hi guys,stumbled across your forum in performance ford,
i have a ford focus turbo conversion,but i need more power,
i've researched into nitrous and believe direct-port
to be the best option to me,i also want the a dual purge kit as it looks
cool (2 fast 2 furious) with the illuminator,which is the best
manufactor in nitrous?

1.Has anyone heard of cold fusion nos?
2.What is quality of cold fusion products?

finally,where is the cheapest source for me to get nos and accessories,
i have several u.s.contacts but not sure about handing money over
to someone in another country who i have never met and any
future problems that may occur,would be alot of hassle sorting out
CAN SOMEONE HELP ME OUT,CHEERS>>>>>>>>>>> :twisted:

just a pointer..

this site is a wizards of nos site, i.e. its for the sale and technical chat of wizards of nos kits.

the coldfuson thing is like going on an alpine website and asking them what the quality of JVC gear is like...

well if you want the best service and nitrous products available on the planet then stay here, ask what you want to know, click in top left corner and buy!!!
not ebay, not america or overseas, but doncaster with products made in good old blighty by a chap with 25 years experience in the field.
If you want cheap then you may not be at the cheapest place, but do you want the cheapest products on your car or the best products?

good luck

Welcome to the board. I hope you find the information on here helpful but as mentioned it's a nitrous board owned and operated by a single nitrous manufacturer so we keep the information strictly to our products.

If you saw the article then I'm sure you saw how Highpowers kit won out in all categories? All kits besides Highpower use the same crude solenoids, lines, and injectors with very minor differences so how Nytrex compared will be close to how any other kit will compare.

sure, but discussing the opposition shouldn't be a bad thing. highpower products are clearly the best, but it's always nicer to give impartial information (although that will be a bit tough here, i admit! :lol: ) so that he can make an informed decision. i'm sure he'll go for a highpower system anyway, but not allowing him to discuss the opposition will make him think (as many ppl that i know already think...) that this is a one sided forum.

and to answer the question of the focus turbo bloke. avoid cold fusion. a bit c#@p, they are!!! ;)

lt wouldnt be practical to give advice on U.S. systems, as you are aware there is no comparison,l cant think of any component of a HP system that is remotely similar its one of those times when no advice is the best advice, as an example we all cary out static tests try that on an american system and you will have a problem. Given the number of over seas visitors we have on the forum its obvious that the other companies are not providing the customer support that is needed , why should HP pay for the up keep of a web site then advise on competitors products? perhaps holley could start a forum then we could ask for advice, cant see it happening somehow.

How can you even compair the two Cossies????

Esscort Cosworth has got to be in the top 10 of best cars ever for getting from A to B in the shortest time in ALL conditions.

Sierra Cosworth is a grandads/caravan towing car with mucho BHP.

im not saying to give advice on the opposition. im merely saying not to simply dust off potential customer queries because they were brave enough to ask about what product is best. if highpower is the best (and indeed, i love my kit!!!!) then why not help explain why?

anyway, its going off course now, so i'll stop. racetested, i love you. nothing personal.

moooo....

Welcome to my forum.

We have nothing good to say about any US kit because there is nothing good to say about them.

Some people think that cheap is good but when cheap can cost you your engine I'm afraid I can't agree. If you wanted the best traction you wouldn't buy remould tires so for the same reason when you want the best acceleration it makes sense to buy the best Nitrous system! :idea:

Just as Denny says (and he should know as he's an American living in America) all American made kits like Cold Fusion, use the same crude industrial components, unlike my own systems which use purpose designed, unique, high quality components.

All the advantages of my systems are detailled in the "Highpower product facts" section at the top of this forum list.

Regards

Isn't the Escort Cossie built on the same chassis as the Sierra anyway?

I might of invented that from some random memory though.

It used the engine and drivetrain from the 4wd Sapphire but the chassis was an all new deisgn, more than twice as stiff and twice as storng as the std. escort. Only used around 50% of the std escort parts.

cheers Ron and nos wizard,i know to avoid cold fusion products now there

cheap because the quality is not there lol,as i'm running a turbo charger

i need to be sure engine failure does not occur as it could be very expensive for me,

the kits provided by wizards of nos aren't cheap but sound reliable,(all these guys can't be wrong) :D

i will save up and see if santa can bring me nitrous in his sack :cheers:

yes trev sells purge kits although these are totally unessesary when using nylon pipe the reasons for which are all over this forum.

one mans cool is another mans sad, to me its like pretending you have a lower quality kit that needs to be purged :lol: :lol: :lol: each to his own

as goes purge illumination whats that....a high intensity led i expect, if you can wire the purge kit im sure your capable of adding as many pretty lights as u wish ;) with no trouble ;)

purge is used to clear old nitrous is it not?

therefore,the purge kit is an important part,

also,what is your opinion on remote bottle opener is it a good thing or not?

one nitrous dealer told me he does'nt sell nos bottle openers i wish i could remember why! :(

Old nitrous?? Nitrous is very stable at the pressure/temp it is stored at, even if it was in your lines/bottle for 1000's of years it wouldn't be any different.

201mph Sierra Cosworth = Grandad car with mucho grande BHP. It aint hard to go fast in a straight line really is it. Stock Escort Cosworth on a track would eat it for breakfast, make it a wet track and it wouldn't even be a race.

I don't really have an overall top 10 to be honest, there's SO many different things you can do in a car, you need a top 10 for each one. ;)

For what its worth, my ultimate road going machine would be a SSC Stylus with around 400-500bhp :D 1000bhp/tonne!! :P

Sierra Cosworth = grandad car?????? WTF are you talking about about? The Sierra in Cosworth form is an absolute classic performance car. Never been a grandads car. Just like the Saphire and the Escort. Much better than most of the modern day "performance cars".

if youwant to know about why one kit is better in our opinion or the opinion of this board theres a whole section on highpower product FACTS!

no your wrong, with nylon purging isnt really nessesary due to small bore of nitrous lines equalling very little niitrous gas to cause a lean situation when activating nitrous. should you go with any otherr manufacturer (if u can call them that as they dont manufactur anything ) then purgeing for opposite reasons might be a good idea. of course nothing stopping you spraying gas lit by lights if u wanted im sure itl be pretty, but if you need to save for nitrous then youll have the money a lot quicker if you read the facts here and buy just what u need. Of course u might need to waste gas in a feeble excuse for bonfire night ;) :lol: :lol: :lol:

remote bottle openers i wish i had the ability to save like u, you must be a saving machine. again not necessary in your attemts to go faster or make pretty patterns and currently there isnt a particulary good one on the market to my knowledge but if u want one add a further 100 to 200 to ya piggy bank. these thing can all be added after if needed.

hope thats helps
