The world is full of people who seem not to realise they either need bigger vehicles or bigger engines or both. Trouble is there are a lot who have not realised they do not need a big vehicle and/or a big engine. Something should be done!

Nurse to room 6 mr. Hitchcock - the usual please :)

Its the Nitrous Oxide, don't you know.

Are you having a laugh?

It depends on what the nurse looks like and if she tickles my fancy. ;D

Don't think there's any chance of you getting your fancy tickled rob ;)

I read the bit about the boost bottle not needing to be refilled as it somehow is supposed to store the reflected intake pressure wave until the next opening of the intake port during the engine's running cycle. But I do not see a separate boost bottle in the kits that obviously include nitrous oxide bottles
I like the idea of better low end torque that they attribute to the non refillable boost bottle. Who wouldn't want free energy, especially in the part of the power band where 2 strokes are the most disadvantaged. But I am not clear as to what we are looking at here.

I think the two red ones are the boost bottles.

Are they the same bottles that are used in the carbon dioxide powered BB guns?
If so, does this mean that I could connect an empty one of these to carburettor side of my 2 stroke's air filter via a short length of vinyl tubing and get a significant power boost to my 2 strokes lower end power curve for an investment of nearly nothing?
I wonder if the placement/ orientation/ distance from the connection to the intake air stream is critical.
Sounds almost too good to be true- but if it is not, why should such a well needed no brainer not have been used by the OEMs for these engines for quite some time by now?
