Yea it would be cool to see, i want to try it on the wifes suv first. She drives 400 miles in 5 days and im thinking im going to stick it on there for a week and see if it gets any better. After that if you want i will send it to ya.

 

Roger that !

But - do you have any idea how long it took me to finally talk him out of using that dang Sphincter intake?

KRC - all I can say is - if it works for you, go for it!


MGD

 

i GUESS you were right about the intake

 

Anxiously awaiting the newest data!

Looks like you weren't beaten up too badly....yet!

 

OK guys, Made another trip up to abilene today 204 mile round trip. Put the tornado back on the truck from the last trip and here is what i got. Ive never had my gas gauge show as good as today.

This first Pic 100 miles and it just got of the Full Mark


Pic 2 176 miles on 3/4 tank



Pic 3 cruising at 73 mph and it stayed steady at 21 mpg



Pic 4 What the odo showed when stopped at the gas station


Pic 5 Truck totally full and held 10.4 gallons


My calcualtions 19.7 mpg

Made the same trip 3 days ago without the tornado on and got 18mpg. This will be my last update, to me it works pretty well. Y'all have a good one

 

Is this true ? I purchased one about 5 years ago. I remember it was like $50, but never used it. I searched this site and it was said to be a gimmick. I wish I new what cruising Rpms you were at. (?)

 

Yes sir it is ture as far as my truck goes, cruising about 73-75 its turning about 2150 to 2200 rpm

 

Ok, I see what's happening. It's only 75 miles from San Angelo to Abilene. A round trip would br 150. Add 10 miles fro running around Abiles. YOu can cross town 4 times in 10 miles. That would be only 160 miles, so your odemeter is off!

 

Nice try Now the real story
http://www.mapquest.com/mq/3-hxH5ulwaQbyu
Its 90 miles from Angelo city limits to abilene, we live 10 miles south of Angelo so about 100 miles one way. Only went to Famous Daves BBQ (AWESOME BBQ) and back to angelo

 

That's a long way for some BBQ...

 

Yea, my brother in law came to abilene to do some dove hunting so we decided to meet him there for lunch.

 

Oh Nice...

And I was actually curious about the Tornado.. but they aren't even available for the 5.4 for 2005's at least...

 

guys dont buy this crap. If this stupid design worked and made cars more efficient and powerfull, wouldnt you expect to see it engineered into cars from the factory? I am not saying anyone is lying, but my brother put one in his f150 and noticed no change in anything after a few months he threw it in the trash. This tornado has been around for years, over 5, if it worked, by know someone would have solid proof and testing, but you dont here chit about these things.

VORTEX GENERATORS

These devices, which are usually installed on the upstream side of the mass airflow (MAF) sensor, use stationary vanes or, on some devices, spinning blades to make the inlet air between the air cleaner and intake manifold whirl around in a mini-tornado. This vortex supposedly mixes fuel more thoroughly with air, which means the fuel will, theoretically, burn more completely in the combustion chamber. Trouble is, there's a lot of intake tract downstream from these devices designed to maximize a smooth airflow. Turbulence, coupled with the restricted airflow caused by the device, can only reduce the amount of air sucked into the manifold. Less air means less power.

Again, we tested two devices. The TornadoFuelSaver is a nicely made stainless steel contraption, available in an assortment of sizes to fit most vehicles. We installed it on our truck's intake tract immediately upstream of the MAF sensor. We purchased the second device, the Intake Twister, on eBay. It was crudely handmade from sheet-aluminum flashing and pop rivets. It looked like something we could make in about 10 minutes from an old soda can. The staff at UTI was reluctant to install it: The bent sheetmetal vanes looked as if they might break off and be digested by the engine. The device is one-size-fits-all, and is simply bent into a curl to insert it into the intake duct.

THE DYNO SAYS: Both devices reduced peak horsepower by more than 10 percent. The Intake Twister increased fuel consumption by about 20 percent; the TornadoFuelSaver provided no significant change.
