The "Tornado"

[Don juan futon]

I wasn't really sure where I should throw this topic in at so I thought I'd just put it in here. This is my favorite section. Anyhow, I just have to say that I hope none of you honestly believe this piece of crap. Just like on tommy boy, I could put my name on a box and say guranteed when it's actually a piece of crap. Here is your perfect example. I have done engine dyno tests with this thing just out of curiosity and it did nothing. So stepping up the flowbench with it, mounted it up, and it actually DECREASED airflow. The damn thing just created so much turbulence and sat there blocking potential airflow. Don't waste your money. Just thought I'd give you some info backed by actual tests. I hate to see someone get scammed. Oh and by the way, things like the tornado have been out since back in the day. They used to be things called "mini superchargers" and all sorts of other little gismos. And now today, the "Tornado"......JUNK

Isnt it basically a peice of sheet metal that fits inside your intake tube and has angled fins like a fan cut into it? I seen one like that on the net I believe to be called 'tornado' or something equally gay.. it claimed to do all kinds of stuf, 15hp increase, better fuel mileage.. I think it even pumped up your tire if you had a flat, just by having it in your intake!

Only thing I could see it did was cause a spiraling effect on the incoming air, but having it in there is in effect gona block off an 'x' ammount of air as well.. as you said.

On one of the Honda sites they dynoed it and found it to be a restriction. Its about as stupid as those little electric fans.
