nah i dont know its only $70 and with a garunteed money back deal i dont see why giving it a go would be such a bad idea plus it wouldnt take much to remove if you needed to claim somethng under warranty

so if its a strap on 35kw for $70 cant go wrong i reckon but i would recomend looking more into it cus they didnt mention any of the bad things that can happen (lol who would when there trying to sell something)

also it has 8 magazine titles covering it i see too but i only recognise 3 of the titles

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

i see the holden VL commodore forum organising a group buy on this thing :lol:

Yep, reminds me of the late 80's with Peter Brock's polariser.....

Read about these things and I put them in the same thing as the energy polariser,magnets on your fuel line to change the polarity of the fuel molecules etc etc. A lot of people looking to make a quick buck me thinks....

yeah i i sorta figured the money back thing may have been U.S only but i guess only 1 person has gotta try it out then they can tell the rest of us i think its only $70 and for the chance at maybe picking up anywhere from 15-35kw (so they claim) at the wheels thats a pretty awesome price me thinks

i am considering giving it a go i guess maybe im still thinking about it

you're a complete fool if you give these guys your cash for a cut up coke can. You might aswell also purchase a surbo while you're at it.

I can't find the webpage with the guys results from back-to-back dynotesting of these ripoff's, but he lost power consistantly through the range from the intake restriction they produce.

HAHAHAHA!!

Dude, In the singapore forums they have this little "electric turbo" that hooks into the intake pipe and the powered by the battery... essentially hook up a little electric fan into the intake pipe.. cute

yeah but i think that the fan inside the CAI pipe will make a significant difference for only a couple of dollars it destroys the whole restriction problem cus its just being forced in so i dont really see why its such a joke

its gotta be better than just having a pipe with a pod free flowing now its being forced

as for buying a turbo while im at it getting a $140 fan fitted for a half decent responsive gain

is alot cheaper than going a $10,000 custom turbo kit

besides i wanna stay N/A so every little bit helps doesnt it

when it gets to the stage where you have done everything you can to get power and its all N/A and you fall say 5kw short of your goal then i bet that fan inside the CAI will get you probably about 5kw

im not saying its awesome or nothing but when putting power in an N/A car everything helps that little bit

EDIT

yes i know i have used the words forced and N/A key comment using the fan as a form of forced induction but i dont think it can really be counted as a NON N/A part

i think anyways

Its tough to find a fan that will generate the pressure diff that will make it worthwhile and still run from the batt or straight from the alternator.

Still I'm thinking about it and would love suggestions towards making a prototype inpipe blower.

yeh i think the sucking from a TRD CAI would break the fan :P but about the 'turbonator' i think its a scam, it sounds like it could improve fuel efficiency, but i don't see how it can produce any power gains, its like this dodgy resistors they're selling off ebay, they apparently do something to the ecu or something and its $20 hehe

Yeah dont want to sound like a ****** or anything, but this made me laugh guys.

A fan inside your intake pipe? You guys are aware that the engine by nature sucks in air? it does not need a fan to 'push' air in - this is the "induction" noise you get from an air intake, it is just the vacuum of air going through the filter.

And hells no it is not classified as forced induction, it is nothing like recycling exhaust gases and spooling up air pressure or using compressed air to drive a pulley.

Too much rice factor here guys, these dodgy contraptions do not do a pinch of shiznet. Dont get sucked in and (not that i am a pro, quite the newb actually) its an idea to get a good understanding of how engines work and forced induction on a technical level before digging into your pocket and forking out for dodgy mods, that way you know what is complete crap and what is the real deal.

Good show mintos!

But it from a theoritical point of view (too much unpracticed engineering here) it is highly possible to create a small pressure difference with in the intake that will enable faster airflow.

(and the answer may not lie in an inline fan, i'm still pondering it)

but the problem is that without building this sucker from scratch and cutomizing a control system for it based on speed and engine output (revs) it will only benefit the engine for a very narrow speed and rpm range.

And then deciding whether or not this is feasible, and at the end of the day, its just a bit of fun for a project.

exactly i havent claimed that in doing so it WILL or WILL NOT give me any gaines i was just saying the price isnt gonna brake the bank so i might as well give it a go

who knows it might work wonders and i might just get what it claims to give then ill be 35kw ahead of you all hehe :D

Would you send me $70 if I promised to up your power by 35kW?

Seriously guys, this sh*t was covered before (search for the thread, I cbf'd), including an in depth analysis of the engineering and fluid dynamics principles involved. But, at the end of the day it's a free country and if you want to waste your time and money, then I support you 100%

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.

      Camry Touring 2010 A/C Issues.

      Hi Guys, My Camry 2010 Touring just had a regas done on it and the next day for some reason it wasn't blowing cold air but the next day it is and now working with nice cold air BUT every now and then we can hear and feel a buzz for a few secounds and today while my sister took my car I could her like a mild knocking sound when stopped but goes away when driving off. Any idea what this could be and the A/C is always working now for now.
