Tornado

What do you guys think about this product?

I saw a infocomerical today, where they had an impalla SS i think making 200 rwhp and 220 after the install of this product. I was actually gonna buy one, but then got hold of myself. These commercials can sell us monkeys even if we did not need it.

The commercial was very convincing. i was gonna buy one and test it out for you guys. But I am tight on funds.

Kenne bell has a maf that intergrates vanes in their pipes. Similiar to the vornado except that it runs the full length of the pipe. So the Vornado does not seem to be a new idea, but does it work?
 
It probably would not work in our application. the "tornado" is installed in the intake assuming that it is going straight into the throttle body. Between our intake and throttle body there is a turbo and intercooler I think this might effect the "tornado".
 
Ahh!

Your right i think in that situation. But what about installing it ight by the throttle body?

The KB maf pipe had the vanes angled so that it helped spin the turbo wheel.


In the vornado website they do have 3.8l turbo application. But they probably were stupid enough to have it desighned to fit in the stock maf hose.

For Turbo cars it will go before the IC or after the IC. Check out the crappy video.....http://www.tornadofuelsaver.com/info/video.php
 
THINK ABOUT IT

The turbo already makes swirl????? why would you need it??
Maybe if it was a NA or a carburated vehicle it would help but not in our application....................;)

Swirl? Turbo is a force induction. How's its going to do the swirling thingy? :D
 
Either way I am kind of weary of a flimsy piece of aluminum sitting in front of my throttle body. Get a power plate.

Very funny, but like the lotto.

"Hey you never know":p

This one, most know about. :)

If it was so easy, it would already be on there....
 
A friend of mine bought 2 of them...one for his TTA and the other one for his 98 GTP Pontiac. The GTP increased 3 MPG normal around town driving according to his on-board computer. On the the TTA he has not had it on long enough to check the mileage yet. On the TTA it is placed in the up-pipe at the throttle body. On the GTP it is placed in the MAF pipe.
 
while your at it.. i know where you can get some blinker fluid, muffler bearings, and best of all... an O pipe --> http://www.kalecoauto.com/perf.htm . i swear dude.. it's for real, our cars are torque monsters already.. get an O pipe in there and ... OMG you'll be ripping wheelies like there's no tomorrow
 
LOL!!!!

This is the best one......


"O" Pipe
You've heard of the Y pipe.. the X pipe.. the H pipe.. nothing can touch the O pipe!!! It provides 100% backpressure feedback on ALL engines!! Torque increase and kuneutson valve float brings in much lower revs so you don't hurt your motor! Pipe shown is powdercoat black for car with DUAL EXHAUST. Not CARB Legal. Please specify Stainless or Powdercoat and also if you are using dual or single exhaust. 3" diameter.
 
If it worked that good don't you think Ford,GM and DCX would put them on all cars and avoid paying millions of $$$$ in CAFE fuel milage fines every year???? :eek:

Just my .02
:cool:
