How much does a good basic kit cost?? How much is fitting?? Im interested when get car of the road getting it ready for next year.

DusheR · 12th July 2009, 13:45

Around 500 new. Unsure on fitting costs

DusheR · 12th July 2009, 14:56

Actually have a look here

A short drive for me. Will look into these. Nitrous express anyone rate them?

adzvtr · 12th July 2009, 16:21

looks like the same setup i got m8, had no problems with the kit its self

maddison_vts · 12th July 2009, 17:35

from tests that have been carried out by magazines etc wizards of nos comes out on top every time. it gives the most power eg. a 50bhp shot with nitrous express gave 40bhp on the rollers, a 50bhp shot with WON gave 46bhp iirc. also, its easier to get spare parts for and the kits are meant to be far more reliable with very little/no need for servicing.

Ive just been talking to me mate and he was saying the same thing. Some thing about the path through the solenoids. Good to know that there is somewhere close to me though. The remote bottle opener and progressive controller might be added to my setup

sorry to hijack this...but approx how much are people paying to get their bottle refilled ? and where abouts are you goin?

VtsTom · 12th July 2009, 23:04

When i had mine, Nitrous was £5 per Lb so if you have a 11lb bottle, your looking at around £50 depending on what they use to fill the bottle (pump or gravity feed)

adzvtr · 12th July 2009, 23:21

ye iget mine for £5 a lb usually it is 45 to 50 a fill on my tank, gravity fed, looked into getting a filling set myself, its 480, for the bottle and 80 rental on the filling line, but only 2 peole i now use it here, so woulnt b worth it for me

rwillis89 · 12th July 2009, 23:35

after a fair bit of research found this to be the cheapest. anyone used them before?

completely wrong on all parts of that mate. i've got nitrous fitted, i've declared it on my insurance and i've been pulled over by the police with it fitted. the police just laughed at the idea of having nitrous on a saxo.

anyway, i've used it on road, i've told my insurance i use it on the road and when the police stopped me, i told them i use it on road. its illegal if you break the speed limit but not if you use nitrous.

its like saying a turbocharger is illegal on the road because it enhances performance

i can't remember which company it was but one car maker gave nitrous as an optional extra from factory.

lol. ok. thanks for that mate. makes a lot of sence now in a weird sort of way. i dont have a clue where i heard it from though.....

DusheR · 13th July 2009, 00:42

Ive found a place that does the filling at £5/lb thats literally round the corner. Love it

Good read. WON is the way to go

jsdvtr · 14th July 2009, 17:28

I think i might get nitrous instead of vts engine as this guy is taking piss tbh. Waiting for 3 months now. Would be fun to have to thou. How much are the progressive controllers? Is WON the way to go then?

jsdvtr · 14th July 2009, 17:33

Is this the one to go for

Thats a good kit but i would go for the TPS and 11lb bottle as a 5lb bottle will last you seconds!

DusheR · 14th July 2009, 18:56

Yeh 11lb bottle is a must. I worried how fast the bottle will be used like ha.

maddison_vts · 14th July 2009, 20:41

an 11lb bottle will give 4 minutes of use on a 50bhp shot.

however, if you don't have a bottle warmer and progressive controller you will waste a fair bit of gas so your looking at even less than that.
