nitrous is nice but it has a habit of severly shortening the life of an engine, not good if u forked out for a 2.1 zvh motor. Still i wouldn't mind giving it a blast for a laugh (in somebody elses car like)

I've had a kit sitting in my loft for the last year or so :grin: Hopefully I'll get the time to fit it this summer. I've read all the do's and don'ts about NOS but, having spoken to Trev @ Wizards of NOS, most of these come from people who have never used it, so the whole thing becomes a bit of an "urban myth". Careful use should yield 50bhp!! As with anything, caution is required. I mean, you wouldn't go running 30psi on a std turbo with no engine mods, now would you?! :grin:

bloke on the Soarer owners club has a twin turbo soarer with nitrous rigged up so whenever its armed, it "boosts" at full throttle automaticly.

i'll assume its fairly nippy!!! :lol:

They all boost at full throttle! There is a microswitch on the throttle....you arm the system and then the NOS gets injected when you plant the "loud" pedal :wink:

Check this out!!! From Trev's Wizard of NOS site :grin:

Two dynamometer runs on a stock Suzuki GSXR-1100-WP (apart from the Nitrous System with 50bhp metering jets fitted) showing bhp increase when the button is pushed at 7400rpm's onwards on the 2nd run. This graph shows it is a little rich for safety, but still makes 190bhp at the rear wheel, even with stock exhaust and ignition, and a gravity fed fuel supply to the Nitrous System.

I've fitted a few kits on N/A cars, but i know someone who used the setup to give instant accleration before the turbo comes in, then it acts as a charge coolant! normally, nitrous and boost on small engines is a no no. Big engines with auto boxes benefit from the nitrous.

Asad - so is this car still running, or did the guy with the turbo blow it up?! Any pointers on fitting NOS to a turbo car?
