Palazzo 479 Report post Posted August 8, 2006 They work better with two, one for the intake and one for the exhaust. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DCEIVN 0 Report post Posted August 8, 2006 AHAHAHAHAHA this is such a pile of sh*t... funny he got decent feedback about it but it must be psychological. simple physics, the only thing powering this thing is air, so I have no idea how the hell he expects to generate more airflow, you cant just create faster airflow. its just a simple fan that you blow on and spins.

Yeah, stick it on ya baseball cap [21st century beanie cap] I wonder if it is compatible with the fuelmiser & the Turbo exhaust Tip? Done some number crunching, A 2000 cc engine breathing thru a 5" tube, with a blade at 45 degrees [the steepest before it creates drag]will have to turn over 40000rpm to spin that toy to 10k The vendor is a lying sack of sh*t!

bravo 35 Report post Posted August 8, 2006 I'd love to be able to dyno one of these to refute the claims and take the guy to court for a breach of fair trading. But I have better things to do with my time. Theres a local school gruop (Young Enterprise) hocking the eletric fan jobbies. I didn't have the heart to tell them the error of their ways. Love to know what the non-turbs skyline customer did to get blue flames out his exhaust!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamiepo 0 Report post Posted August 9, 2006 If anything it acts as a barrier for the air getting in, if you want a freer breathing car you add a pod, where as this thing actually cuts down the amount of air that can get through and creates drag. I fail to see how, by any streatch of the imagination that this thing will do anything but decrease power. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ducatiss 1 Report post Posted August 9, 2006 These do not work at all. Items such as this (usually a spinning blade somwhere in the intake or exhaust) have been around for the last 20 years in some shape or form. But because they do not compress the air (in the case of the intake) they provide nothing in the way of a performance increase. As for providing a "vortex airflow" - lol Of couse just my opinion if you want one then buy it - just do so with low (very low) expectations. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

low320i 0 Report post Posted August 9, 2006 haha these things crack me up i can just see them being fitted to non vtec hondas and non turbo skylines. a guy i know told that guy he would give him 2 hours free dyno time at his work and a weeks wages if he could prove it made any increase in performance. the guy just started abusing him and told him to grow up lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carey 88 635CSi 0 Report post Posted August 9, 2006 For more of the same go to http://www.tornadoair.com/ the ads are very funny. These things pop up every time fuels prices go up( go figure). I especially like the bit where it'll reduce a 75mm intake down to 65mm. Brilliant! I'll take two. In all seriousness it is a scam. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SKT174 1 Report post Posted August 9, 2006 Wonder if it would increase my performance by 30% if I get two of them and set them up in series ? Or if I split my intake like a Y shape and install one of each on each side, it should act as if I have a twin turbo, right? ..... Damn .. I should ask the buyer these questions.
