Hi all,
does anyone know about these increase bhp mod things i keep seeing on ebay?
they seem pretty cheap but do they actually work? Confused

Which increase bhp mod things are you talking about? Do you have a link to an auction or more of a description?
Are you talking about those static vortex generator things that you put in the engine's air intake tract after the air filter, and the cunning vortex they create claims to add more horsepower per dollar than a turbocharger/supercharger?

Their crap, just a resistor that makes the car think it's running cold so advances the ignition. Not Advisable

vortex generator? I am not sure what that. Question

Some friends here who drive 156 1.8 and ss installed eletronic fans into the air track, they said it really works. Rolling Eyes

Where would you put that in a series 1 or 2 Alfa 33?

If it was that easy and cheap, don't you think that all the manufacturers, who spend MILLIONS making their engines more powerful and efficient, put one in?

Sorry, guys, extra BHP comes with a bigger capacity engine, hard work and different engine parts, or a turbo / supercharger and ALWAYS money.
