Can anyone recommend a good quality installer of Nitrous Oxide Injection systems. Has anyone had any experience of a car fitted with such a system and what gains can be acheived without destroying the engine?

diseasal? i take it you mean diesel? actually nitrous works better on diesels because you dont have to worry about detonation and since the casing are fairly hefty to cope with the high compression ratio's, so you can inject more nitrous.

the amount of nitros you can use on an engine depends on number of cylinders it has got and depends on what pistons you have got and also depends on what ignition system you have got. what part of the country are you from, as i know someone who fits nitros oxide !!

Sounds insane but it was in CCC magazine a few months ago. If he can do that - then there's a definite recommendation

Why is it related to the number of cylinders?

you can only put so much nitrous through a cylinder so the more cylinders you have the more nitrous you can use. I know a guy who has a 6cyl ford and puts 400bhp of nitrous through and claims his pistons will accept 500bhp. when going up the drag strip he uses a full 10lb bottle per run and at approx £30 to fill his runs are quite expensive for 11 seconds of fun.

IF ITS FOR ROAD USE YOU DONT WANT THAT MUCH

100 PLUS ON MOST CARS MAX AND FOR MANY YOUR NEED A PROGRESIVE CONTROLER

IF YOU WANT ANY TRACTION

iV GOT A KIT FOR MY ASTRA GTE TO FIT IF I EVER GET THE PAINT FINSHED

25 BHP JETS FOR STARTES AND TESTING THEN ILL TAKE IT TO 75 PLUSS

So surely it's dependant on displacement rather than number of cylinders?

I did`nt say it was for on the road, I did say it was on the strip.I don`t need nitouus for on the road. if you do nitrous for on the road then you realiy need to modify you engine lots or must be just loopy.If you have either a rear wheel drive or a 4wd then you can use it of the line within reason if your lsd is working. The amount of nitrous you can use depends on the displacement ??? does it!! im no expert on it im only going on what i know and have learnt. the funny thing is this 4ltr v6 can use 500bhp of nitrous also i know a bloke with a big block chevy it is a 9ltr and he uses upto 500bhp so i am now lost if that is the case. so if you can explane how that is i would listen and learn.

go have a look on high powers forum

alot of it is down to how hard your enging is ie vw are very hard.

vaxhalll bottoms are a bit week

the it comes down to traction nos give big tork/ cant spell talk

so if you just put tooo much in at once it uslees as your will just spin the weels and lose traction.

you a progresive controler you can program it to feed in the nos over a set time builing up to the full bhp give the bedt drag time.

nos in its self dont break engines

but some have week points

then the next limiter are say cluch may need one that can handel the power.

but nos is fun

i took my test in a Nos`ed car i borowed it for the Test

dident bother arming nos LOL

as for road the must most enging need in a good spark and may be a higher rated fule pump.

and a progresive controler if you can aford the controler

im going to do about 75bhp on my astra gte without a controller when if finshed it.

the good thing about nos is you dont have to use it all the time

ps the american dry kits are shit

get a nice one from high power if you want nos

HHHmmmm. from £489. mine cost £360 fitted but still if you can afford the extra £129 then fair enough i suppose the stickers that you get on the bottle will bump the price diffrence up i suppose.
