Does this really work? Saw it on eBay.
Pls do not flame me if it does not work, just wondering when i was browsing for camry upgrades.

Link to item on eBay

Some ppl who left a feedback says that it works.

Dude you have 715 posts, You should know better.

Do you honestly think for 100 bucks you can get 40 extra hp?

kasimmmmm · 07-09-2005, 11:54 PM

it happens... sometimes what they say is really convincing but its not gonna work. Its

on a stick.

all the feed backs look good, i would have been sucked into it as well, i still don't see why it wouldn't work, it makes sense, a fan helps blow air into your intake right, more air would make more horsepower, right...or i guess im wrong.

im confused lol

Looks funny though.. I'd paint it "chrome" and put in there just to be a poser

LOL! It sounds like a little computer fan or something is in there. Don't waste your money. This crappy thing reminds me of the mindfu$%ing that the "Tornado" did. Hey, why the hell do they always name those things after natural disasters? I can't wait for "Blizzard" and "Tsunami".

that's funny

That is an electrical fan. It will increase the load on the alternator which increase load on the engine. Engine, fan, and alternator are not 100% efficient due to loss from heat, friction, electrical impeadance, etc.

It probably does not have the capability to increase pressure in the combustion chamber by more than perhaps 1PSI. But whatever gains there are at the engine are probably negated by the power required to run the thing.

You can blow 500 CFM of air at into the intake all day long, but if the fan does not seal against the sides, the air will just become turbulent.

LOL...I don'tknow if I'd want a Tsunami in my car...Not until at least I can figure out how to burn water.

It'd sound like you're packin' big power.
Ricer: "What you runnin' under there?"
TouringCamry: "More than you can afford pal, a Tsunami..." (makes splashing sound with mouth)

Super Kaioken · 07-10-2005, 02:07 AM

now if you can compress air....a turbo?
blowing air in...sounds like it would work in theory. but wouldn't it be hot air because that's how those things work...you gotta attach those to air tube.

Lord_Anarchy · 07-10-2005, 02:18 AM

It's not gonna work. A turbo is compressing air through means of an impeller powered by hot exhaust gasses spinning it on the other end. That crappy thing probably couldn't put out 1 PSI without blowing itself up

. In the end, I wouldn't trust that thing in my intake line.

Can you imagine if that thing should fall apart and the engine started ingesting the stuff????

Scary... If anything, assuming it is a crappy fan, it would probably do the reverse of it's supposed effects. Why? It would add an obstruction for the incoming air. Don't buy it.. please don't. If you want to throw away money for no reason, especially that much, you should just fund my KSport coilovers
