Bugger me, I remember watching that episode and where I was! Must have been just over 3 years ago that!

**chip** · 25-09-2006 22:56

**wayne451** · 25-09-2006 23:00

The old fella with the buffon of white hair? If it was 20 years ago he must be decaying, he looks like he is knocking on abit! lmao

Whilst you're about, any idea how much nitrous a Scooby EJ22 engine with some fresh rings etc would take safely on a controller? Seems like the best and easiest way to get a 12 second Bug

If you can retard the timing, far more than you need for 12s probably.

I bet a decently setup bug can break into the 12s all day with 200bhp anyway!

I thought WoN was American?

Hmmm, that's good to know - Cheers. Cost not a huge amount over a grand to whack an EJ22 on Megasquirt and 'bodies with nitrous in the back, got to sting a bit. *Ideas bounce around head, a-la pinball machine* lmao

What's the deal with bugs then? Are they easy to mod and do engine transplants and the like?

I seee. I just assumed more fuel + more oxygen = more torque, and subsequently bent roddies if your engine isn't built for it.

Or does nitrous just increase the engine speed without increasing the torque much?

It increases torque a lot, but most rods can handle at least double standad torrque if its clean power in N/A engines, and often many times that.

rods are normally VERY strong in compression, its tension that kills them normally

XE is perfect example, same rods in a LET and people see well over 300lbft with them

ej's really don't like nitrous i'm told. I have gleefull lack of knowledge when it comes to gas, but all the tuners i spoke to wouldn't touch my ej20 with a ****ty stick. 'don't respond well and tend to blow up' is the party line.
