Hey all. I'm not really much of a nitrous guru, so i need some help. I'm planning on going the supercharger route in the future, but for now am looking at nitrous.
I'm only looking at about a 50hp shot. From what i understand the safest route is a wet system, as direct port would be way overkill, and i think a dry system is a bit risky.
I want the kit to be somewhat stealthy so i would probably go for either a twin 5lb bottle setup, or a 10lb bottle if i can fit it in the passenger side storage box.
My question to you guru's is what kit you would recommend that won't break the bank. I was looking at the NX EFI sytems, as they seem to be pretty well priced.
I already have the 1 step colder plugs and an AEM UEGO wideband.
Any help would be great. Thanks.

 

Help with what? You don't even have a question.

As far as supercharger and nitrous goes, I hear that's a great combo (nitrous's low end + supercharger's top end).

 

I wouldnt waste my time installing N20 for a 50 shot. You will be board of a 75 shot after about 2 bottles... I would start with 75 to get used to it then move to a 100 and be done with it. Any more then that and traction is a major issue. I can roast them through all the gears basically with my dynotune 100shot with Decent 275 Eagle F1's.

 

There is a question there. What would you recommend?

 

I don't want to go any higher than 50, as i will be keeping the N20 when i get the supercharger done.

 

I disagree completely with "don't waste your time on a 50 shot" statement, especially given the OP's mods list (mainly the supercharger). I don't have turbo nor super, but I started out with a 35 shot. You ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS want to start out low and feel out the newly added power to see how your car likes it.

As far as recommending a kit, you have to realize that this is all personal and will always be biased. However, with that being said, I will let you search what you think is the best in your opinion and then have you ask us about that kit. With a simple search, you can find out what kind of kit each member has here. I will tell you, though, that most of us have minor gripes about each different kit (including the ones that we own).

 

Sorry I missed the part about adding a supercharger with it. Thats gonna be ****! I would love to have something mild like a Stillen SC with a 75 shot.

 

Well i was thinking about the ZEX SMART kit, or the NX Stage 1 EFI kit.
Although i'm not sure if with the NX kit i would have to keep repressing the "GO" button every time i let off the throttle (changing gear), whereas with the ZEX kit it would spray as soon as i floor it again after changing gear.
What do you reckon?

 

You can make any kit spray only at WOT with a TPS (throttle position sensor).

 

Yes i understand that. What i mean is wether when i lift off the throttle and then repress it will i have to hit the button again, or would it be like the ZEX kit where as long as the system is armed, every time i hit WOT it will spray.

 

any kit with a tps sensor would work like the zex

 

If you're talking about the Fast and the Furious (back in the old day) style where you press a button to activate, then whenever you're holding the button down (regardless of rpm and all else) is the only time it'll ever engage.

 

Oh man i feel like such a noob now!
I was thinking exactly like on F&F back in the day with the red button, but i didn't want that. Of course i'm not realising how much nitrous technology has probably progressed.
So basically the TPS switch would become the little red button on the steering wheel.

 

Kind of, except you don't really have total control over when it sprays as it will do that on its own as long as you reach the preset voltage (should be set to whatever the WOT voltage is on your car, which varies from car to car and even from one weather to another).

 

i'm installing nitrous wet 50hp wth twin 10lb bottle today, and got vortech supercharger with 2.87 and 34 tooth pulley, so i'll post a video after i get installed.

 

i cannot wait to see that vid!!
