We get this question all the time. The answer is simple: Your car is being damaged right now by unburned fuel! Our devices help not only eliminate carbon deposits caused by unburned fuel - but will ACTIVELY clean out your engine every time you drive. Over the first few weeks you will notice that the engine becomes smoother and smoother. Then it will level off at a new level - at which the engine continues to steam-clean itself every day!
Every Speed Plus device we've installed makes the enginemore quiet & calm. It stops knocking or "pinging". The Speed Plus changes the combustion cycle and makes it more even or "round". This happens immediately upon installation, and from that moment on your engine works in a new mode. The effect is not only less noise, it's also less vibration, resulting in reduced strain on the transmission leading to smoother gear shifts, cleaner pistons and valves, and generally better engine operation.
All of the above happens without losing engine power. In fact, any Drive on Speed Plus device widens the torque range and makes the vehicle accelerate faster. After acceleration, you don't have to press the gas pedal as much to keep riding.
Easy undo: Our technology does not change your vehicle's engine or computer,
Will it void my car warranty?
Not at all as it does not require any mechanical, chemical nor electrical modifications or cuttings.
How does it work? Ans. SPEED PLUS is a catalyst converter that is activated chemically during fuel and air intake combining the elements of the air to produce maximum power in combustion. It contains a catalyst that reduces the formation of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide and changes the left-over unused carbons into combustible gases which result to added power to vehicles and also giving additional mileage while reducing carbon emissions.
What is a catalyst? Ans. Something that causes a chemical reaction without changing its own composition.
What does the catalyst do? Ans. It lowers the "activation energy" of the pre-combustion process allowing for transformation of the components of the fuel to form a more energetic mixture. This results in an increased fuel economy, a more efficient combustion and a decrease in harmful emissions.
Will SPEED PLUS damage the engine? Ans. No. SPEED PLUS is installed outside the main internal combustion engine. It does not interfere directly with the functioning of the engine. It is designed to be safe and effective with a 2-stage filtration process to ensure that foreign particles do not get into the engine via the device. It is a specifically formulated retrofitting device that is engineered to help the fuel burn more completely resulting in a smoother running and clean engine. The air taken in by SPEED PLUS does not cause the air-fuel mixture to become too lean to cause any overheating of the valves.
How much savings in fuel costs can be expected? Ans. One can expect a minimum savings of 20%. Tests have shown that a fuel savings of 20% up to 50% can be achieved. An average of 20-50% was usually observed depending on driving conditions and habits.
What else can be expected besides savings on fuel? Ans. One can feel an almost immediate improvement in throttle response. Better and smoother acceleration would be normal. A drastically reduced emission would be obvious and expected.
How does SPEED PLUS differ from other existing anti-pollution and gas saving devices? Ans. SPEED PLUS is a mechanical device and does not require any chemical additive to function. It is made from high grade materials and requires only minimum maintenance.
Is there a warranty on the product? Ans. Yes, there is a one (1) year product warranty.
How long can SPEED PLUS last? Ans. SPEED PLUS is designed to be long lasting. It has a durable and effective minimum life of 5 years and maximum of 10 years.
Is there any maintenance involved? Ans. SPEED PLUS is designed to be hassle free. You only need to have the external filtration element cleaned every 5000 km. There is no need for an adjustment or tuning.
Is SPEED PLUS suitable for all engines? Ans. It can be installed in any engines (gas or diesel) so long as there is a way to tap into the intake manifold.
Is it difficult to install? Ans. On most cars, installation takes less than 30 minutes by a competent mechanic or someone who is technically savvy.
Where is it installed? Ans. SPEED PLUS is installed at the intake manifold of engines.
How long does it take to recover the investment? Ans. Return on investment is typically less than 6 months. It depends on how much driving one does and on fuel savings percentage. Other benefits such as prolonged life of spark plugs, engine oil and the engine itself make the investment even more worthwhile.
How does it differ from a catalytic converter since it is also an anti-pollution device? Ans. A catalytic converter is a post-combustion device that reduces pollutants by chemically treating the exhaust gases. SPEED PLUS is a pre-combustion device that promotes better combustion to minimize unburned fuel in the exhaust gases by ensuring that the air-fuel ratio is within the proper range prior to combustion.
What causes black smoke and exhaust pollution? Ans. Unburned fuel being blown out the exhaust. Carbon monoxide (CO), Hydrocarbons (HC) and aldehydes are generated in the exhaust as the result of incomplete combustion of fuel.
How does SPEED PLUS reduce pollution? Ans. Since smoke is unburned fuel, SPEED PLUS will condition the fuel to burn more completely.
How does SPEED PLUS give an engine more power? Ans. By conditioning the fuel to produce a more energetic mixture of fuel components which enables the fuel to burn more completely and combust with more energy, there is more efficient combustion process with added energy which increases fuel economy and reduces harmful emissions. Better combustion means more power.
How does SPEED PLUS keep injectors cleaner? Ans. SPEED PLUS breaks the fuel down into exceedingly fine mist by reducing surface tension of the fuel which results in improved fuel burn because of increased surface area of the fuel. This improved burn is constantly working to clean the fuel line and injectors.
How does SPEED PLUS protect the engine and prolong engine life? Ans. Approximately 30% of the exhaust (fuel soot) from the combustion chamber is trapped in the engines' crankcase. This contaminates the oil in the engine and is the main cause of oil breakdown. The main cause of oil breakdown comes from running at high temperature and friction. SPEED PLUS does not cause the oil to run at a hotter temperature. SPEED PLUS improves the combustion process thus allowing more complete burning of the fuel thereby substantially reducing fuel soot levels thus keeping the oil cleaner.
