I am thinking this might be a nice way to get a little power for a little less mulla

. This idea of spinning the air that comes throuh the airbox hmmmm

. I am not to into physics but I actually think it might work. Its like a little minime turbo

It also has many other applications. So pretty much universal

rip off. that BS does not work. http://****************.com/smile/emthdown.gif http://****************.com/smile/emthdown.gif http://****************.com/smile/emthdown.gif

are you in need of a bridge? if so my friend welcome to wacky renzo's house of bridges.
The current bridge for sale is the brooklyn bridge. it is rumored that a worker that constructed the bridge was buried in one of the pillars holding up the bridge, BURIED ALIVE!

They are crap!

all these companies are rip offs, anybody that claims 30 hp for anything like this, or better gas mileaege(can't think of the company, but they claim that their product on a M3 was getting 80 mpg...BS!) is complete BS....It doesn't help, it actually hurts air movement...
1. more stuff in the intake tube to get in the way of air flow
2. it turns the air and causes turbulance going into the TB and IM
the MAF has the screen in front for a reason, to keep the air flowing smoothly, don't mess with the air flow unless it is actually forcing air into the engine

Don't ask me what I think of the turbonator or spiralmax. Why, ask the crew of the Space Shuttle Enterprise! They'll describe what it feels like to get blown away by a humble 94 accord TURBONATOR Equipped. Here are the #'s of my dyno sheets.
1994 Accord DX coupe:
Baseline
123 hp @ 5700 rpm
126 ft/lbs @ 4700rpm
TURBONATOR
7,912 hp @ 5500 rpm
10,401 ft/lbs @ 4200 rpm

SIMPLY AMAZING!

Sweet Pearl Harbour! Those are some mighty impressive gains! I'm going to order six... one for each cylinder (or as we say in German, zylinder)...

wasn't there an entire infommercial dedicated to this crap?

Jeez, the guy just asked a question...
Since many of you seem to have the answers, can anyone here explain WHY it doesn't work? Or is it something you all just know?
Perhaps someone could explain flame propagation or what tumble is as opposed to swirl. How about detonation opposed to pre-ignition? Or maybe why you may only want to match port your intake?
Lay off the guy, he was just looking to learn something

Bingo. We all just know this piece of crap does not work.
swirl - 'sw&r(-&)l http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/audio.pl?swirl001.wav=swirl
1 a : to move with an eddying or whirling motion b : to pass in whirling confusion
2 : to have a twist or convolution

tumble - 't&m-b&l http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/audio.pl?tumble01.wav=tumble
1 a : to fall suddenly and helplessly b : to suffer a sudden downfall, overthrow, or defeat c : to decline suddenly and sharply (as in price) : DROP <the stock market tumbled> d : to fall into ruin : COLLAPSE
2 a : to perform gymnastic feats in tumbling b : to turn end over end in falling or flight
3 : to roll over and over, to and fro, or end over end : TOSS
4 : to issue forth hurriedly and confusedly
5 : to come by chance : STUMBLE
6 : to come to understand : CATCH ON <didn't tumble to the seriousness of the problem>
transitive senses
1 : to cause to tumble (as by pushing or toppling)
2 a : to throw together in a confused mass b : RUMPLE, DISORDER
3 : to whirl in a tumbling barrel
-As you can see by matter of fact, swirling is more of a circular "whirling/twisting" motion where as tumbling is rather a constant rolling motion.
preignition - "prE-ig-'ni-sh&n http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/audio.pl?preign01.wavreignition
: ignition in an internal combustion engine while the inlet valve is open or before compression is completed
det·o·na·tion - "de-t&n-'A-sh&n, "de-t&-'nA- http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/audio.pl?detona07.wav=detonation
1 : the action or process of detonating
2 : rapid combustion in an internal combustion engine that results in knocking
-The definitions for these two are fairly self explanitory

I may be wrong but doesn't match-porting the intakes give you better low end torque. As opposed to enlarging the intake ports, which would cause the air to slow on the manifold and intake port causing some of the fuel to fall out of suspension. This causing a lean condition at the lower RPMs and a loss of power. Because keeping air velocity up at the RPM desired is most critical for good hp. Bigger ports - higher RPM's to get more hp?
