Import Tuner Tests Magnets

Import Tuner Magazine tests Top Fuel Power Neo magnets. They claim to increase power, and gain fuel efficiency.



The verdict
Sorry, Top Fuel. You may manufacture some great products for today's performance imports... but the Power Neo isn't one of them. Our repeated testing showed no measurable power or torque benefit by installing the Power Neo on either of our subject cars, meaning it likely didn't change emissions or fuel efficiency, either. Why didn't it work? Most experts argue that magnetic force has absolutely no effect on gasoline or diesel whatsoever; others, that modern-day fuel injected engines are already so efficient (approximately 98% of their injected fuel is burned) that even if magnets could improve combustion efficiency, immeasurably small amounts of power and/or fuel economy would be gained.




People always want to have their cake and eat it too. Just not always possible in this world. The quick fix, the small part just doesn't work.
