Default RE: Oddified motor w/ NOS

The engine was built and tuned specifically for nitrous, not just a tuned engine with nitrous added. The engine has slightly retarded timing, very slightly lower compression and most importantly a specially machined piston with 0.05mm taper from bottom to top. The reason for that is stop the piston nipping in the cylinder when using NOS. The first proto type he made, seized up within seconds when he used a reasonable amount of nitrous!. The reason is the sudden temperature increase when the system is activated, the piston crown expands quicker than the cylinder.

The nitrous solenoids have been set up for low nitrous levels and to run on lower voltage (they're made for full size cars and up to 250 hp).
The system is only using a small fraction of what it's made to run, thus running cleaner, consistent.

Oddified actually made an on board PCB that can control it's release automatically via RPM's.
Now all I need to get is a much smaller NOS bottle, the 12oz bottle is way to big for what I need, it will be replaced with a 4 or 6oz bottle.
