Nitrous Oxide

[rocket_ronnie]

Give me a shout if you get stuck, it's very important that the kit is fitted right! It is best to start of with a 25 shot but you'll soon be wanting more I think i'm paying about £46 a month for insurance and i'm 24, 4 years no claims and live in the sticks. It depends how heavy your right foot is, the bigger the jets the more nitrous you use, a bottle heater will help get the most out of your nitrous because you'll be warming it up to the correct pressure there for getting more power. On the road its amazing!!! especially the sound, i should have some videos somewhere of mine on a 75 shot without a controller!!! Is the book your getting 'the nitrous oxide high performance manual' by trevor langfield by any chance?

Hope this makes sense lol

this one

thanks for all your help

 

[rocket_ronnie]

Thats the one. its a great book and it'll tell you everything you need to know.

Yeh, racing a faster car against a slower car is cheating

i'll hopwfully be putting a small shot of nitrous in mine (25bhp) when i've got the money

in my opinion depends what u use the car for.

I fitted nos but never used it. fitted as a purge kit and never got round to actually injecting nos.

BUT, i had a HUGE bottle which was really heavy. For track day use (like nurburg) where it isn't practical to use nos all the time its just a dead weight in the car, like carrying an extra spare wheel of a chunk of ICE.

For quarter mile then i can see more point but i still cant see how less that 50 shot would counteract extra weight in the car

My main use will be Pod quaters

If you have ever added an extra 25bhp to a car you will see its clearly noticable, much more than shedding abit of weight is
It is worth it



Ronnie, any photos of how you tapped into the fuel line, where you mounted the throttle switch and how you mounted the solenoids and bottle?

 

[ste4232]

i disagree! its all about power-to-weight-ratio.

And in my eyes whats point of spending my weekends stripping sound deadening with a scrapper to add it back in?

I can see benefits of nos for 1/4 sprinting but other than that id rather add a permanent 25bhp which i can use all the time by just pressing the loud pedal!

And most nos kits dont give near what they say on the tin either.

Id be interested to see your 1/4 mile times with and without nos to prove me wrong! I never mind being proved wrong . . . each to their own in the modifying world, thats the fun of it

 

[rocket_ronnie]

my 11lb bottle weighs just under 11 kgs which is probably half of what a spare wheel weighs.

Its not just the BHP you get with nitrous but also the huge amount of torque

F2 Ed - i'll get all the pictures tomorrow, just waiting for the day light because its always dark when i finish work.

 

[rocket_ronnie]

Heres a couple of pic's.

Just watch you dont blow out your floor pan like on fast and the furious guys.... =-p

 

[F2 Ed]

Thanks so much ronnie, that brilliant. Great solenoid positioning

Is the fuel rail on this engine fed by a ring and banjo bolt fitting? Think i'll use a WON adapted banjo bolt for fuel supply rather than cutting a fuel line and adding a T piece.

Going to start buying bits now. Each paycheck will bring a new part i.e. solenoid, bottle etc..

Should be able to do it much cheaper than buying a kit. Will keep you posted
thanks again

Just ordered some BPR7EIX NGK spark plugs. Made from irridum and 1 stage colder. Same as evo 8 plugs lol

 

[rocket_ronnie]

Good stuff, there the best suited plug for nitrous. they'll be ok up to a 75 shot after that you'll have to go fo some 6's

 

[F2 Ed]

The OE plugs (BUR6ET) are in heat range 6. I went for 7 (one stage colder)

 

[rocket_ronnie]

What HT leads have you got at the moment?

 

[F2 Ed]

OE ones

need some 8mm ones?

 

[rocket_ronnie]

8mm will be better but you can keep your OE ones (unless your going for big power) but remove those metal clips that are on the spark plug end of the lead

 

[F2 Ed]

I might do the old rotor arm modification too

That should help make a bigger spark
