Re: Cosworth YB Turbo Into Elan

In order to eliminate turbo lag I am designing a nitrous system, combining Wizards of NOS (WON) and Nitrous Oxide Systems' (NOS) philosophies, methods and components to suit my needs.
I have a NOS kit, bought way back in 2004 but never used. However, the kit is a wet system and I am going dry so the nozzles are not usable. NOS do a suitable nozzle for direct port injection but they would cost around $100 for 4 delivered. So I decided to make my own. The kit has the jets I need along with pipe, olives, nozzle caps etc. However, the solenoids are 14 years old technology and WON have a much better progressive unit called a Pulsoid, so I will get one of these.
Fuel will be provided by my existing 8 injectors so no need for another solenoid or extra nozzles for fuel.
NOS nozzle:
My effort:
Took me around 30 minutes to make. The other three should take less than an hour now that I have worked out how to make them. The gas exit slot will be cut once the nozzles are installed and I can cut them so they face the valves.
