I am just building a new website to help all you poor dummies build your own nitrous systems... My old site (as lots of you know) was

and this will be getting repaced with a bigger better proper site as soon as I get chance to finish it. For the moment its about 25 percent done, and here.

But you will all be able to buy all the bits ready modified that you cant make/do for yourself soon!!! Mail order. This should upset the maket a touch!
I think it's a great idea. If you force people to uderstand the issues involved then they are possibly less likely to ask the daft questions.
Talking specifics, what is a sensible amount of boost to use in an engine that you don't necessarily want to overstress? I'm talking about a CBR1000 engine which I believe makes about 135 german horsepower as standard. I understand the bit about the extra grunt arriving instantly regardless of revs so, on the grounds that this engine will reularly see nearly 10,000rpm in my locost it seems that N2O would be usefull for pulling it into the power band. That's why I was thinking about a small dose of boost - Perhaps 25bhp - which could get the engine onto the cam quicker. I know the concept of having too much power is another planet to you, but I'm a bit girly that way - had a Sylva with a bog stock 1600 zetec and that scared me ;-) My idea was 25bhp boost coming in on full throttle at say 4500 rpm anfd then being gradually throttled back as the engine starts to make it's own power anyway.
Sorry if these are 'fool' questions, but I need to understand the best way. Will keep reading ..........
The CBR1000 motor cost 130 quid with carbs, CDI, genny, starter, fuel pump, engine loom. It picked itself really ;-) I 'would' have opted for a GSXR1100 motor - it's talents are legendary :-)
Fan bloody tastic. Last night I was thinking about what I'll do to the Ka after I get some decent brakes. The ability to overtake is next on my list :P.
