Does anyone have any opinions on the risk/rewards of fitting nitrous oxide?
i know is can be used as a"cooler" or in the usual way (extra air/fuel= bigger bang), any info welcome.

 

I had Nitrous in my peugeot 106 rallye, used 50BHP jets taking power up from 110BHP to around 160BHP in a car weighing around 800Kg's. It flew, i wouldnt risk it in an impreza though, its hard enough to stop the engine breaking anyway so NOS is going to play havoc

 

I have pushed over a 100lbs of nitrous through my engine to date with no problems .
I think you need to take the time to do a proper setup to eliminate some of the risks.
My engine runs with a rpm window switch, wot switch, progressive controller and delay relay for the nitrous, fuel solenoid offset to prevent a momentary lean situation.
It is also a direct port setup this gives much more flexability in tuning the nitrous.
The engine is built with forged pistons,paulter rods ext ext

wow!!! what a machine, your link says 11sec quarters with no nitrous, have you any results with, or is that not allowed where you run?also is your car still used on road and as such is there any disadvantages other than cost?

 

thanks for reply, I have spent loads on scoob to make fast and reliable(fingers crossed). I will keep in mind your comments,cheers

 

In the high 10's with nitrous I just havent gotten everything out of the car yet I'm breaking shafts left and right, 6 so far.
The car is running a 75 shot and is a daily driver and the only disadvantage is the cost
