What a waste!

Judging by the specs this mini does 100hp at the crank. 300hp kit would seriously detonate this thing! i wonder if the NOS is working at like 1/10th of it's total capacity ...

300HP kit doesn't really mean 300hp as an engine can only consume what it can. You see a nice little chemical reaction occurs in which fuel burns within another medium giving a much greater explosion as burning in air is innefficient as air is 80% nitrogen and only about 10% oxygen. But burning within the N2O is much more efficient, many other compund or elements could be used but N2O is cheap, very cheap in fact. So a 300HP kit is probably what it's cabable of doing but wouldn't actaully do. I saw a mini dyno readout in miniworld for a 1100 using a 50 hp nitrous kit, it gave it a ~35hp boost.

I have spoken to Wizards of Nos in the UK about a kit to suit my old mini before I bought the GTi Mini. They had a kit to suit mini, through a HIF44 carby.
The kit itself was 439 pounds with out a bottle, (to save on freight cost) and then you get a controller for like 230 pounds. The controller was not essential though.
This came with 25hp jets to start. once you had installed the kit and run it without endangering yourself, with a motor explosion. you write back to them and they send out either a set of 50hp jets or 100hp jets depending on your build.

big-81t's propensity for blowing gearboxes abd driveshafts forced peter to again seek help from mini and moke world.
He now swaps cogs via an "unbreakable" ( :roll: ) straight cut close ratio synchromeshed (duh) four speed (duh) gearbox.

I have a OZ NOS kit for the supercharged mini. Did some checking with QLD transport. The old rules stated that you could have the kit fitted as long as it was not functional ie bottle disconnected. The rule has changed to state that "the fitment of nitrous oxide equipment is not permitted" This translates into not being allowed to have the solenoids, plate, or any part of the system fitted. I thought what the hell, a defect notice and I can remove the equipment, hey presto rego again. But the use of NOS on the road comes under the guidelines of the EPA. Just like using aviation fuel in a car, the fine is a maximum penalty of 100 penalty units (ie $8000)

I've seen NOS on pocket bikes. They use the cream/soda bulbs you can buy in boxes of 10 or so at the supermarket. Very cool

300hp through a mini gearbox :? I don't think so

thats rather odd, because those things are filled with carbon dioxide, a product of combustion (not a reactant)
in fact, billy and camel played with some last weekend at MDU... care to enlighten us what you did and what soda bulbs have in them?

over here these small metall bulbs are filled with 10ml N2O if they are made for cream

You can get them with carbon dioxide or nitrous oxide. It depends on if you are making whipped cream or fizzy drinks. :wink:

Can be either, CO2 used for soda drinks but N2O used for cream. You can buy kits that look like bike pump hoses with a valve that pushes on end of bulb for shot which is released into manifold by threaded hole.

Anyone done a chlorine injected car? As in Cl something? Or an other Chlorine compounds? Because in chemistry we we're tested the oxidisation and ruducation, or 'redox' of certain elements. We burnt magnesium in air and it went good. Burnt magnesium in 99% pure oxygen and went 10 times better. Much fsater and burnt so much quicker. The we burnt magnesium again in pure chlorine (teacher did it as chlorine is a yellowish gas which will kill you) and it went crazy and the glass jar splita ppart from intense heat. The only thing crazier would be Fluorine but that is so reactive that it's not possible to store on it's own with a few exceptions. Chlorine would be the best...Possibly a little too good, and expensive too.

Quic studying of the periodic table suggest 3 possible elements, N (nitrogen) O (oxygen) or Cl (Chlorine) pure oxygen would work 10 times better and much more efficient. But Engine would probably explode.

Oh yeah about emmision, well I guess, If all perfectly burnt no issue. Except with chlorine some very dangerous things can be made.... But oxygen and nitrogen seem alright if done safely and mathematically.... I know it would be illegal, but that doesn't mean no one has tryed it. I mean talking about Pure oxygen engines is getting very close to how a rocket engine works so I think that's why no ones done it.... :lol:
