I dont know how to go much further than to put a turbo on the engine, And I have no idea how to get that to work on the engine or how to make it look like it has a turbo,lol.[>:]

The can is a Robart retract air cylinder, I just wrote the NOS symbol on it and hoped for the best.

Would be neet to have a actual NOS tank onboard, however, I dont think the little engine would last to long with each blast of NOS it got.

Reality is stranger than fiction again. (trying to find the website... will add it when I find it...)

You CAN buy a SUPERCHAGER for model engines. (If I remember... its for .40 and up)
*************

Well... I can't find the website .

However.... I did find an ad in a 1941 Model Airplane News! (June issue)

At one point, OS was selling a 1.20 fourstroke that had a roots blower type supercharger. Big goofy looking box on the back of it. It was for pattern competition when they had a 1.2cui limit on 4strokes.

That old ad is great. My office is a block away from the address at the bottom of that picture. It's now a YWCA and the office of the Mobile Outreach Homeless and Runaway Youth Van. There's no trace of the old company.

I bet if the turbine would turn 120,000 rpms the nitrous would at least 20 thousand more for a grand total of too %^*% much. Of course nobody would care because they would be dead from the shrapnel thrown when it exploded.

OUCH, that would slightly hurt, but standing by a jet while the afterburners are kicked in might work just as well, maybe even a sonic boom as a jet flies right over ya
