10 H.P...... Seems like a placebo effect. I'd believe 10 hp to the imagination. You didn't get it dyno'ed did you? Read my post on the turbonator thread. They're the same device sold under a different name. When people install these things they gain psychological horsepower more than real horsepower. I don't trust them. If they were on sale at the local dollar store or bargain outlet, I'd get one just to satisfy my curiosity, but I wouldn't count on gaining hp by placing an obstruction in your intake. It just seems counter-productive.
yep. when I'd done with my car I'll have 450hp baby!
here's the break down:
car=102hp
altezzas=20hp
turbonator=30hp
big graphic decals on side of car=50hp
other decals 10hp each (total of 150hp)
18" rims that weigh 35lbs each=40hp
huge ass shopping cart wing=60hp
there you have it. my 450hp civic. just don't ask me how I do in the 1/4 mile. (it's so fast you might cry)

what wheel set-up u got there RiceBoy84?
Does anyone have actual proof of gains by using this product? I know that it might seem like a stupid product but who knows ya know until i actually have proof of a bogus product i dont rule it out. I guess the tornado thing-a-majig is supposed to send a more dense charge of air...? or increased velocity...? I mean if you think about it who would have ever thought that putting larger diameter piping around a cai would increase the performance (aem v2). It dosnt sound like it would be much of a real performance deal considering that it does obstruct some of the airflow but i dont put products down unless theres proof to lay them to rest.
Hey I saw a red Mustang in the Wally World parking lot tonight with a green dragon sticker all down its side... I swear that sumbitch must have gotten 50HP!!!! And I saw this other Civic with a huge honda H on the back window, and a big VTEC sticker across the top of the windsheild... plus he painted his back brake drums lime green!!! I swear that civic must have been able to SMOKE that mustang...
Bro a little common sense goes a long way. How is putting something in the path of the airflow going to give you a 10HP gain? or even better gas mileage?
If you want both HP gain and better gas mileage just give your car a good tune up, you'll see better results than adding that product to your car.
The point i was trying to make was ya it dosnt make sense but that dosnt mean to rule it out. If i remember corectly some high profile japanese tunner (mugen, spoon, jun or somethin) made a intake manifold gasket that added a slight bump in the airflow path that increased the velocity of the airflow...in no way am i defending this product or sayin that its worth buying im just not the person to put down a product unless theres reason too and it seemed to me that everybody was putting it down without even having any real experiance with the product or knowing any knowledge of it.
Im not saying either that this persons claims of ten horsepower is accurate with this product i just wanted to know if there was any proof of it having any horsepower gain or increased gas mileage.

Changing the path of airflow is one of the best ways to add hp without putting extra strain on the engine.... An intake manifold does exactly that. Channels the air better to each cylinder. Have a little common sense.....
but its the purpose of the piece of tin. if the gadget actually does increase the incoming airflow and cause it to be denser than the product might actually back up its claims. if its just sittin in the intake blocking the traffic then its a worthless piece of metal. no one has anyproof of this product working or not working and i think that because of that it shouldnt be ruled out as making some type of gain.
hey i have one laying around the house that a guy gave to use for our durango i will try to get some dyno time and see if it works or not? it will take a while cause i dont know where is a dyno place in houston. if you do let me know and how much is it?
