N2O - Bad idea in a bottle?

[_Mac_]

So i'm bored at home and I've spent far too much time not driving.
Should I use this time procuring and installing giggle gas to my NA 3.5l V6 (~100k miles)?




Bear in mind wrong answers will be ignored...

Yes....

Done sensibly and correctly its a safe way of adding power.....just dont get carried away....

Buy a decent kit, not some dodgy ebay washing machine spares cobbled together...

Of course you should! just remember to video it.

Have a look at Hoovies garage on youtube - he nitroused a Prius and it went well. Briefly.Sort of.

Looking at the Wizards of Nos kit as it dings all the bells, just need my overtime to pay out...

Not one I would go with, but Trev does have his supporters......

See what your insurance company says, record the convo, and share the recorded laughter for us please.

Or just weigh up the risk of an unpaid claim (that you cant otherwise cover yourself) vs getting caught

This isnt a question is it :P

Have the parts arrived yet?! Ive never seriously looked into particulars of installing nitrous. I'd imagine youre adding a 7th fuel source in the intake that switches on with the nitrous feed - and you stay completely seperate of the cars existing ECU and fuel system.
50 shot? 100? 150?!

[_Mac_]

The 7th fuel injector is the difference between a dry and wet nitrous setup. I'd be looking at a 150 shot system, maybe starting the jets at 50 and working up to around 100. I think that's a safe place to be without preemptive rebuilding of the top end.

That approach could go catastrophically wrong. A simple accident could result in your insurance being invalidated which can have immediate legal repercussions, as well as potentially leading to you being declined insurance in future, effectively taking you off the road indefinitely.

If you fail to inform your insurers of material facts such as vehicle modifications you aren't saving money on your insurance - you are paying to not be insured.
