Nitrous....<br><br>Thats what i'm talking about !!!!<br>I have also brought a set up, but after reading all this information i am going to hold on for a bit until i fit it...... some one else can be the goat for this one !!!!<br><br>I want mine to reduce the turbo lag..... + so i can s**t my pants !!  ;D ;D... COME ON<br><br>Game-on

I have found a UK company who supplys this<br><br>2) The Street-Blaster 100i-4 a direct port system, is supplied as a DIY kit at £585 (including a full 5lb cylinder and four injectors) and will achieve whatever power level you want (up to 100+ bhp).  <br><br>Regardless of which system you choose we would start you off at 25bhp and increase to suit your requirements.  Although the system is capable of "delivering" whatever power level you want (up to 150+ bhp), on a turbo engine this could result in an extra 200bhp "output" due to the massive intercooling from the Nitrous being at MINUS 128 degrees.<br><br>any good ??<br><br>Game-on

I guess in the UK you guys fancy frequent bottle refills, what with that pretty little 5-pounder.  I'd put in a 15lb bottle if they where shorter/larger-diameter... but they are just too long to fit & leave any room in the boot; hence my sticking with the standard (for the US anyway) 10lb bottle... which lasts about 2 weeks if used in a spirited manner.  I'd say a 5lb bottle = 1 tank of petrol when it comes to consumption.  Something to keep in mind unless you are one of the idle rich or a pensioner... but I just don't have that kind of time.<br><br>BTW doc, I've passed all the technical interviews & am being brought down to Florida on the 6th for a final full-day meet at the R & D lab of WebMD.  If everything works out & they don't low-ball me on the salary I could be living in Florida again be the end of January!!!!   I will be working in the Practice Management Solutions Dept. (i.e., the code which runs a doctor's office).  Do you use their product?  They are the #1 company in this field for the US & Canada.<br><br>I will also be an hour's drive from my old haunts, which is great for me from a Lotus service standpoint.

a custom eight-port nitrous oxide system, boosting horsepower by 50<br>http://www.kelownacapnews.com/07101-2/life1.htm<br><br>Surely this is just a bad reporting job.  That is just 6HP per runner & you won't even benefit from half that until the butterflies open at 4200RPM.  They cannot reliably meter that small amount anyway.  Don't believe everything you read.

So guys, I have purchased a purge kit and will install it in the next couple months.  It purges from the NOS-solenoid between the CAS and Throttle-body, but I have 6-feet of purge-hose I can route anywhere.  The easy thing would be to go down to the ground, but I want to see when the nitrous starts flowing, so that means pointing it up somewhere in my field of vision.  The hose is slightly smaller than that used for your windscreen washer.  Where can I mount/point this where it won't be seen?

Have acquired the kit, and a new exit location... passenger's side bum!

Here is some of the plumbing of the dual-outlet nitrous purge. It exits at the front of the lights instead of at the back like on Costas's car so you don't have to fiddle with the adjustment when your lights are up-or-down. It works equally well either way.

Outlet (one of 2):

Why you should never use self-tapping screws in our body-work (yet another reason not to let a shop work on your car!):

[nitroman]

Instead I drilled perfectly round and non-ragged 5/16" holes and inserted rubber rawl-nuts with brass threads. It is so snug you cannot insert the rawl-nut into the hole without first putting in the screw and "pulling" it through by pushing on the screw (if you understand my logic), because trying to push the rubber rawl-nut through the hole just makes it bunch-up. It makes for an elegant-looking and very-secure mounting. Sorry for the fuzzy picture.

nice work

Video please ! ! !

It's dry. You only hear gas coming out ever slower now, no liquid.

There is only one place in the whole of metro Atlanta to buy nitrous & it costs $38 for a fill (vs. $30 in Florida). If I get there Saturday from 8AM to 10AM they can fill it on the spot. It is actually in Stone Mountain & a friend's mother lives just a few blocks away. He is gonna ask if she will have it filled. There are probably 10 places or more in Jacksonville (1/5 the size of Atlanta) to get a fill, many open until 8 or 9PM). Florida & Southern California; that's where it's at bub!

Also there is less than a 50% chance that any given fuel station will have Premium petrol available at any given time. The mid-grade fuel is totally gone. All due to the refineries destroyed in New Orleans and the pipeline system I never knew existed which brings petrol from New Orleans to here. In Jacksonville petrol arrived via tanker vessel from overseas

Surely a PRO Job! well done buddy!
