What do you guys think about the tornado air thing. Seen an infomercial about it. Looks interesting. Do you guys/gals think it will work to our advantage.

 

Send me the $$$ and I'll make one for you.



Save your $$$

 

Gimmick! All it would do is restrict air flow, which is BAD.

 

Thanks.!

 

Y2KevSE, I think you should start a "BAD Mods" section to list such gimmics as these. I would now list the Autodynamic FRONT clears, since I got condensation.

 

and jetchip...

 

I'm sure most of us will ask before purchasing something like that. Autodynamic clears aren't that bad... they just need some fixin'.

 

my roommate has that thing on his 240 SX and it doesn't do a damn thing...it is garbage

 

didn't someone say that they actually lost hp when they put it on

 

i remember motor trend doing a test on one of those things. they put one on a bmw 540 and did some testing. they found that it reduced gas mileage and actually hurt performance marginally. as someone already said, it restricts airflow...bad idea

 

I read about it in Consumer Reports Magazine, it is indeed garbage...it did lower the hp...don't get it!

 

everyone is right, it does reduce hp

 

I was actually considering buying one. Boy am I glad that I didn't. Thanks for the help!

 

sucks dude

 

8 months later and he's still getting advice

 

this again?

 

same here. was thinking about posting the question for the forum.

 

Dood! you have racing stripes? Pics please...

 

I didn't think this would come up again.!!!! They are still showing the infomercials.

 

I bought the Tornado air for my maxima. First i installed the tornado air directly befoe the throttle body and acceleration decreased and the car felt more sluggish. I took it out,and the car felt normal again. I then re-installed it directly after the airbox and before the maf sensor. (more wrench time needed for this location) I did indeed feel a difference in the cars acceleration (for the better)it really did feel quicker than stock. i would recommend this mod, but only if you install it right.

 

I bought one of these for my 97 Ford Thunderbird (4.6L V-6). My car dyno'ed at rear wheels (with other mods) at 216HP and 305Lbs, and 197HP and 279Lbs after the Tornado piece of sh/t. Numbers don't lie! Worst $80 I ever spent.

 

When I bought my current car, the previous owner had one in and I threw them away right away.

Roughs airflow restricts some (not much).

Man, if you think that's good, try this:

you guys know you responded to a post that was answered many times, and has been dormant for 5 months right?? come on, read the dates, its not hard

 

Keep trying, Brendan. But if history is a guide, you'll never be able to overcome human nature. My recommendation would be to join the Offical Thread Killer Crew and put your feelings in your sig. That way you can constructively protest the human propensity for being too lazy to discover the answers for ourselves.

Laziness is the root of all evil!

 

Hey now I would actually try one of those. Just not for $300.

 

just be sure to use plenty of Slick 50 with it for real *dynotastic* results...

 

 

I've got one of these, didn't do a damn thing for me, it now adorns my PC speaker subwoofer. If anyone would like it or try it on the dyno then its yours. Works really good as the worlds first corrosion resistant paperweight or a great conversation starter

 

1 year 6 mos and counting!

 

Everyone is right about this. i think its common sense. When you add that think it restricts the air flow so you burn less gas. When less air comes, less gas will be sprayed (for injection cars). this product its only good for saving money on gas.

 

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!!!!

This is almost worst than the paint chip thread but shotrer!!!!

 

this makes about as much sense as the "if I speed faster I'll get there sooner so even though I get worse gas mileage overall it's better because less time on the road means I'll burn less gas" argument.

edit: one year, eleven months and counting... why don't "tornado air" threads get locked?

 

my friend got tornado air in his car and it slowed his car

 

NO
