anyone heard of the turbonator
i found this thing called the turbonator that is put directly into your air intake and by swirling the air that goes in is supposed to add up to 35 hp and increase your gas mileage. i want your guys opinions. http://www.turbonator.com

putting anything behind your filter is stupid... the plastic will break and shoot into your IM... that cant be good
plus im sure it slows down air flow in the intake chamber

Electric Superchargers!
Before you say, Oh my ******* god, these guys at Homemadeturbo.com are ******* Idiots, Listin up... Everyone has seen these stupid/fake Electronic Superchargers. They are all over ebay. People are buying these up for 50-$250!! I could not belive that ****! It was pretty obvious what you were buying, a blower motor for Boats. You can get these blowers at any Marine Store. So we decided to pick one up for $17.00 bucks at a Marine Shop online, and test this baby out. Might as well give it a shot.
Here is our little kit we built ourselves. a 4' to 3' adapter at Home Depot, a 4' Turbo Inline Blower, and some Speaker Wire. I am sure the $250 kits are much nicer than this.. haha! (probably not)
Here are the specs on this badboy, Wow, 230CFM @ 13.6volts.. Sure sounds like alot of air, is this to good to be true?
Hah, Their is Mike holding the ELECTRIC SUPERCHARGER.. He mounted it directly at the end of my Intake. The victim is my 89 Honda CRX SI (Mini-Me)
It was a little tight to get in their, but we managed to get it to fit, we were thinking maybe if we took the headlight out it would work alot better..
Overall, this peice of **** is a joke, It caused more of a restriction than anything. Not to mention it sounds really stupid. Its More like -10hp, since we could not find a use for this thing we decided to swing the baseball bat at it.. It was funny to watch all the peices scatter everywhere..
I feel sorry for all the people who bought one of these things thinking it was really going to make some Horsepower... oh well</TD></TR></TABLE>

Re: anyone heard of the turbonator (faultofhumanity)
Well...some people are selling electric turbos, and the turbonator is a slotted vent that makes the air flowing in your intake swirl. With the combustion chamber design of hondas...along with fuel injection, they will do us absolutely no good. The 35 hp gain was on an impala SS that was putting like 235 to the ground anyway. ( I watched the infomercial HEHE)
