Acceration

[Guest cjbailey]

Yeah, but a pain if u use the car on the road. The system has to be disconnected and purged as well (apparently) otherwise mr policeman will have a bit of fun with you (well, depending on how switched on they are!

Admittedly the likelyhood of anyone noticing is slim, but still!

CJ,

 

Various publications have stated that NOS is a perfectly legal road tuning solution, as long as your car has one of those small green compressed gas labels

 

If they really wanted you to do that, don't you think they'd have had a crack down on it by now?

Oh!

Well, that was merely what someone I know was told when he was pulled over with it plumbed into his car!

Nitrous is road legal and safe. With a progressive controller on the Nitrous you can inject different quantities at different revs eg 30% at 3000rpm and 100% at 4500rpm. That way it reduces wheelspin and Nitrous consumption.

 

I'll do it when i've recond the engine and got some £££.

I found this page that calculates the torque needed to get you from 0-60 in a specified time:

 

http://www.peter-burgess.com/maths.html#

 

You need to know weight of car in lbs.

 

For an 800kg car it would take 215lb/ft torque to get you to 60 in 4.99s (theoretically). Just need to calculate what that would be in BHP.

 

Horsepower = torque(lb/ft) * rpm

--------------------

5252

 

Someone correct me if i'm wrong.

Sounds resonable Andy,

 

And once you've decided on the torque output, all you then need to account for is the drag - the drag coefficient of the 7 type shape is bleedin hooooooj, :angry: and some sort of traction enhancing system to get the power down

Why do you think that Nitrous is illegal on the road.?? your a fool...

 

MG cars are selling there new SuperCar with a nitrous option.. for <1000hp

 

the only disadvantage of using a nitrous systems everyday, is that it costs ££ to refill.

 

get with it poeple...

Hi All,

Not shure what your insurance co would make of fitting a nos kit , because you WOULD tell them wouldnt you!!!

 

Just make sure it doesnt spring a leak, it wouldnt look good being pulled by the fuz and not being able to stop laughing

[Guest Takumi]

Insureers dont like performance modifications to cars, unless they're a specialist in high performance cars..

 

Does anyone know where I can Insure my new

Koenig prepared Murcielago Twin Turbo ??

 

at 850hp I dont think my no-claims bonus will help much...

[Guest morty]

You're havin a giraffe!

 

Aren't you?

 

Morty

[Guest Takumi]

I wish it were true..

 

... I would more prefer a Ferrari F40, or a Koenig- Ferrari Enzo

 

?? What you think...

 

http://www.koenig-specials.com/

 

they cater for SuperCars that need a bit more punch..

back to the nitrous subject:

last year at the Exeter show there was a black 2B fitted with a cosworth engine with turbo and nitrous .

the lad who owned/built it was from bristol i think and the car drew a bigger crowd than the ultima which was there too

he did tell me about the car but all i can remember was me thinking "your out of your box!!"

can anyone shead any light on this car if it is still in one piece
