Again, BS info. The tornato is a gimmick just like these electronic superchargers. Anything that claims ridiculous amounts of gains for such a low cost is crap.

Not true... My Injen Stickers added about 5 hp EACH! It was very noticable the first time i put them on. I plan to upgrade to APC decals but i have a little more to save up.

ok, the nado is suggested by a few machine shops I know that have very good reputations and considering i gutted my 89 civic air system and all its mix flaps, and chokes, it works better than the stock mixing. The idea is simple, it wont take a second off your time or anything. But it doesnt spew fanblades into your engine.

SERIOUS QUESTION.... Has ANYONE EVER ACCTUALLY put one of those fans on and then put the car on a dyno. I would be interested to see how much you either gain or lose(considering you car may be able to suck more air than that fan can blow) because even if you only got 5 or 6 hp thats still 5 hp you didnt have before. If it did ACCTUALLY give you power the only thing to do next would be make one completely out of metal so that it wouldnt sling apart.

BUT with out actually seeing the thing on the dyno with my own eyes before and after the run i wouldnt believe it.

h22. it boosts low end before cfm measures fight it, the reason the ele fans die is because of high rpms under a load forcing them to spin faster causing a negitive feedback to the coiling of the motor. you would almost have to have a bypass valve for pressurizing. its not worth it in my book.
