air dam and vortec generators
Hi all, I just finished my air dam and installing the VG's . I am going to start testing on my new tank of gas. My present mileage has gone up to 826km to 31.5 L. that tank I was perfecting the mild pulse and glide and about 4% gain. The VG's are along the top off the roof and along the bottom of the car's diffuser. So far I have seen some improvement in mileage.Still testing....

I built the double VGs here https://www.gassavers.org/showthread.php?t=1482. They look like sharks teeth. My kids point and laugh as well as other people but I point and laugh at then at the pump. From the grill block, double VGs, and P&G I'm reaping aprox 25% increase in mileage. From 31MPG to 39.8MPG in mixed highway and city driving. I say it's worth the laughs.

laughs are okay; I just hate it when an explanation is ask for by someone without the willingness nor mental skills to understand it.
While I do ( or at least think I do) understand the concept, I'm not sure that particular design of generator would help my Cavalier; maybe different on wagons, hatchbacks and trucks. |

The way they are shaped makes me think they would act like little parachutes. Also I just would expect something with a pointed end with the air flowing around and along the surface of it rather than into it like a funnel.
Aside from the design; where would I put them on my Cavalier for best results?https://www.gassavers.org/garage_imag...esj9ts80w1.jpg |

You'd place in the same area as the Lancer EVO...on the back of the roof, a few inches from the upper line of the rear window glass. Like this: https://www.edmunds.com/media/advice/...on.det.500.jpg |
Those in the lancer pic look more like I would expect and don't seem to have the funnel effect.
I may read a little more on this and make my own. Can't hurt to try. Be easy to test with a small fan and a little smoke to see how they affect the airflow. |
