Turbonator??

I was looking at this product on www.Turbonator.com and i was wondering if this is true. Has anyone ever used this thing, and will the 35 HP be more then what i could get if i was to install a regular cold air intake? Any feedback would be appreciated. Overall i want to get my 1992 Accord Lx to put out 200 HP after a summer's work flipping burgers so im not that limited in my funds, but i have to save and pay for gas and insurance and that great stuff. I was wondering if this is the right way to approach that goal?

Crap, you won't gain anything from that. It may help V8's with gas mileage, but don't think your gonna have a real power change...I'd doubt 1hp. That won't be as effective as an intake and an intake only adds around 5hp at most on an Accord. If you wan't 200 ponies, get a JDM h22 swap and some bolt-on's or boost your current engine.

the turbonator isnt the right way to approach anything, unless youre trying to waste money. look into stuff like a head, exhaust, intake, TB..so on. [8D]

I agree, save your money for things that work.

Do not believe that this product works very well, only know of 3 people who have bought this product and none of the three are happy with it...

RE: Turbonator??

Thanks for the info. Im pretty sure it is an exact knockoff off of the tornado product. Unforturnetly soon i will quit my fast food job, so ill be a little bit tight one cash. But my Accord will eventually become the beast i know she can be. i just recently worked on all the rust holes. lol Now i just have to come up with a name for her. lol

RE: Turbonator??

My father-in-law bought me the Tornado for my 03 Dodge Ram 1500 5.7L Hemi. I didn't see any change in power or mileage. I put a K&N air filter on the truck and really felt a difference in throttle response. I just installed a K&N on my 05 Accord Coupe EX-V6 and I can feel a difference with it.
