DIY Vortex Generator
I’ve been wanting to try this small gadget for ages… I managed to do so a few weeks back… Made up of aluminium sheet, the vortex generator is to be placed in the air intake ram leading to the throttle body… What it does is creating a vortex by swirling the cold air coming thru ram from the air filter box thus making the air more dense… Denser air is good for combustion… Other banefits includes…
- boost performance
- improve fuel economy
- better idling
- de-carbonise your engine
I’ve been using it for about 2 weeks and what i noticed is that the car can reach 120km/h point easily… I dun really have to press the pedal hard like i used to… Overtaking another car is a breeze as i can feel the torque surge immediately after pressing the throttle… Engine idling improved significantly… Long gone are the rattling noise coming out of the dashboard most of the time… But i can’t say much for fuel comsumption though… I think it’s still the same….
