Nos On Scoot?

[martdaman]

Hey,

My mate just brought this octane booster for his derbi senda 50 and put it in his fuel tank, like it says to and he was going along with me and my bike always beats his but this time he started going in front on flat and then down hill it left me and i mean it it flew. So he pulls over and tells me he had something like 89MPH! on the clock on a geared 50! Could this octane booster really do this, he knows that it may cause engine problems like melting the ring, blowing up etc but 89MPH!

I am now thinking of buying some for my gilera dna 50 which is a automatic should it be alright?

If it was that simple tuning wouldn't exist.

I'd stay well away, It'll fuck your engine.

LMAO. I'm not even going to bother explaining why this is BS.

I used to use it in my stock cars to make it run a touch more crisp as well as advance the timing slightly.. Octane booster will not make that much difference to its performance
I'd say there was some 'bar stool bollox' going on there.

Oh, i also didn't know a 50cc moped would have a speedo that read upto 90mph.............he must have been looking at Km

LAnd speed record for a geared 50 is currently 83mph.

Enough said.

LMFAO 89mph can the crank even support that power

[sickpup]

[tater]

your mates talking bullshit, a friend of mine had a Derbi senda 50 and it never made that speed think he got 60mph, i have used octane boost when i use to ride mx on a 125 all it does is make the motor feel more crisp, thats all it does. Read the side of the octane boost it will tell you if it can be put in an automatic, but i can't see why not, and don't put tomuch in either!

I'm still waiting for the bit about NOS..

all I can see is BS about octane boosters

Hi

On its own boosting the octane rating will give no extra power at all.

It is possible to mix up special fuels to get more power but the difference is going to be small without engine mods.

Feef - NOS is a trade name, and they have started selling some stuff in a can to add to the petrol tank. It is not nitrous oxide.

All the best

NOS = Nitrous Oxide Systems.

Nitrous oxide is N2O.

All the best

The stuff your talking about doesnt realy increase performance. it has a small about of detergant that cleans your carb and engine. using it for a period of time will show only slight increase in performance. probably only making the acceleration crisper. They put fancy names on it to make boy racers think they can outrun a ferrari.

As Keith said, an octane booster only raises the knock index and allows you to run more ignition advance. If you are running a fixed ignition curve (just about any car/bike without a knock sensor) you will get no benefit. With knock sensing you will get a small increase in power and a more responsive pickup.

A lot of race fuels have a higher knock index but the main reason they increase performance is they have a higher calorific value and release more energy whe they burn.

This NOS octane booster stuff is basically a con with just enough truth in their marketing to avoid getting into trouble.

89 mph on a 49cc Derbi Senda is complete and utter bullshit.

This thread is funny!

Kinda reminds me of Doc Brown screaming "88 miles per hour!!"

A "claimed" 89MPH, down hill, with the wind behind him after putting a fuel additive in his tank! Puuuuuuuurlease!!

Funniest part is that 89MPH isn't even fast! I'm usually sitting up with my left hand on my leg at 89MPH! (Erm, going in a straight line of course... )

Bit off topic, but another thing that makes me laugh is when I see scooter boys leaning forward over the bars, thinking they'll go faster! Now that just looks plain stupid and makes me laugh every time!!
