HP & TQ for under $25 and no, its not E-bay scam Bullsh*t - Polydyn TX7

Cliff notes - cheap power for under $25 - dyno proven by many people including a Newcelica.org member. TX7 is a TFE Fluoropolymer Resin that incerases power by creating a protective barrier by burnishing itself to surfaces that experience intense heat and pressure reducing frictional losses in your engine.

Check it out guys - I have the before and after dyno results for Polydyn TX7 and its some pretty great news. The dynos below have been performed by Swingfixer at a facility I have never even been to. I was NOT present for the test. Neither swing fixer nor the facility has anything to gain from the outcome one way or the other so this is about as independant and unbiased as a test can get. Both tests were conducted at @ 76F with approx 60% humidity





When they first told me that this stuff was a pour-in power adder I was VERY skeptical - I am not a believer in snake oil treatments. Anyways the guys at Polydyn convinced me to talk to some of the guys running it and everyone raves about the stuff. So I decided to put some faith in them. I bought a case and we put 1/2 a quart in Swingfixers car and had him drive 2 weeks and redyno and you can see the results - 2 HP and 2.5 ft. lbs of torque at peak and as much as 4 HP and 4 ft. lbs of torque gained at various points in the curve. For $25 thats insane.

It is added as follows - 1/2 quart with an oil changes for 2 consecutive oil changes (so at a change and then again 3000 miles later). After the second oil change you should realize the maximum benefit (gains will probably be more than these numbers). You can then let it go another 9,000 miles before reapplying. (it is fine to start the reapplication process again at 3,000 or 6,000 miles but the benefit will be marginal unless the engine is under severe use). For best results add it slowly with the engine running and take the car for a 30 minute highway drive immediately without turning it off. This will help ensure that it immediately begins to burning to the bearing surfaces and ring lands.

So basically you're looking at 1 quart every 12,000 miles or so.

Obviously this rocks, so I am now going to be selling it to make it available to the community. It retails for $24.50 and theres not much wiggle room in the price but I can sell it as follows without getting in trouble with Polydyn:

1 Quart - $24.95 - 12,000 miles average driving - 9,000 miles severe use
4 Quarts - $99.80 - 48,000 miles average driving - 36,000 miles severe use
1 Case (12 quarts) - $269.46 - 144,000 miles average driving - 108,000

Shipping is $10 on a single quart in the lower 48 of the US.
Shipping is $2 on a purchase of 4 quarts
Shipping is $4 on a purchase of a case.

These prices are good only in the contiguous lower 48 states - anywhere else PM or post in the thread for a price.

---------------------------------

Heres the official word fromPolydyn about TX7:

PolyDyn TX7 is the most unique, and by far, the most superior engine treatment you can buy today.
There simply is no better insurance to add life to your engine.
Does PolyDyn TX7 really work? Just ask the Pros.
20 Years experience at NASA, starting with the Gemini Program
The biggest names in stock car and drag racing, NASCAR, NHRA, SCCA, CART, Boat Racing, IROC plus more, use Polydyn TX7!
Rusty Wallace, Don Prudhomme, Ed McCulloch, Cruz Pedregon, Steve Kinser, A.J. Foyt and many more, including some of the biggest names in high performance race engine builders trust Polydyn TX7 to gain life and performance from their engines!

Why does Polydyn TX7 work so well?

TX7 coats your engine components and is specially formulated to reduce heat build up and friction inside your engine, adding life and improving efficiency.

TX7 retains the oil at the top of the engine, eliminating lubrication lag at start-up.

TX7 provides back-up lubrication in the event of momentary oil starvation.

Add one quart every 12,000 miles with your oil changes to add life to your engine!

TX7 is a Friction Reducing Engine Oil Treatment that protects your engine with a Unique Formulation consisting of TFE in a Para Synthetic Carrier. It is an exclusive metal-treating formula and oil fortifier that bonds to surface contact points of metal components, reducing engine friction dramatically. This unique bond produces a coating that diminishes engine drag and creates lower operating temperatures. TX7 will provide these advantages: Increased Oil Pressure Reduced Viscosity Breakdown Reduced Oil Consumption Reduced Friction Reduced Thermal Breakdown Improved Engine Performance Minimize Engine wear Improved Cold and Dry Starting Note: Do not use TX7 in a new rebuild because the engine will not seat properly. Only once the engine has been broken in properly TX7 should be used. Do not use TX7 in a wet clutch application, such as in motorcycles TX7 can be used for most types of engines, transmissions and power steerings.

So there you have it - any questions just ask. If you have other guys in your area that might want it for their cars going in together on a case is a good way to reduce cost and save on shipping

If you have Questions please ask them in this thread so everyone can benefit from the answers. If you want to order, shoot me a PM


Definitely more cost effective to go in with a couple friends in your area and split the shipping.

To order just shoot me a PM and paypal it to boostedalltrac@yahoo.com along with the following info:

Screenname
name
shipping address
phone number
Number of Quarts of TX7

Be sure to include money for shipping shipping

So can you add this stuff with synthetic oil? Do you use this stuff personally boosted? Your thread almost sounds like a infomercial trying to sell their product. Are you getting paid by polydin to advertise this?

Yes it works with synthetic oil with no problem. Its not a petrolium based product.

Yes I am using it my car and my wifes car now. I was waiting on the results from Swingfixers dynos before I decided to use it or not. Its going in my car for power, and my wifes car for the added reliability and (hopefully) a little bit extra fuel economy.

I'm not getting paid by polydyn to advertise, but I am making money off anyone that buys it from me. Not a mint, especially because most people won't need much and won't need it often, but enough to make it worth going there to buy more and hassle with selling / shipping etc.

I know it sounds a little infomercially / too good to be true, but hell, dynos don't lie. I've known about it a long time and had the ability to sell it a long time, butI waited to see if it actually works before agreeing to. You guys know me - I don't buy into anything that doesn't make proven power and work. I certainly wouldn't sell anything that didn't work. Long story short the owner of Polydyn has been on me to try this stuff for a long time. I finally agreed and I'm very happy with the results. Thats all there is to it. I used swingfixers car for the dynos for 3 reasons:

1 - its FWD and hence WAAAY cheaper to dyno than my alltrac or FJ Cruiser, and the wifes Sienna is an auto.

2 - He doesn't make anything off this deal so he has no reason to try and fudge the numbers - hes impartial.

3 - I wanted it to be a ZZ powered Celica so that the numbers would be relevant - if I used my alltrac the gains would have been considerably higher, but not representative of what you could expect with a 2ZZ

Of course. You will probably actually get slightly more of a power increase than swingfixer did as well.

Any polydyn dealer (I am one of like 3 in the country that I know of.) can sell it or polydyn will sell direct. Obviously I am selling it for less than anyone else. Not by much on the quart though because I agreed not to jack with the per quart pricing.

Yes I take paypal - I'll try to get shipping info for you guys tomorrow - it shouldn't be too much though - the box will be small and light.

I'll also check and see if I'm allowed to do group buy type stuff for an initial sale - I might be able to sell an initial amount for slightly less that way.

Yup. I have it in the alltrac and the Sienna. Works in Gas cars, ethanol cars, deisel cars - anything with a lubrication system and moving parts.

Didn't read all of the replies, but I've seen that much variation on a dyno between runs simply because of engine temperature changes.


Since you have to drive the car 3000-9000 miles for this product to be fully effective, there isn't any way the dyno was done the same day (assumption here). Having a 2HP variance between days is nothing at all, so we don't have any meaningful statistics here.

If the dyno *was* done the same day, then we know it wasn't the product.

I'm not saying it will or won't work, I'm just saying that those two dyno plots don't prove that it does.

Yall spend your money how you want.

He does have a point.... but given Boosteds knowledge and e-cred, I cannot help but be intrigued!!

The second dyno is very consistently better, one would think it wouldn't be that way if the changed were just by chance.

I finally got around to reading this whole post, nice find!!! I'm going for an oil change today. Around the beginning of next week, I'll order up a quart from you.

Do I just add it in to where the oil goes & it won't overflow after an oil change?

Look at it this way: if not for the power increase, it might still be worth it as extra protection on the engine.

Boosted: Since it's a new product, is there any info on longterm effects? And is it similar to the Prolong product or the Slick50 thing of them olden days?

OK, just saw another thing on the dyno.

UNCORRECTED is printed right on it. That pretty much negates any validity of the dyno - unless we get the dynojet files and see that it was the same temp., humidity, barometric pressure, etc.

Your just being ornery because you don't believe it, which is fine - I didn't for a long time either.

The dynos were done 2 weeks apart. The TX7 has been in the vehicle for just under 2 weeks. You need the second fill to reach maximum benefit, the benefit demonstrated was seen after 2 weeks.

The dynos were on the same dyno by the same guy at the same ambient and almost the same humidity (the second test was 20% humidity higher, which would tend to lower performance a tad but not enough to matter IMO, and since the second one came out higher thats just fine).

There were 3 dynos done on both occasions, but only 2 in 4th gear each time - these are the higher of the 2 4th gear dynos from both occasions. The LOWEST dyno the second time out was still higher than the highest one the first time around.

This is not a new product - its just new to me. Polydyn has been selling it for years and they have tons of testimonials.

Long term effects are very positive - customer feedback has been that oil consumption tests show a 50% to as high as 90% reduction in wear.

The numbers are uncorrected for both runs on that display - what correction do you want? I can get a graph with SAE, STD, etc. The reason I went with uncorrected is that that was what swingfixer used when he posted the scan of teh first dyno a couple weeks ago.

1/2 a quart overfull won't hurt anything - thats all we did to swingfixers was just add it to his existing oil. If you have it on hand when you do the oil change you can just leave the car 1/4 or 1/2 quart low, fire it up, and then add it.

One last set of graphs to further out your minds at ease. These are the 2 best runs from the first visit and the 2 best from the second visit with both correction factors. I think the trend is obvious, and this should eliminate any questions of "cherry picking" the runs I used. Which is all F*cking rediculous anyways as I have NEVER in 5 years on here lied about parts or power or falsified any kind of information.

STD Correction:




SAE Correction

Well, as some of you may know, I'm pretty persnickety about dynos, and this looks perfectly legit to me.

Same dyno, same shop, same car, multiple runs, and now SAE corrected -- can't ask for much better than that. The interval between before and after dynos is unavoidable given the nature of the product, so there's no way around it.

I'm still on board for a quart

I am not a fan of extending the factory oil change interval regardless of what lubricant you use - I'm a very firm believer in 3 months or 3,000 miles.

Anyways I would drain half a quart and add half a quart of the TX7, and then in 3000 miles do the same thing again.

You could also add half a quart now and not drain any, and just drain a half in 3000 miles when you add the next dose as 1/2 quart overfull isn't a big deal.

Thanks! Nice to be here....hee hee.

I'll chime in here and re-state that these dynos were same car, same dyno, same shop, same operator, same temp with it being slightly more humid for the after runs.

I even drove the car exactly the same amount before heading to the shop....basically cold start at the apartment in the morning and went straight to the shop.

Both sets of runs were done on Wednesdays at approximately 10:15 - 10:30am (just after they opened so I was the first run on the dyno each day). Each time there was about 3/8 of a tank of Gas.

ANY variable possible was eliminated.....I'm not stating all of that just to be a tool...that is exactly how I did it both times.

And I have never used that particular shop for anything and I don't know the operators so this was a VERY independant unbiased test.

I can definitely feel a difference in the way the car pulls when accelerating.

lets say that it doesnt improve on power, hell, its still worth it for the added reliability.

Q: lets say i use this for 12K miles, then decide not to anymore, will the remaining deposits of it just wear off with the use/normal oil changes? any sideffects from not using it anymore?
-i doubt it has any, but just to be safe, i'd like to to know

Yep - it will just wear off over time and come out with your used oil and that will be that. It does not change the bearing surfaces in any way, just coats itself on top of them.

Okay - it turns out there were some requirements on purchase price that I was unaware of so the prices for purchase have gone up a tad - but if you check the shipping prices have been adjusted to compensate

I have one concern about this. Some oil additives advertise similar things, but end up foaming the oil after a while... Have you done any tests to see if the oil foams? I can't think of the product that does this same thing, if anyone can chime in, that would be great.

It would be 3 1/2 quarts oil and 1/2 quart TX7 (unless you want to run 1/2 quart over)

There is no similar product. Polydyn has exclusive ownership of the formula and they won't even patent it because then they would have to disclose that formula. (Coca Cola does the same thing with the recipie for coke)

But anyways no it doesn't foam the oil.

Keep i mind this does NOT modify the oil - it burnishes itself onto the bearings and works with the oil.

hmm sounds interesting.. a few hp for next to nothing sounds like a good thing in my book. I'll admit i'm skeptical about any additive that makes power, but dynos dont lie.
Plus boosted is one of the few on this site that I would take his word when it comes to car stuff, along with a few others like smaay, jessee, etc.
I'm gonna have to get me some of this stuff.

Believe me, I want this to work as much as the next guy, same with the e-ram, slick-50, and that little magnetic doohicky that goes on the fuel line to "orient" the gas molecules.
