H5 Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 I don't know of any on here. I had a lot of discussions with the Wizard of NOS a couple of years ago, about the time Top Gear did that test with the Jag that blew away all the supercars. His approach was to put nothing more than a 5bhp 'shot' on a car, and he insisted on doing tests on the engine before selling you bigger jets to allow more power. At the time, he also offered a warranty on your engine at a cost of £1 per bhp shot you had on the car. He wasn't the cheapest but certainly seemed to know what he was talking about and had a very good reputation. Have no idea what's happened in that two year gap though. BTW, the only reason I didn't go for it was due to the fact my diesel dog was mechanically fuel injected hence not possible without a lot of other work........

Removed Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 a 5bhp shot??? in the US quite a few people run NOS with no major issues, IIRC max shots on our engines are about 100bhp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sl114 Posted December 4, 2006 Author Share Posted December 4, 2006 a 5bhp shot??? in the US quite a few people run NOS with no major issues, IIRC max shots on our engines are about 100bhp Thats what i thought, the 100bhp shot will be without any modifications I think. With the plenum, induction and exhaust id say 75bhp shot as the 100 may pust it too close to the 420 mark. I am thinking about it as my insurance company allows it woohoo, but other mods will come first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 don't know of anyone who has it in the UK, could be interesting! I'm not really attracted by it, seems like cheating if you know what i mean, plus the bottle really puts me off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not really attracted by it, seems like cheating if you know what i mean, plus the bottle really puts me off from what i have read, its perfectly safe. And i do agree its cheating, but you can always take it off and add it once you have the big toys on it too, teehee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H5 Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 a 5bhp shot??? in the US quite a few people run NOS with no major issues, IIRC max shots on our engines are about 100bhp I think it's quite a good way of testing the engine before giving it a big boot.

captint Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 would you not have problems if you ran Nos on the normal ECU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ir_fuel Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 No, coz by the time the ECU wants to "self-adjust" the NOS will have worked out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
