I remember seeing this mentioned ages ago, but i didnt have a car at the time so didnt pay much attention. Does anyone here have one fitted or can vouch for them either working or being a waste of money?

Ive got one....Cant tell yu if its working well- my fuel gauge is screwed...the car does appear to be doing better - (i think around £10 gives 170 miles) but as my fuel gauge is lying I cant be accurate at the moment.

Arse

Feel the magic........the magic is coming...Watch him starve himself to death!!Hehehehe

I've got one fitted and to be honest, i'm only getting about 20-30 miles more out of a full tank, cant see how £10 fuel is giving 170 miles cos thats damned near impossible. £10 will probably get you near 120 miles at the most and that's without the ecotec.

It's really up to you at the end of the day if you want one but beware, if you have a vacuum dial installed in your car, the ecotec will screw up the reading on the dial as it sucks in air thru the ecotec itself and gives the dial a false reading. I'm gonna sell my ecotec for £40 inc p&p if anyone's interested because it's either the ecotec or my new indiglo Vacuum guage

To work and back everyday (mainly duel carrigeway doing 60mph) I can easily get 200 miles from £15. That means no fun though!

1 ecotek valve! If you get one, fit it as close to the intake manifold as possible. Sorry for the delay, had to get a hold of a camera and my mate's car for the pic

ive got an ecotek now, not yet fitted.

just found this one the ecotek forum tho

Hi, i purchased the ecotek device for cinquecento sporting but have discovered there is no suitable place for it to be fitted. The only vacuum hose suitable shuts off during over-run. How do i go about returning the device, im still within the 30 days.

been poking around the engine tonight, and the only suitable looking pipe was the one to the brake servo. However, this only seems to feed one cylinder.. is that the where everyone else is connecting it to.. it doesnt make sense to have it just on the one cylinder and i cant see anywhere else where it would work :/


Cinq Sporting - and yes, its broom yellow!

that's where it's to connect. still get a fuel saving tho!




There's a certain satisfaction you get from driving over a Sleeping Policeman

So can an Eco-Tek be fitted or not? Where is the brake servo?

if its only supplying one cylinder.. surely its not going to do the engine much good.. one cylinder firing more efficently than the others..


Cinq Sporting - and yes, its broom yellow!

Right, lets get this sorted once and for all.

The pipe going from the servo to the manifold is a vacumn pipe.

It is not connected to only one pipe, the manifold is effectively hollow.

The ecotec valve allows air into the manifold.

The lambda sensor in the zorst tells the ecu what is coming out of the engine and adds more fuel to compensate for the extra air going in to ensure the correct emissions. If I could spell I would now spout on about sto, stoo, stow. Ach, the ratio between fuel and air that gives the best combustion.

IMHO
