jparkes43 27 #1 Posted February 23, 2015 Well i have been wanting to do something unique to my Juliette tractor for a while now. as if it wasn't enough already so when i had my little motorised bike (charlie will remember) i was looking for little upgrade parts and came across this little thing, yes it is cheap and probably wont do much but why not? (in the words of ian ) so it is a little nitrous kit that is put into the carb spacer and then activated via a little valve. its probably a load of poo but we will see hey. let me know what you think. as i say this isnt a very serious mod but it was cheap and there you go. james Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ian 2,417 #8 Posted February 24, 2015 You do know it won't make your Wh any faster don't you... Things such as gearing and the governor will limit it to it's normal top speed.. If it works you might get to 5mph a whole 0.00004 of a second faster than normal.. When NOS burns in an engine it produces oxygen which weakens the mixture.. To counter act that you also have to add extra fuel... It's the ability to burn the extra fuel that gives the extra power... NOS in a nutshell... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NOS in a nutshell... i did know what n2o did. right i completely forgot about all that gearing and other stuff thanks for letting me know. i will give it more fuel with the jet needle james Edited February 24, 2015 by jparkes43 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meadowfield 1,900 #10 Posted February 24, 2015 your engine is governed for speed consistency and power output, the top end revs is set by the governor. If you adjust the mixture to make it rev more all it will do it make the head hotter and valves burn... If you adjust the governor to get the revs up you will inevitably break the crank, con rod or bend the valves (when they hit the piston) Don't do it !

C-101plowerpower 548 #11 Posted February 24, 2015 in this case it wouldn't be named laughing gas if you put it thru that engine, it would be called crying gas, because that stuff wil wreck your engine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 71 #14 Posted March 1, 2015 I have the exact same thing except it shoots Co2. Use it to blow out clogged drains 4 Charlie Smith, the showman, jparkes43 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jparkes43 27 #15 Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) My nitrous kit came today and i got to make a video of it running and activating the nitrous, there is a slight power gain and a ever slight speed increase, i need to tune the carb to make the most of it but even with a normal setup it seems a good idea. its not the best upgrade i have done but it looks goos and actually does work!!!! a video of it driving will be out soon!! james Edited March 13, 2015 by jparkes43 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
