The Nitrous Oxide Issue

David Allen — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 15:06:44 +0000

Most people are aware that Nitrous Oxide will provide you with a power boost, this happens by forcing the nitrous oxide into the engine to produce more power. This will work when your foot is right down and the car is at max speed, introducing the nitrous oxide at this will make the car go faster.

Nitrous Oxide is an oxygen atom combined with two nitrogen atoms to form a molecule. It can be stored in a bottle when in liquid form, but as soon as it is released, it will turn into gas. This gas can be easily directed into the combustion chamber and when it is ignited, the molecule breaks down and the oxygen burns producing power.

Nitrous oxide kits can cost anything from $250 to $500 for basic systems, while the proper top of the range systems can be around $2,000. An average set up can add around 60 HP, but a top system is quite capable of giving you up to 200 HP. A 10 lb bottle refill can cost around $90, but considering what you get out of it, it has to be good value.

The Nitrous Oxide High Performance Manual (Paperback)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description – Once confined to the drag strip and notorious for blowing up engines, nitrous oxide technology has advanced significantly in recent years and is now much more widely available. This book is the definitive guide to nitrous systems. Written by specialist Trevor Langfield, with over 20 years experience in the field, this book covers everything from the history of nitrous oxide systems through the practical application of the wide variety of systems now available, across a range of engine types. Well illustrated throughout with 150 colour photographs. Also containing detailed information on installing and maintaining a system, how NOS works and comparisons with other performance modifications. This book, from Veloces’ immensely successful Speedpro series is an indispensable aid for anyone looking to maximize their engine power.

About the Author – The author’s journey to become the world’s leading nitrous expert began in 1980 when experimenting with a 250cc motorcycle. Nitrous became his passion, leading him to design and manufacture the best solenoids in the world. He has since applied his perfectionist approach to every component he now manufactures. He spent years successfully drag racing 4- to 12-cylinder street cars, assisting customers and sponsoring, organizing and winning his own series. The combination of hands-on experience in the use of nitrous oxide on European street cars and the total involvement in every aspect of the design and development of his nitrous systems has put the author in a unique position to inform others. It is also this unique combination that has resulted in such a comprehensive knowledge about so many aspects of the application and use of nitrous oxide, as well as other related matters, that influence its use.

Great looking G35 Coupe

David Allen — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 17:10:00 +0000

Before we start, I have to admit that this is one of my favourite cars, even before anything has been done to it this car is a super car that is totally awesome in almost every single way. In that case, this is a great car before it has been touched, but this one has been touched and therefore does that make it better? Of course it does no G35 fan would turn their back on a on a car like this.

The bodywork is great; in fact, it looks as if there has only been minimal amounts of work done on this car, such as a roof wing, side skirts and front bumper. One nice touch is the wing mirror covers, these have carbon fibre covers, but even better than that is the roof section, that has been made by hand from carbon fibre too.

This is car that almost looks like a prototype or even a concept car that you would see at a car show, but it is just the result of a well thought out plan, a lot of hard work and of course the one factor that ties all modified cars, a fair amount of cash!

It is not that often that you find a build waiting to happen, but this looks like one, it’s not had much done to it apart from some modifications to the engine department. Naturally, this does not mean that the owner actually wants physical help he is probably quite capable of doing that himself.

What this one requires is some sponsorship, of course, that is the dream of a lot of car owners out there, but you have to admit it that this is a car worthy of some work. The main thing about this car is that it is a blank canvas and the owner needs the sponsorship in order to sort out the bodywork and a get a decent paint job done, not a major job is it (Joking) but it is worth doing.

The Lexus GS (Carbon GS)

David Allen — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 15:54:41 +0000

Executive cars do not normally make for a great build; they are built for comfort, and have far too many gadgets and features to even be thought of as a something like custom build. Then eventually something happens that turns our world upside down and this is one of those cars, you only have to look at it to see that this car means business.

It may be black, which may not be the best of colours for a build but it is pure and dark, in fact is as dark as it could possibly be. However, at the same time it is cool, you can still see that it is Lexus and there has not been too work done to the bodywork, leaving the car with its original styling.

This is one of those cars that you could make if you had an unlimited budget and access to all of the car parts that your heart desired, but as a lot of us are not in that position, we simply have to look and marvel at this work of art. Maybe one day a few more of use will be in the position to make a car such as this.

The Boise Auctioneers 2006 Scion XB

David Allen — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 15:28:26 +0000

These are strange looking vehicles, but on the face of it are very interesting and designed to be modified to the extreme, as this one has been. Yet despite all of the work that gone into this machine, the basic style and shape remains but there is no doubt what this car is.

This is a project that has been built for the look rather than speed, after all you simply couldn’t imagine this car ripping it up down the track, unless it was in the special Scion drag race over a quarter of mile, if we wait that long of course!

They may be strange looking, but the way that the car has been coloured is sheer brilliance. Green is considered unlucky for some people, but green really works with this. Whether the colour goes with the shape or just that, the colour is so nice. It sets the whole car off and obviously makes the car stand out from the crowd.

Scion Xb 2004-2004 MB5 Chrome Wheels Rims and Tires

Product Description

Tire: Nankang NS II 215/35R18 84W

General: The MB5 â Warrior From The Dark Ages

Unlike its spoked brethren, the MB5 is not a rim with a spoke design but a semi full-faced wheel. This Rim is designed in a way that makes it look like a shield that the warriors of the dark ages used in the ancient times of barbaric wars and competitions. This rim comes in a dark tanned finish and is machined polished to a perfect black tan. The lighter version of the rim is more inclined to a silver finish and goes well with the tire of the car. The black version matched the tire and the silver version contrasts with the black tire. Towards the outer ends of the wheel, where the broad spokes meet the rim, the design forms a seemingly three-sided half ellipse that is carved into the face of the rim. The centre of the rim is held fast to the rim with eight Allen nuts and covers the central coupling of the wheel entirely. This cover fits flush with the rest of the rim leaving no need for a hubcap that older car rims require to hide the ugly cast iron wheel and huge coupling bolts. Though the face of the wheel is black, the ring that forms the outer circle of the wheel and holds the tire in place is silver giving the wheel and the vehicle a very classy look. When purchasing Wheels and Tires Package, Package includes: style=”margin-top: 5px ;”> Balancing and Mounting Lug Nuts Hub Rings 4 Centre Caps

The Mazda RX7 the best of the best

David Allen — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 15:49:20 +0000

The RX7 from Mazda is a beauty and that is without any work being done on it, the car absolutely oozes style, design and performance all one perfect package.

This is car that really put Mazda on the map and suddenly this was the car that everyone wanted, but could not afford the price of the car or the insurance.

However, we are older now, and these cars are affordable and the insurance has become slightly more reasonable.

This car is the result of the Vincent Wong of iForged, he loves the Mazda RX7 and it shows in the finished piece, where even the colours blend in perfect harmony, let alone the rest of this beautiful machine.

Of course to the average person in the street, this car is not going to register as being an RX7, the work that has been done on it is just too brilliant that it has taken to original car and made into something complete new and cool, in fact this car could we be mistaken as being a new design.

When Toyota first brought out the MR2 in the late eighties it took the market by storm, people from all around the world could not get their hands on one quick enough and that is how the market for a good sports car developed. Now most of the major car manufacturers have their own mini sports car, but still the MR2 is the one that is leagues ahead of the rest and in fact, the fantastic MR2 is out there on its own.

This car has had a lot of work done to it, the first signs are that of the body this has been with style and a lot of attention to detail, the car clearly has all of the right bulges and bumps and they are all in the right places. The interior has been made to look more European than Japanese, the way that the dials have been surrounded by carbon fibre and fabric to give that mix of class and high performance.

Mazda RX7 in silver

David Allen — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 15:24:41 +0000

This is stunning looking car that has had a lot of time and cash spent on it, but the results are something beautiful, it could even be a work of art. It has smooth silver lines and curves, but occasionally there is the flash of red Bride seats coming through the window. Red and silver is such a great combination of colours.

This is probably one of the curviest RX7’s around; it has bulges, curves and arches that blend together in perfect harmony. It really is a fantastic looking car that is capable of delivering around 345 HP at the rear wheels, which is something to think of when you have this car sitting behind at a junction.

The Mazda RX7 has been and still is a great car, this one is a great example of this model that has been carefully worked at and the finished item is absolutely top notch.

The Integra DC2 in a strange green colour

David Allen — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 16:51:08 +0000

Sure, this colour is a shade gone too far, but actually, it is quite nice once you get used to it. This is the thing about builders, they have the foresight to see that this colour would go and at the same time look cool with it. Whereas most of us would have thought, that green was the primer coat and the car is still waiting for its final coat of high gloss.

There has been a lot of under the body too, believe it or not, with an original engine and a JDM ITR 4 to 1 header connecting to the Comptech exhaust makes for essential building these days and is enough to beef up the HP. However, to get a decent spark NGK plug leads are the required element and now the car is ready roll.

Taking about rolling the car has been fitted with a set of Ray Engineering Gram lIghts in gold, which happens to blend perfectly with the camo green shade of paint. Finally, it is Falken Azenis 215/45/16 rubber that is wrapped around those golden wheels that are held on with Muteki lugs.

David Allen — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 16:09:35 +0000
