You reckon it's worth mucking around with the water-meth if you go the nitrous? How you going to setup the car with both? Have the water-meth kit switch off when the nitrous kicks in?

water meth for the street with higher boost then lower boost and run nos and turn off water meth or run them together cos you can

100hp shot of gas. Lenghten the lines between the solinoids to the fogger for a "softer" hit. Make shure your fuel pump can flow enough fuel for the extra 100hp.

More power

Cooler intake charges

No waiting to get your head back and get the car on the road

Faster spool up

Upgradable system, for future power gains/reliability

Paint the bottle yellow and tell the cops it's a fire suppression system??? ha ha ha

Like any power adder, as long as you tune it right your motor should live a long happy N20 life. I raced for two seasons with N20 on a 400rwkw 15yo 26 without a hiccup.

I love gas!

If you're using a crude, generic nitrous kit (like all of the ones listed in this thread so far) then lengthen the line from the nitrous solenoid and leave the fuel one short.

I think my stance on Nitrous vs. other mods is fairly well known. :banana:

Highpower Nitrous Systems from the UK and to a (much, much) lesser extent, the new NX stuff.

Yes. The differences are too numerous to list here. Focus your attention on the Pulsoids compared to generic solenoids and you'll be on the right track. You can set up a generic NOS or NX or Zex kit to work well but you should have a good understanding of nitrous beforehand.

just curious if the engine is built and has forged internals, if so why are we talking about 75 and 100 pills? shold be multipying these amounts by atleast 2.

Nick, go E85 buddy. For the street there is no comparison.

As we have very similar setups im now making 470rwhp at 19psi. Fuel system i bit bigger to yours though i think :)

If i were to choose though, id go the headwork.

Looks like you are on the NOS path :bunny:

Hmm never heard of those UK nitrous systems. Are there Aus suppliers of those Highpower Nitrous Systems, or do you have to buy direct from the UK? If so, wouldn't the price be a lot more compared to your generic $800 NOS, NX wet systems?

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
