Dry nitrous kits
« on: 03 August 2014, 05:00 »
Having looked at further options for power for the golf........

And considering how it isn't hooned about most of the time I have been wondering about a dry nitrous kit. At around £600 it seems quite a few horses for the money.

Anyone have any experience with this?

Anything you can share?

Cheers!

Apposed to a wet NOS kit? Never heard of a dry oen before...

Considered WMI?

Yes Si  :smiley:

After digging a bit more, it seems that WMI is a bit more suited to a charged diesel.

Kits around 400 quid. DIY fitment may take a few hours. No further mods needed as its mapped etc already so has the extra fuel.

Have a search for devils own. See what you think.....

Oh yea, I've read about devils own. Almost bought some my self a while back. Seems to be the way forward, NOS would be a tad extreme!

Google will definitely tell you more than I can.

Long story short you squirt a mix of 'fuel' & water into your inlet manifold and it helps with the bang to give you more torque and power  :smiley:

The water/methanol mix cools the air in the intake. Methanol helps the fuel to burn too
