I am not sure how it allows engine to burn fuel more fully and efficiently. What they need to show is dyno comparison of vehicle before and after the install of turbonator instead of just stating that independent lab showing results as high as x hp.... 20 hp gain on what vehicle?

In order to sell the products, they'd better show what the sample definition and experiment conditions are as widely used in engineering fields.


How does it work?
The Turbonator's airflow dynamics produces a swirling, fast-burn effect in the combustion chamber. This creates finer particles of atomized fuel, allowing better flame propagation and more complete combustion.

By enhancing fuel atomization the Turbonator produces increased horsepower and fuel economy. An emissions lab, licensed by the EPA conducted tests on non-moving vortex generators that produced results as high as 20 horsepower and 24% increases in mileage. Other independent studies yielded results as high as 35 HP and 31% MPG. Although results varied from vehicle to vehicle, gains were evident, and considering the unit is inexpensive, easy to install, and requires no maintenance, installing the Turbonator is a worthwhile investment

Do not buy it, it does not work. Unless you count it being a inpediment to airflow being a good thing. Since it's blocking off air, maybe the ECU cuts back on gas to keep the same A/F ratio, and - voila - better mileage?!

 

Good god, I don't know why or how they sell those pieces of ****. Don't buy it. Buy an exhaust and intake.

 

NO PLEASE BUY IT.....DYNO IT...AND YOU'D MOST LIKELY SEE YOU LOST $100!!

These people need to die in a fire. You aren't going to lose a second off your quarter mile by restricting your air flow.

well in there defense.....the peon now has 44-47 WHEEL hp

 

That part worries me too. Not only did 10whp drop a second off the quarter mile time, but a 47whp car runs high 15s? Kind of makes my prelude embarrassing (sp?) to drive.
