Adrian@TORQEN Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 You can run with UpRev, but it's not AS good as standalone ecu. Mine cost me around 2.5k for the gear and another 1.5k for install and tune. But mine was a all singing system with 2 bottle covertly stowed behind the passenger seat (in glove box). Do not and I repeat, do not just install the system with some sort of ECU management. Fueling and retarding the timing is critical. What Ian is trying to say here in very simple words: Warning!!! *** DON'T DO IT! *** or you'll end up using more oil than petrol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasso Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 No need to scaremonger the poor chap. There is nothing wrong with using NOS, or it wouldn't be used on the drag strip by thousands of people. I would run NOS on the V8 but, it's all dependant on the tuner and hardware. NOS isn't straight forward, neither is it a simple load it with NOS and off you go. There's also the supply of the gas and the heating for optimum performance. It's cheap compared to FI, but has its drawbacks. My engine ran till 112k miles and yes was using oil, but let's put the record straight, it's a revup and prone to burning oil. The engine when removed sold and was perfectly fine. Power was still as it was before NOS. Considering the mount of DE's blowing up without NOS, then clearly it proves NOS is not not a killer but caring for the engine IS highly important.

Ryanlegend22 Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 Any other way to get the power up a bit don't have 5k to charge or 8k to turbo upgrade cams? Or is around 300 bhp with bolt ons around the max without spending big money? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
