On another subject
altogether is a mention of the safety factor that our "Clean Turbo"
gives a young father of three bouncing boys. R.D. of Alabang,
Muntinlupa City, Philippines wrote me the following email:
""I
wanted to comment and give you some feedback on something that might
not immediately be looked at, but to me was important, especially with
a young family...and that's THE SAFETY FACTOR of having a Clean Turbo
installed. Being able to get out of the path of potential danger in
traffic.
On foot, you (or I do anyway) always feel like I can get out of harm's
way pretty well if something is coming at me. Same scene with previous
cars I've owned.
Now driving this minivan and the diesel, (types of cars I haven't had
familiarity with or owned until recently,) I found this wasn't always
the case, as it would have that...what I would call a 'hump' to get
over before the acceleration would kick in.
After the install, there really isn't the skip or hump anymore...that
pause before it gets it's second wind! It's still not a Jeep Cherokee
or an Explorer (prior cars), but it's definitely more consistent and I
realized it gives me more peace of mind that if push comes to shove,
I'm less likely to be stuck there like a sitting duck.
I hope this helps give perspective on one of the perhaps overlooked
benefits of the greater punch and power of your Clean Turbo device."
Why would the "Clean
Turbo" increase the performance enough to elicit this type of
response? Simply that our "Clean Turbo" makes the engine burn its
fuel more efficiently. More efficiency equals more power as well
as lessened emissions.
Thanks R.D.! We are glad to make your driving experience more comfortable for you!

OFFICIAL SMOKE TEST RESULTS!
The Environmental Chief for the City of Muntinlupa, Mr. Jet Pabliano, had his men perform a 'smoke test' using a city vehicle and our device. Of course it was a great success!
The city vehicle used was the truck pictured below. An Isuzu 4-cylinder non-turbo diesel pickup. You can see the smoke test equipment on the table in front of the truck and it's cable running back to the tailpipe. It is a simple smoke test
device, using a light emitter and a receiver to measure the desity of
the smoke particles in the exhaust that block the light from reaching
the receiver.
 |
The way the test was run is that six hard accelerations were done, and measurements of the exhaust smoke were taken of each acceleration, then a numerical result of the amount of smoke in the exhaust was calculated for each one. The six results are recorded and then averaged out by the smoke test equipment.
Mr. Pabliano told me that this trucks engine is well maintained and that the exhaust was just cleaned. He stated that the truck had never before registered below a rating of 2.00 -- he also mentioned that with this smoke test equipment a result of 2.50 was a failing result.
The
first six tests were run without our device installed, and the truck
did indeed rank fairly high in it's smoke output -- 2.35. Close to
failure -- and remember, this a clean and maintained engine and exhaust.
After this result, our device was installed, and six minutes after the first test, six more hard accelerations were performed.
The result was that the average of the last six tests measured 1.54
-- well below failure and well below any past smoke test result with
this truck! Needless to say, Mr. Pabliano and his men were
impressed...
You can see the test results in the picture below. You can also click on it to get a larger (more readable) version.
Very nice results for a device that costs less than P1,000 (USD23.00) and will never wear out!

Here is another one similar to the 31 August, 2001 item:
One of the firemen who is a driver of truck #146 (which is mentioned in the 13 August, 2011 item below) has a motorcycle that he put together from 3 motorcycles. The motor and frame started life as a 100cc Honda Wave, and one of the items added on was a carburetor from a 125cc motorcycle.
This made his bike run too rich and he had to clean his spark plug every three days or it would foul on him.
He had me put one of my
devices on his motorcycle and he just told me that it has now been 3
weeks since he has had to clean his spark plug!
31 August, 2011
Today I had some great
news! I just upgraded the device that was originally installed in
Freddy's Multicab about 3 1/2 to 4 months ago. Here is a picture
of his multicab:
His spark plugs are featured on the DoesItWork page in the third paragraph. Freddy is also the past president of the Filinvest multicab drivers association.
When we went for the test drive he told me that previous to the original installation, he would go through a set of spark plugs every two weeks. At a two week time period, his cab would start stalling and when he pulled his spark plugs out, they were always wet.
But with my device, he cleaned his spark plugs after three months of use and they are still fine -- a light brown he said. He also stated that he had just changed his spark plugs yesterday, which is about four months after the installation of my device.
Back on the test drive, he
definitely noticed more power with the new design and was very happy
with it. Isn't life fun when your device works? :^)
26 August, 2011
Today was a very good
day! I took my device to the City Hall of the City of Muntinlupa
for an inpromptue test by the City of Muntinlupa's Environmental
Officer, Mr. Jet Pabilonia. We went a short distance to his
testing center, where vehicles that are picked up for "smoke belching"
are brought for testing.
He pointed out a city vehicle that we would use as the test vehicle, which is the one pictured below.
The device was installed within 5 minutes, then the driver and I went for a test drive.
As soon as he pulled into the main street I saw his eyes pop open, and after he attained his speed, he said two words: "It works!" Then he was accelerating on and off down the street to make sure he was correct, and when I asked he again stated "It works!"
When
we arrived back in the shop, the driver began excitedly talking with
Mr. Pabilonia and the other fellows in Tagolog, and Mr. Pabilonia's
look was that of being impressed. When I asked what the driver
had said, Mr. Pabilonia stated "It works!" with a happy smile.
22 August, 2011
This was too good of a twist not to post! (And too fun to!)
A friend had me install a unit on his 50cc scooter -- yup, you heard that right. A 50cc scooter. It is a Chinese make, and he was laughing about that fact when I noticed things like missing screws -- he stated that is why it is cheaper...
I have to admit however, it is a very cute scooter as you can see here:
So, I installed my device and set him away on a test ride. I sat around talking to the guys at the shop until he came back.
I walked up to where he was heading to park, and waited for him to say something. He did...
"I need better brakes."
I had to shake my head a couple times, but I asked him to elaborate instead. He told me that before the installation, when he accelerated, the bike sounded louder, and maybe after a 1/4 mile might actually have accelerated some. Now when he accelerates, the bike actually goes -- but now the problem is that he has to get better brakes.
That was just too good not to share. Enjoy!!!

The chief mechanic for the
Muntinlupa Fire Department allowed me to install our device in his
private Jeepney. I had to remove his old-style "vortex" to install the
device. He had been keeping good track of his fuel usage, and had
just rebuilt his Isuzu diesel engine 2 months before. (He is the
mechanic after all...)
After one week of trial, he told me that his motor has more power, without using more fuel than before so he likes it and approved it for testing on a Fire Department truck. The station Major approved the test and we installed on this little guy here:
I did the installation 3 days ago and it turned out to be as simple as most other vehicles in that the intake was the same 3" diameter and once the cab was lifted was simple to reach and install. Here is a picture facing down next to the air cleaner which is the round piece just past the red box with the 146E on the side with a red circle showing where our device is installed:
When the driver of this truck went for his first test-drive, he took off so fast that he attracted the attention of all the firefighters, and when he came back he demanded that the other day-shift driver try it as well. When they returned they were talking with the other firemen for quite a while, and all very excitedly.
I just talked with the 2nd driver today since he wants a device for his motorcycle, and he told me that they had to go out for a fire at 4am this morning, and when he described the drive he had a BIG smile on his face.Man! I love my job!
24 July, 2011
Not intending to brag for
bragging's sake, but the latest design of our device has proven to be
again more effective than the previous one. While this is a good
thing indeed, it is also interesting when we do an installation and we
remove the previous device (here in the Philippines this is usually
a "vortex" which is a 1970s design) and hear the resulting comments
from the driver of the vehicle, because the driver invariably states
that our device works better than the previous one that was installed.
From these results I know
I now have the ultimate formula for effectiveness for various engine
types, so I am currently in the process of looking for a manufacturer
to make a final product.
19 June, 2011
To date, we have installed
our device on numerous turbo-diesel vehicles, and every single one of
the drivers has reported a phenomenal increase in acceleration, so we
are getting the diesel fuel to burn more cleanly on these engines as
well as the normally aspirated engines.
Also of note is that on
the older diesel engines on vehicles such as those used on the
Philippine 'Jeepney', we are getting an increase in consumption of
10-15%. Here are a few drivers with thier results:
 |
 |
 |
| Matias: “The smoke is much less! I don't have to push the pedal as far for speed, and I'm saving about 10% on fuel.” |
Rico: Retired Philippine Air Force helicopter engine mechanic: “I'm saving P50 per day on fuel and no smoke.” |
Noli: “Running much better with no smoke and I am saving P50 per day on fuel.” |
07 May, 2011
Today we installed demos on 2
motorcycles and 8 tricycles. All of the tricycles were the
2-stroke variety known as "smoke belchers".
After the installation, each rider did a test ride to make sure everything was working ok, and every single rider stated that he noticed more power upon his return.
What I noticed was that
the 2-stroke tricycles emitted very little smoke. Note that I had
no idea of their smoke output before the installation, only what I saw
after. And the most I saw was a small amount of smoke coming out
approximately 1.5 feet from the exhaust pipe on a couple of the
tricycles. This is VERY good...
28 April, 2011
Today we did our first
tricycle installations. These are not much different than
motorcycle installations, but one in particular was a milestone for us
-- it was a two-stroke tricycle.
The
four-stroke tricycle below was a bit of a show-stopper as well. The reason is
that the four-stroke tricycle was the first install that was done, so when he returned after
his first fare after the installation, all eyes were upon him. As he
pulled in he had a thumbs-up, a big smile and one word: "Excellent!"
One of the other drivers asked "Excellent?" and George repeated "Excellent!" The crowd seemed to get a bit bigger right about then...
 |
 |
The reason that the two-stroke tricycle installation
is important is that two-stroke tricycles are known the world over as
old, dirty, pollution machines and are named "smoke belchers" here in
the Philippines. This two-stroke tricycle was no different.
It is a 1988 Yamaha 100cc motorcycle with a steel-frame sidecar bolted
onto it. Here it is just after the installation, and in the
second pictures above and below you can see where we installed our
device.
 |
 |
The reason we put on a really good show for the other drivers that came around to watch when Rodel fired up his two-stroke tricycle, is because it didn't smoke as he revved it!
24 April, 2011
The owner of one of the
Jeepneys that had us install a device into liked it so much that he
asked us to install in his Mitsubishi L300 Diesel van and his
turbo-diesel car as well.
In
doing the installation in three Nissan 4-cylinder diesel vans, we
ended up replacing another "vortex" (as the only name I have for them.)
I took a shot of it after removal, and you can see that below:
The
driver of that van noticed an immediate imporvement over the
performance and power with the "vortex" replaced by our device.
The 1970s design that is so popular with our competition just doesn't cut it on modern cars.
10 April, 2011
Another new type of vehicle install:
Last weekend, an install of our device was done on a "MultiCab" which is a very small van built by Suzuki around 2005 with (my best guess) a 3-cylinder 660cc engine and used to transport people in a limited area. The owner wanted to run the device for a week to determine if he should recommend it to his other MultiCab drivers.
Here are a vew pictures of his cab. The rear open for access to the engine bay which is under the floor, the engine with circle showing where our device is installed and the cab from the front 15 minutes later, ready to go. |
|
|
UPDATE: At the end of the week, the owner told me that he noticed a definite improvement in the power of the engine and he stated he will invite me to the next meeting of his drivers so that we can promote our device to them.
He also removed a couple of the spark plugs to see if the engine was indeed getting cleaned out, take a look at our "Does it Work" page to see photos.
09 April, 2011
The first install on a 22-passenger Jeepney
(the main form of local transportation here in the Philippines) was
done today, and the owner immediately noticed a drop in smoke
levels.
He was in a queue to load up passengers, so we could not go for a test drive, but he was very, very happy with the results with the Jeepney just sitting there and his son revving the engine while he looked at the exhaust. So happy in fact, that he started telling his friends who had gather around to watch the installation, and they all wanted one also.
The
pictures below are of the Jeepney this installation was done on, circle
and arrow in the engine show where the installation is done.
Jeepney ready for install, engine bay and all set ready and to go 2
minutes later.

UPDATE: The driver reported that after a day driving that he has noticed the power has increased and he has had a small drop in mileage as well. He also stated that he does not have to push the pedal down as far as he did before to climb hills with a load of passengers.
UPDATE: The driver reported to me that he is very happy with the device because he has seen a drop in fuel usage, less smoke and he noticed about a 20% power improvement especially when going up a 28% grade with a load of passengers.
07 April, 2011
We did our first practical
installation on a commercially used transportation van today.
This is a 1995 Hyundai van with a newly-rebuilt 4-cylinder diesel
engine with new piston rings, sleeves and bearings throughout the
engine. The van is used to shuttle 14 passengers on each trip
from Alabang to Cavite (Philippines) and back every day.
With
the van empty, the owner showed us the smoke the van makes when he
accelerates before we started the engine installtion, it was
considerably more than both he and I felt it should have been.
He
had what he called a "vortex" (not the Vortex Valve) in the intake
manifold which was a sleeve with four angled blades and a 1/2" opening
in the center. He pulled that out and we replaced it with our device.
On the test drive, the owner kept checking the side mirror during acceleration, looking for the smoke as he accelerated. When we stopped, he mentioned that the smoke was indeed reduced and that the van had more power.
Not only is this an improvement over his previous engine perfomance, it is also an improvement over another competing product of the older 1970s design used throughout the industry at this time. To date we have replaced, and been told by the owners, that our product outperforms the Hurricane, the Vortex Valve, the above "vortex" and the Cyclone.
This is because the design has gone through 15 years of modification until it is the product that we have today. And it demonstratably WORKS!
UPDATE: After a long trip over the weekend, the owner reports that the engine is both stonger and smoother and he is getting an imporovement in mileage.
19 March, 2011
We have just completed our first motorcycle installation, and the results were very good!
The motorocycle is a 2010 Kawasaki 125cc bike made for the Asian market. (I am really impressed by these smaller bikes here by the way.)
The owner of the Kawasaki motorcycle stated that he noticed about a 10% increase in power, and that one day, while riding with he and his wife on the bike, a fairly new 150cc bike with a single rider was having trouble keeping up with him.
This is great news because it proves once again that our product can work in any size liquid fuel, internal combustion engine. We now have phenomenally successful installments in engines ranging from 110cc up to V-10 diesels!
Update: This fellow likes the product so much he had us put one in his second motorcycle.

I returned to the Philippine test site
to see what the prior year's test results would be, and was quite
pleasantly surprised.
First, you should know that the country of the Philippines, via the government Land Transportation Office (LTO) has been testing diesel emissions for some years now due to the fact that diesel being the cheaper fuel, it is the more popular fuel by a long shot, even for passenger vehicles in the Philippines, and of course, lots of smoke comes with the use of all those diesel engines.
In
testing for the last year on some trucks operating in Paranaque City,
Philippines from Nov, 2009 to Nov, 2010 we found the following results
from the LTO's yearly registration smoke test results which is stricly a measure of how many smoke particles are in the exhaust:
1. A four-wheel closed van – Fuso Canter 4D31 - reduced emissions by
54% – from 2.24 to 1.03.
2. A six-wheel tractor head – Isuzu 10PD1 - reduced emissions by 43% –
from 1.07 to 0.60.
3. A six-wheel tractor head – Isuzu 10PE1 - reduced emissions by 70% –
from 2.40 to 0.71.
4. A six-wheel tractor head – Isuzu 10PD1 - reduced emissions by 64% –
from 1.75 to 0.63.
This
is an average reduction of diesel engine emissions by 58%!!!
On
top of that, every driver who was asked about any change in the truck
after installation, stated that the truck felt 'lighter'. This is
due to the fact that the fuel is burning more efficiently, so the engine is producing more power.
Unfortunately the cameraman did not get pictures of all the vehicles, but we have these to show you a few of the trucks that were being tested:
 4-wheel delivery van |
 Isuzu 10PD 6-wheel tractor |
 Isuzu 10PE 6-wheel tractor |

I went to Florida for about a
month, and Jerry, who owns a 2005 V-8 Mustang, asked me to install one
of my devices in his car.
What
I did not know, until he called and told me the day after, was that he
had done a 0-60MPH
test the day before, and came up with a time of 8 seconds. That
is, he timed his Mustang going from a dead stop until it reached 60MPH
8 seconds later.
His car looked to be in very good shape, and I assume the engine was as well due to the lack of oil in the engine bay.
When he called me to inform me of his test, and of the 2nd test he had just completed that day, he stated that his 0-60MPH time dropped to an amazing 6 seconds. That is a 25% drop from his original 0-60MPH time of 8 seconds!
He told me that this was the only change in his vehicle, and he also stated that both tests used the same tank of fuel and the same location.
Nice!

I've recently returned from
setting up a wonderful test of our main product in the country of the Philippines.
A
friend of mine found a fellow with a trucking company that runs trucks
for a couple of the largest delivery firms in the world, and his own private transfers and has been keeping wonderful
records of everything time a wrench was turned on one of his trucks for the last three years.
Because
of these records, as well as records of federaly mandated emissions
testing (which California is not doing yet) we will have concrete
numbers on the before and after installation of our units on his
trucks ranging from a few small Isuzu diesel delivery vans to a
6-wheel, 26' diesel
"wing van" to a few Isuzu tractor-heads running V-10 diesel 10PD and
10PE engines.
I will keep you posted as we get more data.

I thought I was hot stuff making a 7-year old car produce almost zero
pollution...
One of my customers drives a 1999 Mercury
Grand Marquis, and just had to do her bi-annual California smog test.
Her 10-year old American 4.6 liter V8 car
emits zero pollution
on all but one of the gases tested in a California smog test, and only
at 15MPH! (25MPH measured zero!) These include
Hydrocarbons, Carbon Monoxide and Nitrous Oxide. That freakin'
big 10-year old V8 car emits less greenhouse gases than the 7-year old
4-cylinder Honda we tested!!!
You can see the results and download both
of the reports on the "Smog Test" page.
09 October, 2009
I
installed our modifier on a 1999 Honda Odysey today, and a mechanic
happened to have checked it out before and after the installation and
on his own stated to me that he noticed a marked improvement in the
car's performance after the installation. Burn more of the fuel,
get more power and a cleaner exhaust -- nice package!
24 September, 2009
In August of 2009, LA firefighters from Sunland-Tujunga, California as well as all over California and surrounding states
in the area fought one
heck of a fire, fighting hard to keep the fires from destroying
homes in the area.
We, having many friends in the area, decided to thank the Sunland-Tujunga firemen by giving any fireman that wanted one, a free 1-stage Air Flow
Modifier for the duration of this month.
This
program went off very successfully. Upon dropping off the flyer
stating our offer and some business cards, we were immediately asked to
install 2 units. When we returned later that day to do the
installations, we were asked to install a third unit as well.
Within one week were were asked to install another, and when we arrived to do the installation, we ended up installing 2 more free units (we were told the word was getting around from the first firemen that our units are producing good results) plus one more paid unit for one of the firemen's 2nd truck.
We are very happy to help our Sunland-Tujunga
firemen because of their working so hard to keep the fires from
destroying homes in this area. A heart-felt "THANK YOU!!!" to all
of you.
