Default Turbonator?

Ok so just noticed this "turbo charge" banner link deal on the top of the page and decided to see what this was about.
http://www.turbonator.com/inde...Civic

YES I DID A SEARCH ON THIS ALREADY!

Wondering if any of you have tried this thing out and any additional stories on this thing would be appreciated!

On a Honda, yes.....beleive it or not the stupid things actually work on some motors. We did a dyno test on a Dodge Dakota and it picked up about 5 whp across the whole powerband from it. Needless to say I was in a state of shock for several days.


The principle behind them is that the vortex effect helps with atomization of fuel. Its similar to the idea behind swirl cut TB spacers......less useful on an MPFI car.


At any rate they are ricer crap and have a history of letting go of the plastic blades. Mmm Mmm yeah thats good for the intake valves.
