sneeky pete NOS

a guy is selling me a sneeky pete NOS, im planing to install it in a vtec3 civic..is it worth it? cause it only got 8 to 10 shot ryt? is it worth it? tnx!

huh sneeky pete? vtec3 ?


me = :confused: :confused:

you know..its the NOS with the small bottle...

i mean the 2001 civic..

Its only a 8 or 10 shot of nitrouse? if thats the case dont waste ur money.

i hope im not being an idiot but what is a vtec3?

he didnt mean to put the "3" at the end of it, so stop asking about it. :) but i thought that sneaky pete had a bigger shot than that?? to me that just sounds like a waste, if it really is that small. I know they arent much, but i was thinkin more like 20-30. Look it up on a search engine

If you don't want to buy the sneeky pete kit let me know because I need one for a N2O powered ZX6R sport bike prodject I am working on.

i'm not too sure what sneeky pete system is... but is it that nitrous kit where they give tiny single application "bottles"? they are like the size of an oversized novelty pen? that's all i'm thinking of

a mechanic told me he can make it as high as 50 shot or more if want to..he said hel just make the jet bigger if you want more hp, is it true or is he jst bulshitn me?:)

No, that's true. But I don't know how small the bottle of that system is, so it might go real quick if you run a shot bigger than the system is intended for.

ahh..tnx self. if i want more hp like..75 shot or more do i need new pistons and rod even if i jst got the car for maybe 3 months? if i do what parts do i also need to upgrade?

and are there kinds of pistons nd rods out there that are stronger than stock? and if there is what is it called..

I'm not really really familiar with the capabilities of stock Honda 4 cylinder rods/pistons/crank. I know some people have run a 75 shot on stock internals successfully, but I think the general conscensus is that if you want to run a 75 shot, you're better off going with new internals. There are a type of stronger internals, they are called forged. You'd probably want to definitely go with forged rods, and pistons too since you'll already be in the motor.

Your mechanic isn't lieing (sp) to you. I found other people on the net that bought the kits and were shooting around 50hp. It comes with a 10oz bottle. So you would probably want to buy a bigger bottle if you used a larger jet.

thanks a lot!

That system was designed so it could be easly hidden... Sooo, you could use it cheat against other cars. Thats where the name came from, and was one of the reasons why N2O got such a bad rap. Amoung the racing crowd in the early days, and still goes on today to some extent....

i thought the sneeky pete setup was for carburated engines? someone told me it dosent even have a fuel delivery and your supposed to jet the carbs rich?? im not sure though

You would have to set-up a "wet" system, in order to run it with a carb. Where the extra fuel would be mixed in with the N20, while it was being squeezed. Otherwise, you would have a very rich running motor "all" the time. Which would cause you to lose hp, when you were not squeez'in... hehehe

"Noth'in like Induction..." ;)

the whole reason behind the sneaky pete is for u to use it when ur losing... so it wont be obvious to your opponent dat u raced.... because its not suppose to give out too much hp...it should give u about 25-35...it dont give u 8-10...it gives u 25-35...dat should be more den plenty...if the other car is stronger den urs..bak off!!!

mienboiracer209, let me help you with your spelling words a little bit...

dat = t h a t
den = t h e n
urs = y o u r s
bak = b a c k

i'll be testing you on this later so study hard...

Plese do not revive old oyt of date posts is is not liked here.:rolleyes:

Anyway welcome to the boards :bigthumb:
