Hey guys,

Picked up a copy of latest Repco catalogue to find this product.

"Vaporate is a patented collar installed over the fuel injector nozzle which transfers the engine heat to the injector nozzle tip to improve fuel vaporisation."

Claims to provide more fuel efficient fuel combustion and imroved fule consumption without any loss of power.

www.vaporate.com

Does anyone know more info about this, is it worth it? and has is made much of a difference??

thanks in advance.

Is there a point in looking into supposed fuel saving devices for cars that average 8L/100km ? :huh:

vaporate theory is sound.

but they don't make em for 4 cylinder engines.

if so, gains would be minimal if you drive like a granny :lol:; compared to v6 or v8 engines

I dont see how these devices could effect the nozzle spray pattern at all pushing 40psi through the injectors.

Reminds me of that scam Peter Brock used to have to advertise with the early commodores, from memory that one was the "polariser" or some crap.

Check out good ol' Dan's comments about this thing at the bottom of the page here: http://www.dansdata.com/danletters146.htm

yeah haha

look im not saying it will work but im not saying it wont either cus i havent had any experience or no somone that has

personally by the looks of it

it doesnt actually get in the way of the injector nozzle, didnt he say it heats it up giving it like a better burn or something like that

so in THEORY it should work but i dont know

Thats the thing. It doesn't do anything, but don't tell brocky :lol:

As far as I know, the fuel line just passed through a magnet. This magnet was ment to align the fuel molecules the same way, thus giving more power! You would be stupid to think this wont work.

He was so sure of it working he put it on his race car :lol:

Brocky acknowledges now that the Polarizer was a bit of a scam, he just wasn't mentally up to it at the time.

However, the intriguing thing with this Vaporizer gadget is that is being sold by fairly reputable suppliers (Repco, Kmart, etc) who will happily give a money back guarantee.

Usually the scams come from fly-by-nighters or people who wanted to fly-by-night but actually got ACA-by-day! :P

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
