Anyone ever seen this????

[thewoahna]

I was out the other night, and met up with this kid, and we started talkin about our cars. He told me to check out this web site....

http://www.aquatune.com/index.asp

Has anyone else heard of this? Does it really work? Personally, I think it looks kinda shadey.

[hondaman-iac]

sounds like bull to me.

that site is definitely shady, and I wouldn't buy anything from a company that makes a circus out of a product as they do. They're definitely overstating the capabilities of their product, and the benefits you can get from using it. They also use a bit of creativity (to put it nicely) in describing the physics behind their product. Most of their "scientific" and "technical" information is plain fiction.

On the other hand, water injection, which seems to be the main thing they're selling, has been used for years, and does help performance in certain situations. This sytem seems to use engine vacuum to regulate the injection rate, which means you'll get more water when you need less, and vice-versa, but there may be some slight benefit to using it.

Oh boy, this is worse than Z-Max! Here we go...



This is a finely tuned water injection system unlike any other, giving atomization of water and air before going into the engine where it is further atomized,

-This makes no sense, are they talking about a deisel swirl chamber? Saying this is like saying jumping in a pool will makes you wet...well, no doy!


here in turn it collides with the fuel molecules making a highly explosive mixture and expanding the fuel

news flash, water doesn't combust, gasoline burns quite well. This makes it seem like internal combustion didn't exist previous to this product. Misleading.


As this mixture goes into the combustion chamber a marvelous thing happens - a chain reaction. All carbon starts immediately being removed inside the engine to the same state it was in when it was new.

Its called steam cleaning, and its not that smooth a process, if large chunks are being blow free, rather than being broken down chemically, guess where they are going to pass at high speed? The valves.


This happens because hot carbon and water don’t mix, somewhat like nitro colliding with glycerine

no, its NOTHING like it


and small carbon deposits going by valve seats and helping to break off other deposits...giving a clean sweet machine with a much higher compression ratio and a more complete burning of fuels, making in essence a half steam engine, half gas engine. This makes for a sweet tune, efficient combustion and 15% to 30% more horsepower.

That's like the Tornado claiming a 23% (!!!!!!!!!!) increase in power on a stock Sentra. Its grade A certified crap.


It’s been well known for many years, and still is today, that the steam engine is the most powerful of all engines and still used on aircraft carriers for catapulting jet fighters off the carrier.

Again, this statement makes no sense, and guess what its, used on carriers because it was easy to adapt, not because its the bomb.


Also, the water injection was used on the P-38 fighter planes during WW II and at their high altitudes gave the engine a whopping 68% more horse power.

They should be sued for this. They used water injection on these planes because they ran massive turbos at high altitudes and ran very, VERY lean. This can melt an engine, regardless of the application, the water injection was there to cool them off. Period. Just like it does in TC'd Hondas.


Therefore, at 2500 feet above sea level you could expect 38% more horse power; of course, that does depend on the condition of the engine and how well it has been tuned.

Nonsensical.


So here is what can be expected from our system: from 25%, to even higher, more miles per gallon.

BS


It gets rid of all harmful carbon deposits.

So does basic maintenance.


This also helps keep the oil cleaner and helps to maintain oil viscocity because of the absence of bi-products of unburned fuel and carbons that can contaminate the oil.

Oh good lord! This is like saying not running the car will keep the oil clean. Gues what, thats what the detergents are there for, and if you use good oil, then this simply isn't an issue


AquaTune is like no other water injection system in that it is, in actuality a fuel cell hydrogen processor.

>stunned silence< they've got some balls, I will hand that to them.

It produces hydrogen-rich bubbles before being introduced into the engine draft. After this it becomes an even more highly enriched hydrogen as it collides with hot metals and combustion and it drops the engine combustion temperature down. Now the engine timing can be advanced up to 7 degrees over factory specifications, if so desired.

Its called hydrolosis, and these people are encouraging non professionals to advance their own timing by seven degrees?? I smell law suit...


It has stainless steel water jetting and internal micron filtration with up to 6 microns assuring that it will never stop up.

One wonders if they have read their own ad.


Note: most people are reporting from 35% to even higher better fuel mileage. In part, this is due to a much higher torque range and horse power because your foot is much higher on the gas petal to achieve your best miles per hour.

so, by this logic, if I put a block of wood under my right heel, i can get better mileage, hmmm, did I mention I'm an alchemist as well?


At times, we also add a 1/1 ratio of 70% by volume Isopropyl alcohol for added horsepower.

What's a ring job run these days?


We are the AquaTune Company since 1972

Yet they only start advertising in 2001, hmmmm...








as they say, if it seems to good to be true, guess what, it is.


Caution: Use of this product in combination with a Tornado will automatically result in 1000+ hp, please upgrade your kaneuter valves....

^^^ LMAO that was a great breakdown of there whole site, i hope someone from there company reads that.
