We have 2 throttle bodies so you might be able to figure out a way to install 2 of them thangs. 70 hp!!!! WEEEE!!!! That'd be kewl!

[cowboysfan9]

I might look into doing that, Will a circular air filter make a diffrence or no because its not a Cold air intake

Will the Bose amps work on diffrent 6x9's?Is running 89 octane going to make a diffrence then 91?What is the boot behind the rear wheel because mines torn?

Welcome to NICO!!!

Your car won't run right on Octane 89, always use 91. Over time, you'll wear out your injectors much quicker and you'll get worse mileage. On the J30 Octane 91 isn't an option, its a requirement.

Can someone explain what a "turbonator" is? Thats the first time I've heard that term. If you want some extra horses on the J, get yourself a JWT popcharger, its proven to work.

Its the little stamped out aluminum deal thats supposed to create a vortex.Totally useless on anything except the old Carburetor on top engines.

Oh come on, don't you think two of them would be twice as good?

wait...two of those and that nos kit....we'll all be running like a scalded dog...maybe if we put some vtec and type-r stickers we'll get an additional 20hp per sticker

Hey now ..I got 15 HP just from my two Nico stickers I put on !!

Sounds like the "Tornado" sold up here. Its suppposed to be more of a better mileage device than horsepower. A number of news/consumer affairs shows up here have debunked it as being useless.

We're making fun but in all seriousness, if you just think about how it's supposed to work you can figure out that it won't work.

It's supposed to swirl the air to make it burn better but think about what the air has to pass thru after the "turbonator" before it reaches the combustion chamber. It has the 2 throttle bodies, 2 upper intake manifold runners then the air has to split into 6 individual runners then thru the head and thru the valve opening and THEN finally into the combustion chamber. Just how much "swirl" do you think is going to be left after going thru all that?

If it really did add so much for so little, why don't cars have them on there to begin with? Don't you think that if they did work the auto manufactures, that spend million in R&D, would already be using them?

Just a few things to think about.

Remember, if it sound too good to be true, it probably is.

Dang ..I guess I need to take out the 5Lb magnet I have on my fuel intake line too.

[Defiant]

Turbonator, Tornado, Z-Max, gasoline magnets, fuel line heater, high-pressure tires (spare donuts run at about 75psi ["Tight as snare drums!"]), water vapor injection, PCV jet valve and synthetic oil, and I only have to drain the excess gas buildup from the fuel tank every two weeks. The stuff just appears like magic.

or, not.....
