NOS system

[RX Buck]

Did anyone see the NOS system at Haydays. 60 horse at the touch of a button. From what I seen this may be a good option for the guys that can't afford a turbo. The system only costs around $700. It looked failty simple. They said the bottle would last about 6 minutes (button constantly depressed). I think this would last a whole weekend of riding (after the first few rides I would amagine) for the flatlanders anyway. I think this would be so neat to ride. Has anyone had any experience with this setup or seen one in action?

its not just for flatlanders we use it in mountains all the time and also one of the big deals with nos is its just as costly as turbo
once you buy a trubo its paid for
you got too keep buying nos all the time
whne you use it average 250 fills a year at 12$
thats 3000$ so you would spend 3000 every year
i know i have nitro on my 1287 price motor
and its not what you think
6 minuts on a bottle is for a 2 lbs bottle were on a rx1 will you mount a 2 lbs bottle you will need atleast a 1.5 or smaller so your 6 minuts just drop to about 4
and well you would need to fill yout bottles up atleast 10 times a weekend
dont say you will not use it all the time cause THATS A BIG FAT LIE
I ALSO SAID THAT TOO AND YOU KNOW WHAT?
I USE IT EVERY TIME I CAN I DONT LIKE TO BE IN THE BACK ..
and i like to be the talk of the guy at the bar

and for your 60 hp it verys on the jets you use for the nos
you can have jet give you up too 100 hp or 30 hp depends on what you want to do
and for how long
so realy nos is not a ting for everybody if you have the money then do it but its very costly thurst me i know 1st hand im shure nospro will add to this also

That sucks, I was kind of excited about this, I did not think I would go through 250 bottles a season. If that is true then you are right. It would definelty be better to go with the one time 5,000 dollar price tag for a stage two turbo. As long as you stayed with the rx for a few seasons. Oh well, it is a cool idea though!

You're forgetting one thing, hitting the bottle does not change your clutching. If the bottle is off it's lazy, or if clutched for 140hp you'll overrev.

 

[ExTrEeMF7]

yes it dose change your clutching
big time
when you use the bottle
if you dont use then your way off base
and you got a dog

They did say that the NOS increasd your rpm by 300 however he said that they had it clutched for stock. Now, if you are talking about a 2 stroke 300 rpm can make or break you but on the 4 stroke 300 rpm hardly makes a difference in the horsepower curve. If you clutch it to run 10,250 in stock form then when the button is hit it will increase the r's to around 10,550. If I remember correctly the engine make its peak power at about 10,400. I think you would be able to run the stock clutching with the nitrous kit installed. What do you think?

 

[ExTrEeMF7]

yes somwhat you can but you will still need to fine clutch it
and if you dont know how to us NOS your in a big pile of crap
i have been using NOS for 8 years not just in sleds
but in my 1/4 mile cars also
it can brake you just as fast as it can give you power
if you got lots of cash to play the NOS game then giver ,,,, but if your scard to blow up , then its not for you

Marc is right, you can go thu a lot of nitrous in a seasons time, if you use it all the time. I have been running nitrous for 16+ years now, on quads, cars, trucks, and sleds. It is definetly for someone who wants horsepower when you need it. The big problem is your limited to 50 horse, give or take 10, on the RX1 with stock timing. If Schnitz would only get back to me on a timing retard, we could adjust timing, and run 150 horse into the motor. The next thing is clutching, if you are running 10,200 rpm at full throttle, it will raise it 500 rpm's, with 50 to 75 horse. I have it on my quad pictured in the photo section, and it is set for some major horse gains. When I hit the button, it revs up over 900 from just the motor rpms. It is really a kick in the pants. I don't mind the cost of filling the bottle, If I am lake racing, I will have a supply of nitrous with me. I am in the process of putting on my RX1 as we speak, and will be done soon. I am going to run the same clutching I am running on asphalt, but I have the weights loaded, so it will handle it without revving too much. The bottle needs to be 70-80 degrees also, so pressure is there. The kits have heaters for the bottles. I guess it is in the hands of the beholder.

All of these guys are right,that is why i did not install the kit that came from turbo turtle,it only has room for a 2lb bottle and at full wack you really only have room for 1 min. full throttle blast because temp is so important,if it is not at 80 plus degrees u will leave nos in the bottle unused,now that is a bummer cause u only have so much and because u need more than one bottle w/u at a time they cost alot to by bottle at like up to $100.00 a bottle and $12.00 per fill ouch,get the turbo!!!!!!! :cry:

Nos-Pro I have a nitrous express kit for my Rx-1. I am trying to figure the best way to mount the nozzles. Where are you putting them? Some say before carb and some say they have to be between the carb and the head.I tried to find carb spacers for it like many bikes use with no luck.

 

[NOS-PRO]

Hey Looking4speed - I have all my components from NOS, and They said not to put the nozzles before the carbs, due to the vaccum slides. I agree with them, cause there is no cable to hold them open, and they are very touchy. I installed Holtzman springs in the carbs friday, and it made it a totally different sounding sled. The springs aren't that much different, which made me concerned with how touchy they are. I also thought about moisture in the airbox, and collecting, and freezing with the nitrous on the vaccum slides, not good! So my best bet, and I know, it has been a real challenge to get them in there, and leave room for the choke mechanism, but they are in there, just have to mount the bottle, and do some wiring.
