How much nitrous oxide can an XE take

[Mike]

Take within reason that it (safely) :confused: will be rigged up to a progressive controller aswell.

id probrabley say 50 brake jets with no internal mods! but then ive not really had any experience with it apart from my mates gold thats runs 75 brake jets and he has gone to town on that!!

Internal mods being steel crank & H rods?

[dj_wudgey]

my mates golf has mahl pistons some differant rods ect ect his is on a progressive controller he did have 100 brake jets in there but jabasport backed it down to 75 so his engine didnt go up in smoke

[Sloth]

seen a std 2.0 8v take a 150 shot regularly. if its got the fuel to match and is set up properly 100 is fine on an xe.

[dj_wudgey]

well thats me shown but im going off not much experience with the stuff lol

[Mike]

Well ar kids on the UK Civic forum (used to have a Civic Turbo) an hes saying the general rule of thumb is 10bhp per cyclinder. 30bhp per cyclinder is classed as "lethal" but doable??

[dj_wudgey]

well go for it mate!! i dont know where your having it done but be wary wizrds off nos in doncaster arent the best!! when they fitted it to my mates golf they fitted it so it sprayed directly on to the throttle flap which after quite abit off use froze open lol there was no engine damage but some damage to some boxers lol

[Mazz]

Wanna buy my Wizards setup/Maximiser Mike?

[Mike]

Wanna buy my Wizards setup/Maximiser Mike?

Is it a full kit, ready to install/test kinda thing? Maximiser as in pro controller?

Blady hell thats a bit posh? What poundage bottle you got with your kit?

[Mike]

Apprently Phil Sutton used to run 160bhp with no controller in his Corsa lol lol (LET engine BTW)

100 jets will be about 50 at the wheel maybe then? (at a conservative guess!)

[burgo]

mike the place to ask is on vauxsport, the blokes who run that purple corsa are on there and are nitrous gods

[Mazz]

11lb i think - its right on front of me - well under the PC desk!

Oooh good stuff. Er pm a price, ill sleep on it as im currently looking into several avenues of cheap drag strip power at the mo & in no rush (not even got the car yet just a load of parts lol)

[burgo]

its worth it imo, especially with something as fickle as nitrous, can go very wrong very quickly using the stuff

[Sloth]

[Mazz]

I'll dig all the stuff out first Mike, see exactly what i've got - i'm away tomorrow for a week though so its a good job your not in a hurry :p

[Mazz]

[Mike]

If you could please, ill bear it in mind without a doubt ;) (saves on postage an get to see what im buying lol)

I dont pick up the car until Sunday anyway & then gotta build the fecker so got plenty time like.

[Sloth]

sorry laptops had a fit....

[Mazz]

shweeeeet :) i'm never going to use it tbh, its been sat here for ages now - tbh a little scared to use it, not on the road etc, just plumbing it in,fuelling etc etc - its quite techy

off to bed now, i'm funked :( damn early shifts...

might have to change my avatar then too :(

Its only going on a £200 engine to start with Luke.

[burgo]

yes but if you melt that one for the sake of simply signing up to another forum then you've gotta shell out another £200-£300, it will soon get expensive dude

[wwmnw]

Gaz'D is running huge amounts in his C20XE Corsa B http://www.vauxhall-sport-forum.com/phpBB2/progress-as-last-t12969.html

Hmm valid point. Still CBA to join tho lol as the answer will merely be, "fit a LET with a big turbo & then n2o on that" where as im literally after cheap thrills with an XE in a properly sorted chassis,.

Am i tripping or has he basically plumbed in TWIN direct port kits to run 260bhp per shot, a run :eek: :eek:

Engine spec is pretty basic aswell!!! H rod, Omega pistons, headwork & TB's.

[Sloth]

your right. i spoke to him at pvs last year, he was looking for 300bhp jets at the time.

loon...............

it runs two bottles, 4 solenoids and a lot more nitrious than mentioned above lol

They have just this week gone onto low comp pistons due to decking the old ones so much they kept melting lol

[wwmnw]

I wasn't 100% sure on what spec his engine is so didn't really comment on that, just know he uses alot of nitrous and remembered something about him running 300 brake at one point.

[lewisvalver]

i just run a measly 25 shot of nitrous with my xe and even that makes a big difference!!

[Jon_nova1]

Just run 50BHP to start with, and see how the engine copes and get it tested to make sure it can cope, the only thing you'll need to buy if you want to upgrade are bigger jets

[John]

Good thread Mike, was thinking about this myself!

[Stuart]

iirc Chip ran something like 100+ through a shagged std XE at the novaload vs rb pod day

Yea I read something somewhere on VX last night about them fitting low comp pistons
