well all i know is the saxo its on, the nos comes in when he puts foot to the floor, not half throttle or full revs when he puts foot to the floor, | |

Else more strain is put through the engine suddenly. The sudden torque increase would be immense, risking breaking things. Same reason why you shouldn't use it at low rpm. | |

just out of curiousity, why does it need to be full throttle? | |

Yes, thats how they all work as far as I know. It would be sensible to also have a push to make switch on the steering wheel that needs to be held down as well for safety. Dont think these come as standard though. | |

i thought 1 of the ways was to a) turn on the nos b) activate a switch c) the nos starts when the trottal is fully open? | |

Thats how all N20 systems work. They all have a wide open throttle switch so that its only activated when its safe too (at wide open throttle) | |

the saxo has it so he turns the nos on, then when he floors it it kicks in, meaning doesnt have to push the button, | |

ive never heard of a variable 'solenoid' type button under the pedal...usually u just have a push to make microswitch at full throttle and a progressive controller if u want..... | |

Oh yeah, i totally agree, im not a lover of NOS at all. Went out in a saxo with 50bhp jets at the Corsa Vs Saxo day, at top speed the engine sounded like it struggled when he turned it off, it did work, but it wasn't that impressive at all. | |

No, he hasn't got ARP conrods. Just the bolts, Mahale Pistons. The bloke that owned it before him had a 1.4 16v, and got the 1.6, and done the work on it fitting uprated pistons. Setup isnt' dodgy at all, the guy that owned it loved that car to bits and it went through about 5 different changes. Nice bloke too. | |

The american kits are generally low quality and have a higher risk of engine failure than the UK kits. | |
