Question, for my knowledge

[6boltcrank]

newbie question.

What is an eclipse cyclone?

 

[clarson_75]

the only time i've heard of "cyclone" being used with our cars is when people are talking about a cyclone intake manifold. i've never seen one, but it is supposed to have something inside that actuates and improves air flow as the turbo spools, I think.

Its a special itake manifold that did not come on any us cars

Yea its supposed to "spin" the air like a "cyclone" and is "susposed" to increase the air flow. I dont believe it makes much of a difference at all.

Actually they can make quite a bit of difference, at least in the low and mid power bands.

Here is a recent thread with some interesting information about it.
