Zinc alloyed metal aka pot metal which is the shittiest kind of metal you can use for anything. So brittle it breaks by looking at it funny, and when it does you can't do anything about it. Yay bent valves from cramming chunks of metal in the intake. ------- monkey metal cheap ----, I hate pot metal.

DUAL FAN DESIGN

Re: homemade turbo kits are a thing of the past
 
Looks like it would be the same concept and roughly the same horsepower as a turbo. Just without the stupid ---- like piping, intercooler, management, injectors. Buy it now 24.00?? Im getting two. See you on the track!

Uhhh am I just seeing the picture wrong or do the fans face opposite directions? Looks pretty counterproductive to me.

I like how they say "zinc alloy" like it's some awesome metal. Oh, and the jet design!

Yeah except he installed his incorrectly and as a result he keeps destroying transmissions.

These things are nothing to be trifled with. Serious ----.

Just specify the Northern hemisphere model in your order and the blades will face the other way. Aint that right JD :X

Get it now??? Coriolis effect as nothing to do with TURBULENCE in the water... Simple High school Physics..... I could regurgitate the wikipedia definition, but figured that pictures are better for special cases...



VIDEOs are even better.....

Thanks for pointing that out!!! I may have ordered the wrong version. I believe the coriolis effect has something to do with gravitational pull depending on which side of the equator you are on.

Does anyone know what the A/R or stage wheel these things come standard with??

Dude I got one of those beefy cheesy melts from Taco Bell. It was pretty good till I hit the damn rice. WTF? No where in the commercial does it say they stuff the nog with rice. It specifically says cheesy beefy melt.

Re: homemade turbo kits are a thing of the past
 
the thing that cracks me up with these things are the add 20 hp and increase gas mileage. last time I checked anything that adds power decreases gas mileage.

Yeah, I have a relative that has his de-riced. Rice is for asia.

It was good, but was more of a cheesey melt with beef than anything (was in wisconsin, the cheese-nog state, maybe different here). SO MUCH ------- CHEESE with a little beef.

Wisconsin is not the cheese-nog state, New York is. Wisconsin has a lot in common with Idaho - they both ran a good advertising campaign.

Eh, there's a shitton of cheeeeese in WI, althought I've never been to New York nor have I done in depth research on the quantities in both states.

However, I did bring back a ton of brats from WI. How's NY with the brat department? Cuz dey pwn, and every day there's at least one place fryin up some "not off the shelf at walmart" brats, only the real stuff.
