$69.95 supercharger?

[Accordie]

hey guys check this out
http://www.spiralmax.com/
anyone tried it? wonder if it works or is this one of those scams?

[adams86lxi]

i heard they dont work!

[deadlight]

I wouldn't waste the money on it, a vacuum line removal will get you more power than that thing ever would, and the vacuum line removal is free. I don't think they even know what the hell they're talking about anyways, they say you can use it on any internal combustion engine, gas or diesel, well there's one of many things I see wrong with the picture, diesels aren't technically internal combustion, they don't use a spark to ignite the fuel air mixture, they say it'll give me smoother shifting...WTF?
And oh yeah, 100 bucks to anyone with dyno sheets saying it actually gave them 35 more horses at the wheels, if all this were true, CAI would be a thing of the past, sorry if I'm ranting, but I don't think the people who made that shit know what they're talking about.

but they are still definitly internal combustion.

[deadlight]

Yes, they are in a sense internal combustion, but are not referred to as internal combustion. I've heard someone call it external combustion even, don't know where that came from though. The only sense that it's internal combustion is that fuel is ignited inside the cylinder. Don't know shit about Diesels though either

somebody has to try this, you have a 30 day warranty that you can get all of your money back, come on someone.

[Cyric_accord]

jesus, this thing is just one of those Twister things a few years ago.... you are supposed to stick it inside the intake and becuase of it's "patented swirl design" it's supposed to help. All it does is change the rotation of the incoming air into the throttle body.... And look what happened to the twister thing, nobody knows or cares about it anymore

[Grant2k]

i like the crappy pencil drawings. it looks like they just buy tornados and sell them under their own name. what a piece of shit.

[1988starter]

Crap

[Vinny]

thats the same as that tonado or whatever that "as seen on TV" POS thing is

[89 Accords Rock]

its the same as a turbo5000. get one from your local boat store its a turbo fam costs 15 dollars. look at a boat shop

what you are thinking of is a bilge pump which is a totally different scam. the thing that is in this link is just a piece of metal, but the bilge pumps are electronically driven fans. there's been a ton of threads about both.

[Cyric_accord]

hahaha, did you guys read about their "patented Turbo Exhaust tube"? it does the same thing as the Turbo Air Twister, eexcept it fits on your exhaust tips. HAHAHA, I'm gonna increase power and fuel economy by making a tornado of exhaust gases behind my car.... idiots, mybe we should market them to ricer's... they might think they're cool

[BootMachine]

That product is the biggest bunch of crap!

All the mixing of the fuel is dont at the ports because we have tuned multi port fuel injection!

ALSO..to change the path of the intake charge you need energy ...which will come out of the intake charge....so....all your doing in increasing intake resistance!

BS...TOTAL BS!

spin the air into your engine....ha ha ha...thats funny!

About all it would do is decrease flow and increase velocity MAYBE giving you a little better throttle response!

[Justin86]

You would be much better off hooking up a leaf blower fan. Just set it up like you would a turbo but it is electric.

[smufguy]

what a waste of human resource. Threads like this have been come and gone and still no one wants to just hit the search button. Anyway, how are you grant? been a long time since i have seen u here.

Praveen, what's up dude! yeah i've been out for a while but i'm back i made a thread about it in off topic last week i think. anyway as you know i am an advocate of the search button myself. good to see someone who's been around for a while say it. hahaha.

[thundertank]

i havent been around that long and i love that shit brings up a lot of stuff and saves time.

[deadlight]

I actually did see a turbine type thing in an exhaust tip, it was a carbon fiber muffler with a turbine in it.

what you may have seen is a muffler that Ractive makes that is called a "Turbo" muffler. they put this little whirly thing in the end that is supposed to make it sound like your car is turboed. the idea is a piece of shit.

[Cyric_accord]

I'd rather stick these on as my exhaust tips instead of those stupid "exhaust turbines":

atleast then I could see where my exhaust was when it's really dark out, be rice-cool :lol
