With a nitrous kit (single point, 50hp) on an m52b28, does anybody know what is needed regarding ignition timing ?

I thought you had to retard timing while the nitrous is engaged.

thanks

You do to get the most out of it mate, either that or drop your CR, but that wouldn't be practical on your track car. TBH on 50bhp jets you won't have a problem. It's more when you start playing with 100-150+ power hikes.

Who makes the kit? If it's wizzards of nos, then go on there website an PM a user called Chip. He's a good mate of mine and is one of the most knowledgable people in the country when it comes to nitrous.

I think their minimax one is recomended. It depends what you want from it. Not too sure on the plugs. Get on their website :D
