A chap who used to come to our surrey meets ran NOS for while but in the end he took it off due to the gearbox not being able to handle it, if it was my choice I wouldnt fit the stuff.

Was speaking to Andy Forrest the other day. He ran a 50bhp shot of nos in his 1/4mile car but that was with a dog box.

Dont think id fit it unless I had forged pistons, uprated rods etc, and a stronger gearbox, unless your 100% that your engine and gearbox could take it then fit it.

Thing is, if you have a type R then they have group N box, so should be able to handle a reasonable increase.

Most other scoobs apart from the 22b, the boxes aren't as strong.

Also one thing that will need upgrading is the clutch, a standard clutch won't last too long.

if you have seen this months scooby mag ,the article entitled grave robber,well the scoob at the start of the article has a cold fusion kit fitted.but realy ought to be running a progressive controller with it thats another good reason your boxes blow.

...could be wrong but you get a shot of nitrous when you go to full throttle - the NOS then fades out when the car comes on boost - say at 3,500 rpm or something??
