Found this link on TercelOnline.com, Nitrous Mini Systems (http://www.nitrousmini.com/)

It uses a 12 gram cartridge of N2O. Certainly isn't going to help you all that much, but it could be fun for 99 dollars. Their website is a joke though.

Never heard of that one, but very doable... Also, NOS makes a "sneaky pete" system one of my co workers has, the bottle is like a foot long and 3-4 inches thick and he has his mounted in his dash, not much to the system and it only cost him 200 bucks...

Ha! I don't even think that nitrous cartridge will even make a car hicup <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':laugh:'> &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':laugh:'>

either way I don't see how it would add more fuel, so the car wouldn't go any faster.

I love their criteria for being a conventional nitrous oxide system &nbsp;"90% of system comprised of useless electronics"
Wow, I would like to see a true nitrous system run without that 90% electronics, perhaps this site in their infinate wisdom has produced one?

lol, I know. Like I said, the site itself is a joke, but I think for 100 dollars it might bge fun to check out. I'm guessing you could get a 12 shot or so for about 2 seconds maybe. I'm sure there are many better ways to spend 100 dollars, but I kinda see it as a novelty item.

As for the extra fuel, it's just like any other dry system. With a small shot dry system you can rely on the engine's fuel management to notice the increase in O2 and provide the extra fuel on it's own. The only problem that I can see with this, is that it would be such a short boost that it might not have that much time to adjust.

Unfortunatly not. Dry/wet systems always get misinterpreted. A Dry system (like the zex kit I used to have on my Kaslow) injects nitrous and fuel sepreatly(sp). For example the zex kit had a fpr that would adjust fuel pressure to add more fuel. The NOS dry kit had a seperate fuel seleniod /w nozzle that would control fuel. Wet kits inject a mixture of fuel and nitrous into the intake runners.

That little nitrous cartridge thing wouldn't even be good for a 12shot. You wouldn't see any gains whatsoever. Plus from the picture it looks like it's injecting nitrous right before or after teh mafs.

Now if it's before the mafs all that's gonna do is make things all screwy if not freeze the mafs wire and break things.

If it's after the mafs the motor won't even know that your putting a little nitrous in it.

Either way you could spend that hundred bucks on a whooker and get more monies worth. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':laugh:'>
