lots of people run nos on the street even though it is illegal, most say as long as its not hooked up your fine unless you attract their attention...

I've stayed away from it because of the defect factor... you should be able to get away with it, it would just worry me that one day if you get a defect it means you would have to pull it all out to get rid of the defect notice.... otherwise eveyone would do it...

A good mechanic should be able to do a virtually indetectable install, along with a custom stereo will provide and area to hide the bottle... Thats how mine was anyway...

Bit if its a show car.. its lost all of its bling..

THE RESULTS ARE IN!!!!!!!!!

Ok everyone.... im pretty happy with the final results, i could have gotten more, but decided against it as i preferred to stay in the "safe" zone to begin with.

128 kW at the rear wheels without nos

and 152 kW at the rear wheels with nos.

like i said before im happy with the results, as i have stay in the safe zone.

Not sure about S.A.; but in VIC if a car is caught with any part of a NOS kit installed, a fine of $2000 per cylinder applies. That's right ;) $12,000 for our cars. If this is an EPA issue (not roadworthy) then i dare say the fine applies nation wide.

Not to burst your bubble, but is 24rwkw really worth the risk? Especially when a 100% standard GTT produces that power and probably a little more. Put an exhaust, fmic, Pfc and some more boost, on a GTT, and you wont be anywhere to be seen :D .

hmmm...i would be looking carefully at the graph with the NOS

there is only a 24kw increase in peak power (which is about 32 HP)

really there should be around a 55kw increase as NOS is fairly affective at achieving the stated HP gain...

i want to see a torque curve....

umm... nitrous is basically air just with a slightly higher oxygen saturation (33% compared to ~20%ish)

regardless its still air/N2O (oxygen) under pressure being forced into the intake - doubtful that it would account for 18kw, i think the difference is mainly the dyno.

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
