I been looking on the net and i saw these turbonator vortex generators that mount inside your air intake pipe. They're cheap and claim to increase up to 35 hp....
Does anyone own one or know anything bout them, cos if its true then thats good bang for your buck..
Is it meant to be some kind of FI?
Cause if its and electric fan thats meant to force air into the intake.....then it will do SFA.
Do a search on one of the american honda forums....some of them learnt the hard way!
don't bother....
it's bs....
do a search on OZHONDA!! someone did it on his CRX!!!! for fun, and dynoed it as well!!!
hahah haha OMG not the return of Spiralmax !
man forget that CRAP
its all a marketing ploy for ricers.
believe me, they have been around for years now and tested and ridiculed for being a waste of time and money.
Vortex, Tornado.. it has many names.. :roll:
it's just a crappy piece of tin that goes inside your intake tube. It is designed (in theory) to make the intake air flow swirl in a cricular motion as it is sucked past the 'vortex' doo-dad...
in THEORY it may work a little, but I doubt you would notice ANY difference under your right foot.
I am most sceptical of the el-cheapo construction and can only iomagine what one of the tiny metal fins would do if it got sucked into your intake manifold.
STAY AWAY FROM THESE GIMMICKS !!

Vortex generators only work on the wings of old jets, such as 707's etc...
Is this gimmick like those Electronic Superchargers the yanks like to buy for so called "Instant" cheap HP??
CHEERS
