Vortex Exhausts

Has anyone had any experience of these ? Apparently they work like a Dyson and suck the gasses out .
Claims on the website are far reaching and I am quite interested........

Yes , but you haven't answered my question. Some people dismissed the internal combustion engine and wanted to keep their horses !Big Daddy wrote:To quote: "Compared to any other performance exhaust systems a Vortex® raceflo exhaust delivers more power and more torque!

Re: Vortex Exhausts
They probably cpme under the same category as those electric turbo fans ...

Re: Vortex Exhausts
Steven - I have no experience of Vortex exhausts so cannot answer your question. They might be the answer to significantly more power, torque and fuel economy with much reduced emissions and carbon footprint. They might even save the planet and prevent WW3 but...

I think to get the most out of it you need the stage 2 package with the power resistor of justice

Re: Vortex Exhausts
I believe Dr Who is behind this and he has the worlds supply of the special crystals that you have to add to the fuel - and this then also allows time travel.

I'll try to be constructive and put some facts on the table...Big Daddy wrote:http://www.vortexexhausttechnology.com/ ... index.html
Vortex Exhaust's "Technology" (ref link above) is external tuning which is well known approach. It means optimising inlet, exhaust and engine management systems towards specific goals (eg AFR set to max power or best fuel economy). We've taken this approach on Evo2 although changes go further than Vortex.
Torque increase was 12% with initial power increase of 18%. A few tweaks have since improved power by another 2%. This 20% increase is typical for a modern 4-valve engine when changes include removing the catalyst (externally tuned 150hp 2.0L Duratec will achieve about 180hp).
Unfortunately there are drawbacks. Fuel economy gets worse (BSFC), plus exhaust emissions and drive-by noise fail requirements for modern cars. Fuel economy can be addressed by returning to stoich (with catalyst) or leaner, but then power is lost.
Turbocharged engines offer more scope by increasing boost pressure. Power level can be doubled fairly easily but without extensive mods, a regular turbo engine will soon go bang.

Is that necessarily a recommendation ?
