Rotor Head Extreme
iTrader: (8)
You know I've always wanted to experiment with something like this in a turbo charged car. I don't think it would work if put before the throttle body butterflies (would break up the vortex) but what about after the throttle body? Those smaller inserts look like the perfect size to install in the LIM to swirl the air before it mixes with the fuel. Anyone think this would work?
Edit: If this proves to flow more air, one could install this item in the secondary port of the LIM of the front rotor in the Fd to improve air flow since the rear secondary port flows more air.

It doesn't make the air flow faster, it swirls it around.
I think it basically does the same thing as Vortex engines... except that it doesn't violate the patent on Vortex engines in order to acheive the same effect.
Whether or not this would actually do what they promise (hehe, "0 to 35 HP"... I'm thinking closer to the 0 side.) is the question.
Ps, I already made a thread about this subject...

they do work, but only very slightly. around a 1% gain in MPG, half that in power. for 70 bucks, hell no. for 5, maybe. what it does is atomizes the fuel better by creating a 'spiral' in the intake...menaing that it is slightly higher velocity. probably also heats it up a bit. the vortex effect just barely makes up for the restriction in the intake, so it adds up to almost zero.
