this thing is interesting..it seems to be truthful too..

one thing i was wondering is why do you need two of those for car with engines bigger than 2.6L?

And how loud is it? i saw that little video clip on the tuning of the thing and it seemed kinda loud, with the hood down and car in park, if you rev it, can you hear the device at all?

Yes, you need 2 for anything over 1600cc. I don't know if it works with a Turbo either.

As for noise, yes you hear it inside the car. It is sort of a faint weeze, but is is audible. You get used to it. In fact the weezing lets you know it's still working properly. If it doesn't make noise then you have to readjust. It only makes noise on de-accelleration or when the car is reving down. Not when you gas the car. It only lasts for a few seconds. I haven't tried the little silencer/filter but that would seem to at least cut the noise in half. But it isn't that bothersome in the first place, especially when you have Parada Spec 2 tires, an Intake, DC Sports Twin Canisister exhaust and the CD player going.

As I've said, it has added 2-4mpg per tank so far which means I'm saving a little money. If gas keeps going up it is sure to pay for itself even quicker. If it didn't work I wouldn't sell it. I was under no pressure to give it a good review as they gave it to me to try. So if it was a joke, I wouldn't even try to sell it.

Hope that helps. I'm still working on getting my supply here. pricing has yet to made, but with the Sterling Pound killing the U.S. Dollar, the exchange rate is not in our favor. PM me for more info.

I've read every damn word that is on their site regarding the CB-26P. I personally have the belief that this device will impove emissions, gas mileage and to a small extent, performance. I have a buddy in the UK whom has one of these and he swears by it (not at it, for it).

(Q) How does the device work?

(A) The device injects very small amounts of agitated air into the inlet manifold at certain specific pressures. This causes turbulence in the induction gasses which creates a better suspension of fuel molecules and thus better combustion, producing a more efficient and cleaner burn.

For those who are interested in what it looks like installed and what it sounds like, check out these links (first is broadband, second is dialup):

Heres the unit.

(Q) Does the device work on cars with a Turbo?

(A) Yes - Turbo charged cars work using a pump to increase manifold pressure which forces the fuel air mixture into the combustion chamber. This extra pressure shuts off the CB-26P device and accordingly it is inoperative whilst the engine is under boost. However it will be effective at all other times as with normally aspirated cars. With many Turbo cars, non-Turbo performance can be a bit sluggish - many find that the improved response from the Ecotek considerably improves the driveability of their cars.

Thanks for the help. I just put my order in. Coming from England so it will be a week or so.

One edit: The unit works on all engines up to 2.6L which is 2600cc. I had put 1600cc. My bad.

Price has yet to be set, but with the dollar taking a beating my currency exchange rate wasn't very good. So I'll figure prices once I get the invoice.

Still with gas prices inching ever higher, this will become a real money saver. I'm paying nearly $2 per gallon for Premium in Chicago, so just imagine what it might get to as the springtime comes. We may see $2.50 gas prices or higher.

Interested? PM me. I'll keep all in the know.

Here is a pic of the CB-26P on my car. It is on the brake vacuum line about 12" from the intake manifold. have to sort of point it down or it hits on the strut bar and makes a noise way more anoying than the "bov" noise.

hear are few more photos of my new products

This is the Hypervoltage System
I took out the CF heatshield to find a place to attach the unit. This worked out great. Plus the stupid heat sheild didnt' do anything anyway. (see the hyperground wires too)

none of it is hard at all. the ground wires require one extra 12mm bolt. I found two extra tapped holes to use as grounds. If you look I've moved the engine pick up to the right side, there is an extra hole, and if you look in the hypervoltage pic, you can see where I put a wire to the trans. That is where I put the extra bolt.

CB-26P takes 2 minutes to put on. Cut the hose, put on the clamps. Takes a couple minutes to set the unit but not hard at all.

Hypervoltage, if you dont' have good place for it Like I found, you might attach it to the battery shield on the outside. That took 5 minutes. Hardest part was find the right spot to put it.

For those interested, I will be receiving my first shipment next week. I have red, blue and gold coming.

With gas prices looking to go up, this is a way to keep a few dollars in you pocket.
