you can get a nos kit from potn.com link as follows- http://www.potn.co.uk/-_c5214_3174_4887_p1611005.htm

i think it will give about 150bhp boost but it is dangerous in a single shot so you will need a progressive controller aswell the nos kit itselft costs £574 and the controller costs £304.95 so not the cheapest bit of kit!! Hope this helps! Mark

Dont be silly! It would be fine. When you heat nitrous oxide to about 570 degrees F it splits into oxygen and nitrogen. So the injection of nitrous oxide into an engine means that more oxygen is available during combustion. Because you have more oxygen, you can also inject more fuel in turn means more power! you can put nos on any engine but the engine will run hotter thats why you need a progressive controller to controle how much nos is put into an engine too much in one go will blow the engine any engine for that matter! so a 1.4 will not blow up with the wright parts!!
