Petesvw 0 Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 so does mk2r32. Link to post Share on other sites
dellert 0 Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Am i correct in thinking they are pretty cheap? Saw some for about £500 for the kit. COmpared to SC and Turbo thats pretty cheap anyway. I would like one, I think VR is quick enough for everyday use, but now and then it would be nice to surprise a few Scoobies- the bain of my life!!! Would that do the trick? Link to post Share on other sites
gav_113 0 Posted June 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 i was thinking the same! a hundred shot of NOS.. :-p i have a spare engine if it all went wrong, lol!there are kits on gay-bay for £300 upwards, not sure which type i need tho?? Link to post Share on other sites
J5KE F 0 Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 basic setup cost me 300 second hand, ran 25bhp jets to settle it in and then upgraded to 50's (makes a hell of a difference! the 25's can barey be felt! The basic system has a single 'fogger' or injection point that is installed in the manifold before the throttle body. The system pictured above is a direct port or wet system (i think, & please correct me if i'm wrong folks!) which is better for major horse gains but not advised on stock internals! currently i am running 75's with a progressive controller through a single fogger injection point.The hp rating of the jets varies on bottle pressure so try and allow for bottle warmer when budgeting! i'm using a wizards of nos setup, which is pretty good, and their technical support is 2nd to none!hope this helps!

gav_113 0 Posted June 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 ok thanks jake, i will be on the look out for a set up once my other engine is finished.. :-p Link to post Share on other sites
dellert 0 Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Looked at on e of the kits on the bay. Good price, but the more i read about it the more i think i need a spare engine laying around. I just know I would get over excited and forget to shut it off!!! Would your average monkey mechanic know what to do with it if i gave him the box and my keys? Link to post Share on other sites
markiev6 1 Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 im running a wet system by wizz of nos i was runing 150 bhp with a controller it is direct port in jection started off with 25 bhp but it is very addictive!!!!!! if you do it right your engine wont blow up !! now its got a turbo and the nos Link to post Share on other sites
