nitrous advice
« on: October 04, 2008, 11:41:11 PM »
My nephew wants to fit nitrous oxide to his Evo 1V (mad) and is looking for any info on the pros/cons/best kit etc.
He's a competent mechanic (currently building a WW2 Willys Jeep on fast air) but he/we have never played around with the laughing gas so i thought i'd try to tap the wealth of clever buggers on here  ;)
I'm sure it'll all end in tears  :)

Hot rod or drag racing forums might be a better source if info.

what power is he looking for? on the evo i would go traditional route; you can go software, big turbo, big injectors for the same money if you hunt around and get better performance without blowing things up..

if you are going nitrous, get progressive controller or whatever they're called as dumping +100bhp instantly onto the driveline will be quite a shunt and could twist the 4wd's mellon  8)
