Hey all,

A mate of mine and i were discussing the other day, Nitrous oxide.

He was telling me that you can run a 50 shot of nitrous and it can be beneficial to ure engine (as it cools down the pistons a bit aswell as the rest), rather than destroy it.

Im pondering possibly doing this to my own car... but would like some opinions first. Has anyone here got a nitrous setup in their car? running stock internals etc? Does anyone know roughly how much it would cost to get installed?

All info/opinions appreciated :(

Hey, coulda told you this before but I think I forgot to. Seen a stock Ti R31 running 50 shots down the drags with complete stock internals. He claims to have done 54 passes at that point with it and it didn't miss a beat. Got some nice low 14s which is good considering there normally people trying to pull a high 15 in stock form!

NOS is the "SHIT"! :)

I run an 80hp wet shot & the HIT is better than Viagra!

When set up propperly is is a safe & effective hp gain , tho getting it right can be an absolute BIATCH..... as those who were present at my first effort will testify.

As a result of this.....only a WET shot is worth doing (wet shot is where the correct ammount of fuel is injected with the nos).

I use Geogre at ADRENALINE for all Nos related stuff.... he's seen it all.

Go the Gas :burnout:

good to hear rep003,

so how much for somthing like this? do you still find it to be safe? I have always wanted to put it on but everyone always seems to say oh but this can go wrong and that can go wrong.

Plus not too mention the pic i saw recently were the whole engine blew up of the drag car when the lines caught fire! the whole bonnet flew off!!

MirKz, i was once into nos as i through it was cheap hp, if you look at the nos website they have different setup for different power lvls, i belived anything over 300hp they requirment you run forged internals.

i belived rev210, uses it in his car, and i think it was something like 100shot and he had good results also

croyden GTR did the same thing, only with his, when he reved and started a burnout, nos thought he was racing, so it put a shot in and had no where to go but up, and lets just saw, the bonnet only just stayed on.

    • The team at OBD2 Australia are pretty good, shoot them an email and ask them. I've dealt with them before for work stuff. I'd be shocked if it didn't work, so long as Consult can activate the ABS. But you might need to use KLine for it which would be the stopper, as I don't think that piece does KLine comms.
    • Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.
    • Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using. 
    • There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.
    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
