Updated NITROUS thread for N/A, any newcomers? Upgrades shots or new stories?

[3startuna]

id start with a 50 shot.

Not too hard and not as much extra work and relatively safe, till you get used to living with the rules.

Make sure you have a covered cutoff switch, that thing is a life saver! and always purge the lines when your done.

Keep the bottle off when your not using it. That will prevent any accidental
Spraying.

If you try the 50 and like it id move up from there.

The awesome thing about nitrous is that you can just keep expanding on it. bigger shoots, cool upgrades etc.

You dont need to spend an arm and a leg on a big kit when your just starting out. You can start with a cheaper kit and build it up.

Oh yeah, he's wanting to advertise his speed shop, so he's giving me a full bells and whistles setup at cost. I just have to show off the sticker under the hood. This is my 5th motor that he's built, we're on good terms now.

+1 for direct port on a 150 shot, progressive controller would be nice too but you could probably get away with a window switch.

For the person wanting to know what to start with, I would also reccommend a 50 shot just to get the feel for it, and make sure your car is running properly and you have the proper precautions completed, compression check, tune up, upgraded fuel pump, colder sparks, (making sure to use at least 93 octane!) etc.

Going up to a 100 shot on our motors won't be a problem as long as your motor is healthy, but anything after that I'd def. reccommend the direct port, tune, wideband, lowered/forged pistons basically a whole list of different mods to ensure proper reliability and safety for the big shots.

BTW: I'm quiet suprised in my poll how half of the members voted said they were considering nitrous, looks like 3SI has come along way from the nitrous makes your car blow up theory years back.

Alright guys IM ready to start spraying TODAY. The problem is everyone I talk to is down sizing my kit and saying dont use it. I have a NX cheater 50shot DRY. It only has a 2lb bottle. I have all lines a fuel pump cut off switch, WOT switch which is also wired to a button on the dash. People are saying dry is bad and will melt pistons and burn up my motor. I dont have any gauges but am looking into some. Give me some Ideas and advice on this. Also post up a link if you have a a great gauge recommenedation.

These same people that are telling you a 50 dry shot will melt pistons, and tear up your motor, have any of them actually used nitrous before or even know how it works? Anyways wet shot is always considered to be safer, but a lot of people argue on our platform dry is better because we don't always get equal distribution, but direct port can help solve that with ease. I don't think its necessary at all however if you are staying under a 75 dry shot.

Your starting off with a 50 shot, its small its safe, try it out see how you like it then bump it up to 75 if you feel it reacts well. Honest to god when I first started spraying 95% of my friends told me I was crazy and 3KGT couldn't handle the 75shot, nitrous is only meant for muscle cars not imports, and I was going to blow my motor, I had lost my mind blah blah blah.

Now 95% of my friends sad to say are now considering nitrous on their own vehicles after seeing the benefits and easy install/use, hows that for some major irony.

Moral of story: "A person is smart, rational, and courageous, People on the other hand are pessimistic, ignorant, and quick to judge with little to no knowledge on the subject at all."

Hope that helps, don't be afraid to try it, you won't live to regret it.

I heard I could but a cut off switch and set it to a certian RPM I have also heard about cut off switches involving Fuel pressure and oil pressure which cut off NOS if anything drops too low. So if the NOS ever comes my way I will try it. I know it has to be done right so thats where Ill be paying out the ass.

it wont melt a fucking thing....they're retarded

on another note, i had my truck tuned on the 100 shot and ended up with 259hp and 329ftlbs. that was 94 and 129 over stock. not too bad for a NA.

Like gauges, what type of shot, how extreme of a kit, etc. I'd like to get one in the future but i'd like to do it right now go all out and lose an engine.

Talk to terry (Maximal), I was planning on doing a nitrous setup on my SL before I got t-boned and he had a nice setup laid out for me.

If I get another NA I'm definetely giving my business to him.

[hawk362]

Yeah Terry's a good guy to work with, he should be able to get you setup with what your looking for on Maximal Performance. Make sure you do plenty of reseach on nitrous before you jump in. Plenty of info. in this thread alone as well as many others on this site.
