Nitrous kits

I was wondering if anyone is on the bottle. I'm pondering the idea while I save for a turbo kit. it's pretty inexpensive and can be converted to cool the intercooler. Does anyone have a particlar brand they've heard works well with the tib? I have 03 I-4 so kits will be different than from the v-6. The stock internals should be able to handle a 50 shot no problem, but I'm looking to see if anyone has had good/bad experiences with it. Oh yeah and wet or dry? this is a pretty big debate all over the place, but I was wondering what you guys think?

if youre not familiar with nitrous, stay away from it...
same thing i tell everyone else, if you dont know how to work it, or explain it to someone else, then dont use it

if you do know how to use it, by all means do it up...
i dont liek nitrous,

but my suggestion to you, is to jus keep saving up for a turbo kit if thats what you want to do... dont waste your money somewhere else

First of all, go wet. It is MUCH safer than dry.

Second, get a Nitrous Express kit. They are the best. NOS is absolute garbarge.

I don't have a nitrous kit, but this is generally what most nitrous users will tell you.

Hey nisco,
Why don't you like nitrous? I'm just kind of curious if you have first hand experience with the stuff or don't like it based on the hype. Nitrous has been used pretty commonly over the past few years around here, so I've been in a few cars with it. It's fairly safe, if your car is prepped correctly; colder plugs, timing ever so slightly retarded, premium gas, and if using a dry kit making sure that the fuel injectors and pump can handle the extra fuel. Dry kits can actually safer than wet kits if, your fuel injectors and pump are strong. There is a possibility in a wet kit of detonation due to the fact that the nitrous and fuel combining in the intake forming a liquid which can intern cause detenation. The chances of the happening are extremely slim, especially if you retard timing, use colder plugs, and have a well made nitrous kit that has an automatic kill switch if it feels it has become unsafe.

i jus dont see nitrous as ant real form of tuning (but thats my opinion)
i see it as the cheap and easy way out

I respect where your coming from, but feel inclined to disagree. Nitrous is just as difficult to tune and use as any other boosted route. All motor, thats alot of work and fine tuning, but belongs in a different thread. There are three major ways to boost a car turbo, supercharger and nitrous, each with their own entry level systems. Is nitrous less expensive, yeah definitely. But a 50 hp boost is a 50 hp boost. The difference with nitrous is you can unplug and keep strain off your engine when not racing, you can turn down boost on turbo, but it's always there.
You still need to do the same internals for all three if you want your engine to last, fuel has to be watched or detonation can occur, tuning needs to be percise. It is cheaper if you buy a 40 shot kit and just go. But when you add in bottle heaters, gauges, a fuel and timing controller, a purge kit; which is pretty necessary for a well working system.
Any system you use can be a quick and easy way out. It all depends on what you are willing to put in and what you are expecting to get in return. Take a supercharger, as an example, most basic systems bolt on in a few hours and thats it they come with the chip and everything else needed to get going and thats it. Nothing needs to be modified not cutting or welding, pure bolt on horsepower, that is until what you have is no longer enough. It would be cool to keep this discussion going, maybe some other members will have their own opinions and experiences that would help contribute to this thread.
