| IIRC I saw a picture of a NOS set up on a Silverwing on FB awhile back. But I don’t recall any further discussion about it nor do I know whether it was just a mock up either. |

| Probably not a great idea- you don’t want to blow holes in the pistons. |

| I always thought that Nitrous was used on short-run performance engines. You know..the kind of engine that needs a rebuild every 5 hours! Not sure the Silverwing mechanical architecture was designed for such a thing....unless you wanted to enter the world renowned Santa Pod 600cc Scooter Championships. Now there's some food for thought |

Your thoughts ?
Be safe, be seen! Adding nitrous to a stock motor always ends badly But adding a turbo is very popular nowadays and I’d ask on a turbo forum and see what kinda feedback you get |
