI is light years ahead of carbs.

:rolling: :rolling: :rolling:

I agree .

I can't imagine what it could do to help ????

It would make less compression and seems like the edges would be spots for preignition.
Then the guy says it turned his Metro into a hot rod :rolling:

I smell a Fish carb .
