Default Tornado fuel saver

Can I use a Tornado fuel saver on a NISMO cold air intake? Will I Benefit from this?

I think you can use it on the intake if it fits perfectly and does not move inside the intake tube... I'm not sure if that would help you any with the CAI.

I know the Tornado fuel saver is good for older cars and have proven to save them some gas, however I have not seen it save much if not any on new cars...

Ya'll aren't being serious are you?????

If so, you'd better Google "Tornado fuel saver" and see what the reviews of it say.

^ I had it on my stock 02' Explorer before and have only seen a small difference, after I customized the CAI for the Explorer I have not seen any difference in saving gas with the tornado fuel saver... may be I'm wrong, but from my experience with it I would not put it on my Z unless some1 shows me that it does save more with the CAI. Also looking on some graphs for the Tornado Fuel Saver I have seen that it shows most savings on older cars... (unless I'm looking in the wrong place)

Thanks for the feedback. I'm obviously new to the game but I have the torado on my 03' Tahoe. It has 23" wheels and I noticed conciderable gains in performance from the heavy wheels.

I'm confused, the heavy wheels made you gain performance?

The tornado fuel saver does not work. You're kidding yourself if you think it does. I can't believe people fall for this ****!

They named it Tornado cuz is sucks the money out of your wallet leaving you with nothing, just like the real things do to mobile homes in Kansas.

i did a search on the better business bureau website about them. it didnt say anything about the quality of the product, just that they didnt hassle anybody who wanted a refund.

barzten.... i am a bit confused by your post too. please clarify.

That's probably because their claims are exaggerated and unscientific. I'm not totoally denying that the tornado works. IN fact, iI bet it does work. I bet your get .0000000000000000000000000000001 hp, and .000000000000000000000000002 mpg more out of each tank of gas.

But to me that's false advertising

I dont get how this would work?It can't.
The "Tornado" supposidly spins the air to make 1 tornado before the plenum?
What happens to the air once it gets in the plenum and it has to split up into 6 different tornados?
I guess the idea could work if there were 6 different "tornado's" right before each cylinder,that would make each cylinder have a "tornado" affect.but if you did that it would restrict air.
SLAP YOURSELF FOR THIS ONE
you anly get two dumb q's and your off the board,use your next wisely. j/k

The toronado really works! I gained more horsepower from it that my nismo radiator cap, nismo oil cap, and nismo floormats combined! If only they made it in titanium or even carbon fiber, it would be unstoppable!
