Nitrous Oxide High Performance Manual |
|
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 to 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. While the manual doesn't promote building your own system from scratch, it's a very helpful guide in choosing the right system for your application, installation and maintenance. If you want to improve performance for relatively small money, it's a good place to start.
