[79coyotefrg]

[IronClad]

[DTB]

Just look at the layout of the webpage. Looks like a total "gimmick". Buy it so we can eliminate our need for overseas oil. ummmmmm.....okay

[Wermz84]

my favorite is

"More Power: Are you looking for more power from your wheels? Whether you have a stock or aftermarket intake system, the Turbonator will add up to 35 horsepower to your vehicle.*"

wtf  How do you get more power from you wheels.        Too your wheels..





total gimmik.   I'm suprised it's not on the invention station with Pat Murphy Stark.

I'd like to see what happens when one of those comes apart and gets sucked in.

[RK]

I think im gonna buy like...5 and stick em in my intake...

read the testimonials about the guys 10 yr old daughter or something putting it on it a few minutes, very   

[Cheesemaker]

But hey, the site got a free game!  Reminds me of atari!

[BUDDERS]

One of the guys I worked with put one of those on his 3.slow and it came apart and trashed one of his heads - not a good idea.

I think you should send me the money...I'll make as big improvement as it will. It's funny how these things proliferate when gas prices spike.

With a little plumbing work you could get this...and it's cheaper!

they wor a buddy of mine has it in his honda civic crx & he added about 20hp its a quick & easy fix but i would not have in in your motor all the time only when you go wheelin or even raceing but they do work & it is cheap but be safe thats all i can say

I'm gonna have to call  :bull crap: on that one. I used to have a Civic that I did a few mods on. It takes alot more than that to get 20hp out of the honda.  It isn't free power. Alot of power is still drawn from the engine indirectly to power this little gizmo. It is seriously a gimmick. I don't think u read thru this whole thread.   No hard feelings but I just can't believe it

[Cheesemaker]

This is a SUCKER item!  Think about it, how is something like this going to to optimize your airflow?  The only thing I see it doing, is restricting your airflow sort of say!  The more stuff you have in the airflows pathway, is going to slow and/or restrict!  I've seen these items at parts stores and they look like they would fall apart!  Big pile of  !!

[Crawler677]

they create a vortex in the air charge as it enters your intake, meaning more air in a smaller space, sounds lie it could owrk to me

your intake also creates the venturi effect....

please say you were joking......

[toyo487]

one of my friends put on in his 90 Camry.  What a wast of money.  We  at him when he showed it to us. Why would you want a fast camry anyway?     Dont waist your time or money on that pile of 

[DTB]

  dude, i got one and it added 100hp and increased my gas mielage to 40mopg. well worth it IMOH 

[CTENG in KS]

Sweet, I can't wait till mine gets here!  If it worked for DTB...!

Maybe I will have Mr WillyM. send me that Paxton he has and I'll build the 50 lb electric supercharger with that and a geared down REAL 12V e-motor!  It will be my crowning achievment...

Hey MW...How much you want for that thing??    You really think it would take a 5hp motor to turn it?? 

oh yeah!!!! here it is...:

venturi effect and a vortex are 2 different things, i do doubt a 35 or even 20 HP gain, but i can see it improving some., i wouldnt use it personally though. all i'm saying is the concept makes sense as long as it doesnt take more power to power it then it gains.  or maybe i'm thinkin of throttle body spacer???

overall

OK, so I ordered this and it just came in..    There were no directions so I need a little help guys    They told me 100hp, I think I got a good Deal...    Do I just aim it at my carb or what??

[BoG-ToY]

make sure you turn it on high heat.....forget all the intercooler/cold air intake crap....make it hot.....but....honestly....NO I wouldnt put it in my truck...BUT YES, concept DOES work, there ARE guys out there who have studied there porting well, they will hand you a die grind....and let you do whatever you want.....as long as you dont cut into water jackets on your head, these guys WILL outflow your head with them filling that port with putty....and cutting it back out....NEVER TOUCHING the original port wall....so...smaller port.....but better flow.....when your know how the aerodynamics work....you can produce a port that instead of a freeflow of wind you have a precision stream of high speed air........but dont buy this crap.......mine eyes have seen the glory of.....FOD.....what is that....foreign object damage???
