Nitrous, your thoughts

Post by **ZULU** » Tue Jun 01, 2004 9:12 pm

Hey guys,

Im considering getting Nitrous. No not to be rice or anything but to have a better chance of blowing my motor and get a rb from my local shop. So anyways What are you thoughts on nitrous and what kit do you guys think is best ?

Please dont flame me for my choice. It is a choice and im just asking opinions.

Nitrous is the best bang for the buck mod you can do, just make sure you read up on it really well and make sure you know everything you can about how it works before you use it

or, if you want to bust it, just redline it for a while in idle. or, throw rocks at it

lol j/k

Get a bigger fuel pump and a 150 shot and call it a day. The ka will blow over time. Might take a few bottles but hay youll run 13s.

Post by **Aries** » Tue Jun 01, 2004 9:12 pm

well, a 150 shot will last you several years.

Just don't go crazy (like my motor) and you'll be fine

i'm thinking about getting spray aswell. i a want 100-150 shot. do i need to strengthen the bottom end. this won't be untill i get the engine rebuilt.

Post by **Aries** » Tue Jun 01, 2004 9:12 pm

no.you can run a 150 on a stock bottom end.I do recommend the Walbro or NOS 255 LPH fuel pump though, as well as using all the safety equipment that comes with your nitrous kit.

Post by **Ghettokracker71** » Tue Jun 01, 2004 9:12 pm

Post by **SilviaS14KA24DE** » Tue Jun 01, 2004 9:12 pm

Post by **Aries** » Tue Jun 01, 2004 9:12 pm

I ran the compcar setup for well over a year. The only problem I had was it kept locking up the timing chain tensioners.

Post by **UncleBen** » Tue Jun 01, 2004 9:12 pm

I am gonna spray my car. I might spray as big as a 75 some, but mostly just a nice 35 or 50.

my friend is setting his up so he doesnt use it to gain a boost from it, but instead to cool the intake air... smart, if it turns ouut good for him i might try it...

Hows he setting the system up? some kind of collar to go around the intake pipe ? I've seen a kit called Cry-o2 that freezes a small bulb thing thats placed in the intake tract.

Post by **[Zero-S]** » Tue Jun 01, 2004 9:12 pm

Compressed co2 flowing through a ring on the the intake tract sounds like a good plan....supercool the ring, which in turn cools the intake charge. Hmm...and all the stuff can be bought locally. This sounds like a cool project.

not to hardcore hijack, but any benefit from nitrous in roadracing or autoX?

Post by **[Zero-S]** » Tue Jun 01, 2004 9:12 pm

Most likely not in auto-x, too many turns, engine is in the low rpms for alot of it. Road racing...maybe if there are alot of straights and you're crazy.

If you use nitrous the way it is supposed to be used, it's perfectly safe. Nitrous just has a bad rep from documentries like The Fast and the Furious. I recommend reading up on the systems by going to their sites and like gounc14 said, read up on nitrous itself and the individual systems so you fully understand how nitrous/ systems work.

Once you're done with your research, then start shopping for deals on the one you want.

Hey guys,

After tons o hours of research I have decided upon the Zex kit. From reviews and such I think its the way to go.. But I am now debating a WEt NOS system or DRY NOS ... I dont really know..that is puzzling me now

Post by **JESTER** » Tue Jun 01, 2004 9:12 pm

Oh my goodness!!!! These guys are on NICO and dont know about Aries!!!!

NITROUS OXIDE GOD of the 240SX universe.

But seriously, there is nothing wrong with using nitrous. Just make sure it is hooked up right.

Post by **[Zero-S]** » Tue Jun 01, 2004 9:12 pm

No, I've known about aires for a long time, just never saw a shot of his bay. All the colors...oooooo....

Dry=cheaper but less HP potential.

Wet=More expensive but more power.

Do you know the actual technical difference between the two?

Post by **SilviaS14KA24DE** » Tue Jun 01, 2004 9:12 pm

one is wet, one is dry.

I'm such a smartass!
