Guest Phillw454 Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Nothing! Yet. Was abit of an impulse buy if im honest, got in after a very long day, seemed to find it somehow for a very cheap price and thought i had to have it after all the discussion lately. Itl most likely be on a purge untill i fully read up on what itl do to the internals of the engine etc, dont want it to go pop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bolarbag Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 For reliability I'd use a progressive Nos controller or map it into a standalone ems e.t.c It wont do any harm to your internals of your engine, the problem will be the extra power your engine makes with the Nos What shot is it? Looks like a 50hp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Will your insurance company cover you with n20 fitted? Or will you just drive it undeclared? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolarbag Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Will your insurance company cover you with n20 fitted? Or will you just drive it undeclared? I would ask...would they replace it if was damaged(highly unlikely) How fast could I have it disconnected in a crash;) Touch Hairy wood!

Guest Phillw454 Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Will your insurance company cover you with n20 fitted? Or will you just drive it undeclared? When its filled with NOS itl be declared untill it is itl be empty so no need to declare it yet. Wont drive it undeclared as its likely to go boom in a big crash. Thinks its a 50bhp shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 50 shot or less you should be okay without a progressive, any more than that and you should definitely have one. Is that the purge valve in the photo, or have you gone for a dry kit (only pumps nitrous into the engine)? If so, spend a bit more and get yourself set up with a wet kit (pumps both fuel and nitrous into the engine). You'll definitely want a purge valve with the braided line, as it's a large enough bore to let the nitrous expand slightly, so the first hit every time will be from already gaseous nitrous, rather than the liquid that you really want.

Wont drive it undeclared as its likely to go boom in a big crash. Thinks its a 50bhp shot There are very limited insurance companies will cover you even with the kit only fitted with no feed pipe to the engine (for show purposes only) once you declare it, I think they are wise to the whole "its only there for show purposes" crap. I fitted Nitrous to my car before I looked into refills and insurance costs and it ended up as a bit of a mare. Refills are sporadic (you'll be a lucky guy if you find someone local) and expensive. Until you get a progressive controller it will just whack all that noz into the engine when you have it switched on (most cheap systems like that have a wot switch) but that noz will do bugger all until the engine hits its own power band except exit out your exhaust and as such will be wasted money. I used a 10 lb bottle in 45 minutes driving around that cost me £50 to fill. Just a small point you may want to consider here is that the kit you bought was a bargain for a reason, I listsome of the reasons above mate. But hey its your car, your insurance (or lack of it), your money, and your life so don't let me sway you in any way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucifer Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Interpro have NOS refill. Go and see Jody, I think hell be interested to soo you local guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phillw454 Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Interpro have NOS refill. Go and see Jody, I think hell be interested to soo you local guys. Yes he already pm'd me the price and that they do it, not far either:) As for the rest of it, i know sweet fa about nos:) i will not install it and use it untill i am A fully coverd by an insurance company, and B have the right equipment to be sure that it wont just make my manifold pop. Untill then im happy for it just to sit in the car un connected and empty just looking nice. If i cannot find any insurance company that will cover it i will simply have it connected purely to a purge kit and not the engine, at the end of the day its only a NA and a 50shot still wont make it a rocket car so im quite happy to wait for my TT then blow my car up or drive uninsured:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try calling one and asking them (not your own btw). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try calling one and asking them (not your own btw). Ok i see your point if nos is in the car, no insurance, same as most mods. What if the bottle was empty? Surely then (although pointless i know) it will be seen as just an empty container? This is all just speculation of course untill i do start calling up insurers and listen to the giggles i get as i say im 20 with a supra and now have nos in it:rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Like I said give a couple of companies a ring and ask them if they will insure the car with it fitted the way you intend before you go to the effort of actually fitting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
