I am not saying all the stuff the push is sake oil, most of it isn't. But stuff like the fuses and grounding kits are definitely snake oil. This is from someone who has been watching BM since the 90's when we had to get the episodes on VHS. |

No-one talked about earth grounding kits. Optimization of combustion speed is something that engine manufacturers are working on it for some years. Here is an illustration from the latest GR Yaris engine promoted by Toyota as "dynamic force engine". BUT as always, people are more willing to pay their hard earned money to a manufacturer and have the latest new thing than to listen old grandpa Keichii
Again I am not saying that I will put it to my engine because I am not chasing personally a 0.1 sec. lap time improvement, but at least there is some reasoning behind this. Last edited by nikitopo; 11-07-2021 at 08:30 AM. |

You implied that the fuses actually do something. (At least that's how I read it) Was I wrong? |

@PulsarBeeerz It does not make just noise if the ECU adds more fuel and your tuner has to do a MAP remapping, but anyways these have been discussed already and I'm not sure what's your problem to go back on this topic in this thread. Hope the best with the K24 swap which looks you are active and just pray that none of these guys to not get involved in a frontal collision with that engine ...
