Hi, my name is Van and I’m grooving in Hawaii. I purchased the licensing kit and training after seeing Ron’s interview on Sarah Westall late last year. I was impressed with the honesty and logic of Ron’s presentation. I wanted to try it because my career has been mostly in the maintenance and engineering side of the aviation industry. My specialty was in aircraft engines and I always knew and was basically taught that the engines were 33-38% efficient. Lots of waste. I always worked on my own cars and did things to improve performance and reliability, so I understand what works and basically how they worked. The groove is impressive and a paradigm shift in the way engines processes fuel into energy. I did two cars and two mopeds. The cars are fuel injected with one being an older 1990 OBD I type of computer and the other a 2010 OBD II computer. After the groove and PVC mods, the performance was immediately noticeable – especially driving up in the hills. I also did two mopeds where one is a fuel injected type and the other a carburetor. Again, there was immediate performance increase. It’s been about 2 months since I did the modifications and I did not notice any big improvement in the MPG of the fuel injected engines but a huge 55% increase in the carbureted moped engine. In fact, I jetted it down and the performance is still good, and I expect a little better MPG. I feel there is not much change in the fuel injected engines because the fuel trim data is still averaging out in the computers. Where I live there aren’t places to open it up to affect the fuel trims as I would like to, plus I don’t drive it much since I’m retired and the traffic here is what I try to avoid most of the time. I do like the performance, especially on my 1990 Toyota pickup – like driving a peppy new truck. One of my goals is to present the groove to students and the new generation of engineering students. I want them to figure it out and explain how and why it works. Being in the aviation industry, I realized some time ago that planned obsolescence and built in inefficiency was how they keep the money flowing. Maybe I can get the new kids to have a paradigm shift in how we use energy and technology in the future. I don’t do social media and I’m new at participating in forums, but I’ll try to participate more in this to gain more knowledge and share what I can.
Aloha!!
