HI,

I currently have a 1330cc engine with Vmax supercharger kit.

I am wondering how easy it is to install NOS on this. I have been told to look for a ZEX Wet NOS kit, but that is about all I know, any more suggestions would be great!

I searched around but I couldnt find many threads on this topic so I was wondering if anyone who has done it before has posted up some step by step pictures.

Cheers,

Ian

zex, won, cold fusion.... all *woman of ill repute* each other off, all much of a muchness really.

you will need a single point wet kit and a digital progressive controller to "pulse" the solenoids and reduce the initial hit.. it will allow the amount of Nitrous to be increased over about 10 seconds and will reduce the chances of catastrophic failure.

PS.. NOS is another brand name (Nitrous Oxide Systems)

Yep, you should see in good power increase as it will act like an intercooler.

unless you shall be running the NOS all the time, you will be needing an intercooler

Why ? An intercooler isn't essential, though it is obviously of benefit.

I think I will definately look into an intercooler if it increases performance!

Ah, I thought it might be something someone had done! The reason I ask is so I can see what needs to be done, is it more common on a turbo? And is it pretty much the same principles on a turbo as it is a supercharger?

The thing is, turbo/ supercharger properly set up is going to give 150bhp??? (correct me if i'm wrong) and adding nitrous to that (you are looking at 10-50bhp depending on how you like it.) i should imagine you will be doing quite a bit of engine rebuilding.

Urbantricker, if it's a suck through setup your running you won't be able to add an intercooler.
