Tony Quaker contacted us to tell us about the effect of the device on his Fiat Punto, here is what he said and some pictures he kindly sent:

"I own a Punto sporting mk2 2000, and have recently fitted the ecotek on my car, and oohhh boy has it made a difference.....

The other mods I have on my car are Peco full stainless exhaust, K&N Induction kit, and K1 10mm Racing Leads. When I tune the ecotek valve properly the valve makes a rasping noise when I rev to about 2-2.5K.

On to performance, WOW instant change, the throttle is a lot smoother and the car pulls up to the red line easily in 1st, 2nd and 3rd gears.

I recently timed the 0-60 time on my car to see what my mods + the ecotek has done and the results were amazing my time was about 8.7- 8.9 seconds I was happy. (To enlarge a picture click on it)

I would have never done it in that time without the ecotek because my car would struggle to get to 6k revs. The Ecotek valve does certainly do what its suppose to do at higher revs I'm v happy

As for mpg well, I love putting my foot down so I get about 30- 35mpg. I did reset the battery once and drove the car normally, I got around 45-48mpg, I was impressed with this result also.

I do highly recommend this ecotek valve to anyone, and if anyone says that this product doesn't work then they have obviously not tried it out for themselves."

Thanks Tony - glad you like it!

Rens contacted us about his Ford Fiesta mk4 1.25 litre Zetec-s he said:

"Hi I just wanted to tell you after I installed and tuned the device finally the right way I noticed a very big difference not so much in performance but in fuel consumption. I drive a lot in the city and on a tank 40 litres gets me 300 km, now since I installed the Ecotek I drive on a 40 litre tank gets me 500 km that's 1/16.5. So I would like to thank you very very much, I'm very happy with your product!".

Thanks Rens - glad you like it.

Martin contacted us with fitting pictures and a sort term review of the device on his Ford Focus 1.6 16V Zetech-S. Here are his initial impressions:

"Rough idle gone, when idling car is smoother and when put under high electrical load - fan etc.. Revs also recover quicker.

Response is up, engine runs a lot smoother and seems to give more power.

Fuel saving - at this stage I estimate about 10 miles improvement which is not much, bit disappointed here as it was looking better initially.

Usually to half way mark when 90% is motorway or above 50mph I get 200 miles got about 215 today , will see over the longer term but at least there is a noticeable difference. Thanks Martin."

Note the different fitting between the Fiesta and Focus Zetec S engines - remember, if you need any more help just call our help line on 01844 - 212939 of get in touch via the 'Contact Us' page on this web site.

Sgt 'Wizard' McQueen sent us this about his 1.4i Citroen Saxo:

"I have a Saxo 1.4i auto with a cat bypass and Janspeed. This 5 mins to fit is fine if you have all the tools at hand and move like the bees wings. In the case of the 1.4i to get the CB-26P close to the manifold you have to get right at the back of the engine bay (If you have thin arms you are OK but anyone else will find bits of skin removed).

I removed the air filter box and then took of the vacuum hose by pushing in the two buttons the connecting joint. I cut the hose 10mm from the main joint and removed another 20-30mm from the servo side. To enlarge the hose I got some fuel line from a motorbike shop (Cool find). You will need about 25-30mm of rubber pipe The 1.4i Saxo hose have a rubber sheath over a nylon tube and take a bit of work to get the get the hose over. Get some lube, spit or some other wet stuff. You will need to seal the pipes well so use jubilee clips (I did) or pull hard on some zip ties.

When you have done all that don't think about testing it without putting on the air filter. put it all together with the with the closed. Clockwise on the filter as you look at it from the top. Now warm the engine up, take your Saxo out for a run a good 10 min will get you warm. Now just set it up. Easy NO! it is at the back of the engine bay (this is the point thin arms or skin removal come in).

It was well worth it. Smooth is the main thing, money in my pocket not just yet but after a great deal of miles Oh Yes. I'm not a big fan of massive sound so I was a bit blown out when the Janspeed picked up a bit of a note. But that could just be the extra power saying hello. Good driving dudes! This was one of my best buys".  Thanks Wizard - enough said!

Will Mars sent us a fitting picture (above) for his Citroen Saxo VTR where he gets similar results - improved response and better economy. Nice motor! Thanks Will.

Nicholas Downes got in touch in 2005 and sent us the fitting on his Saxo Mk2 VTR. He said: "I have used CB26P valves on a number of cars I have owned, including a 1.2 16v Corsa, and a 1.8 16v Astra. The latest application for your excellent product is my Citroen Saxo VTR, MK2, with the three stage ECU (that will mean something to Saxo enthusiasts!). The valve is used in conjunction with a Green Cotton Dynamic Powerflow induction kit (brilliant product incidentally) and a custom stainless steel exhaust.

I have fitted the valve to the brake servo hose using a larger piece of fuel line and 4 jubilee clips, in all it took 10 minutes and throttle response is markedly improved when re-applying throttle after a gear change. The CB26P really gives the engine a helping hand and is as useful at higher rpms as it is when dawdling through rush-hour traffic. To fit the valve I cut 90mm or so off the brake servo line as close to the hose connector as possible and simply cut two sections of fuel line 40mm long to go onto the nylon T section of the valve and onto the two ends of the servo hose. On the Saxo the servo hose it rubber coated plastic, try to keep the rubber sheath on when inserting it into the larger fuel hose as this will promote a better seal than otherwise stripping it.

On my previous Corsa & Astra the Ecotek really helped stabilise fuel use after other engine modifications such as induction kits, bigger exhausts and de-cat pipes. With the Saxo I know I am using a quality product that will again reduce my fuel costs and release some of that locked engine potential." Thanks Nick - glad you like it!

The Peugeot 106 XN 1.1 is similar to earlier versions of the VTR and on the right is a picture of this engine with the black arrows showing the correct pipe.
