CARBURETOR
ENHANCER
The
Carburetor Enhancer and EFIE device were
developed to reduce the fuel consumption of
the regular fuel system to compensate for
both the regular fuel system increase in
efficiency from combustion enhancement
technology and for fuel that comes into the
engine independently of the regular fuel
system; for example, the HyCO fuel vapors or
the HyZor gas.

Q.
I have a carbureted vehicle and would like to
improve the gas mileage.
A.
Start with the Carburetor Enhancer (Basic)
kit. This is our standard recommendation for
carbureted vehicles. Do not proceed with any
other fuel saver until you get the Carburetor
Enhancer working. If the Carburetor Enhancer
does not work, then you have fuel system
problems that you need to solve before
proceeding.
The
Carburetor Enhancer is not actually a device,
it is a custom tuning technique for
carburetors. It is meant to enhance the
operation of properly functioning
carburetors. It adds a hose and valve on the
outside of your carburetor that should have
been included inside the carburetor when it
was built. (Both carburetor and vehicle
manufacturers ARE aware of this technology
and applied it in special cases, like police
vehicles.)
The parts
cost is about $15 and the actual installation
time is about 1/2 hour once you know what you
are doing. Adjustment takes seconds and then
you just drive normally. Most people get at
least a 25% gain in mileage (10 mpg to 12.5
mpg), a significant pollution drop, and
increased performance.
The
Carburetor Enhancer Manual gives very
complete instructions that have already
helped over 70,000 people.

Q.
When should I add the electronic upgrade to
the Carburetor Enhancer?
A.
Add the electronic upgrade after you get the
Carburetor Enhancer (Basic) kit working. You
need the 'basic' version working or the
'upgrade' will not do you any good. The
electronic upgrade allows the Carburetor
Enhancer to automatically 'custom tune' your
carburetor as you drive, for maximum
efficiency and performance. The electronic
upgrade gives your carburetor the fuel
feedback control enjoyed by fuel injection
systems.
Parts cost
between $60 and $150 depending on where you
get them and it takes about 16 hours to build
and install. Whatever gains you got with the
basic Carburetor Enhancer, this doubles them.
Thus if you got a 25% gain from your original
mileage, you may expect another
25%.
This
technology was applied to (on an OEM level)
to police carburetors just before the vehicle
factories switched to fuel injection. For
carburetors, it is 'state-of-the-art'
efficiency enhancement and you can build it
yourself.
You can skip
the Electronic Upgrade to the Carburetor
Enhancer (or add it later) if you choose.
Only the basic Carburetor Enhancer is needed
to get economy gains out of the HyCO 2A, ER
HyZor and Water Injection.

Q.
Can the Carburetor Enhancer burn the
valves?
A.
It is theoretically possible because this is
a method to custom tune the air:fuel ratio of
the engine. However, in many thousands of
installations on all types of carburetors (by
myself and self-install customers) since
1984, there has not been a single report of
any kind on engine damage using the
Carburetor Enhancer.
The
Carburetor Enhancer typically causes the
engine's exhaust to be significantly
cooler.

Q.
What do I do with a foam
float?
A.
OEM recommends replacement when the
carburetor is rebuilt, because the foam
gradually absorbs liquid and doesn't 'float'
as well.
We
recommend replacement with a brass float and
custom adjustment as per the 'Carburetor
Enhancer Manual'.

Q.
How do I apply the Carburetor Enhancer to
TBI?
A.
You don't. Throttle Body Injection (TBI) is
an early version of Electronic Fuel
Injection. TBI only looks like a carburetor.
It was quicker to design injectors into a
'carburetor' shaped module than to completely
redesign the intake manifold. Later intake
manifolds were designed to take advantage of
electronic injection
characteristics.

Q.
Would a VERY amateur backyard mechanic such
as myself be able to install your Carburetor
Enhancer?
A.
The Carburetor Enhancer requires that
you know what a carburetor looks like and
that you can operate hand tools such as a
hammer, screwdriver and knife. Everything you
need to know (and more) is included in the
Manual. The Manual was developed over 14
years to answer every question.

Q.
What is the best way to adjust the Carburetor
Enhancer?
A.
Our new CE adjustment procedure is to
keep opening the valve slowly as the engine
rpm keeps rising; when the rpm stops rising,
stop opening the valve. This procedure tends
to help keep people from turning on too much
vacuum.

Q.
I'm changing my carburetor, what do you
recommend?
A.
We usually recommend people with to go to the
Ford Motorcraft 2 barrel (with manifold
adapter) model 2150, which is (in our
opinion) the best all around carb. we've ever
seen. You don't lose much power or
performance and you get a major leap in
mileage.
You can tell
a 2150 from it's 2100 cousin by the little
rods that rise and fall in the ventures as
you work the throttle. These small tapered
rods make the air bleeds variable as the
vehicle uses more or less fuel. This simple
function makes the 2150 one of the most
efficient carburetors ever
manufactured.
The
Carburetor Enhancer actually enhances the
operation of the air bleeds and because the
2150 has one of the best air bleed systems,
we've doubled the mileage of these
carburetors more than any other; just with
the Carburetor Enhancer.

Q.
Do I need an EFIE device if I install the
electronic upgrade to the Carburetor
Enhancer?
A.
Only
if the fuel system has factory installed
sensors. With the electronic upgrade to the
Carburetor Enhancer, you are adding an oxygen
sensor to your exhaust. It does not need an
EFIE because the Electronic Carburetor
Enhancer (that you build yourself) does not
respond to the oxygen sensor output in
exactly the same way as the 'factory'
computers.
