i am not a big beliver in these things infact i think it would be more of a restriction to air flow but what do you think of it is there any actuall suposed reasons why i should buy one

ive heard that the swirling affect helps in the plenum but i cant think of how it would

any comments more than welcome

Seriously ??

........What do you think? It has no energy source of any kind, so at best it a big pinwheel that's good for entertaining little children.

[vr1uz-fe]

well i figured that much but as for the swirling affect in the plenum is that bs

These products performance is inversely related to the IQ of the user.

As the IQ of the user decreased the performance gains increase and vise versa.

There are a variety of products that fall into this category, most of them distributed via ebay, they include:

Swirly intake pipe things, intake sensor "chips", electric turbo/superchargers and the like.

Hope this helps.

i bought one of them once!!!! i was so hungover trawling ebay, stumbled on it. read 60,000 rpm, thought "that sucker spins faster that my angle grinder!!!!"

so obviously bought it... was grossly dissappointed when i later realised it had no motor so now i spin it up with the air gun and it makes a cool 'siren' type noise.

i gotta stay off ebay when hungover

It's about a good as attaching one of these...
to your Air intake

Have a look at your MAF, it has a mesh there, and its job is to 'straighten' the air so it can read properly. So one of these swirly things with just be countered by the MAF. Also highly doubt that it will actully change the airflow 'direction' at all, the air will simply spin the 'blades', not the blades spin the air.

+1 thats funny hahahaha

[vr1uz-fe]

wonder what the power in crease of a hair dryer would be without the elements on lol thats some funny shit

[mattgreen]

FACEPLANT some people are so mentaly retarted that its not evan funny...

What amazes me isn't the fact that there are actually people stupid enough to buy these things - it's the fact that there are so idiots, it's actually worth manufacturing the bloody things!

( I must admit, I've been intrigued by the possibility of cheap power boosts for some time. I'm still working out how to harness my mate's farts to the intake. When he's around, who need nitrous?)

you forgot the magnets.

[Super_Low 91]

that combined with a frictionless open wheeler will get awsome power to the ground

[f1tzy]

I thought you were a mechanic with with supreme knowledge?

[calais24/7]

Im embarrased to say i was replacing my air flow meter and i found a very very similar one in my car, took it out and just thought wtf :S To the op, ill give it to you, its laying around the shed

[vr1uz-fe]

I thought you were a mechanic with with supreme knowledge?

yea my knowlage told me that they are bs but i wanted to know if any one could some how explain a vague reason for why it would work

[vr1uz-fe]

you forgot the magnets.

what about the polarizer

[vr1uz-fe]

i wonder if some one bought all the bs cheap mods out there for a commodore then used them wonder if there would be a change on the dyno street machine should test this or street commodores

[ari666]

dont need to. simple theory really. people open up their air inlets to allow more flow. sticking something that restrictive means less flow.

also, how much money do car manufacturers put into R&D. you dont think they would be using this tech already if it worked?
