bought this vortex plastic gizmo for my truck - I'll save 100Kms per tank (60miles?) on a 2000 Xterra and it do notice I have more jam at the pedal - but the guy discovered the fuel savings thing as a side line to finding more power for a carbed corvette dragster
this 10 cents worth of plastic (mine was $80 Canadian) sits in the air intake between the filter and top end of the motor - but the bloddy thing works - I'll get my money back in 3 fillups I have PMO's on an early 911 and I am thinking about buying 6 of these things anyway more of a comment than anything - with the price of gas these days... josh |

send inside diameters of either the intake hose or carb stacks and I'll call these jokers - I'll get'm
couple things... -I have nothing to do with company in any way -this thing does'nt spin - its a stationary twisted shape -throttle attitude by the driver is key point! - PERHAPS subconciously maybe I might have been a little easy on the go pedal - next fill up I am going to over compensate to remove this factor - good point and something I thought about -what are some of you guys scared of? Breakthroughs happen all the time, maybe the dude who thought of this has 50 years in a F1 R&D lab - probably not but the guys probably not retard either. If I consistantly shaved a 10th off a lap time because I wore I green sock and one blue - I would search for a reason but in the mean time I would continue to wear the stupid socks PM me an address to fedex a gizmo - if these fuel genie bitches will not pony up I'll send one (out of pocket) for an FI car - if somone wants to dyno it josh |

QUOTE(motorpants @ May 21 2006, 09:51 AM)  -this thing does'nt spin - its a stationary twisted shape It doesn't have to move to create turbulence since the air itself is already moving. Any obstruction in the flow path will introduce turbulence. The obstruction does not have to reduce flow itself, but will add some resistance at least. Various methods of introducing turbulence are used in high performance heat exchangers to improve the coefficent of heat transfer. To say that this would screw up the air fuel mixture is incorrect. The fuel is metered according to the volume or mass of the air flow along with other methods with either carbs or FI. Better fuel economy would come from a more efficient burn and greater power at lower RPM. I'm not saying that this device delivers on it's promise, I'm only trying to put a bit of science into this thread. I'm a hype buster along with everyone else. |
