With all the talk lately about the fairly new Boondocker nitrous sytem..is it worth the risks? Seems like a cheap way to gain some serious HP..but are these nitrous system reliable..what risks are there and has anyone "blown up"..be honest..

I'm looking for alittle more straight line speed for the occasional drag, but like the power my DS makes for trail riding and general duning..thats why the Boondocker system has caught my eye. But seriously, I don't have the extra cash to to fix a NOS detonation..

The 46HV Lectron is another option, but am alittle concerned about the "stuck shut" problem I keep hearing about, as I trail ride alot as well...

Advice??

 

i heard there is a kit that connect to your air filter box, i may be wrong though.

 

Well the boondocker kit is real simple and straight foward. It doesn't make the power of a wet system but it is way more reliable. There is only one silonoid that controls the fuel and nos at the same time. The system uses the bottle pressure to regulate the float bowl pressure and force more fuel into the engine when the system is activated. It was real easy to install and tune. It does make good power and I think that i gained about 10 - 12 bike lengths with the addition of the bottle.

What makes the system so safe is that if the silonoid goes out then the whole system won't work unlike a wet system if the fuel pump or fuel siloniod goes out BOOM.

 

If you just want some more power, I would say the boondockers would be good for you, especially since you are just started out with n20. It would be much easier for you, and no lectron or any carb. for that matter is going to give you the power n20 will.

Has I blown anything up with it..YOU BET..but it wasnt the n20 fualt, it was mine trying to give the motor more n20 then it could handle. If you keep it under control you will be fine.

 

Is the Boondocker kit relatively easy to install? I'm "OK" as far as mechanical ability is concerned...but have concerns in setting up/tuning something like this myself.

 

Of all the N2O options available the BD setup is the simplest to install and tune. No fuel pump or fuel solonoid in the BD system.

 

Yup it is real easy install, the hardest part is finding a good place to put the bottle. If you look at 650viper pics he has some install pics. I have my bottle in the same location and it seems to work real good there. The wiring is real straight foward and the only thing is you will have to splice some more wire in to get the setup right but it was real easy.

 

I would agree, the Boondocker is the simplest and probably the safest. Very little tuning is involved from what I've read, and the product seems to be of high quality.
Yes, the wet systems can be interesting to say the least. Set up is a complete "One-off" installation. That is to say that it is a custom install for everyone. DEFINITELY a LOT more parts to fail on a wet system. The nice thing is that because you put the time into the install, you'll know your sled like the back of your hand. Once you are at one with your ride (Grass Hopper), you'll be more in tune to what your bike likes and dislikes.

let us know how it goes.

Remember that you DON'T have a forged piston on a stock bike. That will be the ultimate limiting factor as you move through the power increases. In my humbel opinion, 15 - 20hp is about as high as you would want to go for a sustained spray. I know, I know there are probably a good handfull of people running more than that on a stock piston........ Here's to ya! Just trying to keep the guy together.
