The turbonator is kinda like a supercharger that is only 70 dollars and supposed to make a noticable gain. Has anyone heard of this or tried it on there 2.8l im realy interested in the results. Thank you.

 

sounds like a bunch of bs to me

spend the 70 bucks on something else



its turbonator.com or some thing

 

yeah, i've see it on ebay it's junk spend ur money on a better cam

 

http://www.turbonator.com/ --- Read this and get drawn into how unbelievably great the product really is.

http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/autos/gasave.htm --- Then read what the Federal Trade Commission has to say about this kinda BS product and just how full of crap those guys really are.

And then search for them on TGO, because it's been explained in great technical detail just why they're up to their armpits in ****.

If it sounds too good to be true.......

 

Pure crap.
Thank you Federal Trade Commission :hail:

 

The only place it could help is on a carbed car. where air n fuel mix pretty close.

not gonna help any FI car. the air wont swirl that long, soon as it hits throttle plates, n then the runners, its doin what it wants.



holley sells a smooth plastic lip for their carbs. $50 and it does help, but only cause the air n fuel mixes so close.

 

yeah, I could see possible marginal gains when the fuel's being introduced within 4-6" of the device. Anything to help atomization there wouldn't be a bad thing.. but by the time the air gets anywhere near fuel for the FI versions of these snake oil products, it's gone through so many turns in runners that it's not going to be affected at all...

 

thanks guys

it did sound like a load of bs

 

It's the same BS as the "Tornado"

 

people use to and still run velocity stacks on carbs or on motor cycles, as it helps. but same thing, air n fuel are mixing very close by. Only reason it works/helps.

 

velocity stacks are a little different they are designed to smooth the air flow into the carb. if you noticed a lot of carbs the intake around them isn't the smoothest so the velocity stacks provide that round shape that is a lot smoother then the sharper edges. look at the demon carbs or even the old ITB designs notice how the edge is all round and smooth


this product is designed the swirl the air and doesn' work as they claim.... it's snake oil :-)
