ta chris...
the guy who owned the pug said with a solid engine build to start of with, he has had no problems running it. (he even admitted that the engine isn't that high spec'd in the grand scheme of things)
I've contacted a specialist and he's told me that if i hav enough cash to get exactly what you said chirs, done properly then on a well built c16se it should handle it all.
I was looking for something unique, so it looks like it's gonna be a c16se NT40 :-)
+ it's bloody cheap to get done compared to a good 1.6 turbo conversion.
Only bad thing is that you don't get the benefit 24/7. And i'd never use it on public roads.
but the again, i'd say you'd be replacing parts alot less often with a well setup nos system compared to a cheap turbo conversion.
Take neil for example, obviously his was a damn good engine, and proabbly spent alot of money onit, it still went pop tho...
rite, i had a Tinker with the old SR today, and it seams that i alerady have an SRi cylinder head (among other things?) :|
my plan is, NOS kit from demon tweeks, bolt on my weber's once ive matched up the gasket's etc.
each "arm" of the inlet manifld will be tap to a 12mm fine thread to accomodate a NOS injector, then rig it all up and get it R/R'd (fund's permitting of course, cuz im moving house soon!) :P
oh, and i want a purge kit for sure! :D
Engine rebuild...
Progressive injection/boost control...
Pro set-up costs.....
bottle heater.....
it's not as easy as it first looks....
i've worked out that basically a 2 stage system with progressive boost control (could see up to 50+bhp on a 1.6) is an essential unless your running aseriously top-notch engine. Should keep you away from rebuilds.
but to me ?1000 seems a good price for reliable turbo performance at the flick of a switch
Lets just get a point clear. Nitrous oxide injection isnt illegal on a road car. The points are IIRC you are not allowed pressurised gas lines IN the vehicle, and you insurance must be told
Chris
insurance aint a problem, its either NOS+T40's or a nice spanky escort cossie! :twisted:
Reckon a X14/16XE head is the way to extract real power :lol:
lol i know what i'd rather have between a standard 1.4sr on some 15hp nos jets, and a escort cosworth. lmao
+ i've got it priced up..
a progressive injection controller,that would allow you to program a sort of 2 stage system through 1 line is roughly about ?500'ish.. that'l give you a rough idea about what it Actually totals up to
+ the cheap kits don't come with a controlling system that automatically alters the mixture with changing bottle pressures.
