Tornado??
 

Has anyone ever tried this product??? http://www.tornadoair.com/
The company claims it increases mileage and hp .
What are your opinions on this?? :sly:

Are you serious?

yes, i believe it works, to what degree, dont know.

I wouldnt waste my money on one though.

Save your money on that and get a Cold Air Intake.

they are complete udder garbage....they have been around for awhile they are big in the pick up suv world....i never got one but heard nothing but bad things

What are you talking about, I run 4 of them on my scooter and it spools right-up... :hah:

They cause a restriction in the intake. In general, restrictions dont make power.

LOL

They guys who market Engine Rebuild in a Can, Slick 50 and all those other automotive snake oils also insiste they work, do you belive themas well?

Anyways you're better off spending the money on a quantum flux capacitor, I did.

Ok well I can clearly see that you guys don't believe in it ....but did 1 of you or anyone ACTUALLY try it???

why don't you go waste your money on it and stop wasting bandwidth.

OKay I got one of these things. it is on my jeep, I bought it last month and it came with it, The guy who sold me the jeep said it gave him better mileage and more HP. I will take it out one day and see if it is true.

do it up. this should be interesting. :laugh:

It's been dyno tested
you lose about 2 peak hp on a honda motor

The only applications where it could potentially work, is on BIG 400+ ci carbed or TBI engines... but alot of domestic V8's, just because of the OHV layour, have a built in port bias that generates good swirl.
Others have built in bumps that enhance swirl.... gen 3 heads, for example, have little 'ski-jumps' cast off to one side of the valve guides

FACT:

I Dyno tested a 2001 Type R motor with bolt ons made 178whp

Tested it withe the tornado made 178whp didn't lose power anywhere

#1 The tornado is not a restriction as you may think
#2 it does work on big motors with poor intake plenum designs

It does work on some applications, but for the 99.99 with a money back gaurentee you be the judge, its funny how so many people put it down yet have never tested it or tried it. I was sent to the dyno with it on different cars to see if it worked.

i had it on my Volvo.....

WAIT!!

before u start throwing bricks at me, the car came with them....yes, it HAD 2, the idiot that i bought the car from had one before the turbo and one before the intake manifold

i was so disgusted when i saw them i immeditely ripped them out.

btw, that Volvo had worse milage than my previouse exact same one....

the problem is not the restriction
it could potentially break up laminar flow depending on how the intake is actually routed

...
 

waste of money...

I work at performance improvements, I actually have sold a lot of these, we have a 30 money back guarntee and you know what, very few have came back, mainly due to fitment, but I have had several customers say good things, we had a customer dyno on a trans am(lt1) and he said he picked up a few hp with it, Like I said before 30 money back, buy one, try it, and if it doesnt work bring it back, no questions asked.

if u drive a truck or something with a big displacement these actually work well.
all u honda guys dont bother wasting $100 bucks.
