    Having some ideas about a nos setup. Just need to look into some prices for tank refills to figure out if it is viable or not.

    Basically what i (and aaron!) are thinking about is having a small tank of nos setup with a arming switch, and some sort of solenoid on the accelerator. So basically the nos will only turn on once the secondary on carby is activated (measured by pedal position), the secondary will be tuned rich to cope with the nitrous injection, and should provide me with a bit more power.

    I was thinking of running a 25 hp shot, shooting straight into the carby. The pros of this would be a decent whack of power when i want it, but the downside would be that if i was giving it a hold without the nos armed fuel economy would be shit... but if im just operating with the primary it should have the same economy and charachteristics as a normal 3tc lol.

    So yeah, the only issues i have to sort out really is the cost on refilling the bottle as the actual delivery system would be pretty damn cheap, and where i could hide the bottle.

    Also please note that YES i do understand that this is not legal nor particularly safe, and i would only fit the bottle if i was going to the track or other events that required some type of speed. Otherwise it would be left out of the car for "normal" street driving.

    Any opinions?

    with a tiny jets, (aiming at 25hp) and the larger secondard fuel jets (just going off what mine is like) they should be fairly close.

    a bottel will last a fair while, it isnt that expensive i belive and its available to be refilled in launceston from memeroy because some of the local drag racers use its (V8 and bikes). you can buy a refill station if you get fairly serious or just buy a spare bottel.

    Yeah thats what i was thinking azza... but samq was saying it is mad expensive. Ah well i suppose we will just have to look into it!

    Yeah it would be a big whack of power but its not like i would be breaking dynos or anything... would probably have like 60 hp with nos. Would be funny for skids

    Ill chuck some pics up when i get something new, or when the car runs lol!

    HOPEFULLY it will run this weekend. Just need to sort out the water pump and the starter motor, and hopefully it will be all sweet. Probably run into a million other problems anyway...

    Will update when i have more news, if anyone else has any opinions on the nos feel free to post

    Anybody who quotes fast and the furious will be banned,

    Much love,

    Justin

    casey, like i told you, we cannot get our L's till we are 16 and 6months

    when you get this going, and you have your license you'll have to come pick me up from school, and we'll go see how she (the t18) likes the duck reach run? and see if you can beat sean's time!

    ooh and on another note, "i need nos, and harry, i need it by tonight"
