NOS the valver?

[Wazza182]

Hello there guys ive currently got a clio mk 1 1.8 16v, ive done a few bits to my car for example full mongoose exhaust system, de-cat, induction kit and bbt chip.But ive gone as far as i can without ripping the engine appart, so i was thinking of getting a nos kit maybe 50/75 bhp jet. I just need to know if this is a good idea.Ideas and insults are welcome .


current power 149.8 bhp fly
current torque 142.3 fly
power wheels 110 bhp.

will make a big difference 75bhp jets.....but I would be paranoid about damaging my engine..

yeah the thing is i spoke to andy from bbtuning and cams pullys was coming at 1900 including all the set up, making a record breaking 15 bhp lol, 600 quid on the nos kit = 75 bhp. i know its a way of cheating but what the hell.

dutty is ur mates car fast with the nos?
also did he get any problems?
also what jets was he using?

gotta think about the cost mate.

Does the £600 for the NOS include a controller? as without one it can be a bit of a waste just spinning the wheels. The controller will only use a certain amount at certain throttle levels and revs etc. If it doesn't include this you will have to add a hundred or so £

The n20 doesnt come cheap, i have a mate that uses a 5lb bottle up in 3 runs up the strip. Not sure on the prices of it but its not a cheap thrill

and if you are using as a way of getting a real performance boost then remember that 99% of the time you will be driving a 150bhp car so if its lack of general performance thats bothering you NOS might not be the way.
