    hi to all tsikoters...

    i was in an auto shop in araneta, nakita ko may 'gadget' they call it an

    Air Swirl, actually nakita ko rin ito sa TV. install ito sa hose before the intake

    manifold. ang sabi yung air na papasok swirl niya going to the engine to make

    more oxygen and better engine performance.

    Sino na nakatry nito?

    thanks

    hi ghosthunter and mga nag reply .. thank you

    it means useless pala. muntik na ako kasi naisip ko parang harmless kasi

    sa air intake lang. and yung crosswind ko kasi emits white smoke on start up

    naisip ko baka kulang sa air intake....

    have a nice day to all..

    I think what you have is quite different from that we are referring to. What you have is an aux fan to pull outside air into your engine bay.

    Useless... i watched one of those infomercials last year. They tested a diesel Adventure with and without the product from Balintawak - NLEX - Angeles/Dau and vice versa. They showed better FC with the swirl thingee but one thing they did not mention which i noticed on screen was they were running 80kph with the swirl thing on and 100kph without it... so talagang mas matipid yung run with the gadget.

    Car and Driver also did a controlled test with those products (on a closed circuit, controlled speed and weight) and there was no difference.

    Sir Ghost, I often see your mentioned devices attached to the air intake hose of vehicles in magazines abroad, acting as a air ram, am i right in presuming that its a faux supercharger that is not belt driven? Does it really have a effect? How much rpm does the fan need to help in the air ramming process? I'm curious, coz medyo madali lang naman gawin. Will it affect fuel consumption and/or will it affect hp?

    hahaha. so the "gadget" is a catalyst to making oxygen beyond 21% of the air you breathe?
