Dr T Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 It's arrived! Ben NICE, you and Autosri will be needing a NOS subsection to yourselves soon. when's it getting fitted, what jets are you using and when you getting it on the rollers?

SamN Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Are you fitting the Nitrous? Or selling? I'm confused.. RickyZ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben Posted August 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Cheers Dr T. I'm 90% done with the install. Just need to locate the TPS wire that regulates the voltage and tidy up the rest of the wiring. I'm having the bottle filled tomorrow and am going to start off with 50 bhp jets but will be moving up to 75 hopefully. Autosri has been a massive help! Sam - I'm going to fit the nitrous, go to Gaydon and then see what happens. I do love the car but ......... Dr T and Blair 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben Posted August 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Ok, I've completed the nitrous install. It was pretty straight forward. After having the bottle filled I went for a run with 50bhp jets. If I'm honest I was expecting a little more than what was delivered. It felt more powerful, especially towards the top end. I did have a problem with the solenoid sticking open though and emptying the bottle into the inlet which resulted in this: I went to see Ron at Insane Creations who had a look and replaced the solenoid for me and i put the 75 bhp jet in. We filled up the bottle again and the car was ready for Gaydon. I drove up with Chris with the silver M3 vert. We did a few tests on the motorway and from 50 up to xxx Chris pulled approx 3-4 car lengths on me. Not too bad but I wanted more! Next up is the buy a bottle warmer and gauge as also to move the jet back down the inter cooler hose and then hard pipe it as the firing into the rubber hose isn't great. I'll be getting it on the rolling road soon too to see what power it's making. Comments welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr T Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 awesome looking forward to the dyno read outs. so this is just one jet just before the throttle body? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamN Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Sounds awesome mate I want to come and have a look soon Also really like the look of your knob.. Want something similar for my s14a! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiksilver_TR Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Nice. Shame to hide and cover that aweomse colour Nitrous bottle in the boot though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben Posted August 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 awesome looking forward to the dyno read outs. so this is just one jet just before the throttle body? That's right. Diesels run rich anyway, especially one that's been mapped so all it needs is a nitrous jet before the inlet. I think it might be a little too close though. Sounds awesome mate I want to come and have a look soon Also really like the look of your knob.. Want something similar for my s14a! It's a performance BMW one, I imagine you could adapt it to fit. Nice. Shame to hide and cover that aweomse colour Nitrous bottle in the boot though. Very true. I might move it later but I need the boot space for the kids when we go away.

ben Posted August 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 So it's confession time. I have just realised that all day Sunday I didn't have the nitrous bottle turned on! I've just been out in it now with the 75bhp jet and I love it to bits! Great power delivery and a proper punch in the back. Rolling road results should be in next week. :-) Quiksilver_TR, Proffitt, dazza and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
