Turbonator... :)

**the_wildthing** · September 2nd, 2004 06:24 PM

I would like to invite the tsikot experts to present arguments for or against this product. I think we've all enjoyed the discussions on the other products. So here's another one we can either praise or lambast, exhort or debunk, compliment or refute, etc. etc.

www.turbonator.com

Mind you I am not interested in getting one. I just came across it while surfing the 'net and couldn't find an existing topic about it in Tsikot. I am also skeptic about it because although they say they advertise in some car mags, I haven't seen their ads in those that I get a chance to read...

Nah! Its not as fun as having "live prey".

But since we are on the topic...

http://www.turbozet.com/

Turbo Zet' target is to improve RESPONSE of the engine from new idea in science.
Because HP, Torque is deposit power of the engine.
Response is acceleration dynamic power.
So, Increase Response make to be transfer HP & Torque to maximum action power.
This result, Best acceleration dynamic power. GOOD!!!
Saving is about 25% in fuel consumption.
Lean burn AFC target is FUEL SAVING of the engine!
Because Lean burn AFC make to be design for decrease to the fuel pressure.
Saving is up to 30 % in fuel consumption in depending on engine' condition.

eh? That's one "miracle" that's come and gone... di ba patay na yun turbozet? Nothing new to lambast?

nothing locally but the website has a couple of new "gadgets" from the makers from the original turbozet.

up to 35 hp?

**niky** · September 3rd, 2004 10:38 AM

eh... halos di nagbago ang website nila... they're still using the same crappy pages that they had three years ago...

whoa... they have an AFC? I don't think I'd trust any of those made in Korea...

AH! so kaparehas ng Ramflow with out moving.
di ako yata ako agree sa product nila. more part you put on more part will need to be look after.

siguro naman nakakadagdag sya ng performance ilang psi kaya ang ginagawa nito?

**yebo** · September 3rd, 2004 03:01 PM

this is an example of what they call "computer fan" turbocharger hahahaha! may nagbebenta nga nyan dun sa kabila dati e. nakatikim ako ng maraming mura nung sabihin ko na P100 lang ang computer fan sa raon nyahahahaha!

n 50 watts axial fan will probably increase the intake manifold pressure by about 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 001 psi! nyahahaha!

**niky** · September 4th, 2004 02:00 AM

di naman... siguro .01 psi at idle, at NEGATIVE .05 at full throttle... nagiging drag na sya... :P

**Poops** · September 5th, 2004 12:39 AM

Are we talking .01 psi reading or incremental increase? For what is normally vacuum and actually drive it to positive pressure is actually impressive..from past discussions, I think the price/performance was the issue but not performance perse.
2 cents worth...

**niky** · September 5th, 2004 02:34 AM

Price/Performance, it would be more worth it to get a Simota...

I was just joking about the 0.01 psi!... the problem is, the fan may actually push positive pressure into the engine at idle, making it FEEL more responsive, but past idle, it will be the vacuum turning the fan, NOT the electric motor... so in effect, the fan will be a DRAG on power at any engine speeds higher than idle.

**dbulido** · September 5th, 2004 08:15 AM

I dont believe that turbonator thing! Better get the real SUPER CHARGER.

**iqaruzz** · September 6th, 2004 08:24 AM

kapag ganyan lang kababa ang pressure aksaya lang. pupuwede kong i mount sa dashboard ko nakatapat sa akin at least ako ang presko.

I prefer ramflow, parang ibudo sya naka tututok sa intake mo. kapag 100km/h ang takbo you get about 3psi with out moving parts.

katulad ng croydon left lights.

let's try an experiment. get an electric fan (yes, your old "bentilador"), put it in front of a cardboard box big enough to cover the fan diamenter. seal off the space between the fan guards and the box with duct tape. now get a 2 meter long transparent plastic hose, fill 3/4 of it with water then connect 1 end to a hole on the box with tape. let the hose hang so that it is in the shape of a "U". that is your U-tube manometer.

now run the fan. take note of the difference in water level in the U-tube. convert that from inches water to psi. (32 ft water = 14.7 psi)

now check the fan from your computer. compare the size with your bentilador and you will get an idea what that little fan can do if tested the same way.

0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000001 psi i think is a near enough estimate for that turbonator!

I think the turbonator doesn't even move. It's supposed to make the incoming air spin by just going through the curved blades. What good would that do? Hehe.

The Turbonator™ is a non-moving vortex generator that goes inside your air intake hose, right after your air filter.

The "turbonator" device is supposed to create a tornado effect to the air passing thru it. This "rotating air" then mixes with the fuel better than if the air was flowing straight giving better combustion. That's the theory anyway.
