Dont do it!!! Its Cheating!!!
You do it I'm telling Stu on you
If you want to do it, why not... just dont do what you did on the BMW and make sure its set up properly

every car down santa pod is cheating then!!!!its not cheating-it taking things to another level as theres more to it than jus slapping it on injecting and off you go....
basically im asking will the yb take it as sum engines take it better than others
the rs turbo was 220bhp with 50hp jets and went really well
but the bmw inlet was to long with 20hp nos jets and 50hp fuel jet but pinked it twat of and cracked 2 pistons!
so what will the cosworth take?

Its used for going faster, as is a turbo for example, wether people then want to brag about how fast they went I dont really see has much to do with how it is achieved.
Nitrous is an awesome way of making a car multi purpose, you can take a well setup trackday car and turn it into a drag monster as well using just a nitrous kit for example, and unlike other tuning methods, when its turned off the car returns to exactly as it was before.

Please more replies as i'm interested too Tbh i like the idea of a stg 3 cossie with a shot of nos is far more cost effective than cams/ported heads and big turbos etc etc as i like the power mine produces but don't want the expence of the above and imo nos fits the bill nicely

what i was saying chip regards my post ,is that if you spec the car for an intended use then genrally nos shouldnt be needed ?
so if the op in questions not happy with his 350 brake , i wouldnt regard nos as the best option , surely a bigger turbo, remap , ect would be a better option ,
after all nos is a consumeable product , only any use when the bottles got nitrous in it ,
granted on some applications it is deffo worth having ,
but imo for the genral populous its not needed , just brainwashed buy the fast n furious ,
hence why i stand by my comments ,

I couldnt disagree more TBH mate.
For me the key thing about my 3 door is that it is driveable, its a road car and I dont want to have to rev it to 5K to get it to go anywhere, so Im not prepared to put a bigger than T34 turbo onto it, so my power is limited by the requirements which are more important to me, until I apply nitrous, when it opens up a whole new level of performance without any sacrifice to driveability the rest of the time, if I fitted a T4, ported head and hotter inlet cam instead for example to achieve the same gains it would then drive nowhere near as nicely the rest of the time.
Its fairly rare I feel the need to use the nitrous, but its something that its nice to have just for those occasional mad moments.

At normal retail prices for the gas, a kit like mine costs approximately 50p a second to operate.

jays is also now 7 years old !!
i dont think it was all that fair to compare them
ooh not to mention jay wasnt running his usual 28-29 psi we turned it down to 24-25 iirc
he gets carried away with that bloody actuator, every time it comes down it seems to have got another half a turn of preload

Properly used Nitrous is incredibly effective, remember it increases Torque as well as Power. Most only need a single fogger but direct port & 'pushed' at 1500psi with Nitrogen is almost unreal if raw Power is what you require. Chip introduced & advised me .
Its true that once its run out its useless but the same can be said for Petrol. I have a timer on mine so know when its low & ive personally have never run out.
Its not cheap on a 'pushed' 200 shot its about Ł2 a second I guess with a 11lb bottle giving 30secs of usefull usage.

It also depends what your wanting the nos for
Some just want the big hit of easy power (i know the motor has to be built & set up right to run big shots of nos before you all start)
Some just want it for the cooling propertys where a small amount can make a big difference to the charge temp

jays has had an inlet cam put in it to give it a little more up the top, which of course is losing a little down the bottom,

i ran nos on my mk4 escort cos, it does make a huge difference on how the car performs.
its the same principle as normal tuning,you decide what power you want,and when in the rev range you want it,then you fit the correct parts to achive it.
ie standard engine,you can just bolt in a base system, quick set up,and away you go.
if you where running a t4 greys ect,i would reccommend using a maximiser controller,and a bottle heater.
then rods set up is the optimum for controlled delivery.
