Nitrous Oxide Injection

Anyone tried it?

For £500 it does sound like a cheep way to get a extra bit of wumph when you need it with all the benifits of keeping the engine standard.

Does not suit the Rover Engine (Will Blow Up!)

But would it?

A mild extra 25bhp would put the same strain as some of the more basic head replacement kits.

For example the 'bolt on' 160 kit retains the same crank, pistons, and rods - the parts most stressed by the extra bhp.

The valve gear will only be doing the same work (rev limit stays the same) temperature remains the same; cylinder pressure will increase but to less than the equivalent of the 160bhp on the stressed bits.

Anybody tried this and ended up with box of melted aluminium?

Or will it work?

Anyone have some hard facts and strong arguments?

For £500 i would sooner have some cams and get 15bhp+ all the time rather than 10 shots of 25bhp.

A decent size bottle would take up most of the boot... Refills will be a pain as you would need them every few days

You can only really use it in a straight line...
If it gets warm (like Elise boot) and you have a slight leak it will blow your entire house up

IMHO for drag strip use only in 100bhp shots
