Cheap NOS kits
I was speaking to a mechanic yesterday and he told me about these NOS kits yu can get off ebay for £13.
SEE HERE. Normally
I'd be very sceptical of stuff like this but the mechanic used to work at a college teaching automotive engineering and they decided to test out
one of these kits on a bike they had lying around, and apparently it worked! Gave them boost for around 5 seconds. He seemed to think it would work on
my car too, does anyone have any experience of these kits?
Cheers,
Pete

There's no fuel line, so you'd need to make your own.
I can't imagine a worthwhile boost to a 2litre pinto compared to whatever bike they tested it on.
Why not do the job properly, in a locost-type way ?

Re: fuel line - this thing just plugs into your airbox so it only needs the line for the NOS, the fuel is taken care of via the usual supply to the
pump.
I'll have a look at that link, but I was just wondering if this thing would really work!
Cheers,
Pete

Even at the drags your going to need more than 5 seconds of spray. One 12 second run would probably use the entire supply of bottles.

It's true that the bottles wouldn't last very long but you can get them from catering suppliers extremely cheap - around 25p a bottle. If
there was some way of transferring the gas into one bigger cylinder then you could kit yourself out for next to nothing!

If there is no fuel supply increase then your engine is surely going to run lean and eventually go bang. You need more fuel to go with the extra
oxygen from the NOS.

In that case I don't know how it works exactly. Am reading through burgerman's site at the moment, very interesting...

That's the difference between wet & dry Nitrous systems. The serious users (addicts?) always go for the wet systems - two separate solenoids
to provide measured amounts of gas & extra fuel. It is unlikely that you will do any harm on a five second burst but if you want more performance
you'll have to dig a bit deeper into your pocket.
You can often pick up cheap NOS systems on ebay - they basically consist of a bottle (10lb should be ok), two solenoids and a nozzle. In basic terms
you just drill into your inlet tract somewhere, screw in the nozzle, plumb it into the solenoids and have the whole lot triggered by a micro switch
under the throttle. The idea being that when you put 'the pedal to the metal' you activate the switch and wwwhhhoooossshhhhh!
