It's possible that this device will increase hp. The concept is pretty simple: increase turbulance of air flow before entering the combustion chambering to enhance the "mixing" or air and fuel. In fact, Nissan put a similar device on the Skyline to increase HP in a much more sophisticated form however.

Thank you.

That's what i'm saying.. I don't know anything about this product and of course TV can do this thing can do alot. If it really increases 5-10 hp, i don't think it is a bad deal..


Of course, it may not do a thing... who knows?

Do a search...it helps in absolutely NO way, and there is a good possibility it will actually DECREASE HP due to a decreased airflow. How these types of businesses manage to survive so long without prosecution is beyond me...

Why doesn't someone e-mail them and get them to say the guarantee at least a 4hp increase, buy one, put it on, dyno it, then sue when you don't get any increase whatsoever? That's about as clear cut a case of false advertising as I can think of.

Then when you're dynoing it, make sure you put on a VAFC, and tell them you tried a bunch of different A/F combinations, and that you have to be reimbursed for all the dyno time. :-)

Or even better, the AEM EMS...
