my nitrous install

[D1sclaimer]

Did some work today . Only took me a half a year to stop procrastinating and do it. My bottle is empty so I haven't had a chance to run yet. For the time being, I'll just run a 50 shot dry.

How do you guys think I did?

Heres my activation switch

No offense but.....nitrous is cheating!

I think all forced induction is cheating, but thats just me. N20 isn't FI as well, just an optimizer.

Let us no how it runs. Oh and I don't care how it's done but crossing the line first is still winning.

There seems to be a lot of wires running all over the place.

I guess I'm a little "old school" so I'm not into nitrous. NITRO, on the other hand, is a kick! (I do like the blue paint on the bottle!)

Be careful, use it sparingly, motors ain't cheap.

Yeah there are. Im gonna wrap them in some conduit so they don't stand out. And by the airbox where the relay and fuse are, Im gonna see if I can get a plate or something to cover it all up.

I think the activiation switch is located in an odd place. It's pretty hard to reach while you are speeding down the track.

How much horsepower do you get with it?

Sorry, I should have put arming switch. The microswitch to activate the nitrous is on the throttle body to only turn on when wide open throttle.

Right now Im just running a 50 shot so 50whp gain.

clean up that wiring!

cheating at what? Fun? Spending more money?

Hey Dude so at what point do you screw up the motor? I have been told NOS is No Good. I want to put it in my S but I don't want problems ,let me know how it goes.

I've talked to about 3 other guys on s2ki that also use nitrous. None have blown their motors. Zex and NOS both have the same safety features. They have a fuel pressure safety switch which will turn the nitrous off if the fuel pressure drops alot. Since dry systems don't put fuel into the intake, it all comes from the fuel pump. They come with connections so that when you activate the nitrous, it pushes fuel through the fuel system and utilizes the fuel return line so you don't run lean. This fixes the 2 main things that'll cause a dry kit to go too lean so its safe. Wet systems do hit harder, but they're the ones that blow engines. Backfiring into the inake manifold and pooling into the intake from a bad fuel solenoid. I'd rather have a safe system than one that hits harder, but is less safe.

All in all, kits now days are very safe. Its when you put too big of a shot on without upgrading stuff, you blow your engine. Stock s2ks with no mods/no timing retard except 1 step colder spark plugs can run up to a 75-80 shot safe with no problems. In all instances, you'll want to upgrade to a 255lph fuel pump, but the stock s2k pump is adequate to about a 75 shot.

People who tell you nitrous "will blow your engine up" saw the fast n the furious and think they know it all from that movie. If they call it NAWZ, they obviously don't know anything cause thats not even how its pronounced. I have had people telling me that stuff all of the time and when I ask them whats the difference between wet and dry, they don't know the difference. That shows how much of an expert they are on nitrous.

I don't know that they are "safer" as both wet and dry kits have their ways of blowing a motor. I've heard it both ways... wet is safer than dry... dry is safer than wet. I went with a ZEX wet kit because i didnt want to worry about increasing my fuel flow through the stock pump and injectors.

I'm running the 55 shot now... i want to put in the 75 but im hesitant on doing so. has anyone ran the 65 or 75 on a stock motor?

75 wet is no problem. Just don't spray every chance you get cause that will wear your motor down. Heres a guy on s2ki that does a 75 dry shot. He has no internal work or upgraded fuel pump. Him and I have the same kit. He said he only runs his about once every week or two. Hes had his kit on for about 9 months now.

I've sprayed the 60 in mine so far and have had no problems. Just make sure you get colder plugs and shorten your gap. Platinum plugs are no good for nitrous. I'd do coppers and replace them every couple bottles of use. You'd have to check them anyways even if they were iridium so why not just throw some new ones in.

There has only been one guy who I've seen blown his s2k motor with nitrous. Italian Buckwheat on s2ki. He got all the way to a 125shot dry system without increasing fuel pressure. It blew after 3 sprays. 1st mistake, too high a shot without retarding timing. 2nd mistake, he did not increase fuel pressure. 3rd mistake, no fuel pressure safety switch. Im sure it would have lasted him if he upgraded his fuel pump and retarded timing. Maybe some larger injectors as well, but at 125, its still not necessary

About the wet part being safer. Hondas B series intake plenums are prone to pooling. I don't know about the F series, but I've seen a couple of backfires in B series motors from it. It all depends on the design of the plenum.

My advice. Take it to a dyno and get your afr from it. This way, you know how to further tune your jetting for a safe higher shot.
