The nitrous route for the 1.6NA seems to be a great option, however, I wonder how long a bottle would last, with day to day driving.

I like the idea of the turbo pump and LDA to deliver nitrous at full throttle only, this would enable passing and hills, which are my biggest need.

If one wasn't a complete buffoon with the right foot, how long could one expect a bottle to last?

Also, why is a bottle opener required? Is it not safe to keep it open?

Thanks in advance, if this post is still being monitored and answered.

hmmmm you could probably hillfolk it and make your own nitrogen oxide like they did on myth busters :lol: probably take a few hours to fill a bottle though.

edit: hmmm fertilizer

this has me thinking... what about just compressed oxygen??? i wonder if that would be illegal here in Canada too... only NO2 is illegal right?

I've thought of that too. It would possibly be even more effective than nitrous. Way cheaper as well. It probably wouldn't cost more than about $10 to fill a tank the size you'd be running. A couple people I know say nitrous tanks are about $40-$50 to fill.

I've too considered compressed o2 to be a cheap alternative to NO2.
Use a Diving tank and fill it to like 2,000 psi or something.

you could just bleed it into the intake anywhere. It would be an easy set up. You may need a license though to buy compressed o2.
