"Tornado Air System" (As Seen on TV)? It's "designed to enhance fuel economy and increase power. Increases gas mileage up to 24%." I just saw it in a Pep Boys ad and was wondering if it does what it says. Does anyone have it or knows of it?
Yeah, I noticed some people already spoke of this a while ago but does anyone have any new insight? Thanks. |

Really going to disagree with you on that comment... Hyperground wires ( the real kit, not imitation ) was prolly the best 120$ I ever spent... hooked em up on my G/F's supercharged civic and noticed a huge difference in the way it ran. as for the tornado.. I picked on up a while back on an impulse when I took my celica upto JCwhitney when I still was running my 5sfe. At that time I had an injen short air intake also hooked up among other things and I did notice a differnce with it installed, but not a 24% increase or anything like that. You guys will have to keep in mind that this product was designed for carburated vehicles originally on which it make alot more sense to use a product like this, Using it on fuel injected cars came as kind of an afterthought, and obviously wont work as well. You can have something like this machined that will work alot better.. basically get a throttle body gasket from a local autoparts store for the motor type you have and take that gasket to a machine shop and have them make a spaceer to go between your throttle body and your intake manifold that is between 1.5-2 inches and have them swirl the inside of it. this will give the airflow a sprial to it right before the runners in the intake manifold and will not impeed airflow - this is a trick done on alot of cars and is pretty inexpensive to do with fairly good gains 5-7HP.. places like summit and other part places sell premades of these for alot of cars --------------------  99 project version 3.0.. hello SEMA 2010 =) |
