tornado,turbonator,vortec cyclone..."supercharge your c

KhaosGT · February 6th, 2007, 10:50 PM

ok so im sure you have all seen these gadgets that are suposed to add up to 30 horse power and "supercharge" your car by swirling the air...has anyone actually tried one of these things and seen a gain in power?...personally i think its b.s

HMUSN · February 6th, 2007, 10:51 PM

you think right.

stick a hair drier in your intake and put on a toggle switch of ther same result

itschristorres8 · February 6th, 2007, 10:51 PM

Invictus · February 6th, 2007, 10:55 PM

ATLmustang · February 7th, 2007, 08:00 AM

they dont tell you that the real power is in the stickers that comes with them

Ryno · February 7th, 2007, 09:37 AM

^haha exactly thats where the secrete lies... Whats worse is those electric "superchargers" that say you can get up to 2 p.s.i.... isnt that the air pressure at sea level?? i think i read that you get that same psi at sea level.... what a rip off

ibanez570x · February 7th, 2007, 10:33 AM

to be honest it makes me kinda sad some one had to ask that question.... my girlfriend (whose clueless) was looking over my shoulder when i was on ebay awhile back and said "that cant work can it?"

ChrisJ · February 7th, 2007, 10:44 AM

Its all bs...

WAVEBYE · February 7th, 2007, 11:11 AM

actually sea level air pressure is 14.7psi

MySallyMI · February 7th, 2007, 06:50 PM

They are all BS, they were proved to all be BS in a mustang mag i read, think about it introducing anything into the air chamber of your car would add resistance. Forget about swirling anything, last i checked it took my man made logs longer to make laps around the bowl than to get sucked straight down.

neckbonekat · February 8th, 2007, 03:58 AM

Are you guys kidding? I have two and it added like 50 RWHP! No bull Sh*t! I'm getting a third one this weekend! I now get like 30 mpg. You guys are all stupid!

The local news does a scam busters segment and they had one installed at a community college auto shop. The car lost HP and gas mileage due to the added restriction.

gills99stang · February 8th, 2007, 08:14 PM

Agree with everything said... but I would like to pose a question...

Superchargers are powered by a belt coming off the engine, spinning a turbine to push air into the car. So, why couldn't one theoretically get an electric motor to do the same thing, and have it run off the cars power?

Ryno · February 8th, 2007, 11:01 PM

^seems like it would need ALOT of power, and i think it would need to spin faster as the RPMs rise

superbeef1000 · February 9th, 2007, 03:27 AM

you think right.

stick a hair drier in your intake and put on a toggle switch of ther same result

hey i run 2 conairs

gills99stang · February 12th, 2007, 07:04 AM

So one would think that you could run an electric fan off of your car's DC power and have it spin faster or slower as per the RPM's of the engine.

ibanez570x · February 12th, 2007, 12:00 PM

seems to me the current required to turn that would drain the battery in a second... I mean, that would have to be a serious turbine...

ATLmustang · February 12th, 2007, 01:27 PM

what about using a air ccompressor to force air through the intake ? idk how that would work just an idea
