wtf is with this? Is it worth $70 or $.50? 35 hp is a pretty inpressive jump, if it's true.

Yeah i have heard it does nothing for some peoples cars... does it give any horse power? If so i would gladly get one.

 

its crap, dont bother

 

Thanks that is exactly what I wanted to here. The truth, I've just seen it everywhere.

 

yeah i figured as no one on here says yeah i did a 1/4 mile at 13's after i bolted on my turbonator!

 

Nothing more than a restriction in your airflow.

 

Did you search before posting this?

Sorry didn't search will next time...

 

That's one of them tools designed to seperate a fool and his money. Works pretty good if you ask me, lol.

 

From the manufactorer's web site :

haha i would like to see that!

 

what are you running? 3 turbonators yo! Sounds like a honda worthless modification to me. If you want performance modify your intake and exhaust, if you want mileage go buy a civic don't expect to get the best of both worths for 70 bucks... Scam.

 

All it does is create a "vortex" of air into your intake track. Kinda like the Chevy Vortec heads. All that was, was a rifling of the intake ports. Kinda like what you would find in the barrel of a rifle. It'll atomize the fuel better, but we won't see enough gains to justify the cost.

 

It makes a vortex....that just gets ruined as soon as it hits the next bend in your intake, so say a vortex of air actually does help, as soon as that vortex has to go through anything beisdes just a straight pipe its going to just become the same as it would have been before the "turbonator y0".

 

Atomize the fuel better? Tell me, how would this "magical fan" atomizes fuel thats not even in the intake track yet? Fuel hasnt even been introduced into the air where this is supposedly "atomizing" it. Neat trick. I also would like to know how this little thing can possibly make anything run better. Dont you think that the CFM that an engine moves would FAR exceed anything this little fan could do, basically just becoming a restriction in the air flowing through the intake? If this little fan could do anything at all, I would step it up a notch and use a better fan! Heres an idea for you, make a huge duct from the top of your hood down the carb with a black magic on top and blow through the carb! That should be good for some huge HP gains, yo!

you all are offically banned from cars. For simply considering this or even discussing it. You are offically banned from calling yourself a carnut letvalone a rotorhead.... I'm litterally crying right now.....

 

i bought one yrs ago for my 2nd gen which is now my drag car and he works out of his house a japanese dude that says the other thing that is out on the market is a copy of what he made and is crap. just letting u guys n gals know

 

I'm not too sure what you just said.

 

They had one of these going around a few years ago called the Tornado. From what I know, it actually cripples the gas mileage, and can even screw up your motor.

 

Hah maybe this device just makes your car run really lean, better mileage and some power... I don't remember the site saying anything about making your engine last for any amount of time.

It also says that it will outlast your car... Well if you car's engine only lasts for a short amount of time after it....

I guess it would be better to hear from others who have actually installed it instead of me rambling on. But im amazed on that website it does not show a single picture of what it looks like installed. Like I said before I would rather go for a more tried and tested method of creating power.

 

Some people have a good product that works, others just have a really good advertising plan that allows all the ricers to see their product...yo!

So if 1 turbonator adds 35hp does it increase on a linear curve, meaning that with three you get 105hp?
