Thread: Direct injection nitrous and methanol

I've got a supercharged L67 grand prix, it's intercooled with an xp cam. I'm thinking about taking the intercooler of and the supercharger off and installing an N/A upper intake and then using the extra bungs for a direct inject nitrous and methanol setup.

Could you put a kit together that would do that?

What at do you mean my car runs great without a supercharger belt or not.


But seriously, if you are going to go NA then methanol is going to be worthless as tits on a boar hog, nitrous though you could run a pretty good sized shot and it could run like a scalded ass ape. If you plan on adding a turbo then It's easy enough to adapt to the NA manifold.

the LIM is very similar to the 4.3L vortec engines of the late 90's and 00's I made one that adapted a Jag M112 to the Vortec lower but had to raise it about 2.250" to get what I felt was enough area to get to the ports. It was run in a rock crawler for about 6 months until my buddy decided to get an LS6 then thr engine was sold and parted out. I still have the stock lower and upper I made for that in storage, if he needs to see what I did, but it looks like he wants to run NA.

I would just take the supercharger of and go na. I had someplace that methanol and nitrous worked well together, but obviously the nitrous is going to make a lot more power. The direct injection is just an idea, it might be easier and cheaper to run separate methanol and nitrous systems and just inject it through a throttle body spacer, and then just block of the extra injector bungs.

Just pull the m90 and add a turbo kit, you can run the alky injection and a bit of N2O with that setup.

I was thinking if I took my supercharger off and the intercooler off and sold them then I would have money to fund a turbo install. how much do you guys think I could get for my supercharger and intercooler setup? its a W-Body store ported gen 3 case with a newer gen 3 rotor pack that has the gen 5 rotor coating. the LIM is ported, it was ported by Ed Labarge aka sseilmnop to match his phenolic intercooler, and I'm running a frozenboost heat exchanger. I have a friend trying to sell his turbo setup for 1500, and if I can get close to that much for the setup I can probably persuade my wife to let me do it. also have a northstar tb with the maf that I would sell.

whats the LSA on the XP cam? Pretty wide? I've been looking for that post for a while
now with the cam specs but can't seem to find it.

ps I'll give you a dollar for the IC.

Lsa is 116
