Guest greimann Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 No, send the $$$ to me! Seriously, that is a boat bilge ventilation blower that someone is selling to idiots through hyped up advertising text. There is zero technical merit to any claim of "boost". The dude is even lying about the CFM because they are rated at 170, not 450. See Boat U.S. catalog page below: http://www.boatus-store.com/icatalog/C507.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 haha man parts from a boat al those things are crap such as the "tornado" and stuff but i never bought into those but this one seemed to make the most effort at actually doing something. maybe if he showed some test results such as a dyno sheet or time slips but ya you guys are right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awd92gsx Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 Hey...the 4" model flows over 250cfm!! Wooohooo!! I wonder how that would work on my lawnmower...oh wait...my lawnmower is electric...hmmm.... Now, if you used four of them...that would be over 1000 CFM...

RPMS Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 If it seems to good to be true... I wonder how many unwitting suckers this bastard is going to pull in with his "invention"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim240z Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 Just to add something to the equation: My Dad used those things (3 inch I think) on his brake ducts on the racing car (600hp road racing V8) and said that they did help cool the brakes through the slow twisties (exactly where you would need extra air flow over the calipers/rotors).

Lockjaw Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 Hey just pile your money up on the floor and set it on fire. I sent one of those loosers an email once telling him he ought to be ashamed of himself for taking advantage of people and asking him how he sleeps at night. Got no response. Anytime it is a private auction, be weary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aviatorx Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 His other 'offers' are as beautiful as the head fans.... "This simple mod tricks your cars computer into thinking that colder air is entering the engine. Colder air = more HP. Your engines timing will advance and you should get 20 HP depending on how many mods you already have on your car. This is simple to do. This will not hurt your motor in any way. This works on stock cars and modded cars." Apparently they've worked out a way to make hot air think it's cold! Amazing stuff! And it works on just about any car! Can the cold fusion propulsion kit be far behind? Nice job rooting out yet another Ebay hammerhead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denny411 Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 I`m suprised that nobody on ebay has tried to sell the blower from the valve cover of the zx`s as a turbo. they look at least as convincing as these other pieces of crap. The concept of the "Tornado" would be fine, if it weren`t for all of the obstructions that would disturb the swirling air flow. ex. mass air sensor, throttle plates, intake manifold, and the valves to mention a few.

Guest Anonymous Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 thanks guys when it seems too be good to be true it usually is i feel ashamed to even consider this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denny411 Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 the guy with the auction must be a real ASS. notice that it`s a private auction, probably too many people emailing the buyers telling them how stupid they are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
