Robbie...'haven't heard if Andy has the 16V hairdryer yet" ..... Actually what Andy uses is not a" hair" dryer but more more like a" sausage grinder "!!

See those two lines going into the injector on his bike?
That's Nitrous, AND an extra fuel line.
All into the same injector.
It's really not as unsafe to an engine as people like to think.

Its safer! Id rather do NOS than 6.5 liter as far as safeness. at least with NOS, some of the charge is very cold and that tends to make for a better combustion profile. you have the same chance of clogging one injector and buring a piston on a stock NA motor, as you do having an issue with a NOS nosile.
the ONLY issue is the hassle factor

I agree with Mark, I had Nitrous on my 944, with NO problems, Ive used nitrous on alot of vehicles, no problems what so ever. Just do your homework and learn about the system before you install it.
I have been pondering the idea of NOS on my shark also.

Nitros makes the intake temperature an average of 75 degrees cooler than the outside atmosphere. The engine runs cooler believe it or not when you have a good size shot on it at the correct mixture. And now days its all a conquered science and all comes in a bolt on kit. Unless you drill and tap the intake tubes (Thats what I would do) as close to the heads as possible. That way you get the nitros into the cylinder still in its consentrate liquid form .MORE POWER BABY!! But back to it I love the stuff and have never had a blow up that was a mystery. I had one blow up on a 1.1 liter motor that I twisted to a solid 300+ horsepower. Rear wheel dyno. Whell what happened was it was pushing the pistons down with such great pressure at 12,000rpms that the cases started to separate and gave enough extra tolerance to allow the #1 piston to climb out of the jug enough to get cockedbefore the upstroke........breaking the piston sleeve and washing off the piston skirt. The force of that blew the head gasket and I oiled the track. Funny thing was I thought I had just blow a head gasket and I had about an hour before my next race. I just loosened the head bolts and retorqued them and ran a 8.19 @ 169 mph. I was very suprized to see all of the debris in the bottom of the crankcase when I tore it down and all of my buddies decided it was devine intervention that the top of the piston and related valves were fine and burning perfect hahaha.. Well that is the only timeI ever had a problem with nitros and I was pushing those cases way beond any suggestions of the nos and nitros express manufacturers. But thats how you get to kick peoples asses.
If you run alcohol with it, you have to run 2x as much volume of fluid to do it but the up side is that at the end of a race your intake will be smoking downward with frost. You can put small tank on the car just for the nitros system an still run on pump gas...........whether you use alcohol or torco 116 octaneor 118.........got to keep the octane up when you are spraying. To keepthe detonation down. If you follow the rules..all of them you'll have NO PROBLEMS....just a lot more Johnson to throe around haha

I have Kiborts old nitrous system that I was selling several months ago but I changed my mind as I was seriously going to put it on my car but now I really need to sell. My dog needs surgery that I am anticipating to not be cheap. 500.00 plus shipping. It is a direct bolt on to 16v and assume that it won't be much to install on a 32v.

This is a great deal guys, especially, since ALL the hard work is done. the nosile is KEY. it bolts directly on to the AC aux air in the front of the plennum. No mods, just attach the equip mount bottle and your off. that nosile adapter i had fabricated is very hard to make. any other way, just would be substandard in my mind as far as equal distribution of the NOS and fuel and ease of assembly. (ie not having to remove the throttle assembly or plennum)

could be a little more difficult on a 32valve, due to where you would have to install the NOS / fuel nosile. probably would be installed just after the MAF . there is no where on the plenum that you could port one nosile. I suppose you could make two ports and use the side plates of the S4, but that would be more work than needed, however, convenient as the plates come off easier than the Throttle body.

Question...
I've got an 82 US stock. Any clue what kind of hp this would develop? Assuming my mototr is is good condition, which I think it is, stock it puts out 220hp. Would this add... say... 50 addition hp? If it's still available, I've some some leftover $$, might be the ticket I'm looking for.

its 10lbs. at 14 shots of 50hp for 14 seconds each, you can see how long it lasts.
100hp will give you 6-8 14 second passes.
it will give 50hp for most any base engine
