how much nitrous are we talking about?

MOST likely, ur stock motor would handle a 50 shot, but w/ the laughing gas, u really never know.

be safe buddy an be sure to post ur results.

50 shot is fine with stock everything, im assuming you have a zex kit, practice launching dont rev to redline and drop the clutch you'll spin to hell as nitrous engages at wot

yeup...

to help ur motor handle it, stay above 3k rpm, and stay atleast 200rpm away from redline.

N2O is Great

OH My god I was so happy with it. But I have a leak in my nitrous line anyway I raced and did not know about leak and it still made my car 5 cars faster. This shit is great when I fix the Line I will be more happy
My kit is a little ghetto I have Compucar all the way up to the Noids then after that my kit turns into NOS for the Fogger Nozzle LOL and my Noids are mounted with Zip Ties but hey it works

I need to know what Shot I have

With Compucar 37 N20 and 26 Fuel is 50 Hp
and also a 44 N20 with 33 Fuel is 90 HP

I have 40 N20 and 28 Fuel

with 1000psi to 900psi in bottle at all times Stock fuel Psi is 35- 40 psi


if you can help me with what shot I have plz let me know

You can't go by the compucar jet chart you need to go by the NOS chart b/c you have thier nossle, and 40N20 and 28 Fuel is kinda hard to say b/c the 40 N20 with a 25 Fuel is good for 65 hp and the 28 Fuel with a 43 N20 is good for 80hp. So seeing how you will be running extremely rich I would estimate it being a 55-60 hp shot because it is not the correct fule to nitrous ratio. But you won't have to worry about it running lean :grinno:

Is that a NOS chart that you sent me along time ago if not do you have one now

Redrunner

Also can somebody plz tell me how to order the jets for NOS and where to get them and the ones i need

whtteg
10-26-2003, 11:48 PM
Yes that is a NOS chart I sent you awhile back. Here is a link to the jets part numbers jets then go to <A href="http://www.summitracing.com/"; target=_blank>www.summitracing.com (http://www.holley.com/HiOctn/ProdLine/Products/NOS/NOSCA/FlareJet.html) and type in the part number. This is the best way to tell you how to buy them b/c I don't know about shops around your area.

dude, say goodbye to your engine.

Advice:
Launch at 90% throttle then floor it after 3k rpms to spray. I assume you don't have a tachometer (which is something you NEED when spraying) so shift early to prevent tossing a rod into the crowd or something. Nitrous is something only advance drivers should use, it's not a toy for people running 17.7's in a DX. I learned that the hard way, twice, because I'm thick-skulled.

My best time spraying when I had my DX engine was a 14.9 with i/h/e, 255lph fuel pump, ACT clutch, on street tires. That time was with a perfect run, but I averaged 15.2 normally.

How long you think I got till I blow it. LOL I never use first gear anyway I have a Honda never really need it I keeo up with everything off the line just 2nd gear that sucks

so I use 2nd gear and once i am in front I cut it off and use my engine really only got it cuz of 2nd gear and its only a 55 shot

I think I will be ok. But then again I did use it to pass this old lady. I could not help it :rofl:

You'll find yourself filling the bottle every few days like an addictive drug. You'll start hearing misfires from your rings being eaten up if you use it too much and too often. Make sure you check your spark plugs OFTEN for white spots (which I hope you have 2-step colder plugs right now, NGK BKR7E's or something). Good luck to you, and have fun responsibly or you'll find yourself swapping engines, not by choice. Then again, it would be a perfect opportunity to get a loan for a tasty dohc vtec :)

Ty hey what size Jets did do you use for a 55 shot

also what was your fuel PSI




whtteg

Sometimes the best way to get experience is to just try it. This is something that is not really in that class but stil he has been asking alot of questions and I have been answering alot of stuff for him and from the conversations on aim I think he has a good idea of how it works etc. But help is just a click or two away, that is the great thing about this forum:thumbsup:

Ty I know alot about n2o I guess and what i dont know I ask I mean my system runs fine now i fix everything ( I ask people listen and fixed) best way to do it.

But Now I am starting to think god does not want me to have n2o he is giving me to many sign. Today I got fixed everything perfect Jets and all and go to turn bottle on and my bottle is hot as hell I try to keep it hot. For those who do not know you want it hot cuz you will get more PSI ( I know something :lol2: ) and lol my bottle was empty. and here it is 3 bucks a lb so I have to wait till friday or saturday to use my kit with everything perfect
