interesting concept on even nitrous distrobution... - Honda Prelude Forum

tastyratz · 03-20-2003, 07:49 PM

for those with a bit o' juice injected into your intake:
has anyone ever though of those stupid useless tornado addons for your intake? i know that they dont do anything for performance normally. but they swirl the air in the intake, which normally would do nothing, but wouldnt that help mix the good stuff with the air? anyone ever try this?

Maybe, but I kinda doubt it.

I dont think it would make that bi of a difference... and I for damn shure wouldnt want that piece of tin possibly breaking apart and going into my engine.. I have heard horror stroies... besides.. anything lower than a 70 shot you shouldnt have to worry abotu distribution problems.. its the higher shots that you need to look out for.. and when you get that high.. you either go wet or DP ...

1000 psi n20 would only be hindered by that piece of junk

i have one. it came in a stock intake i bought from someone on the board. for $100 i will dyno it with a 50 and 65 shot pill (with and w/o the tornado) to determine if it helps at all....

almost forgot--

i don't think there will be any difference- it will probably only hurt things.

its not about making a difference in performance, i mean in safety. so you dont get more juice in one cylinder than another. it makes sense dont it? it mixes the intake charge, regardless of whether or not it doesn anything else, i would think it would make it safer.

A fogger nozzle does all the mixing you need, the tornado doesnt affect intake manifold dispursion

ZMonkey11 · 03-21-2003, 10:42 AM

And the nitrous is still gonna hit the first cylinder first, and combust. Therefore, theo nly way for even distribution is direct port.

MJShelgosh · 03-21-2003, 10:17 PM

If someone is that concerned with distribution on a dry kit.. they can simply move the injector further from the throttle body... so it has more time to mix with the air... but most dry kits dont have a high enough shot to require this. and as mentioned above.. the wet and DP kits take care of distribution issues... that is their advantage...

tastyratz · 03-21-2003, 10:30 PM

you have valid points, but theres no disadvantage to mixing better.......

big blue h22 · 03-23-2003, 10:51 PM

but how far are you willing to take the 'mixing better' idea, they are saying is it worth it to risk the chance of it breaking off in your engine, therefor causing an even more unsafter hazard, its a good thought really, but I myself wouldn't do it, just voicing my opinion.

tastyratz, I'll sell you the tornado i have in my extra oem intake for $20 shipped. that's a $40 savings on the regular price! you can then try it on the dyno with an egt and wideband and tell us if you get anymore power, more even cylinder EGTs or a better A/F ratio.

tastyratz · 03-24-2003, 07:00 AM

im not even juicin yet, i just thought it was maybe a good idea.

MJShelgosh · 03-25-2003, 04:00 AM

It's all good... but I have just heard bad things about that thing.. not just on this board... do a search... from what I hear across the board.... there is no gain at all with that thing... especially if you have a CAI ( dont ask me why ) but I have not seen proof... so it's all hearsay... but I wouldn't waste my money on it... especially if you plan to put the that thing behind the pills or jets.. the pressure from the Nitrous would blow that thing to pieces!!

I think it would be neglible. I think the only way to make a single fogger kit safer in terms of distribution, is to move the nozzle as far away from the throttle body as possible. But it is a tradeoff, the farther you move the nozzle away, the less of a cooling effect you get. In the end, with a single fogger, don't get greedy with a big shot, anything over a 75 make sure you go direct port.
