If you can get it to work, more power to you.

Hake sure that the hose is figured into your equation of how much volume you need for the boost bottle - lots of people forget that.

don't spend time and money on boost, won't see much of a gain. Rather spend money on something else for actual gain in performance.

Re: To boost or not to boost?

so the actual kit on a Dell Orto carb wouldn't help that much?
like either one of these?
DUAL HITTER BOTTLE KIT METALLIC SILVER large jpeg.
47 - 49cc POCKET BIKE BOOST BOTTLE KIT (vapor blue) large jpeg.
will they do what they advertise?
or do they not work that well?

Re: To boost or not to boost?

dumb question, but if you tapped your manifold and all that but didn't get a boost bottle or a nitrous system, but just left the fittings there, do you think it would give some what of a boost bottle effect? Like while you were riding and the fittings pretty much sucked the unburned fumes out of the cylinder and just out into the outside?

Re: To boost or not to boost?

To do the Co2 canisters you have to drill the tops and necks into the chamber with a 3/16" drill bit to make it open enough to work and dont mount them like my first attempt pictured at the bottom or theyll fill up with fuel and foul you up...lol.The inlets must face the fittings...........Peace
