NITROUS OXIDE ( nos / n2o ) advice forum

Looks good... the only thing I would do is have the D-block mounted vertically with the fuel side facing upwards, but I can tell that there isn't much room to work with.

its very tempting to go the full set up seeing as i have all the gear...must buy the car first mind..

You better get moving then!

update

Nitrous recipetent has been acquired..

YES!!!

Now let's get some NITROUS GOIN'!!!

let me get rid of the girly looks first...

Girly stuff?

white wheels....oh and the number plate had bluebell written on it

Nice car. Can't wait for the install pics.

LOL all the more reason to leave them on; lure unsuspecting victims with ease then blast them with the JUICE!

Thanks....

so true...

hi all
hope this isn't a dumb question, but can i use the plastic retainer that comes with the crossfire injector to fit into the mini r53 alloy inter-cooler horn or are they purely for rubber hoses.
Thanks

ahhh i just opened my eyes and spotted the installation instructions, it can be positioned in metal with a 11mm hole and retainer..

I see you're making progress

Glad you sorted the retainer situation without my assistance Ted.

Not sure if the following only applied to early models and if so I'm assuming yours isn't one of them but just so you are forewarned either way;

It was brought to my attention that this kind of Mini would catch fire (EVEN WITHOUT NITROUS FITTED), as a consequence of the spark jumping from the HT leads to the bonnet and igniting the insulation in the process.
HT energy takes the easiest route to ground and under compression that isn't always across the spark plug gap, even NA but add nitrous and it becomes even less of an easy option.

I never heard of any customers suffering the problem after fitting nitrous but I always gave them the advice to fit better HT leads anyway, so that may have been why.

Magnacor HT leads are always beneficial even NA, so even if it's not a fire risk on your model, I'd still fit some for the performance benefits and you'll at least reduce whatever level of risk there may or may not be of it catching fire.

Hi trev..
well my eyes are sore with researching this little car, not a word about fire,but of course i will heed your advice..plenty to do before the nitrous install..its been well maintained and runs good even with the 109 k miles on it lol
fairly quick as is ..run-flat tyres to be ditched and a s/c pulley reduction kit on the list
magnacor will be added for peace of mind...thanks again trev.

slowly getting there ...

You're doing better than me... my nitrous candidate suffered an oil seal failure and dumped all of my oil on the road.

oh no...sorry to hear this

You can cheer me up by posting up some videos of the mini!

i colour coded the door mirror covers...doubt whether that will cheer you up mind



and test fitted the bottle...

well im normally pretty good with location of parts but stumped on this....
Sharpys location of componants was well thought out, trouble is his pulsoids were attached to a metal airbox ..mines plastic






oh and the x is for the crossfire..
