Tornado KI-75

JohnnyDingills · Posted: Wed Apr 07, 2004 12:06 am Post subject: Tornado KI-75

Hey guys, my question is to those that have this product. The Tornado KI-75. It's an object you stick in your air intake hose and it creates a mini tornado inside your intake hose... supposidly adds more HP and better gas miliage (maybe 1 or 2mpg). I've seen it on t.v. i've seen it online but before i buy it i was just wondering if anyone has it and what they think of it. Even if you don't have it i would like to hear your thoughts. look it up on google if you haven't heard of it.

if u buy that tornado thing I will rip off the acura emblem on my car faster then u can say t-o-r-n-a-d-o!

Its a piece of JUNK! Think about it, if it was that good they would put em in from the factory!

superchargers and turbo's are that good but you don't see them installed or set as an option from factory. People buy aftermarket parts all the time, just cuz it's not installed from factory doesn't mean it's no good. The physics of the device makes sense my question was, is it a noticible difference?

A friend of mine noticed a difference when he installed it on his VW GTI VR6. U're right the physics behind it make sense. It might be worth it, but don't take my word for i don't know how well it will work on an Honda engine. If you get it, let me know how it works out.

if u guys think that the tornado thing is worth it then I am ashamed to say i own a import cause retards like u are the reason we get a bad rap!

I donno where you come from but there is no bad rep for imports here. it's only a $20 piece, so i'm sorry if you can't afford to spend $20 to see if something is worth it, but the physics seems to make sense and the dyno even proves it. So your word vs. the dyno, not even a retard would take your word for it. If imports have such a bad rep in your town go buy domestic, drive 50k miles after you get your focus then see if you want to go back to jap. Be my guest and even try out a german car but since they are not as fast for the money and you seem to be too cheap to try things you might not even go that way. You don't even deserve to have an Integra if you don't try things on it. homo's like you drive VW beatles...go get one.

first off I love my integra, all I'm saying is have u seen dyno numbers from people in person or hav eu seen them on the commercial?

oh and ok i could get a beetle, put about 2k in it and lets see who rolls who!

Haha dude are you kidding me?? don't you read any articles? First off any vw just sucks. their engines are not power efficient at all and they have many electrical problems. second... didn't you see the article in road and track where they took a beatle, bored out the engine, put a turbo in it, took out the back seats to make it lighter and put racing tires on it. That vs. a stock RSX Type-S. The RSX won despite the upgrades done to the beatle. I've killed vw 1.8T's with my GSR and i don't even have turbo. the sad thing is the 1.8T produces 170HP and my 1.8 natural inspired engine produces 180 without turbo. Once i get my turbo this summber i'll be up around 280s. Anwyay i think it's funny how you would buy a beatle and drop 2 grand but you bad mouth and won't drop 20 bucks for something that has proven to slightly increase hp.

i was making a point about the beetle, integra's are not unbeatable!

and if ur teg is stock then it has 170 hp!...oh wait lemme guess u got a special one from the factory that had 180hp?

in regards to the article u r talking about, well whipty f###ing doo!! that doesnt prove shit, the rsx type S is faster then a GSR so where u going with that?

all i was saying is why waste money on something u havent seen proven figures on? sure its only 20 bucks , but its the whole point of it all, if im gonna buy a s/c system im gonna research and see what works best with what!

A friend of mine from work knows how to make them and give em away for free. I don't have one yet because he said he's outta those metal sheets. anywho, he said you'll notice a difference but not much. But it does save on gas so for 20 bucks. you'll save in the long run. He said he's gonna put them in his headers once he get more metal, something like that. I don't know much about it, just telling what I know.

That's awesome that he can make them... he should sell them on ebay for $20 a piece becuase right now the real ones are selling on ebay for about $40. If you could just keep me posted on after you put one in if you do actually save gas. Right now i'm more wondering if it will actually save gas rather than HP.
I just don't see how the swirl of air created by this device can be maintained all the way down the intake pipe and after the throttle body, and into the combustion chamber.

Also you said your friend is going to put them in his headers.... what's the point of that?

same reason as putting it in your intake, to block flow of course!!

okay my friend explained to me why this device would in fact get you some better mileage.
when air is traveling town the intake pipe towards the throttle body the particles are going nuts bouncing around the pipe. What this device does is causes the particles to enter the throttle body in such a form that it makes the air more dense. and we all know more dense air = better mileage.
