Default Tornado Fuel Saver

Will the tornado fuel saver be a problem fitting inside the short air intake? Does anyone actually have this in the cold air or the short air intake?

You drive a Honda; that's a fuel saver.

I don't know if your original question was serious or not. However, everyone here is just trying to help you, in his or her own way. The device you're asking about doesn't work. Period. It is a complete waste of money, and won't increase power or fuel economy on your car. All it will do is add a restriction to your intake. To answer your question though, it will not function with a metal intake tube, because it is intended to be held in place by the friction between the device and the flexible rubber intake tubing. Again, do yourself a favour, and spend your money on something else.

Don't mind these idiots. I recommend using the stock intake setup with the Tornado, since that's what it was designed to work in.

We install them all the time and see fuel gains of 3 gallons per mile. highly recommended product. If you drive in reverse your engine will even put more gas back in the tank, according to jim.

Something we g2 let you in on.

The whole tornado, extra 20hp, extra 10mpg, TOTAL scam.

It does NOTHING for your car and any gains you think you are getting are just in ur head (you're not actually getting anything).

It does not only do NOTHING to HELP your car, but it HURTS your cars HP.

How? It's an object in the air intake, that means whether air flows it's "patented tornado fin design" or not it is still a blockage, it will create air resistance. This means air won't flow in as hard, you'll lose power.

It's a scam to get people that don't know anything about cars to buy it. I mean think of what they're doing, they're having some dome shmuck pay 60 bucks for a piece of metal that only cost them 3.99 to build. Totally genius idea as they've gotten TONS of people to buy that **** and the dumb expletive that just spent 60 dollars on it thinks it's giving him 20whp and it's the best thing since sliced bread.

It does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING as far as gains go and I'm willing to bet a lot on that.

If you wanna drop 60 bucks on something, buy a header. At least that'll net you ~5 whp even on your stock D-series motor.

That's the reason why everybody's laughing at you, because they happen to know a thing or two; and one of the thing or two people know is that never to buy those scams such as the turbonator or the tornato.

Please don't feed ignorant newbs bullshit.

Dyno proof is proof, what you "feel" isn't.

I wouldn't trust a testimony from a guy that says it accelerated faster by: "the MPH went up faster too."

All of his SUPER HP GAINS are in h is ******* head. How do I know? It's physics....pure and simple.

At OP: Don't be suckered by people like this **********.

buy my product, "The WaterSprout" or it's bigger brother "The Hurricane", during research of the original tornado we learned that adding a water injection device to a newly designed higher technology tornado actually increases combustion, reduces detonation, and increases gas mileage and horse power by up to 40 percent! The best part is that you can use just regular tap water. Just refill the reservoir included with the WaterSprout or Hurricane and it's good for a month depending on how heavy your right foot is.. heavy or not you will still be saving more fuel than ever before!

Now you ask, what is the difference between the WaterSprout and Hurricane? Well the WaterSprout is designed for engines smaller than 3.0 liters and the Hurricane is designed for 3.1 liters and up. Choose the one that best fits your needs. If you are running a high horsepower 3.0 liter and below it may be best to get the Hurricane!

With the constanly rising gas prices the WaterSprout or Hurricane will buy itself within one year or less.

Prices:

WaterSprout - $79.99 if you buy today! Only 4 easy payments of 19.99!
Hurricane - $89.99 if you buy today! Only 3 easy payments of 29.99!

Order yours today and start saving instantly!

Look how the water molecules mix with the air to provide max power!


A gain of over 100 horsepower!


Results may very.

I'm not, guy. I'm looking for the thread that was in All Motor about somebody dyno testing it, and it failed horribly. You have over 3000+ post of you guessing at stuff. I'm not even here that much, and I know that. Nice try, asshat.

To the OP: It's been dyno proven to decrease horsepower by a significant amount. I've been looking for the dyno thread about it, and haven't found it yet, but when I do, I'll let you know.

Alright, alright.

Point being - it doesn't work, I did NOT read 4 pages as I do not need 4 pages to tell me it doesn't work.

Though as it's proven that it doesn't work, that should be more help to the OP to save his money.

Anybody that knows anything about cars knows it's bad, horrible, and a waste of money. Any ricer ******* pieces of **** say it's good.

It will fit into your short ram intake.

I like the way you say that - stupid remarks and comments like we're not trying to completely help you. Stupid as in somebody asking about something like the tornado or turbonator like they're actual upgrades in any way, shape, or form. Though whatever, whatever you waste your money on is your own business. I personally can't give 2 *****. I warned you, the other guy gave you dyno proven results that it doesn't work - anything else is your call.

yeah, doesn't do anything, cheap garbage. and, when it breaks (because it is crap) the broken pieces will now head directly into your engine. i guess, ultimately, this will, in fact, save you fuel because your car will no longer be running.
