I have been hearing and reading about boost bottles... OK, do they help? I had one years ago on a nitro and didn't notice anything other than my wallet being 30 bucks lighter. No difference at all. Do the bottles work at all on the bigger motors? I was watching a youtube video and this guy swears by them, if fact he said it add the same amount of power as his DDM pipe did??

I understand the theory of function, but I don't know the logistics of it. If they do work, where can you find them? How much are they? Or would I be better off with a carb with an accelerator pump?

I do think they look pretty cool though and I love to add Doo-Dadds to my truck, mostly for the reaction I get from the Nitro guys!

Thanks guys,

Boost Bottles ..from my understanding ..don't do much...If any thing..You would be better off going with alloy intake ADA
and 813 carb....The 813 carb adjust's up just like the 688..slow and easy on adjustments...
mooman ,clubin they will tell ya same...go with the 813 carb Good tune pipe Rear Dom ...AKAslawhammer
 
as far as i think the best performance upgrades are your gears,in my opinion a good ported zenoah head and crank bigbore kit good intake alloy one,jetpro pipe or if you could get your hands on one a good rn tuning pipe.

as far as boost bottles go,i have no experience with them but for the price you couldnt expect much from them.dnt expect much from them.

with the above i mentioned more than enough power to satisfy any mans power needs.
its a matter of your gearing if you want on road speed and same applies for off road.

why don't you try the fg 26/38 clutch/spur set up and 17/48 layshaft/spur for onroad speed with a decent engine setup and pipe,will blow your car well over 100kmh

I agree with slawhammer, invest in a 813 nad ADA intake. Boost bottles, theoretically should work, but...... I realy don't think they are all they are that great a good pipe will make a big difference. I just mounted up a DDM 130 on a ported g260 that makes that engine haul ASS. I am running a 813 and ADA intake. Good combination.

I am running the stock gear and I am waiting for my new engine to arrive (Cy Gp290) I was just curious about the boost bottles, just to see if they really did anything or not.. I thought they looked kinda cool. I had one on my Savage years ago and everytime I took the body off, the the guys would say "Damn you have a boost bottle too!!" I knew it did nothing for the truck, but the WOW factor really impressed the locals.

Similarly with my FG, I don't even have to start it and I have guys pouring all over me, then I yank the body and the first thing everybody sees is my glistening Jet-Pro!! "Damn look at that pipe!!" (You need to know, the guys around here think the Savage is Big truck!) Then I start the MT, all the nitro's shut off and people are coming out of the woodwork to see it!! They get a kick out of the cable brakes too, so I guess the boost bottles are for a WOW factor and if they actually did something that would be even better!

I am not much into top end speed, more like a good blend of all. I am waiting to stuff the motor in and run it before I start playing with gears, but I am figuring I am going to go up 2 teeth on the pinion and down on the spur. I was told the motor would have more than enough power to spin that gear.

100km's That is just too damn fast for me, I'm gettin' old and my reaction time is slowing down... LOL ...Besides, a 30 pound truck doing a 100 foot wheelie at 50mph always impresses the spectators and me too for that matter...

ya know, i think we should both get them!! i am really sure they do nothing at all. but for the "WOW" i'll get 2!! and as far as the "cat" on youtube who swears by them? he probly sells them. it seams like an easy setup, and by the looks of them they sell themself.. hmm? BUT, i have seen some old fg on-roads at the track and they used to come with a simular design. big plastic bottle hanging off the intake. i asked a guy if it works and he said....NO.. but he had to leave it on couse of the hole in the intake
 
The guy on youtube was a slightly unusual fellow, I don't want to say much because he may be on here, but his truck is a Clone MT with FHmt tires on the back and buggy tires in the front... and he really likes to play in the snow! I'll leave it at that.

I think 1 would be kinda cool but 7 would be REALLY cool!! I am kidding... But I think a pair of them may be cool looking.

NO WAY!:no:

And a great quote:

OK, I am forced to do it, These guys are the worst kind of poophole scammers there are. First off, these things do not work in a motor this small, if these idiots had any clue as to how and why they theoretically work, they would not sell "double" bottles, and essentially only 2 sizes for everything from 23cc to 50-60cc engines. As mentioned above, the bottle needs to be tuned to the displacement of the motor. These guys throw up (as in vomit) a bunch of techno-babble to try and impress you, and fool you into thinking they have any sort of clue as to what they are doing, with the goal of getting your money.

I would like to point out a few other "suspicious" points about these guys. if you go to their website - http://www.boostinductionsystems.com/ , they claim to have a store front, they even have pictures of this supposed store. Here are the issues, there is no address, no city, no street, no number, the second issue, is the store they are showing pictures of, well, thats not there store, it MY old pocketbike shop that was located in Sunnyvale CA (which is gone now). I have plenty of other pictures of me and some friends there in the store.

If these idiots will lie to you about a store front, using someone else's store pictures, what else aren't they telling you. And if you need it spelled out for you, its this, you buy our product, your a sucker

I know, I read that just after I started the thread... Then I saw how to use the search link!!!!! 2 years and I finally figured it out. Lmao... But I still think they look cool...

It sounds good in theory but... I have too many nightmares of playing with dry nitrous kits in my past. ('70 SS El Camino Injected 427 BBC 6-71 blower) ...The only way to make N2o work is to have enough fuel to mix with the N2o. (Nitrous has it's own oxidizer) The problem with our motors is, in order to have enough fuel for the N2o, you have to adjust your carb so rich it doesn't want to run properly, then when the N2o kick in it runs great. But if the N2o isn't being applied, it is too damn rich. That's why N2o kits for the automotive world have separate jets for fuel and the nitrous. That way you car will run normally when your not on "The Gas".

BTB, this is not an attack on you by any means, but I am sure they are a few people that have thought about the nitrous setup and I am just trying to clarify how nitrous works. Actually I was about to post a thread on this very subject, now I don't have too!

Now, if I could find a way to hook up a fuel injector, that would be a different story!! Then I would be all over it. But the WOW effect would be even cooler with them both, I guess I have to do some thinking. It would be great if the small scale (nitrous) manufactures would come up with a way of compressing fuel into a bottle, like they do with the nitrous. That would be cool.

BTB you have always been there for me and I DO NOT want to offend you!! You know more about this hobby, then I could ever imagine!! You're my large scale hero!

When it comes to N2o I have not the foggiest idea how to. Thats a post from a member here that hooked it up. In theory it sounds cool but I could never do it.:no:

You didn't come off offensive at all.:)
 
Oh OK BTB I was hoping I didn't!...

Allnach (I think that's how he spelled it he has a light blue FG M/T in his avitar) ...Anyway he did a review on N2o (or is it NO2, I can't remember) and after watching his videos on youtube, it got me to thinking about this. If the fuel to air mixture is off, then it will run lean. Nitrous has it's own oxidizer, so it would have to run rich, if the nitrous isn't being applied. I remember watching his video before he added the nitrous and his truck ran just like mine... But after he installed it, it just didn't have the punch it did before.

If the motor was tuned to run (without nitrous) as soon as the nitrous is applied, it would starve for fuel and the motor would burn itself to the ground. I personally think, adding Nitrous to our 2-stoke motors is about as effective as adding a supercharger to them! It is a waste of money, but "they" sure look cool!
