Have you guy 's heard of this

[srb 33]

It's the Tornado Fuel Saver, which promises to increase power by about 10 hp and save fuel for up to 28%

It is a device that you fit between the airflow pipe and the manifold intake. It blows incomming air into the manifold in a tornado motion.

I'll try and provide the link http://www.myauto.tv/tornado/?referal=79920995.

is this some Yankee gimic?

[PHATR32]

sounds like a gimic man

well centrifugal circulation of air through a tunnel is more efficient than straight through, but all it does it cut down the friction of the air against the side walls of the intake... in the grand scheme of thigs, on a turbo car where the intake can be sucking air in so fast it can suck a stone in, it maskes absolutely bugger all difference.

So yeah yankee money making gimmick.

I never heard this shit before.

Anyway another question, I grew up in Melbourne and have been living Brisbane for last three years. I reckon there are more skylines between Bribane and the gold coast then

anywhere in Australia.

What do you reckon or is it that I only see what I am interested in?

[funkymonkey]

in the last three years the number of imports in melbourne has exploded. On my last trip up to brissy I saw more GTSt's badged as GTR's than anything else, but yeah they got some really nicely done up imports there. I reckon the import scene in both cities is on par atm.

whats the point when you already have a turbo??

[Evo_Lee]

There are many gimmicks around...they have something similar sold at Super AB, and there are also polarizers/magnets stickers you can afix to your engine and airbox...

Your better off taking out your spare tire or carpets if you wanna run a little quicker.

Correct me if im wrong, but isnt that exactly what a turbo does?

If its an electric fan sort of thing, where are you going to get the kilowatts of power required? Isnt that why you have an exhaust housing of a turbo, to drive the impellor?

[Intensevil]

a turbo compresses teh air, the tornado thing simply makes it swirl which is stupid because it does nothing usefull
