NOS

[carlhodg]

hi all I was thinking of getting a nos kit fitted to my ls1 monaro from wizards of nos I was wondering if anyone else has gone down this route and got any advice about it ?
many thanks in advance

How strong is your bottom end?

[carlhodg]

I presume your referring to the car not mine when the nos would kick in

the engine is stock 29k miles on it I wouldn't be going mad with the nos probably a 100 shot

Listening with interest here.
Thought about this myself. Have you had a quote?

[carlhodg]

not yet I have emailed wizards of nos awaiting some info off them

thinking of fitting an otr cold air intake too if anyone knows anyone who supplies one that would go with my vz cv8 want to keep the maf really but I could allways get it tuned mafless but not sure yet

Please keep us posted.

[carlhodg]

the one I was looking at was but to make sure this would best suit the car ill wait to hear back from them

[Lincsls1]

Do you plan on a DIY install then?

[carlhodg]

no ill let the pros do it if the car was a £500 one I would do it myself but with it being an expensive car i'd rather pay someone who knows what they are doing after it would be a visit to wortec tuners still trying to hunt down an otr inlet atm that will be first on list

The bottom end will be a lot stronger than the top end on a standard LS1.pistons would be the weak point making sure it's tuned properly for noz

I wouldn’t bother tbh for the road. Bottles don’t last long and it’s not terribly popular around these parts. If it was a good idea, one of us would have done it.

I’d say either tune yours NA with a cam, 225 heads (or similar) and intake or go with a supercharger instead.

Some thing different though.
Am I right in thinking a supercharger drive in/drive out solution is around £7k? And with the closure of MF who might do it now? Quite like the look of the ProCharger kits.

Bolt on for £7k and about 520hp aounds about right on 6lbs boost. I now use TopCats racing.

I’d go with a Magnacharger. Centrifugal Superchargers aren’t that popular as they don’t give much boost below 3k rpm and don’t really suit the car for normal driving.

Centro blowers are cool and suits the car in all circumstances

Also LS1 heads are a big restriction

Even on low boost? I must admit I’m biased towards PD blowers but I like the instant shove in the back.
