I have a stock car other then the popcharge intake. I want to put nitrus on and i was thinking going with a 75 shot to be safe. Going 75 shot instaed of 100 is that gonna be much different as far as safety for my engine?

 

I have nitrous and I've done a lot of research on this topic. I also spoke directly with Nitrous Xpress. As a dealer, NX reccommends nothing more than a 75 shot with one steo colder plugs. However, after reading numerous forum posts of Z's with nitrous, it seems that a 100 shot(installed correctly and tested properly) on stock internals safe for our car. Members have posted after 1-2 years of nitrous and no problems. HOWEVER, there are exceptions to everything.....so spray wisely!!!
I love my nitrous....I've been on a 75 shot for about 2+ weeks now and I;m going to up it to 100 this weekend and feel the difference. I ran a buddy of mine that used to pull hard on me by 3-4 cars, now I walk him.

 

Gonna have to play with the fuel jets to get the mixture right on anything above a 75 shot. Audible Mayhem was running 150 shot on stock internals (he did have a UTEC though). I'll be running 125 shot with a UTEC - stock block.

 

You wont even feel a 75 shot on this car man, thats weaksauce. 100 shot minimum, tune the A/F, retard timing to be safe or run 100 octane at least to help you with stock timing if your running that.

 

Al is right. the 75 shot feels okay......then you step up to a 100 and you are like woo hoo!!!! it doesn't make sense, but that is the way it is.

 

I have never ridden in a car with nitrous, does 25 more whp make that big of a difference? May be a stupid question, but curious none the less.

 

you wouldn't think so, but it does.

I started with a 35hp jet just to test the system......and I couldn't feel a thing. totally serious!!!

then, I rejetted for a 50 shot, and I was like "this sucks!. I must have ****ed soemthign up." I took things apart and check the jets to make sure there wasn't a restriction. No restrictions....fuel and nitrous flowed perfectly.

I upped the jets to a 75 shot....now we are getting somewhere, but this is nowhere like I remember my other nitrous experiences.

Finally, up it to the 100 shot (by NX standards - more like a 125 according to NOS). DAMN!!!!!!! I punched it from 2000 in 2nd gear and smoked the hides all the way to redline!!!!! PERFECT!!!!

 

Cool, I can understand that. I can remember going from a supercharged v8 4runner awd to the na Z, and thinking the Z is pretty quick, then I put the TN kit on there and man it felt like a friggin rocket, then we put the spacer, injectors, fuel return, and exhaust then had it tuned, dear God felt like HE77 on wheels. Now I am going twins with a wicked exhaust, can't wait!!!!

Not trying to steal/hijack the nos thread, but getting kind of excited about my new set up.

 

this post is terrible...I bet by next weekend I'll have the 75 shot jets removed and the 100 installed - it just sounds like too much fun to miss out on!

 

What upgrades should i do to my engine before i can run 100 shot?

 

SPRAY= GAY...STAY n/a....you'll just end up not like the vq...
P.S. ANYONE ELSE WHO SPRAYS IS WACK

 

I changed my plugs out to NGK iridiums (1 step colder).....that's it!

I ran an NX setup. 52 nitrous jet / 31 fuel jet. It is a little fatter than neccesary, but a bit safer too. I was trapping at a hair under 111 mph in a 6mt G35 Sedan on the spray.

 

DOC, where in SA did you get your nitrous kit installed? How much did it run you? I myself have never really thought of going with nitrous but man for the price its looking better and better to me..

 

I go to Top Notch Performance on nacodoches Rd. Mike and Colt run the show there....tell them I sent you and you will get 10% or so off. The price varies depending on what kind of set up you're looking at. Give or take it will run about $1,000 for a 100 HP gain, you can't beat it!!!

 

search around. buy the accessories you really need, and self install it. It is very easy.

necessary accs are: bottle heater, cockpit pressure gauge, and maybe a remote opener if you like to use it a the drop of a hat!

 

with a fuel pressure gauge, what exactly are you looking for? what is a normal range or does that depend on the amount of nitrous being sprayed...

 

our cars should be around 52 psi. It is dropping while spraying, you need a bigger pump. the stock pump should be fine on a 100 shot though.

Unfortunatley, I didn't have a fuel pressure gauge when I had my nitrous system installed.

 

I will +1 on the bottle heater. Here in San Antonio when the temp are now in the 50's & 60's in the morning my pressure is way to low to spray. I would definately get the bottle heater. I have 2 5lb bottles, I have not seen warmers for them yet, although I know their available.

 

I guess I'm wack....have fun looking at my tail lights.

 

The only way I'll be looking at your tail lights is by giving you a 2 car lead at the start.......lol....just kidding.....not starting trouble.........
