Default scratch the turbonator


I found the info I wanted to find and have decided to scratch the
turbonator from my list of miata add-ons. Thanks for the help.

I'm glad you came to your senses! The way such devices seem to work is to
improve gas milage by reducing airflow, thus reducing fuel flow/usage.

Actually I ran across a forum where the topic was hot and a variety of
cars were talked about except the miata....I think I'll remove the
2002 and replace it with a club spec 2006 in Feb if I can find one
that is marble white and bare to the bone.

Years ago, I managed to get involved in a little "off the cuff" air flow
research. We were building cooling fixtures for electronic modules used by
the military on various combat aircraft.

Flow control devices were used to increase the airflow by making it more
"linear" instead of rolling through piping.
This is the opposite of what the "turbonator" is advertised to do.

Actually, I doubt they do work. Until somebody provides some
real evidence that they do work, speculating on the mechanism
is pointless.
