does anyone run nitro on a storm on here?
it can be done on carbs cant it!?
Nitro
Re: Nitro
Don't know of anyone using Nitrous oxide on a storm but I used to use it on a car.
You also need an additional fuel supply, add more oxygen (as Nitrous) and you need extra fuel to match. Much more difficult on carbs as there's no fuel pump. Get the mixture wrong and you'll destroy the engine.
I had my system on a BMW 328i with a 100bhp shot and it was great for a year, then one of the fuel jets blocked up, got monumental missfiring for less then a second. After that it felt like it was running on 5 cylinders.
Stripped the engine and one piston came out in 3 parts. Ring lands had fractured and a crack right across the crown.
Get nitrous right and its very good but if one part fails it can lunch your engine.
I won't be bothering again

Re: Nitro
I found a bolt-on American kit for about £450-600 that seemed to be able to be fitted to a Storm engine pretty easily.
I posted it somewhere, a couple of years back, a search should find it.
Because the engine is relatively low compression you would be able to run it quite reliably, but perhaps a thin head gasket spacer would help.

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
