Make sure you send the Pulsoids to us for inspection, servicing and updating, as they will certainly need it. Complete Nitrous novice so learning lots right now, unfortunatelly due to the size of the g15 I have nowhere else but the rear shelf to install the bottle, a little nervous about that (Should I be?) from an external impact point of view its probably the safest place, between the cage and chassis underneath it and at the sides! Isn't there any room in the front boot? Chris |

Hi Trev, Space in the front, well there is but it consists of the fuel tank and radiator which it would have to sit right behind and im not sure that would be a good idea? What sort of time fram/cost is expected to service the noids? Cheers chris |

You'll love the effect of nitrous with the SC; the two go hand in hand. I also HIGHLY recommend an inspection by HighPower for the Pulsoids. Second hand nitrous systems have a high probability that they've been tampered with and could grenade your engine. |

Yes that would be a 'good' idea (as long as you keep an eye on the bottle pressure), as it 'might' save you the cost of a bottle heater but you may have to fit a heat reflective blanket (or something similar) if it causes the pressure to get too high. What sort of time fram/cost is expected to service the noids? They will be done the same day we receive them and the cost is £35 each for the labour and you'll almost certainly need a replacement fuel plunger, as the fuel content has changed since those Pulsoids were made and we've had to change the plunger seal material to suit that and that adds £16. If you are lucky that is all you'll need and all prices are plus carriage & VAT. Cheers chris |

You could trade in the 11lb bottle for 1 or 2 x 5lb bottles (dimensions on the appropriate page of our website), to solve the bottle fitting problem. |

Id be up for doing that if that's an option!? Im guessing the bottle heater I have is surplus then too as its on a 10lb bottle? That would also release some funds! And I doubt Ill need to heat a bottle in my car, more likely cool it! Cheers Chris |

The heater should fit the 5lb bottle and you'd be better to keep that as it will produce better results. Yes it's an option so please send us the bottle and let me know if you want one or two 5lbs instead? |

This is why I love WoN. Do you know of any other companies who would do that? |

Yep got to say so far, hugely impressed with the service, sending my bottle today to them then all the bits will be sent out together in one go, really looking forward to receiving it all and get started on the install. Will be interesting at all the shows I go to this year, many people will be interested to dive in and have a good look at it all! slightly excited! |

Video will come at some point, had a right nightmare recently, two weeks before the main show of the year for me and I changed the clutch for an uprated unit, test drive in the wet, was fine handled the power...... 1 week before the show nice and dry so tried again, all going well until on the way home after 30mins the oil cooler decided to try and cool the oil with direct air contact and leaked all 5ltrs out resulting in a ruined crank So I cleaned it up, fitted new bearings and gave it ago, although it sounds fine the oil pressure drops out within 5 mins down to zero! Gutted so the car went on a trailer to the show and came in 2nd in class... god knows what I need to fit next to win again haha (maybe the turbo again so I can be triple charged!) New crank should be with me this week with a new bearing set, Ive got until the 22nd to get it built back up before the next show and I refuse to use the trailer again! .....Still haven't sourced a purge kit! funds have literally been cranked out of me now, been selling spares to fund the engine rebuild so will try and find a usable purge kit 2nd hand! All fun and games they say |

We can supply you with GOOD used parts at 20% less than new cost AND that would include the CORRECT connections to match up, so you wouldn't end up spending more on fittings/adaptors, than you paid for the Pulsoid. |
