ph1 172 NOS??

[BoomOne]

I have never read on this forum of anyone slapping some NOS into their 172's?
Anyone ever done this or know of anyone who has? Good or bad thing to do?

It's not a 172, but ClarkieV6 has it on his V6 and probably knows a little bit about it

would be fun, but dont think the engine, gearbox ect could cope with it

really?? i have heard from a few peeps that if you get a smallish kit that it will do no harm to the car at std form. Also, not sure if its a fat mission to fit to a 172

 

[ChrisR]

A small kit with a progressive controller should be fine, it's when you bang in an extra 50bhp in one go things will start breaking

why dont ppl do it then?

had nos on my vts, you need to use a controller and a bottle warmer kit for best effects, i went from 25bhp jets to 50 to 75 jets, starting at 40% to 99% so you knew that it was working and got an even flow. wizards of nos are the best kits. just got to be sensible with it and id get if fitted by someone who knows what they are doing as my first set up cost me a bottom end!

ouch. that sux

Insurance, cost, the fact you have to top it up etc, it's all hassle

 

[Ard1]

having said that it used to be great fun and ment i had a mpg friendly car when not using it and a performance car when i was. just depends what your after. i soon wanted more and got boddies and cams etc

 

[BoomOne]

mmmm... might just get it in the near future

Anyway so long as its done properly its ok but that expensive.

Cost or running/doing it right/risks.
