hello
anyone had or have nos fitted to there scooby,if so what sort of range have they done, i have been told that the scooby engines are quite soft for the power and have been advised not to fit nos,i have already blew one engine apart at 150mph,my car should be running at about 280bhp now with the upgrades i have,the only one i have not done is the exhaust manifold.

has anyone topped 150mph???

 

andy forrest

 

in a scooby??
me mates got a lambi 190mph and could go more

 

You mean "on a racetrack"! - or you'll have the PC brigade after you

 

I have, and every time I blast a "100 shot a NOS" I shout NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSS!!!!!!!! and the outside world goes all blurrrrryyyyyy!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

Yep - a touch over 210mph iirc

 

no offence fella, but ive noticed youve mentioned doing 150mph on two/three different threads now, and when questioned youve only said "it was a while ago". you will not do yourself any favours unless you were on a trackday or something... a little warning from the toffs on here, and the plod who frequent scoobynet, oh and the insurers on here too.

for the record, mickyjeff on here is currently taking his 05 sti to pieces and mentioned recently when he came down hes putting a "wizard of nos" kit on it. depends what the internals of the engine can take.

now stop bloody dropping yourself in it with this 150mph lark. you were doing 70 ok!?!?!

 

I quite often do 150mph on the public highway and I don't need to worry about who knows it either

 

smart ****

 

 

wise words

 

i was on a private road doing 150mph,thought it would look good saying it,my clock could of been stuck,the police cant prove nothing,insurance neither,i am not worrying about it,let them proove it,anyway about the nos,do you think it would blow a jap import engine to bits engine no. ej20,supposed to be low mileage

 

dunno mate, try one of the subaru specialists. depends what bhp kick your looking at getting nos wise

 

would get a nos kit of ebay,my pal says a big no no,says it would blow engine,or melt pistons,just a small boost would do,what sort of stuff would need to be done to engine to strengthen them,i have spoke to alot of people in newcastle about these and they all say the engines are soft,need to get it rolling road tested aswell to see what its kicking out now.

 

Some of us are just lucky Steve.

 

Topping 150mph, my SVX has shown 140 on the clock at 4500rpm (On a track of course). Its an Auto and the redline is 7000rpm. Chickened out because the car started to lift and go light. Its stock with no mods yet. Wait till I get those 2 turbo's and the Manual Gearbox!!.

 

^^^^^^^
Your point is??????????????

 

Yep it is a dirty job but someone has to do it

 

150mph...Jeez! You are my hero pal! I want to have your babies...

I had a ZEX kit fitted to my old car - WET kit is better than a DRY kit as it's safer. Very important that it's set-up correctly so that AFR is correct when in use. ZEX kits only operate on WOT which is safer and they also connect to FPR and vac line to monitor pressure. I ran 80bhp jets which gave me no probs at all and I saw a good increase in torque.

NOS kits are dead easy to install but do not use it until it's been checked / set-up on a RR. If your feeling proper fast & furious fit a purge kit like I did, no real use but a good laugh :-)

 

I also fitted a rising rate Sard FPR to be on the safe side - not sure what pressure the subaru oem unit is capable of

 

Nothing wrong with going fast...........however, bragging about it just makes everyone assume that you have a 'nat size sausage' in your trousers......or that you are actually 8yrs old.

 

8yrs old driving a scoob, is that a new record

 

sorry mate but you really sound like you're from the maxpower crew!!!

 

i bought a scooby to go fast i like high speed,nothing wrong with that is there,would like to go faster,with a new hks manifold and a bit of nos,maybe i would

 

Why do you assume he's 'bragging' ? - it's just a speed - it's not big or clever - it's just something he's interested in and is asking questions about.

 

Sure thing

Btw. I've done 150mph on a UK public highway on numerous occasions Oh dear, i'll never get insured again and better watch i'm not arrested

 

If you leave nitrous in the lines it partly boils into gas over time (or does it dissociate to nitrogen and oxygen.. one of the 2). The jets will not meter the gas correctly and the instant hit will be be over rich with fuel. Purging the line means you will have liquid all the way to the solenoid and get the correct metering straight away.

Of course it all happens so fast it's doubtful you'd notice

 

Oh yeah, and if you would like your car to last nitrous is not the way to boost top speed. Proper tuning is.

It's good for short bursts, like a 1/4 mile

 

keep sniffing v power if you are sausage jockey,you must mean a cocktail sausage,you must see these all the time,you seem to know alot about it
