I just saw a site callled http://www.turbonator.com

now i dont know wheather to trust putting something like that on my 240sx and i also just seen a pic of it...its pretty bulky...how the hell am i supposed to fit that thing under my hood for crying out loud...

I have a 93' Nissan 240SX SE Coupe 2-door.

The engine has 104,000 miles on it and along the way at 4000 RPM it makes a funny lil noise which does not seem to pose any problem to my car just yet but defenitely needs to be looked into.

Will it hurt my car at this mileage and condition to put this Turbonator on it?....its only 70 Bucks and can give me up to 35 HP!! plus it can bring my overall mileage per gallon down as well....up to 35% better gas mileage.

It's all crap.

There have been numerous threads on NICO about the "turbonator" and DO NOT waste your time or money on one. You will not get better gas mileage, or any more power. In fact, the mods tried to get the ad for it that sometimes shows up on here removed a while back.

Seriously, stay away.

Definitly stay away from that garbage, on the other hand you know the guy who invented that pile of @#$% is sittin pretty about now financially.

We need to come up with something like that. I think I have an old hair dryer we can mock up as a muffler turbo and say it increases the flow through the exhuast allowing the engine to turn faster or something gaining you 50 hp...lol
