Personal Experience with this anyone?

scam

Junk. It's just a "Tornado" with a small electric fan.

Remember: There are no cheap mods that do any good. Think about it. If something so simple and inexpensive could really improve horsepower or mileage as much as it is claimed, don't you think the manufacturer would have designed it into the engine from the factory?

the search function is wonderful , of the 5 plus years ive been here on and off , its been asked like 20 times , and at one time was a sticky.


LEAVE THEM ALONE!!!!!!!!!!

Supercharger Turbo PSI Boost.

werd.

I agree.

Just a random question, no hostility needed.

Cyberbilly is right, but i think manufacturers do need to keep cost down a bit, so adding unnecessary horsepower increasing technology isn't exactly money making.

Do you concur?

Not necessarily.

Remember that auto manufacturers are first and formost a business. And the purpose of a business is to make money for it's owners. It is a pretty well-established fact that numbers sell. If there are two otherwise identical cars and one gets better mileage or has more horsepower than the other, then the one with the better mileage/horsepower is going to be the one people buy.

It isn't always what you sell; it's how you market it.

you should try the electronic chip they sell on ebay also. heard those do wonders.

You should try the turbo sound clip that attaches to your exhaust I heard those give like 150 Naturally Aspirated, ass-raping Horsepower, BAAKAA.

hmm, a little feisty, are we?

I did a little research into increasing the performance on my Tundra, so I decided to do a little bit of eBay surfing using the key words "Toyota Tundra." I discovered that for less than $500, I can significantly increase my Tundra’s horsepower and gas mileage using readily available and inexpensive eBay merchandise.

The seven most interesting things I found are listed below.

Starting with baseline numbers of 245 HP for a stock 1-gen Toyota Tundra with the 4.7L V8, and guesstimating 19mpg Highway (YMMV) I came up with the following. Please understand that I am assuming Best Case Scenarios, and your results may differ slightly.

First, by installing a magnet that connects around your fuel line (no clamps necessary) that promises 10% more Horsepower and 15% mileage, you can bring your Tundra up to 269.6 HP and increase your mileage up to 21.85 mpg. All for only $10.95.

Now, if you add something called "Chip Module Mod" that is good for 35% more Horsepower, and combine it with the fuel line magnet listed above, you can increase your HP to 363.8. This little device will set you back $15.98.

Next, add a "Vortex Generator" that installs in your intake. This, along with a "Gas Line Ionizer" (they come together in a kit), will give you an extra 35 horsepower and increase your mileage up to 46%. A bargain at $25.95. Now your stock Tundra, is up to 398.9 horses at 32 mpg! Can you believe it? We’re in Yaris territory now!

Then there is the mysterious "Intake Mod ECU". The description is a little short on details, but what the hell, it means an additional 25 ponies for only $5.99. You can’t beat that with a stick! Now my measely 4.7 litres are puttin’ out horsepower of about 423 and change.

But let’s not forget the all-time favorite Throttle Body Helix spacer. A little pricey at $81.15, but still cheaper than a Supercharger. It's good for another 22 horsies, though only a 4 mpg mileage increase. But we’ll take what we can get: So we are at 446HP and 36mpg.

Don’t forget the "Ground Wire Voltage Stabilizer" $26.99 + $20 shipping buys you another 8 mules. Running Tally: 454 Cowboy Crotch Rockets under that nondescript hood.

And the Piece de Resistance, the venerable K&N Intake good for another 26 HP. A steal at $242.95 or $9.34 a horse.

So, for a mere $429.96 I can have my off-the-shelf Tundra cranking out 480 Clydesdales while getting the mileage of a Prius!! Who needs a Corolla when you can have one of these?

And it's gotta be PURDY !!!!

nice!!!!

the only electric supercharger ive seen that works is this one,

h@@p://www.boosthead.com/product.php

and its not such a great deal since its like shots of nitrous and runs out off batteries.

LMAO great write up! I think the mods should sticky this in the new member introduction section. That would get rid of alot of 1 poster noobs looking for cheap horsepower

i finally got bored enough to read this post. i just kept skipping it but everyday someone else is adding a post so i decided to contribute.

It just reminds me of a large deformed hair dryer.

haha, very funny. Not being sarcastic either.

it might be worth it for a go kart... wait no it has no battery.

Hey chafita, is that corolla in your sig turboed?

I bought one for my minibike project I am working on. It will have a b&s 5HP with fuel pump (will not work on feed carb it will just blow the fuel back) and I will run it with a rechargable LIPO pack hidden under the seat with a manual switch.. It is actually a bosch 12V 670CFM heater blower unit (I have the compressor map for it somewhere) from a european car. Let me knock the Rolla' project out of the way and I will jump on this lol and tell you the results.

rubbish

no , why?


and


OMG!! this thread is still alive?

^^^sure why not,its not that old

no . just the fact the questions been answered (for the 20th time) . there is no cheap hp , so either spend the money if you want it , or leave it alone.

I was asking because i see an intercooler looking thingy and aftermarket pipes. What are those in the lower vent of the corolla?

I actually saw a car that had an Intercooled Air intake at Koatic. I thought it was pretty gay at first(it was a pink show car), but it's a good idea if you are doing Naturally Aspirated. It had a Cone Filter on one end of the Intercooler and Aluminum pipes going to the intake Manifold on the other end.

i dont see an intercooler n chafita bumper. . . .he has a world class bumper , a bit different than my us spec , but i dont see an intercooler or anything in his. it doesnt look anything like mine. you could see an intercooler big time , if it was there.

I think i meant to say shubert, haha. Was staring at shubert's corolla this whole time and saying the wrong name, noob. Sorry.
