no good?

was wondering, says for scooters up to 100cc....hmmmm....

Why would that not work? The Ruckus is a single cylinder 50cc scooter, which is what that kit is for.

hell ya....


thats a blast... it needs a second feed tube for your mouth tho

NOS is totally possible and it would be uber-rad. The thing is nos only works while you got it flicked on and the gas flowing. This would be very expensive to do all the time and a major hassle to fill your bottles every day. I could be wrong but I think on a car a medium sized bottle lasts 30sec at full throttle. Our scoots would use way less but we'd also have a smaller bottle. I don't think you'd do much better than 5min (Unless I'm wrong about the 30sec thing). It would be very cool but it's expensive.

I believe it would also burn a hole through your piston. Racers use NO for a quick burst not as a continously running fuel source.

Yeah good point ace. If you run it a lot it would be very hard on your engine. There's just no way to instantly double your horsepower and expect nothing to be stresses. I'd say save the 650$ and spend it on the H.0. cam and other performance mods that'll permanently increase your speed.

I would like to see someone try it though. I'm not sure how it would work with our carbs though. It seems like it would lean things out pretty good.

I have been thinking about this one. www.nitrousdirect.com/pocketbikenitrous.html#
But I am going to exsperiment with the Propane injection kit I built for my VW TDI first. NOS would help alot with the acceleration but not do too much for top speed. Propane would be a lot cheaper and could be used for constant use. Then you could change your gear ratio and get a higher top speed.

i wasn't going to get it , too rich for my blood.
But I was thinking if I did get it in the future I would only use it like once a day if that couple times a week.

lol

my money wants to go to the dio forks

[chanito]

I think is a bad idea, and i agree with DandyDan and ace, the worst part is that it wont last even the 30 seconds more than likelly 10, if that much

You might as well use one of these NOS kits, cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=11332&item=7161408268&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW

My friend has one on his minibike and it actually works, granted its not as good or as long as a real nitrous kit, but it sure is alot cheaper.
