what that s*it is that's squirting from the bonnet cos the engine is in the back. i'll have to ask him next time i see him.



It's nitrous oxide squirting out the bonnet. What engine does it have?

RS Turbo engine in the back, isn't it?

no used to be now it's a bit of a frankeinstein (spelling?) monster! it's a 2 litre mondeo block with a focus ST170 head and i think cosworth cams plus a garrat (spelling again?) turbo but which i've no idea! oh and the crank is still a 2litre mondeo too in the block! considering it's running 650bhp and weighs f*ck all and has a proper 3 speed crash gear box too. the other car in the clip belongs to his brother.

i'll try and get some more info out of him of actual spec if i can.

Ask him why the nitrous vents at the front when the engine and nitrous solenoids must be in the rear? Makes no sense to me... Actually those thing just waste gas. If the nitrous line is the correct size/route/material you dont need a purge solenoid at all unless you are using an old style US based system with oversized braided lines and stuff..

i will but i'm thinking it's cos a) he gets the nitros cheap and b)cos it does kinda look the nuts
