Whats required for nitrous

**dagger** · 02-02-2010

Exactly what do I need to have to say run a 125 or 150 shot? I honestly don't know much about it other than its appealing to me. Its cheap, makes good power and for a DD like mine its nice to have the power when needed but not on all the time. I have a built trans so thats not a worry and I'll have headers on soon as well. So what else would I need (other than the kit). Also I know the different between a dry and wet kit and that a wet kit is better but how much harder is it to install?

You need to call Gerber...for all the recommended dosage of BABY your putting into that thing

you can run a 100 shot on a stock car without much worries i would think. reducing the timing while youre spraying would probably be a good idea though.

colder plugs, reduced timing after 125shot..... 4* to be exact.

tune it, colder plugs, and a window switch! you should be fine with out taking out timing on a 100 shot, anything past that i would def tune it! and anything higher then 93 when ever you can.... if you really want to spray the car with a 150 shot i would do the following...

colder plugs, msd window switch, tuning, and a stand alone fuel system just for the nitrous kit... a nitrous kit is a low psi system.. i would make a standalone system,with a fuel pump, maybe a 1-2 gallon tank, psi regulator&using race gas..im sure you can find some where an already used fuel standalone for nitrous.. if not,it would prob run you maybe 500 at best. plus the nitrous kit... and it never hurts to throw in a fuel psi switch just in case.... i know this my sound like a prostock set up.. but if you want the easy way then put the wet kit on,put the 100 shot pills in and spray away and enjoy!

Ahhh ok so 100 shot is pretty much it until you start to really need to look at doing a bit more. I honestly don't know much about tuning and having a stand alone system for the nitrous. I'll have to do some more research and come back on here and ask a few questions when I get stuck. Thanks.

i would still go with at least one step colder in plugs just for spraying the 100shot and of course 93+ oct gas!

Looks like this threads been dead for a while... but since its on the topic. What kind of shot would you recomend for a car with the mods in my sig plus 42lb injectors and Autolite 103s.

**Bio248** · 05-17-2010

lower your timing and run a 100 shot. see how the car likes it and go from there.

**TorqueAutoMotiv** · 05-17-2010

maybe i should go n2o instead of meth

**00RegalGS** · 05-17-2010

I was thinking more along the lines of a 75 shot at most lol

**Bio248** · 05-17-2010

that would be even easier. even so, lower your timing to start or your motor might not survive through the spray.

**00RegalGS** · 05-17-2010

ok cool thanks man

**TheOtherNick** · 05-17-2010

I would defiantly get a tuner. Start with low timing and see what you end up with. Also probably want a little more fuel added if using a dry shot.

I usually only spray a 60-65 dry shot.

I run a NOS Nitrous dry set up, with a window switch. I use the nitrous more for a air cooler, than a horse power gain. The added power is just a happy side effect.

The engine I built I made it so I can run a large shot, forged pistons, larger ring gap, S3 nitrous blower cam etc. Might venture up into the larger shot, but with a dry or wet kit you start running into even distribution problems.

Such as cylinders 5, and 6 kinda get starved of the nitrous.

I created my own D.P.N.I. plate.

Direct port nitrous injection.

1" thick billet, and screw over priced fuel logs, I made my own injector spacers from stainless steel.

*NOTE: GenIII LIM GenV D.P.N.I. Plate*

My billet "Y" fitting I made from some scrap. One line, two lines out.

I'll have to get some installed pictures taken some time. Its all polished and looking bling.
