Turbonator?
#16
Now if you buy 3 of them and attach them in series to make a "Super Turbonator" you will see 3X the boost. That's 150HP to unleash for the price of seat covers. Plus if you install your NOS in the "Super Turbonator", the HP would just be mind numbing of the hook. Be prepared for some mega serious voltage requirements.
The Turbonator is the most state of the art most bang for the buck performance part to come along since the Tornado throttle body insert. Now if your "Super Turbonator" can provide enough boost then the Tornado can works its cyclonic magic, it would be like F5 tornado wind velocity through your engines pie-hole. I would suggest immediately, not later but now getting stage 12 ported heads, dual ported 64mm throttle body (LT1 only) and machining the combustion chamber for dual spark plugs, just don't use Bosche or you will start running a bit fat. If money starts to get tight you may omit the dual spark plugs in favor of Split-fire spark plugs cause its the exact same thing, I mean it has a forked electrode, DUH.
Also consider some ceramic titanium super alloy oversized valves and high flow straight through catback exhaust. Just remember that F5 tornado wind velocity going in means close to F5 tornado velocity coming out which would shoot the guts out of a chambered muffler, however I will differ to a more experienced person to confirm this.
Curiously I would like to know what would happen if a pair turbonators were installed in place of the exhaust pipe tips at the rear of the car, they would be forcibly pulling spent air out of the engine. I believe that all the installed Turbonators working in conjunction would provide the ultimate boost experience
What I am trying to say is it would cost so much $$$ to beef up the engine for "Super Turbonator" it is just counter productive. A single Turbonator wont provide any more HP gains than a pair of fuzzy dice hanging from the rear view mirror. Do it right or don't do it.
I do think that the Mr. Fusion coupled with the super turbonator and tornado would produce results unlike the automotive world has ever seen. Be warned it could create a resonance cascade scenario that could mean the destruction of our world or a rift in the time continuam..

"which would shoot the guts out of a chambered muffler, however I will differ to a more experienced person to confirm this."
consider it confirmed...happened to me.
it was off the hook.
but i cured the problem by installing some titanium roller muffler bearings...even cut down on my emissions.

When I bought my car a "Tornado" (similar to the "Turbonator") was already installed, I didn't know. I saw it in there one day and didn't really care. Several months later, I took off my intake and found it in there...sideways! I know that couldn't have been good for the flow. I removed it and threw it away. I couldn't tell any difference with it installed or removed. Don't waste your money.

It's plain and simple..... Anything other than air in the induction setup, BECOMES A RESTRICTION! I can believe that You'll get a little bit more throttle response if You punch it off idle, but the turbonator just gets in the way when Your engine is reving higher.

I have seen cars come in with these several times at the dealership. Personally I can't tell any difference with or without it. The point I would like to make thought is GM put lots of money into designing a screen on the MAF to straighten airflow for less turbulence in the intake plenum. This less turbulence equals increase flow of air at lower rpms. So that is my two or twelve cents worth.

I say put the tornado on one exhaust tip and the turbonator on the other tip and make little exhaust smoke cylcones when you go full throttle. That would so pretty. I heard they make also come gold and chrome plated for just pennies on the dollar!!!

i use 3.....and get 100hp boost compared to the base increase from one.
they build off each other....and they help me get 66mpg with my cammed LS1.
i hear GM is looking into taking over the company and using them on all vehicles to get them over the 35mpg-fleet requirements.
