![]() | Re: Nitrous Barchetta Can do but the injectors will only go 175bhp max as well as the fuel pump. Fuel pump is easy and will set up back £80 but the injectors are not so easy.

Posts: 455 Thanks: 11 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Re: Nitrous Barchetta Just to explore all tuning possibilities. I know Nitrous goes against the Barchetta aesthetic, we're unlikely to ever see a Nitrous car in the pages of Classic and Sportscar magazine. But hey, Nitrous always looks fun at Santa Pod. My thinking was that a conservative set up installed by the best in the business might actually be okay if used sparingly. The economics are good when compared to the turbo option, even if you factor in the cost of a new engine to replace the one you have just blown up. ![]()

Posts: 891 Thanks: 7 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Re: Nitrous Barchetta I read reports which suggest that a trickle of NO2 can pay dividends without damaging the car. Apparently the trick is finding the right kit as so many are either rubbish or will damage the car. This is only what I've read, I've got no experience of this!

![]() | Re: Nitrous Barchetta NOS is an exact science and not to be messed with, only have fitted by the very best specialists. If I remember correctly they fitted a system in the top gear V12 jag for £500 but no idea if it would work with the barchetta fuel system? and as said not good for the engine as only a little use will have your piston rings at melting point.
