Hi guys,
Just wanted to share my experience with the above-mentioned.
Hurricane
I've been using Hurricane for the last 2 cars and honestly, it hasn't done anything for FC or performance so I bought the Hurricane for my e90 just so I don't have to get a new filter every now and then. Popped it in and 12k mileage and guess what...
FC improved to 10.4km/l from 9.2km/l that very tank and it has been consistently stayed above 10km/l from then on. And I've been decidedly more heavy footed after installation too which is quite surprising. Which brings me to my next 2 points...
Throttle response
I feel it less because it doesn't readily kick down a gear when I tekan the pedal but speed does go up. It feels smoother across the rev range and the gear shifts are more gradual.
I reset the throttle by inserting the fob and steping on the accelerator for 30 secs and it works. It really does reset the slower more gentle throttle response to a fresh "like new from pml" throttle. try it.
Run in
I'm not sure how much of the FC improvement and the improvement in performance is because my car is now past the run in period. It's near 1st servicing now. But improvement from the time I installed the hurricane is too coincidnetal to be anything else but the filter right?
Well, just a sharing for those who are thinking of getting the modest mods for their cars. I'm not a dealer. I don't know any dealers. Just my honest opinion.
