Nitros Oxide

[B6S4John]

Is there anybody who's tried Nitros on a 4.2 N/A V8 ? If not why not?

[quattronutter]

shouldnt be a problem,i ran nitrous on my old porsche 928 5.0,wheelspin was a bit of a problem though...

[B6S4John]

I ask, because my best mate is having it done to his V6 Clio, and they recon it will give him 75hp with a (single shot?).

[quattronutter]

nitrous is the way to go on a n/a engine,big hp and torque gains for little outlay,on a forced induction engine you would see much more than 75bhp due to the increased cooling effect of the nitous cooling the intake charge,im just fitting nitrous to my s4...

seen it work very well on big N/A engine.

I've seen an RS6 with NOS, engine bay caught fire if memory serves.

i totally agree with bret...

ive been useing nitrous for about 8 years now on all my cars ..

our golf r32 i run 150 shot on the standard internals still.. and it will leave pretty much anything off the lights...

we are going to be building a 4.2 v8 turboed engine to go into satans child for next years drag racing...
and i will run at least a 500 shot of gas into it .

nitrous is a very safe thing to play with if you cover your ass with internals and a good fuel supply ...

the guy who is building the chassis for satans child runs a normally aspirated enging with a 1000 shot of nitrous

so the answer is............... go for it mate

Just to be clear I have NO idea as to the cause of said fire!

That fire was caused by a loose fuel pipe after the engine was refitted after a gearbox change .
