I was up watchin some good 'ol infomercials last night and I saw this thing called "The Tornado". I'm sure some of you have seen it as well with the hickity hick banjo music playin in the background. Anyways, they were boasting of a 20 hp jump just by putting this metal cylinder either behind or in the middle of your air cleaner (depending on carb or fuel injected). Does this thing actually work? I doubt it would really get a 20hp boost, but does it get any off of it? They say that it funnels air into your intake quicker (with the power of a tornado... ) but I have my doubts.

haha, no

If that worked and was really that simple then why wouldnt car manufacturers put that in the car to start with?
|
infomercials= crap
|
Oh yeah! It works great for its designed purpose: taking the $ away from unsuspecting people!
|
It's pure BULL! lol
|
Dude it works like a champ. I swear. You should buy it. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

It cant add HP, it isnt yellow or made by apc.
|
I got your tornado. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png Hell, if it's not too expensive you could try it out for us.. then tell us how it worked. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

lol, now that I've made myself look like a complete idiot, at least I'm educated. Thanks for the feed back.

I bought one for my Honda when it first came out. At 115hp, you'll try anything for more power. Mugen stickers are like nitrous! Anyhow, I decided to try it on the 7 just because I allready owned one. Holly Mcrap Mcfly! ...the boost shoved the focker all the way through the tubes to the throttle body!!! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif

No. Looking like an idiot would have been you buying it, then posting a kill in the kills section about how it made you pull on a Viper at 170+...

hey actually I made something similar to the tornado for my friends sentra...it really didn't make much difference BUT it did make some. BTW don't buy it cause I made one myself out of really thin sheet metal while I was chillin' in jack-in-the-box with some friends.
It just causes the air to become jetted and more rapid...or something. Just like the difference between a APC cold air intake and an AEM.. yea that's what I mean. |
those things worked i put one in my FC and im fast now...i was racing and i won

actually i say one dyno with and without one and the HP was increased by 5hp with the tornado, then they put on colored vacum lines and the HP jumped up another 20HP!!!!! i was like damn i need me some color vacum lines.

It's the famed "low-impedence plug wires" and spark plugs, up to 15% over stock!!

hows it help airflow when it is a catalyst to block airflow

But wait theres more!!! If you call with in the next 20 minutes we will double your order! thats right, 2 tornados for the price of one!! And we will knock of one payment!!

It seems that they forgot to add that on top of that tornado they added they changed the whole exhaust system and put a whole lot of tornado stickers https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/ohmy.png
