non moving intake vortex

[sp001in]

I've seen these on Ebay, they do something tricky to the air making easier to mix or something, sounds decent, opinions?

hmmm... looks like a cheap version of a hyclone. i think they are suppose to act like a turbo fan thingy in the air intake, something about forcing air in. wait for some more replies, but i heard that they are just a waste of money

Hmm...I can see how adding a restriction to your intake pipe would make the car run better. *cough* bullshit *cough*.

What a load of crap. I wouldn't touch that with a honda engine. LOL. they wouldn't do a damn thing in my experience. If anything they'd make it run worse.

There is some merit I guess. I've never trialled them but I've always been quick to mock them. They do look like more of a blockage and I honestly wouldn't bother.

i've added one to my VS v6 and i'm quite pleased with it... i have a RACE flow CAI and i placed a vortec cyclone between the filter and MAF...

am getting 10L/100km in w.syd and the car feelsi lighter, smoother, and more powerful...

too poor for a dyno

The best thing about people posting that they have hyclones/vortex/next piece of metal stuck in the intake that does nothing, you find out the people that are easy to scam.

VSCristian, I can get your fuel economy down even lower... Magnets on the fuel rails, help the particles in the fuel better align for better fuel economy.

scam or not, my weekly driving routine and habits have not changed but this friday arvo I had just under half a(59L) tank and had done 310kms where before it used to say 230-250kms....

i do around 1000kms a week....

what a waste of a dig...

don't bother trying to argue your point. neither me, nor anyone else on this forum believes that adding a restriction to the intake will increase economy and performance. you've been on this forum for less than a month, so you bring absolutely no credibility to the argument. take note - not one credible person has ever said these things work.

end of story.

Say what? what good will a magnet on the fuel rail do?

It's called sarcasm, he was implying that VSCristian believes the metal do-da works then these magical magnets will work as well
