People are so gullible.

My old-fashioned linear arithmetic suggests it would take 6lb.

Err oops....

You are correct of course! Maths is not my strong point. Still MILES from being correct though!

Those NO-bottles look very very similar to the 12 grams CO2-cartridges for airpistols, paintball-guns, fire-extinguishers and stuff.

Tom De Moor

Yep they are. So 12 grams... Ooo thats good for their claimed "60bhp shot" for about 2 cylinders once each.... And without fuel...

preignition

In light of new info (12 grams of N20) which is 0.0321 of a pound.... IF you were to add fuel as well, at the correct time and ratio somehow (which this "kit" doesn't!), it would give the claimed 60bhp extra for:

Cool! Yer mates would be impressed - not.

The NO whipped cream "whippets" are 10cm3, 8g net.

Gareth

Oooo Then they are even more rediculous! I might start selling these! What fun - all the really stupid people will send me money...

What about homeopathy nitrous injection then?

It's mixed a thousand times with the air first, so that it is a catalytic effect instead of simply brute force, and is reputed to give up to 100 bhp per small tube bolted to the underside of the bonnet (doesn't even have to be connected to the inlet tract, or indeed the engine at all, to have its full effect.

And you can add them together, the net effects are cummulative.

Additionally, insurance companies charge nothing extra for these homeopathy mods so you can declare them without a fear of the premiums going up.

I should start selling some on ebay I think.

It looks fine to me.

The Dragonballs kit, well, it's basically a sodastream machine to "add bubbles" to your engine, although the advert doesn't say if the co2 cannisters have to connect to the engine or whatnot.

Reading the advert carefully.

It doesn't claim any power increase, and the warranty is limited to you sending back the kit. Sure, you pay for the shipping from america, and pay for it to be shipped back, and they'll give you back the winning bid cost that you paid for the kit itself which they'll sell to someone else.

Except you already used it, else how can you be dissatisfied? It's clearly "one shot" disposable cartridges which, well, are used up now eh? They're not refundable. But even then, I could send out magic pixies in a box and if you pay shipping and returns, I'm not losing anything from you and make my money on the lamerz who continue to insist, against all the odds, that their tiny little learner driver motor "has nitrous" and just make their claim without actually taking on anything with an engine larger than 1 litre.

Everyone wins. Up to a point.

I laughs, verily, merrily I laughs.

Believe me, some idiot will buy them....

God (???) keeps on making better idiots...

Are you sure you aren't confusing that with placebo nitrous injection?

Or the CO2 bottles from self inflating life jackets.

What about this bit, "If you are looking for a HP boost that is NOT a threat to your engine and is easy to install and use, then this is the kit for you!"

Well the HP claim "would" work ish, if it was set up extremely badly and had enough exess fuel for 60bhp already, and only for .3 of a second...

And it IS a threat to 99.9 percent of cars because they are not set up too rich already. So if they are close to detonation it may be enough to start it off...

You're forgetting about the calorific value of the whipped cream. Could we be looking at a future where engines die of arteriosclerosis?

Thats based on a mail i posted AGES ago!!!!!! Who is the scum bag ripping off other peoples thoughts. Ok chaps ... go onto googles usenet search, type in

Not in my case they all seemed to die of more severe deseases.

One of mine died of running over the crankshaft (FAR FAR FAR too much Nitrous! FAR FAR FAR to low rpm) Having fun on a breakers yard V8 rover. Cheap! And its how to learn.

Or detonated to death...Pistons, rings, valves, plugs, all melted/bust etc Cause? Beer night before at York raceway.(Shell optimax, wrong fuel can! the C14 was in the same sort of plastic containers) 15,5 to 1 compression,

And in one case an extra crancase ventilation breather hole... Not enough gears, long downhill bit on the M63 going from west to east. RPM a bit "high" The bit of con rod that was on the left crank punched holes in every bloody thing, including sump, engine case, etc. Oil, water everywhere. And it did it at very high speed WITHOUT nitrous... First I knew was lots of sudden smoke and vibration. 4 speed sierra 1.6 pinto. So next was 2 litre. Then V8 rover, etc...

I managed that in a Dolomite Sprint, a hole about 6in by 9in. It's very impressive when it happens, isn't it?

Err yes but not for very long...
