14.9 with nitrous? Is it just me or does that sound low?

Post by **UncleBen** » Sat Sep 28, 2002 9:13 pm

blink, you mean low as in slow, or low as in faster than you thought? that sounds about right. thats actually slower than it prolly should be. dang humidity. a friend w/ a auto '95 SX was sprayin 75 shot and got like a 14.6 or sumthin. he just has hotshot intake, and had the N1 single on there. so when all the dew and stuff gets outa there, you'll be flyin redrocket!

I am thinking if we make it to the track next weekend I might have some new numbers too post but so far that is my fastest time. BTW have you talked to cnichols about making it to the meet?

Post by **UncleBen** » Sat Sep 28, 2002 9:13 pm

yea i have actually. he sounds excited, and said he's gonna try and get both his 240's there. he'll, of course, roll up in the turbo KA. a buddy of his might bring his sprayin '95 auto. if we don't make it to the track, fred (palmerwnd) thinks we might could have another meet, in addition to this one. this one could be to meet everyone, chill and stuff, then another one to go down to the track and race. sounds good to me : )

How many miles do you have on your motor? I was thinking about getting a 30 shot on my 118k mile engine. Is that horrible?

if you guys do this and i still can't make it, promise me you'll be taking lots of pics! the 240 guys never seem to come out for meets and the one time they do i'll probably miss it.

I am going to try to get my Dad's digital camera and bring it to take some pics.

Hey nitrous is just a boost, just like a turbo, and a turbo is being used all the time. with a dry shot of nitrous, its pretty safe.

Post by **Mayhem_J30** » Sat Sep 28, 2002 9:13 pm

danejah, watch yo self

Post by **UncleBen** » Sat Sep 28, 2002 9:13 pm

ok whats the difference between wet and dry shot of nitrous? i've heard of using the "wet kit" cause its better for some reason. i just never really have known the difference in the wet and dry kits. doesn't the wet go in w/ gasoline or sumthing? i dont' know, i heard that from a ricer guy w/ a civic. so he may be BSin. yea bring your digi. camera if you can redrocket, cause i don't have one:( i have the good ole 35mm, take it to wal-mart and get processed, film

Post by **redrocket** » Sat Sep 28, 2002 9:13 pm

a wet kit premix's the gas and the nitrous and then a dry kit just sprays straight nitrous

Post by **UncleBen** » Sat Sep 28, 2002 9:13 pm

yea, i kinda figured it was something like that.

Post by **GatorS14** » Sat Sep 28, 2002 9:13 pm

i have a automatic s14 and i ran a 16.3.i just ordered my zex kit what do you think my next run will be?

Post by **GatorS14** » Sat Sep 28, 2002 9:13 pm

red rocket are those mustang rims?

Post by **redrocket** » Sat Sep 28, 2002 9:13 pm

zex kit running a 75 shot will be in the 14's............ just a word to the wise be careful with that zex kit.............. yes they are mustang rims

Post by **GatorS14** » Sat Sep 28, 2002 9:13 pm

careful as in........? rims look nice,what did you do with the ponys?

Post by **redrocket** » Sat Sep 28, 2002 9:13 pm

I have heard somewhere so don't really quote me on it but the zex computer will get stuck and just keep spraying but then again I don't really know I have a nx express kit........................ the ponies are still there for right now I haven't had the time to get them off going to need bondo and touch up paint to do it

Post by **GatorS14** » Sat Sep 28, 2002 9:13 pm

thanks for the heads up, yea get them ponies off there,but they do look really unique

Post by **redrocket** » Sat Sep 28, 2002 9:13 pm

Thank you

Post by **240SXer** » Sat Sep 28, 2002 9:13 pm

Why nitrous at the track only? I wanted to get a 30 shot with a remote opener just to give me a little kick anytime somone pulls up. I raced a V6 mustang with 3 dudes in it and I barely pulled till like 85 then I started roasting on them. But a damn V6 mustang!! ahhh.. It might not have been stock I guess. Since my friend's new auto V6 only ran 17.5

Post by **UncleBen** » Sat Sep 28, 2002 9:13 pm

i need to do sumthin. small shot at least. cause i need to make up for that stupid auto..

Post by **240SXer** » Sat Sep 28, 2002 9:13 pm

Gotta remember that power kills autos. Unless you were going to build a race auto. It's only like 3,500 to buy one from Level10.com.. hahaha 3,500!!!!!!!!! But be carefull, I ruined my Truck's tanny like that. My truck's auto costs 1,800 to rebuild, my 240's manual is 800. I'd just save my money for a manual swap if I were you. Even if you get an SR in the future you'd still have to get all the manual parts so it's not too bad.

i have a 95" 240sx and run a 75 shot nx wet on it and it ran 14.3 . and spinning off the line pretty bad. motor is stock.it has a little more in it i think.

Post by **redrocket** » Sat Sep 28, 2002 9:13 pm

for some reason my car doesn't like the wet setup hey brian if you have a free weekend this saturday you ought to drive up to bowling green we are having a meet

Post by **Good240** » Sat Sep 28, 2002 9:13 pm

My friends 95' Neon 4 door SOHC automatic ran 17.9@79 with intake, header, and exhaust. He then used a NX 50 shot system to run 17.0@83. His trap speed was good for his car but it's got nothing off the line. On top of that it doesn't respond well to nitrous. 50 HP!?! Maybe 20... That's what he gets for racing out mom's car.

Post by **UncleBen** » Sat Sep 28, 2002 9:13 pm

neon w/ nitrous. how pathetic

Post by **240SXer** » Sat Sep 28, 2002 9:13 pm

haha.. I'd hate to have to smoke that Neon at a stoplight.

David.

Post by **MaineExport** » Sat Sep 28, 2002 9:13 pm

I can't wait until one of you guys gets scorched by a neon as bad as I did. I've blown the doors off a couple riced out neons.... but I got my a$$ handed to me by a total sleeper. I'd agree... it's pretty pathetic to build up a Neon... but it's even more pathetic when your 240 gets pooped on by one!
