thinking of nitrous oxide...
« on: 09 June 2013, 23:52 »
everyone seems to be going down the WMI/welly cooler route, which is fair enough, but it does cost a bit of money..
i might upgrade my fmic and pipework but was thinking instead of buying a water meth kit, get my car tuned up without it and be happy with what it makes without. i will have upgraded injectors and maf housing, got them waiting to drop in. so, was thinking that after the set up is mapped in, go for a nitrous oxide set up.. i think my setup without N2O should easily make roughly 270bhp and with a squirt of nos, quite a bit more, got to be careful not to smash my rods in the mean time so will go for a small nozzle to start and perhaps buy a spare engine to build afterwards.
what are your opinions with that idea?.

I think if you got a decent progressive kit it should be ok

It's a bit more gentle on your engine!
