Hey guys i DIY this, keke sorry for bringing up old topics. Here is the pic!

When i first install this , which i dono installed correct or not,my car's induction sound (air sucking sound vroommmm)sounds louder, dono y, anyone care to explain? The car is more smoother now compare to last time, dono its physiological or what! Should i DIY a second one? if i do second one where should i put it? From the pictures u can see im using OEM air box wira efi!

Usually ppl install after the filter element! Check where is ur filter and install right after it! /good

thx bro...will look further in the air box :_:

wow. 2 yrs topic still can bring up to discuss.. not bad. sweet!.

just to update, took out my 'air twister', not using it anymore,
considering the speed of the air flow going into the air ram,
i reckon it won't create a so call effective 'twist', but instead
it will create turbulence and mix the air (if that's what this diy item intend to do)

i think the logic is the same as the design apply to center bullet.to make the air move faster

this surbo thingy vr much depends on how u fix it lar... if u fixed it wrongly, no effect + restriction lor... if fixed correctly, got abit effect lor..

so, mayb i fixed it wrongly... haha... never bother to recorrect it...lazy la....

Hehe new update, =p this device save fuel oh! I think is because i got an oversize i mean really oversize throttle body, now i added this thing the air is much more restricted i think, so i summerise that less air = save fuel. but dono y throttle response is much better! :X-:

I have a suggestion for easy way to get spoiled pc fan, just post a tread for require it at "all others stuff" in "the marketplace", u should can get many2 spoiled fan, haha, lol.

Guys.......

Thanks for this briliant & great Idea!
I used PVC to make the air twister, and after fix the air suction sound become more louder, fast pick-up and Higher RPM.
I like it!

Using the fan will restrict air to your intake!!!

this "swirling air" method is meant for CARB engine cars. it is because, the fuel is not sprayed into tiny mists in a carb system. So the swirling air helps to stir up the unfine fuel.

Fuel injection not really give effect. another way to make it is by using aluminium tin can (carbonated drinks) and cut it something like below:

The important thing is to make center area not restricted. the swirl of air should be made at the wall of air intake. Bernoulli principle indicates that the air near the wall will be slower since dragging due to restriction of air-solid. So the fin will make the side go faster by swirling it.

Oh ya.. one more thing.. the most effective is to place it AFTER air filter.
