Ecotex valves

[clio_1.2]

Been looking at these ecotex valves. they have been given really good reviews about better fuel consuption and all round a better running car. Does anyone have one on there car? Or know much about them?

 

[Scoobywhoo]

Imo they are not a lot of good !! Can see the theory but - in practice i really can't see them doing that much if anythin at all. !!

ive got one on the valver as it came with it, not sure if it does anything but it sounds w**k for some reason?? u can have it for £20 if u want?

 

[The Big Yin]

Oh No not again - w@nk IMHO of course
This has been discussed several times before and still gets the same answer NO NO NO!!!!

Well that just about sums it up really. looks like ill save some money and put it towards an induction kit. So what as a better performer an open IK or a performance replacement filter?

You have a 1.2 dont waste your money most ik's lose power and you certainly dont want that - Save up for good suspension (coilovers)and better tyres and your car will be a more entertaining drive

the first time i realised i had one fitted to my car is when the vacumm hose came off it and my car wouldnt idle and i had no brakes :S

Oh dear

I think that definately concludes the discussion on ecotek valves..the general opinion is that they are bollox and a waste of money.

if its a 1.2 16v you have get an induction kit with a k-tec relocation kit, if not get a pannel filter for your standard air box.

i put ik on my 1.2, makes it smoother and faster. AND sounds gr8

Had one for many many years and tend to get better mpg with it switched on than when it is switched off. With all the cheap ones being sold by those who don't want them, get one and make your own mind up. Simple screw/unscrew to switch on and off.

Fair point ^
