We all know to save fuel you need a smaller carburetor So I removed the carburetor and filled the intake manifold with a thick chain so there is no chance of the chain going into the system and then I refitted the carburetor I did this yesterday. I filled up my car and drove 60km and then I filled up again it used 4 liters it looks like it works It should of used 6 liters



My car is a Hyundai Accent 1.3 XS



How ever the performance is about half . But the topend is still there . It takes longer to get there .



can any one tell me if this is good or bad



My name is Jim

That's about the opposite of using a spacer to increase the carb, right?

Doesn't that throw off the sensors, etc? And what about the extra weight factor?

If it was a Ford, especially a classic, I'd say it's a bad idea. But, hey, it's a ricer, right? : )

Whatever turns you on...

I usually find my cars run better and get better mileage right after a wash, and interior detail.

Why not just bolt a coffee can on the exhaust, that good for at least a

15-20 horsepower boost.

Some yellow stickers and a fire extinguisher will help too.

The chain is + - half a meter in side the intake manifold to restrict the air and fuel flow from the carburetor so your intake has to be less I do a lot of highway driveing and I go well once Im up to speed
