Fellow students of NOS-Wizardry, are you a person who thinks nitrous is only for large engines such as cars, trucks, and motorcyles? Think again!

Project G-O-D, the
Goped of DOOOOOOOM!!!The following is a project that was just a crazy idea that came to my head after seeing some videos containing footage of really crappy, unsafe, and unreliable nitrous systems on small engines. So I decided to do the same with a REAL nitrous system consisting of a
WON SFBK2 kit (
located here ), which adds both nitrous oxide AND a fuel source to the engine, which is the only RIGHT way to do it. Other kits only run DRY systems meaning that the user has to run the carburetor excessively rich, which brings down performance off nitrous considerably AND limits the total amount of power deliverable. With the SFBK, I can add as much as
50bhp! That's almost 50 times the output of this engine!
Here we go:
Here is the Goped Sport Model being mocked up with the kit. The engine is a 23cc Zenoah Komatsu G23LH: 1.2 Bhp. This engine is perfect for initial testing because it has a low compression ratio and conservative spark timing. This engine really is Mr.Reliable as their durability has been known to last over 20 years! These scooters came out with these when I was a kid about that amount of time.

The scooter is driven directly by the crankshaft with an interchangeable drive spindle: making direct contact to the hard-rubber tire.

Here is the SFBK2 mocked-up on the T-bar. Note that I'm using a Butane liquid gas cannister for camping stoves and they can be purchased for cheap at big outdoor sports depots. I couldn't find these near me for some reason, but eBay was the answer to that problem. The other problem is that unlike outside the U.S., these cannisters are unthreaded and require an adapter to work with the pulsoid. Luckily, the Wizard was able to located these on eBay for me and they were dirt cheap! Additionally, they are quick-turn (1/4) attaching, which means I can change a can out in no time and they self seal so there is no danger of spraying flammable gas all over the place! This kit is awesome already!
