a friend of mine is ready to buy his 1st nitrous kit and we were just wondering what our best option is

how much can we add?
which kits is the best..(in your opinion)
which do you have installed.....
ya know what i mean? anything you thnk will be helpful

thanks

 

first wrong thread, moving......


Guys run up to 150shots on the stock bottom end and a handfull run 175's. For most people yours best bet is a good safe 100shot. If you have the ***** for more nitrous its up to you. I run a 125wet shot.

There is no best kit out there, pick one you like and go with it.

I have installed NOS,ZEX,NX,Compucar,Nitrous works, and a Dynotune kit. They are all the same to install minus the ZEX which has only 3 wires to hook up plus the fuel and nitrous lines.

I dont know if you know alot about nitrous or not so i will just toss some basic info at you.

1.you need to run one step colder plugs up to a 125shot, above that 2 steps colder is a good idea. NGK TR6's or possibly autolite 103's are good.

2. you need to run a bigger fuel pump if you go over 100shot or if the pump is old upgrading it is a wise investment.

3.never spray before 3k rpms or you will risk a nasty nitrous backfire.

 

thanks man...i've read alot about it all BUT i never installed anything and i've never had anything installed so of course all i know is what i've read

nice tires by the way i got the same...on the back anyway

 

Any ol' retail kit designed for the car will work. Zex are super simple. others... not so much. Keep it at or below 100hp, and get a tune on a handheld or a flip chip just for nitrous. You don't want to use it with any kind of a performance tune or mod that advances timing as that could lead to major complications.

Just an aside since your pal is a nitrous newb...ask your friend if he can afford a new motor. If he can't then he's not ready to play with power adders. Yes you can safely run nitrous/turbo/blower on a stock motor at reasonable levels for a long time. Yes you could possibly drive for 200K miles blasting nitrous once a day. Yes it's infinitely more likely that you'll smoke the motor on a power adder than off. Most of the blown motors from blowers/nitrous I see are on cars belonging to people that didn't give the added power and stress the proper respect.
