Markie Posted November 1, 2005 Author Share Posted November 1, 2005 This was something one of the guy in the office is thinking of doing to his V6 Vectra. On their site it says they have seen 10-15 BHP increase with it. Again, I am with you guys on thinking how it would increase performance etc.. Mind blowing I just cant see how it would.

tbourner Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 A powered suction of some kind would, but nowhere near enough gain to outweigh the losses from powering it! Maybe if you had a really badly designed exhaust manifold to start with, lots of random length pipes etc. it might do something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Whiffin Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 I'm actually good friends with the UK distributor for Vortex. We are going to be doing some rolling road tests VERY soon with a standard Supra TT to see what the power gains are. Going to start with a std exhaust then aftermarket exhaust and then the Vortex to see what each one does. From what I've been told they do work, not only more power but better fuel economy. I'll post up the results when I know more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 The car manufacturers must be beating a path to their door! Up to 25% fuel economy increase.... If it works and is patented it'll make someone a fortune. There don't seem to be any independent, accreditted testimonilas though. Couldn't be a load of BS, surely.... ?

Paul Whiffin Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Should have some figures next week with any luck, I'm lending them a car on Monday so they can make a system up and then its off to the rollers, soon find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Power-All vehicles that have the Vortex Performance exhaust fitted benefit from increased power and torque, with better throttle response. The power increase is proven and applies to petrol, diesel and gas fueled vehicles Fuel savings-Up to 25% fuel saving is possible with this technology – most of which is immediate – the remainder increasing over the first 1,000 miles after installation of the Vortex, as the engine and exhaust system become de-carbonised. Emissions-Hydrocarbon particulate, Carbon Monoxide and oxides of Nitrogen emissions drop immediately the Vortex Performance exhaust is fitted. In diesel engines the black smoke particulates are reduced dramatically. Less Carbon build-up-After fitting the Vortex Performance exhaust your engine will burn fuel more efficiently. Over the first 1000 miles of driving the exhaust tail pipe, pistons, and valves will become cleaner as carbon deposits virtually disappear, improving your car’s efficiency Servicing-These costs are reduced. Spark plugs, injector nozzles and valves do not get carbon build up when the Vortex Performance exhaust is fitted. Catalysts will have a longer life and engine oil will remain cleaner and last longer. Increase in torque-Allowing the vehicle to pull better in all gears. This is great for performance cars, 4x4 vehicles and towing. Less exhaust pressure-Once the Vortex exhaust is fitted, there will be a considerable drop in exhaust pressure in front of the Vortex. The manifold temperature will decrease which is particularly beneficial for turbo charged engines. Better heat dissipation-There is better heat dissipation from the engine, which means a decrease in the possibility of localized engine overheating, avoiding piston damage, head gasket failures, shortened valve life and cylinder head cracking, and lower exhaust manifold temperatures. I want to know if it does anything else, I dunno like make me a cup of tea while I drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 How does the 'vortex' actually increase the speed of the air going out though? Surely that's physically impossible? Sucking the air out of the exhaust should theoretically make the engine run more efficiently and therefore increase power/torque/fuel consumption etc., but without a fan or motor or anything I can't see how it does!
