Auto Cerm

Has anyone ever heard of or used a product called autocerm. Supposedly it lays down a 2micron ceramic coating on the metal parts of your engine reducing friction. Reduces heat, improves milage, compression etc. I heard about it and was wondering if it has ever been tried on a rotary.

What about the fuel tornado? With gas over 4 a gallon, looking at other ways to improve milage besides what I'm already doing.

The tornado is a gimmick.

flush your money Down the Toilet....God!.I'll bet that you are also looking at the magnet,that takes Particles out of Your Gas and makes the molecules all straight,so they Go into your Engine Faster...The Only way to make the RX7 better on fuel is to Chop your Right foot off...if you don't wanna do that,then Tune the Car,and Stop punchin the crap out of the Gas pedal,because it sounds SOOO good!

Ceramat coating requires the engine to be taken apart, and each part individually coated and baked at very high temps.

It is not something that can be done by adding to the fuel, or oil or engine assembled as described at http://www.autocerm.com/

Tornado intake systems have been tested over and over, and there have been many many many many many threads on this here. As confirmed by Consumer Reports and Popular Science Magazines and several members here, it is useless, and generally costs a few HP. If you are lucky using one you won't loose much MPG.

It will if you bought the version that uses a Type-R sticker as an activation spell.
