that seems alright. Have you looked at that comparison I linked? Does that switch they use just mean that in every gear on full throttle the nitrous will be activated? I think it was just the higher gears they could be used?

So basically with a flick of a switch your car is producing x amount of horsepower throughout the rev range? That sounds perfect. Think Im going to just try the 25bhp jets first. Will be getting the kit soon. Bought a nitrous manual for ebay aswell. Help me get a better understanding

Where has everyone mounted the toggle switch? Im fitting pillar gauges, oil and nitrous pressure but I think I want to add an air/fuel ratio gauge just to keep at eye on things.
I fancy making a custom fibreglass jobby but where should I put it? I had two ideas, either on my right of the steering wheel below the dash, like hanging beneath or in the centre in front of the gear stick. Only thing about that is I wanted to mount a little screen there. Hmmm ideas?

just put it where you feel like to be honest, as long as its in reach. mines on the lower part of the dashboard near the heater controls but not on the centre console if you get me? tucked out of the way

Yeh I know what you mean. 1 more question. If I put a cooler grade spark plug will this affect the performance of my engine when Im not using the nitrous?

i used a cooler grade plug that i got from wizards of nos and to be completely honest i couldn't tell any difference! i went back to bosch super 4's afterwards.
they advised me to use a colder grade plug but i can't tell the difference so i probably won't bother again unless i increase the shot anyomore.

Does nitrous make you car overheat with the car revving harder, etc? My mate reckons it does but i said it doesnt with nitrous being cold gas that it cools it more than makes it overheat??

the engine works harder but like you said nitrous is very cold, comes out of the bottle at -200 C iirc.
your mate is probably trying to put you off it because it will make him a tad jealous i would have thought.

jeez, with the name you've got, i'd say its for the good of the world that you don't get any form of performance enhancer. let alone nitrous.
