Cool Neutral Newbie May 17, 2002 Share May 17, 2002 TB: The magnet works.. my half tank is 330KM compared to 300 the last time. . Anyway. did somemore grounding on my chasis yesterday... Also, I realised that my pick up is faster and I do not have to tap real hard to hit 90KM per hour... (Thanks to Paul for the magnet for the oil filter.. I bought a $3 magnet real powerful from Sim Lim Tower to replace it). Andy: Did you managed to find out the Magnet Company contact ?? May the magnetic force be with me !!! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yongwd 1st Gear May 17, 2002 Share May 17, 2002 WA lao TB! Tomorrow I going to hunt you down for the magnet thingy! Sim Lim Tower sells magnet? Care to reveal the address?

Koolaba 1st Gear May 17, 2002 Share May 17, 2002 Hi, Did u attach magnets to the base of your oil filter? My friend passed me 2 HDD magnets (supposed to be super strong)-slightly better pick-up, but not much improvement in fuel economy. Can share what u did to your car?

Cool Neutral Newbie May 17, 2002 Author Share May 17, 2002 (edited) Aiya.. wrong Andy. I thought the Hyndui Matrix guy is called Andy. (sorry no offence, I am bad with names). BTW.. I bought 3 super strong from Sim Lim Tower at $3..for the oil filter.. my Mech say I kiasu... Edited May 17, 2002 by Cool Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cool Neutral Newbie May 17, 2002 Author Share May 17, 2002 Harddisk Magnet is not strong.. best is probably Woofer Speaker Magnet. Going to destroy one pair from my old spoilt Woofer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cool Neutral Newbie May 17, 2002 Author Share May 17, 2002 (edited) It is sim lim tower 3rd Floor Hardware shop. (never take note of shop name) Got 1 to spare... you can buy from me lar, no need to waste time. Edited May 17, 2002 by Cool Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cool Neutral Newbie May 17, 2002 Author Share May 17, 2002 (edited) Wait a minute.. AutoS should have many unwanted speakers (since he works in ICE shop). Can bother him to give us the unwanted speaker and we just rip the magnet off... ... Just a thought !! Edited May 17, 2002 by Cool Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbobrick Neutral Newbie May 18, 2002 Share May 18, 2002 Do realise I've searched high and low in Singapore for damn strong magnets but couldn't find any that can equal the force of the magnets I have now. I've experimented with countless types of magnets and so far my current batch in 2 pairs works best. Glad U found them useful Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scwee Clutched May 19, 2002 Share May 19, 2002 SORRY! everyone, a new bird here and do not really catch it. is that meant that by placing a pc of magnet at fuel tank u can more milerage? pls enlighten, many many thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madarmour Neutral Newbie May 19, 2002 Share May 19, 2002 I think the strongest magnet available now would be Neodymium Iron Boron. A small 4cm x 1cm can have the strength of 3500 Gauss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madarmour Neutral Newbie May 19, 2002 Share May 19, 2002 Is the oil filter made of Iron? You can check by placing a magnet on it, if it sticks, it's made of iron. Placing a piece of magnet on iron will not work as the magnetic field will be disrupted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cool Neutral Newbie May 19, 2002 Author Share May 19, 2002 Hi Mike.. Glad to hear from you .!!! Yes. the oil filter is made of iron... the purpose of placing the magnet (1 sided magnet, the reverse side does not attract) is to hold the oxidazation from the filter to stick to the filter base. Any comments ??? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madarmour Neutral Newbie May 19, 2002 Share May 19, 2002 OK, I think, in theory, it's very good but whether it works or not I'm not so sure. You can do this experiment. Use a thin iron plate to simulate the casing of the oil filter. Stick on the magnet to one side. See how many paper clip it can pick up on the other side. Repeat the experiment with another non-iron plate, copper, aluminium or plastic. See how many paper clips it can pick up this time. All I know is that iron weakens the magnetic field at the other side. I think the aim is for the magnet to pick up micro iron shavings from the engine block so that it will not be returned to the circulation, reducing engine wear.

Cool Neutral Newbie May 19, 2002 Author Share May 19, 2002 Hi mike.. You are right.. to pick up the micro iron shavings. BTW... after TB did the north - south magnet thingy on my fuel/air intake.. my half tank hits about 330Km... used to be only 260km (before I did the air-intake cooling with aerotape and radiator cooling with Alu Foils). I can feel the power and the reduction in fuel consumption. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbobrick Neutral Newbie May 19, 2002 Share May 19, 2002 I have a pair of magnets on my oil filter and another pair on my ATF filter.....for peace of mind ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
