Exmo V8?

[Guest Alasdair]

and filling the bottle could be a pain

A frequent pain from what I have heard.

With a 10 pound bottle and 'only' fitting +75 BHP fogger nozzle it should last around 30mins of constant use. However the nitrous is only used when you hit full throttle with the system armed, as I will only use it occasionally and I only do an average of 1000 miles a year I don't anticipate having to fill it up too often. Also if you get a big old CO2 fire extinguisher you gan fill this up and use it to refill the bottle in the car many times.

Hi All and especially ---

 

Peter - I was flattered you posted the 2 photos - thanks and you were right it is a 3.9 + T9 box (neat photos)

 

Mike - yes it is a bit of a squeeze and it does sound brilliant - the Herts guys i think could confirm that

 

John - telling you that I've got it up to 248 bhp was our secret - no only kidding but doing virtually 130 mph on the rolling road to get the reading was a touch interesting (and noisy)

 

Guy - thanks for the article - that appears to be exactly how mine has been put together

 

and Boogie - its a shame you can't go the V8 route with your Exmo - its so brilliant to drive - quick, lazy and noisy

 

I'll probably be selling my "Yellow Peril" in Spring next year if anybody is interested and will obviously post it on this web site when the time comes

 

Cheers All

in my experience a 10lb bottle of nitrous lasts about 2 minutes of constant use I think 30minutes is a bit optimistic.

[Guest rizla]

30 minuets that will never hapen the longest mine ever lasted was a total of 5 mins,that was using a pro timer to maximise the gas use

[Guest Russler]

whats a minuet, is it one of those eskimo people

[Guest rizla]

look ok my spelling is cr*p but I know wot i meen

[Guest rizla]

oh and any company that will sell you a kit with a 75 nozel is not a reputable company and does not understand noz systems

the nozel you should have first is a 25 then when/if the engine performs ok then thatt company will sell you the next nozel up

whats a minuet,

I once had a minuet. I found it really hard to work out where to sit, but then the wheels fell off so that was the end of that.

Buy a kit??

 

I thought that this was the backdoor mechanics and general twichers club.

 

We bodge things ourselves (with a little help)

 

See:- http://www.diy-nitrous.fsnet.co.uk/

 

Then its all hands to mass production.

IanS: Yes - I know the website, in fact it is one of the ones that convinced me to do it.

 

Rizla: Yes they told me to start with a 25BHP shot but once I had told them what engine / tuning I had they told me that 75BHP was more than OK, if fact they said I should fit a +100BHP nozzle as my bottom end should be able to take much more!

 

Russler: I am a most concerned about what you say because the vendor told me otherwise with regard to duration of NOS. Tell me more!

Boggie.
