Is this thing for real? i find it hard to believe that this thing actually works and doesnt have any negative effects in some way... anyone have any idea. i dont know if it is wise to trust a product called "The Turbonator"...

I seriously doubt that it works and I bet that everyone else agrees.

 

If you believe that this thing works then I have a set of spark plugs to sell you that will add 40hp to your car.....

Seriously this thing is pure trash, don't even thing about it.

 

Holy crap! I saw that thing on an infomercial once!!! Looks like most informercial stuff--a complete waste of money.

 

IT WORKS......I put one on my Z, as a matter of fact, it's the only mod I have done so far and let me tell you it made all the difference in the world. Just last night I blew off a Z06 and a GT2, I felt kinda bad since they didn't stand a chance, had them from start to finish.
I'd like to elaborate on this mod but my 460 rwhp Z that gets 45mpg on water is outside idleing w/my supermodel wife waiting patiently in the passengers seat. We have a private appointment w/president Bush regarding the coming alien invasion.
I mean after all, if you believe this thing works, then you'll certainly believe me!

 

dduck.

LOL

 

 

It's funny how once in every 3 months somebody rediscovers this thing... and it starts all over again...

 

Interesting, well, I have to say that the concept is not new, and they actually took it from someone else. There are two products that are similar, the Helix Power Tower and the Airmax Spirl flow intake system. Now these two systems are not available for our cars, but they are available for a large variety of others.

Basically, the Airmax is a 16 gauge steel intake with a heat sheild and a K&N cone filter attached to it. It creates the "vortex", as they like to call it. It does make power, but don't know how much of that can be attributed to the vortex spin.

 

I would say the k@n made power everything else is crap

 

if i had east access to a dyno i would try it out

 

we spend 100's to reduce intake restriction by the slightest amount. yet shoving a big blockage into the intake tube makes hp?

the concept of air flow indicates this swirling pattern is gone at the first curve, and certainly isnt going to be swirling when it hits the manifold and goes into the cylinders.

Id bet a butt dyno test would give someone a clear example of loss of HP. they have a 30day money back gaurentee. someone with a Gtech pro should test it and see how it goes. no risk right? other than 70$ while your testing it.

 

LOL

Not this stupid thing again!

I'm somewhat glad someone posted here instead of trying it out. What a scam... these guys should be prosecuted.

 

The air coming into the collector area should be as calm and undisturbed as possible so the runners can draw the largest, densist charge possible. Turbulent air will not produce a good charge. Think about taking a drink from a straw in a glass that is being swirled and mixed and bubbling. You would not get a good draught. Neither will your engine.

 

works great

 

it works even better when you have 3 of them in your intake pipe!

 

also lolz

hahahaha, lol.

 

i measured off the intake pipe and ordered 9 of them...then countersunk them into my intake pipe all in a sequential motion... hooked up a central air vacuum system on the fronnt of it and therefore created not only a cylone motion but a f4 tornado inside my intake pipe....it actually raised my fuel economy by 1 mgp....awesome investment
