I saw these in an issue of Sport Compact Car magazine a few weeks ago and thought it would be great for the MINI. Would be fun for the occasional strip use just to mess around with.

That would be cool to have in a MC it be an awesome sleeper. The MCS from Eurotuner has a NOS system in it, it looks awesome.

Wonder how the engine likes having the stock inkjector spray patterns altered by mounting the injectors further from the intake valves?

I don't think the change is enough to really matter much. We are only talking a distance of a couple of inches different compared to stock so the time change is very minimal.

yea.. I'm not sure of who does it though, but i've seen on turbo civic's and stuff, looks cool

I did start looking into the idea of tapping the top of the intake filter to add a wet fogger nos system to my intake system. Will play with that sometime in the future

Dont do it. Modern cars are not designed to have "wet injection" that far upstream in the intake system. They are designed to flow only air. Close to the injectors is the only way to go.

I think both NOS and NX have nitrous intercooler systems.

You could make your own though to fit the intercooler on the S with a generic 4 cylinder kit, a tube bender and some hard line.

That is why I'm doing the research... Thanks for the info. What I want to have is the cooling benefit before the compression to keep the whole system cooler. Just need to research, and find the right system.

PILO.
Whats your reasoning for having the cooling benefit before versus during the compression? I think you're better off injecting as close to the port as possible. You'll never keep the mixture homogenous in an intake system design to flow only air.


AZWED,
I've heard of people using propane grill burners!
