Thought I'd look into the price of fitting NOS. Turns out it retails around £1,100 fitted for up to a 100bhp progressive shot. Could be worth a punt for honours on the 1/4 mile, but does anyone have experience of using it?
Anyone have any thoughts?
4** bhp sounds good, but would the engine take it?
-
Used it in a mk1 Escort.
Useless in first and you need to program a progressive shot from about half way through the Rev range in second, taking into account when the car comes on boost and drop the NOS off again or you will spin the wheels up in second. 3rd is full shot but you're at the end of your run.
Its very difficult to setup unless you are doing run after run or have someone that has the data. Plus you need some very sticky rubber.
-
You best bet is to speak to James @ JBS - they had this on the old Octavia once. Progressive is what you would want and probably on 50bhp shop max - 100bhp would put some extra strain on things!
Heard this name come up a bit in the past ... http://www.noswizard.com/

have you considered that your dsg box probably won't cope with the extra hp without modified clutches?
-
Hurdy, you are bonkers toying with this idea, 400hp, and quite possibly getting to the relms of a blown engine and gearbox in a £19k car!! with No warranty!!!, your mad, but if you wanna risk it, tis up to you. I still think your bonkers now doing all these mods etc, but i doubt whether you'd have ANY warranty from vw if the worst happened.
Fair enough do it to an old banger and if it goes pop, then theres no hardship, but on a New expensive motor?? you need to stop and think my old mate.
Just Think Carefully of what your doing and possible consequences to your pocket, and pride aswell :wink:

Just sell the GTI and buy an RS4, 420HP & 4WD and if you aren't happy with that, fit a Turbo or 2?

....My thoughts as well. But each to their own :cool:

At last, back on line :smiley:
I was looking into this as an option and still thinking about it, but I reckon I'd plump for the LSD first as Topher has mentioned, "Power is nothing without control".
I guess the proper way to go is a GT30 and strengthened rods and look into uprated DSG clutch packs.
I just get a bit too eager for my own good sometimes :embarassed:

I have the same problem sometimes! LED DRL's about to happen! Still undecided about Quaife diff - Great product but do I really need it?
-
You only need an LSD if you go 1/4 miling or on track days. On the road I doubt that most would see any benefit.

....Which is why I don't really need it. There are 'benefits' on every corner - Be it road or track the ATB differential doesn't differentiate.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Don't do it mate.. :sad: I know NOS is affective, but I just think it's a cheap, nasty, dangerous (for car) way of modding a car. If mine had NOS, I would be a bag of nerves all the time waiting for it to go bang!!!
It's going to be quick enough as it is I reckon, but if you want to go another step up, then go the bigger turbo route etc..
Just my opinion though.. :wink:
-
Hurdy. Does nos not make you a bit chavy? :evil: :tongue:
I think you should give it a miss.

Who said I wasn't chavy :wink:
NOS generally belongs to the jap modders and drag enthusiasts, most chavs couldn't afford to inhale it let alone fit it in one of their cars :grin:

Hurdy turns up at meets in his burberry cap and adidas tracky, we pretend not to know him.

Ha Ha
I showed my dad your car Hurdy. He just smiled.
And at this point locked the Golfs keys in the safe :evil:
-
I think NOS is a great idea and executed properly is not going to make your engine go bang.
(maybe your DSG might tho :grin:)
However the last thing a modded ED30 needs is more low end torque :grin:
If you go bigger turbo route then maybe to counter lag its a viable route at smallish hp levels.
However I would really fear for the box at the levels of low rpm torque that would have. (instant wheelspin anyone?)
I'm thinking R32 + HPA kit + progressive nitrous kit 50hp :laugh:
Hurdy your mad :cool:
