Guest MK1gaz Posted April 19, 2008 Report Posted April 19, 2008 Not hard to fit really but you must get the engine set up properly or else it's going to melt . So it's best to get the gas system set up on a rolling road after it's installed . If it runs lean when the gas comes or your ignitions not retarded enough then the engines killed !!!!!!! You really need forged pistons in an ideal world and a wire rung or an uprated turbo type head gasket . Best to start off with a low bhp spray as nitrous gives a huge torque increase and this will kill your clutch almost straight away unless you already have an uprated item . If you want a professional gas install that's set up and tuned on a dyno then speak to Chris at www.torqueofthedevil.com as he's fitted and set up lots of them

brettp Posted April 20, 2008 Report Posted April 20, 2008 just keep an eye on the fuel presure and back the timing out a few degrees for every 50 bhp added are you going to tap the manifold ie a jet for each cylinder or just have one to feed the lot i say go for it the difference it make s is un real i got my car under 5 seconds to 60 using it also set up the activation switch on the throttle so it cant come in uner 3000 rpm
ASBO CAPRI Posted April 20, 2008 Report Posted April 20, 2008 I bought an edelbrock 100hp shot plate nitrous kit (to be used with a 4 barrel carb) for my chevy powered capri on ebay for £300. It comes with 50hp 75hp and 100hp jets. 100hp would probably be ok but near your limit on a stock bottom ended rover. The manual that comes with the kit explains everything u need to do to get it running. You could use the kit on its own but i also bought an MSD rpm activated digital window switch to activate it. Basicly this wires to an msd ignition and another wire from it is rigged to your nitrous switch and you can set the rpm points your nitrous is activated and deactivated. much safer than manually flicking a switch on and off.
