What about a squirt or two of Noz!!!!

Just to add to the debate!!!!

I played with Nitrous Oxide quite a lot in the mid 80's. You can make silly power with the stuff but unless the system is set up correctly it can be extremely destructive on an engine. Also with modern computer run engines it's very difficult to make work and it will destroy the Cat in seconds!!

oooh, I like the sound of that!

What sort of costs would that involve and how much extra stress will the engine have though!?

I dare you to include NOS, or worse, charger + NOS!

NOS it a trade mark of Nitrous Oxide Systems which is part of Holly Carburators!! It's also nothing like in the movies to use especially in Fast and Furious

What it does is add torque so if you have an engine that makes 100 bhp @ 5000 rpm and you add a 50 bhp Nitrous kit it will make an extra 50 bhp so 150 @ 5000 rpm. However it will add the same 50 bhp regardless of rpm so if the engine is turning at say 3000 rpm and is making 50 bhp by injecting your Nitrous at 3000 rpm you still add 50 bhp so now you are make 100 bhp a 3000 rpm!! This is why it can destroy an engine if used incorrectly

I got 292 bhp and 12.5 sec for the 1/4 mile, for a 180 with all the goodies.

Interesting link zsserbia, Ta.

But it did say buy a new car, you will blow the engine up!!! Which is about right, from what I have heard re. the Noz.

I put my derv info in and it came back at 162 bhp.

RR was 159 bhp so its quite good at guessing!!!!

Yes, fairly accurate, that... I guess they all use some kind of a pattern/formula which involves air intake in cubic feet per minute (CFM) and then compare it with desired modifications which mostly increase breathing...

I nitroused a zs 180 and a 120.

The 180 made 242bhp at 300ftlb of torque. That's was a 50bhp shot.

The 120 made 182bhp with 210ftlb torque. That was with 50bhp shot.

I ran both cars for many miles and never had an issue.

Both cars ran cats and passed subsequent mot tests after.

I did run a 75 shot in a 180 and it eventually blew but it was fun.

This was without a boost controller. So it means it was an immediate boost.

I used to charge £800.00 supplied and fitted.

just done the link and mine worked out at 209bhp and a 1/4 mile at 14.9 ha ha

mapping will be worth it if you have the mods
one of my old R/R you can see the extra bhp etc etc as the changes are made
