Just saw this link wondering if anyone has this?

http://www.turbonator.com/index.html?id=adWordsMitsubishi

Is it true that it'l give upto 35 more horsepower?

n will it suit a TR?

hehe, you see so many of those on ebay and the like. it may give u that power. funny to see for how long tho, i'm venturing the fan would blow up and enter your engine and really screw ya up.
be fun to stick on a wreck and give it hell to see how well they work tho. lol

hmm my cars a wreck perhaps I shall get 1?

any1 on ere used it or know of anyone whose used it?

they do nothing, if anything they loose you power as by sticking one in your air intake, it significantly reduces the amount of air that your engine can suck in.

y wud they lie tho?

y wud they lie tho?

dah.. to make money! its a scam mate

y wud they lie tho?
LOL!
I take it you dont know anyone who is a salesman :P
It's all about the $$$\

As for the turbonator, all i see it doing is speeding up the air intake, but choking the engine at the same time. Maybe if you calculated how much air you need opposed to how much you are getting with this thing, and then ran a dual/quad system :doubt: .

It's unlikely this unit would make enough positive pressure to make any difference....unless of course you're using it in conjunction with a flux capacitor :bowrofl:

well, whats some mods I can do to speed up my Magna? preferebly cheapo ones.

does about as much as the infamous HDT engergy polarizor.. that being precisely nothing

one thing you need to learn.. theres no such thing as cheapo mods.. if you want increased performance you have to spend the money

the car aint worth it, its been *** around too much.

I think i've seen similar threads about this a few months ago. Anyway autospeed has an article about a similar device clicky (http://autospeed.drive.com.au/cms/A_0237/article.html?popularArticle)

the conclusion they draw is pretty obvious when you think about it. 35HP for less than $100:doubt:

yeah man i put one on too. like...it only took a few minutes to install and like the box said, it gave me 35hp straight up!!

i drove it out and it sounded like a V8...fully. then there was this fool in a evo7 next to me at the lights, and wound down the window and said i'd fully take him on in my excel coz i had this thing in.

yeah, turns out i didn't have a good start..he got me off the line and i never caught up. but htats ok, the turbonator is still trying to 'wear in' uno man. next time i could get him...just wait till next week.

"Before we look at the Twin Turbo Zet electronic supercharger, let's spend a bit of time looking at the concept of supercharging.

Boost

An engine inhales air that - when mixed with petrol - is combusted inside the engine. The greater the mass of air that the engine can inhale, the higher the pressures that will result from this combustion. Higher pressures result in more force on the piston during the power stroke, giving more torque output at the crankshaft. And a higher torque at a given rpm equals more power.

So that explains the impact of having more combustion pressure during the power stroke - but what about the other three strokes? Prior to the power stroke is the compression stroke, and prior to that again, is the intake stroke. On the intake stroke, the piston descends, creating a lower pressure than atmospheric. The pressure of the air outside of the cylinder is higher than the pressure in the cylinder, so air flows into the cylinder. And as we've already seen, the greater the amount of air that flows in, the higher will be the combustion pressures a few strokes later.


(http://us1.webpublications.com.au/static/images/articles/i2/0237_2mg.jpg)
The amount of air that flows into the cylinder, compared with the cylinder volume, is called the engine's breathing - or volumetric - efficiency. In a 3 litre six cylinder engine, each cylinder has a swept volume of 500cc. If the cylinder breathes in only 400cc on the intake stroke, the engine is said to have an 80 per cent volumetric efficiency (ie 400/500 = 0.8 or 80 per cent). Volumetric efficiency will depend on lots of factors (including how well the ports flow), but let's say that the VE of the example engine is in fact 80 per cent. If this 3 litre engine is revving at 6000 rpm full throttle, this means that it inhales 7200 litres of air per minute (remember, one intake stroke per two rpm), or 120 litres per second. To put it in different units, each minute this engine consumes 254 cubic feet of air. To put that into context, a little 60mm diameter PC cooling fan flows only about 18 cubic feet per minute. So, just to flow the amount of air that this naturally aspirated, 3 litre engine needs, you'd need an array of fourteen 60mm fans working flat-out. And that's without creating any boost at all....

Talking about boost, how can we improve an engine's VE? One way is to actively force the air into the engine, pushing it in with more than atmospheric pressure. If you shove in more air than the engine can consume, a boost pressure is developed. When the engine is being fed boosted air, VE can rise to 120 or 150 or even 200 per cent. And that spells good increases in power!"

so u really hav one of these :doubt:

lol i read all that, i meant i wanted someone to paste the whole article :P.

lol sorry, my bad. I used to have a copy of the full article, but can't find it now unfortunatley:cry: maybe someone has a subscription to autospeed and can enlighten us

Turbonator is just like a hiclone. I tried one out on my non-turbo TR wagon becuase of their 30 day money back guarantee. I dont think it did much for horsepower but they are mainly designed for economy. I didnt notice that either because I dont drive economically. They work well in other cars but not with a 4G54.

why would you want one of these they dont make turbo noises :doubt:

well they're more like super charger

has anyone actually installed one and comment about it???

well they're more like super charger

No they're not. It doesn't spin or compress air. It just sits in the intake.
