hay im just wondering as i have got a nos kit sitting in my room awaiting 2 be installed on my 1200 ute ca18det...
whilest not getting installed i would like 2 try and put it on my 120y with a mild a12 should i or is it gonna go bang! on like 25-50hp shot..?
i was thinking tapping a hole into the manifold and away i go..
should i do it or not..?

i say have a bit of a read about it then if you want to give it a shot then go for it but i'd say only do it if you dont need your car if it does go wrong! either way let us know how it goes

Remember, It's all to do with the NOS/Fuel ratio. The carby will supply enough fuel/air..in the right mix so don't worry about that part. You might find that you need to retard the timing under NOS. So the only way to tune it will be to experiment with the flow to the NOS fuel injector. If you are thrashing it and the fuel doesn't keep up to the NOS..then you burn the top out of your pistons.. Just like that suck-through turbo setup where the guy was using an intercooler.

Most of this kind of experimental stuff should be done on a dyno with a good wideband A/F Ratio Meter.

Are you blokes talking about NOS [New, old stock] or NOx [nitrous oxide]?

I am always on the lookout for NOS parts, but NOx is another name for chemical cubic inches.
Chris

They are talking about Nitrous Oxide Systems (NOS)
I'd say go for it as I've always wanted to see how an A series motor would go under NOS.

"Nitrous Oxide Systems" is a specific brand name, not a generic term for NOx in the same way that Datsun is not a generic term for cars, or automobiles.
Chris

In common modern culture "NOS" IS a generic term for NOx thanks to the fast and the fairiest.

I think NOS is used to describe any nitrous oxide (N2O) system on a car...I mean the sticker you have to display on your car says NOS regardless of the brand doesn't it?? I don't know.

Correct Timo, you have to run a sticker to highlight the location of the bottle. Yellow diamond with black letters

Nitrous Oxide Systems is a BRAND name & the familiar NOS sign with the arrow is the company logo.
They are not the only supplier of NOx systems, but are probably the best known.

NOS, for "New, Old Stock" has been a widely used term since the late 60's
If someone turns up with a 30 year old part that has been sitting on a dealers shelf since '75, then that part is still new, but is is old stock, hence new, old stock, or NOS
