I'm running it on my POS Japanese wank mobile.

Upgraded to a 50 shot over the weekend, and got the bottle filled.

When I got the bottle back it was freezing, so we decided to warm it a little in the shower.

Got it up to around 30* (hot summer day) and took the car out for a spin.

45mph, 3ed gear, 3000rpm, hit the switch and the car didn't even move.

It just sat there spinning the wheels over.

Any gear, it didn't matter it would just spin up.

Anyway we let the bottle cool for an hour or so and then it was just perfect.

Hit the switch and rapid acceleration.

There is no comparable power gain for the price.

You should keep a close eye on your fuel pressures (ie bottle temp), if it works poorly at certain temps then that is something you need to adress.

It works fine.

Plugs read okay, and keep an eye on the wideband.

What doesn't work are the nankang touring sport (aka ditch finder) tyres.

Check my build thread for methods on bottle warming and all other nitrous related stuff..
