OK, here's a testimony that I have not shared before.
I just got back from my friend's house about 30 mins ago. She called me earlier this evening to ask why her car was jerking when accelerating after stopping at the traffic lights. This had been happening for the past 2 days occassionally after driving for a bit.
Prior to this, I had helped change her Oxygen sensor which had failed more than a week ago. The Check Engine Light came on and the engine was jerking and convulsing occassionally when she was driving and the fuel consumption was very high compared to normal. After replacing the Oxygen sensor, the jerking ceased and the fuel consumption was much better but it was too soon for her to say if it was back to normal.
So, I went over to check if there were any symptoms of the Oxygen sensor failure again and asked a friend who had an OBD2 scanner to tag along to check the ECU codes. Of course, the earlier Oxygen sensor diagnostic trouble code was still logged in the ECU, so he erased the DTC. He ran the engine and checked but there were no more DTC and the engine check light was also off.
During this time, both of us could smell the unburnt petrol fumes were very strong and wondered what could have caused this since the ECU did not flash any failure in the Oxygen sensor or any Air-Fuel issues. And this was coming from a 2003 import Honda CR-V that had a catalytic converter! We revved the engine a few times and the unburnt petrol smell got worse and the rate the RPM needle climbed was sluggish.
So he suggested I fix the FireStorm Booster into the CR-V to reduce the exhaust emissions since this is one of the function of the FireStorm Booster; that is to allow a more complete combustion of the air-fuel mixture and to reduce the exhaust emissions.
Guess what? After fixing in the FireStorm Booster, the engine started with just one crank, where previously before installing, it took 2-3 cranks to start the engine. We revved the engine and found that it was smoother and the RPM needle climbed faster and the engine was quieter when revved compared to before the installation. All this revving was done with the CR-V stationary.
What really caught both our attention and my friend's (the CR-V owner) attention was that this time after installing the FireStorm Bootser, the unburnt petrol smell had disappeared and what we smelt was the usual exhaust fumes that had a catalytic converter doing its job to burn up whatever unburnt air-fuel mixture.
Those of you who have cars with catalytic converters will know of the smell that is a little 'sourish' in smell, which signifies that there is no unburnt air-fuel mixture coming put of the tailpipe. Older cars without the catalytic converter will have the usual unburnt petrol smell from the tailpipe.
She was surprised and convinced that a little device like the FireStorm Booster had such a huge effect in removing the smell of the unburnt petrol.
I'm sure those of you who have installed the FireStorm Booster can also have this same experience with cleaner exhaust emission fumes.

QUOTE(kira_88 @ Jan 14 2012, 07:43 PM) bro, finally managed to get my car back this evening after 3 days of waiting for distributor replacement. Straight away i've installed it to the my car distributor. Haven't done the testing yet since i'm to tired to test drive it. But will surely update once i've tried it out. I can say Peter is a very helpful and resourceful seller. he patiently answered my question and even went to his japanese friend to translate the diagram of my fusebox. Thanks peter for helping me out! Thank you so much for your kind comments. Good to hear that your car has been repaired. I'm sure you will find your ride different than before the installation of the FireStorm Booster. Will be looking forward to hear of your experience after you have tested it out for a bit. Cheers.

QUOTE(kira_88 @ Jan 16 2012, 08:42 PM) after two days of driving with FireStorm installed, this is my experience 1. lesser engine vibration when idling at 600-700rpm even when aircond compressor kicks in cause usually my car would rock real hard 2. smoother gear shift for 1st and 2nd gear,less power loss on gear shift.My car is auto btw. 3. better pickup on higher rpm,didn't have to step hard on the oil to overtake at high speed. 4.as for the fc, still cant say much will update once i've finished my fuel tank overall i can say this stuff is good,worth every penny i pay Hi Hafiz, thank you so much for sharing your experience. I'm so glad to hear that the FireStorm Booster has gven you a better and more pleasurable driving experience. You should see better fuel economy when you're driving on long stretches as you dont have to step so much on the accelerator when you're cruising on the highway. If you're always stuck in traffic congestion then whatever you save will be lost when you get stuck in traffic. Enjoy your ride! Cheers.
