Nitrous on a 7a

[mikeraz1]

I'm thinking about running Nitrous on the 7a. Any idea what sort of power I could go to on the standard engine. Is this a good idea I'm also planning on running a progressive controller
Cheers

There is a guy on audifans doing this.

Can't remember his name, i'm sure Pete will be along to correct me in a moment

It would be good to hear what can be done. The bloke whos doing the work on my car recons its the cheapest way to gain BHP

[stiglet]

I think the guy is using something like a 75 shot.

It would be cheaper in the short term, but at 40 quid to refill a 10lb nos bottle, it ain't cheap in the long term!

can spark hop be a issue with nitrous al turbo application such as 3b, if was then 3b stock internals power level if isnt then aby stock internals power level, plus the power didnt drive the turbo i guess....
the 7a internals are pretty much the same arnt they?

seems nice idea, 7a sitting about 210 using air and hell bit more on nitrous (and air of course)

He's running around the 100 shot iirc, its nogin from audifans and has been running it for a while with good results.

One of the reasons why i'm so keen on it

Well the only difference internally between a 7A and 3B is the pistons, and I don't know how strong the pistons are.

Spark hop issue is pressure related, and with NOS you will be reaching turbo-esque pressures, so yes it would be a problem I guess! But not until you reach silly levels of power.


EDIT: Not more pressure when it actually sparks so I reract that previous comment
