Air intake booster thing

[Rikfrontera]

Has anyone used one of these and are they effective
I wondered about fitting/using one in a homemade snorkel kit somewhere along the pipeline..to boost air whats your views
I found it listed on ebay.

if you fitted that in a snorkel and it spins at up to 60,000rpm and something went down the snorkel it would disintegrate and probably blow the the snorkel apart and the bits go down towards the engine

i think if they were that good the makers would fit them as standard

So its the air that is getting sucked in that makes it spin, it doesnt spin on its own, so it be better not being there.

total watse of time ,money and effort ....

that will do nothing to boost any engine ..........

if it's that good why doesn't the car makers fit it as standard equipment

[Road Hog]

I agree with all the above .

[Rikfrontera]

THATS THAT THEN
ANOTHER EBAY PIECE OF RUBBISH.

THOUGHT IT WAS A COPY SIMILAR TO HICLONE.
REALISED AFTER THAT HICLONE IS A SOLID DEVICE THAT SWIRLS THE AIR IN A SPECIFIC WAY

self perpetuating motion, buy one and sell it to NASA, they would pay a million for it.

Their creation not mine thank god.
Question: Is there much difference in available air when you fit a snorkel? Long way for it to be drawn when didn't have one originally.

fitted my snorkel yesterday and drive the same. Does sound nice on tickover though

[Rikfrontera]

Thats great. Cant wait to get started on that project.

Mine was fully ajustable, facing forward like a safaritop it had more grunt. Facing back less, facing the side about the same. Lost the top a while back so its still backwards for now. (all at higher speeds, no difference at slow)
