Justin Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 How are people getting on with NOS? I have two bottles fitted with 75bhp jets but haven't even armed it yet as I am a bit aprehensive about it blowing my engine, transmission etc. I might try it if the roads ever dry out but as I say don't know if it is worth it. The car is fast anyway without it. Any input appreciated. Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 Do it! You won't regrte it, I have nitrous with everything standard except uprated spark plugs and second cat removed. The 2 turbos loves the taste of nitrous as much as it likes the tasye of petrol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 Well I'd personally get some 25bhp jets and start testing at that and work up. Theres some good info on http://www.noswizard.com/ Trev knows his stuff. Also some very knowledgeable people in the forum on there (just ignore the chavs ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kubus1 Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 25 shot will be totally unnoticable. Even 75bhp on my previous setup (single nozzle) wasnt all that much. Direct port 120 shot is quite interesting. 75 shot is totally safe. I ve done it loads of times. going over 120 bhp will be pushing it with stock manifold. My advise is go on and have fun with N2O. Dont spray below 3500rpm. Watch the fuel cut! Cuba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 Originally posted by kubus1 25 shot will be totally unnoticable. I'm not saying it would be, I'm just saying I'd start out small and monitor things and then move up rather than starting at the biggest. I'm sure Trev would recommend the same thing.

MONKEYmark Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 so many things you need to know with nos, would like it myself if it was safe. do any of you run bottle warmers, is the best type wet shot. and what psi do you run at. i been told you have to get the fuel and nos psi correct. its a bit daunting when there are so many options to go with. would be good to see a few nos installs if anyone going to santapod and using it. see how much it improves upon your times. does it really make a big difference to cars power?

Theres some good info on http://www.noswizard.com/ Trev knows his stuff. Also some very knowledgeable people in the forum on there (just ignore the chavs ) I inherited this 75 bhp NOS system from it's previous owner who knew what he wanted and was doing. He ended up with 75's after messing about with other sizes and concluded it was best for this setup on this car. Other safety and monitoring systems I have are: 8 Fuel injectors (2 extras in throttle intake come on at 1.5 bar) Walbro pump 550 injectors Hybrid Turbos ERL Water cooling Blitz ECU Blitz FMIC HKS plugs Side mount oil cooler AFR guage Apexi SAFC EGT guage Dual intake temp gauges (before and aft intercooler) Oh yes and 6 pot AP brakes !

Justin Posted October 8, 2004 Author Share Posted October 8, 2004 Originally posted by kubus1 Dont spray below 3500rpm. Cuba Ta for your input. I have a digital progressive controller. After arming I think the gas is timed to come on 1 second after it detects wide open throttle then pumps gas for 4 seconds if you keep your foot down. I hope with a power brake start from say 2200 rpm the nos will be not too early and cause problems and not too late to be ineffective. Or should I arm the NOS when I see the needle go past 3500rpm? A lot to concentrate on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tis well modded mate That crash really did me a favour and let me have the car of my dreams in a round about kinda way. Hopefully be running 1.7 bar at Pod on Sunday ERL is just the pump that sucks water and screen washer fluid from the washer bottle and fires it into the manifold at over 1.0 bar.

Justin Posted October 8, 2004 Author Share Posted October 8, 2004 Sorry mate yup that's what I meant water injection not a cooler of water:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syed Shah Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 If you must (and you might as well since it is already on the car ), I would spray a MAX of 50HP. BPU TTs + Nitrous is a bad idea, proven many times. Keep the amounts very low. Now, if you had a single turbo...... One more thing, don't use it on high speed runs.

Syed I appreciate your comments but can you qualify why it is a bad idea? Mine isn't really BPU running at 500bhp with 30K of mods on it.

I missed you by 15 minutes after you left GVN I will mate as soon as I can get home from the office before sunset! Will take some this weekend and at Pod on Sunday. Was a nightmare driving out of London in rush hour with the old bumper in the back I had no left side or rear view at all!!! Sorry I missed ya.

kubus1 Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 One more thing, don't use it on high speed runs. So when are you supposed to use it, in stationary traffic?? NOS is there to make your car go fast! And why would NOS and stock TTs be a bad idea. I am on my second NOS kit now. First one was a single fogger wet kit. I have a direct port now. Over a year of using Nitrous Oxide and no problems. Cuba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 Nitrous is at its best when the car is at WOT, it makes no difference if you are doing a top speed run, from a standing start for a short sprint or just for a short time for the factor. The only thing is make sure you have enough gas in your bottle for what you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
