Great posts Chris now get back to my forum and tell your fellow WON users what you've been up to.
Many thanks for the positive comments, as they make the effort all worthwhile.
With regard to nitrous ASSOCIATED engine failure, please note that I used the term ASSOCIATED because it usually is by association and NOT the cause that nitrous is ACTUALLY linked to engine failure.
If you increase the power of ANY engine by ANY MEANS by a big enough amount, it will fail sooner or later BUT it is not the fault of the power enhancing product, because it was ONLY DOING ITS JOB!!!!!
It is the responsibility of the vehicle owner to make a judgement on how much extra power his engine etc. can handle and if he wants to make more than that, then its his responsibility to improve the engine to handle that amount.
It's would be like blaming the car for going too fast when you got a speeding ticket, if you were to blame WON for an engine failure due to the system making too much power.
The problem is that 99% of nitrous kits on the market are NOT "designed" they are just a bunch of cheap parts that are thrown together in the HOPE that they work and luckily for those companies, nitrous is so effective that even total garbage will produce a result that will impress most people, but unfortunately that is usually quickly followed by an inevitable kit failure and/or an engine failure.
Now this is a totally different scenario to an engine failure due to excess power but unfortunately most people either can't tell the difference or can't be bothered to understand the differences.
This confusion in conjunction with the fact that most people seem to want to group ALL nitrous kits together under the same label, misleads potential customers in to believing all this misinformation.
What I can't understand is that EVERYONE would accept that there are well designed cars and there are badly designed cars. They also accept that a Sony computer is a better quality product than an Acer computer, yet the same people can't appreciate that the same MUST APPLY to nitrous systems.
What makes that even stranger, is that it's FAR MORE LIKELY for a selection of a specific product to be of different qualities, than it is for them all to be the same quality and a quick glance at a Which magazine will confirm that FACT!!!
