Nitrous Omega?
« on: 26 July 2009, 21:57:56 »
Anyone ever tried to Nitrous their Omega?

Seeing as Ex Plods are so cheap and there is virtually no room for a turbo/Supercharger, plus they are almost disposable, how would a 3.0 V6 cope with a shot or two of giggle gas?

Anyone up for making a bargain lunatic Miggy with 350 BHP?

Actually there are a couple of superchargers for the V6 available, but obviously a good nitrous kit would be vastly cheaper. That said I would be more worried about toasting the clutch then the engine going bang! :D

Yes

It is also about to come out and go into my 3.0 and rejet to 100 hp extra dont want to go higher as i want to keep the mv6 with out blowing it up.

In my youth we took the engine cover off, and the backwindow out of beetle, took off air cleaner and squirted that cheap nasty cream in can stuff which was powered by nitrous then, don't no if it still is.

My mate was propelled out the back window and left lying in the field, the car did about 50yds and exploded. Oh to be 17 again.

Sadly Nick he had to hang out the back window to spray the stuff in the carb, beetle had no seatbelts anyway, and it was off road so no harm done, and many years ago, in fact about 1981/82 if memory serves  :o

I have been considering a kit for my 2.5 for a while now.
