Kevlar - fire resistant !

If I had nitrous it would get used daily.....

I hate lag.

dunx

 

If im going to go to the trouble of fitting NOS its going to get used every time i drive.!!!!
Ive got the school run(on the way there with no kids) down to 12mins 36 seconds. NOS got to be worth extra couple of seconds.

 

sounds pretty dangerous using NOS on the way to a school run!

 

Not if u purge in to the car, gets you all laughing

 

Think i would only need it in the school carpark. Some of those mothers are EVIL when theyre trying to get a space. Dont think there is one car dropping off with out a dent in it.

 

Unless it was in something like this!!!


YouTube - Never be late for school again.

 

I'd say Nitrous is only really useable for drag racing, on the basis that a 10 second squirt is fine, but I wouldn't want to use it any more than that!
I ran with it in a hillclimb car decades ago, before the RACMSA banned it.
We were the first to set up a customers Impreza using Nitrous, and the Simtek ECU to control it, and it works just fine! You'd be better off asking Martyn about it, but basically it has all kinds of compensation factors built into the set up, including which gear to use how much nitrous, etc. We'll have another play with our own test car when we get around to it, just flat out busy right now doing other stuff.
If you are already running 500 plus, and want more, that's the time to use it really, and don't forget it's forced induction pretty much like any other method, and that much extra cylinder fill has to be accounted for somehow.
Other than that, there are so many other options for Scooby tuning, I'd go for those first.

 

cheers alan. Would a fully forged sti engine cope with nos for day to day use if set up properly?
Which Martin are you refering to?

 

Do you need to display warning signs on the car if you have a NOS bottle fitted to warn the emergency services in case of an accident? In fact is it legal to use on the road??

 

Yes you do, compressed gas triangle sticker.

 

Thought so, wonder how many actually comply with the ruling

 

Anyone tried NOS on a standard car? what sort of results did you get. Saw someone on Youtube that put it on a rented car. then put 150 shot through it.
