Have a Nitrous Question? Ask it here!

If you guys are still going old school and not using one of the inexpensive nitrous progressive controllers you are missing out for sure. You can set them up to do quite a bit these days.
I use mine on the Flex as a window switch - 3500-6200 RPM so it lifts between shifts as well as 30% to 100% progressive in 1st gear over 1.2 seconds. It's nice to just set it and forget it

Thanks.

How about a 100shot on a considerably modified engine? (Bolt-ons galore)

-Josh

A 100 shot can be safe or unsafe on any motor provided you aren't detonating. A V6 should be able to handle that shot well with the correct amount of fueling, timing retard and spark plug set installed.

So basically be smart about it.

Yes,basic rules are:
1: Colder plugs (autolite 3923 is the tried and true plug for most of us.)
2: Fuel system in proper functioning condition. 155lph and a fresh fliter is a good idea.
3: Use 93 octane fuel
4: Use you're head! (hear detonation? Get off the throttle.)

And don't be that retard heating your bottle with a torch.

One more thing, read your plugs after your runs, that will tell you what's happenning inside the motor. you'll be able to identify lean, rich or detonation easily.

What rpm range have you been staying within?

-josh

3000 rpm on 7500 rpm off

is nitrous safe for oxygen sensors?

Yes

Thanks.

You mean like my car?

Ok, after some headache I have a solid grasp on how this N20 system on my blue 92 need to be set up. It is basically a NOS kit with a comp-u-car bottle. I have the bottle heater wired up but I am hesitant on the method that the NOS dry kit installs.

Here is a video giving an overview of exactly the kit I am dealing with.

As you see the canister bleeds off 50psi of nitrous pressure (wasted N2O) into the STOCK fuel pressure regulator to up the injector flow. It seems to me that this would not be ideal as it is basically overloading an already sub par FPR versus injecting N2O before the MAF and allowing the ECU to compensate for the colder intake charge temperature and extra o2.

So should I remove this part of the kit and simply use the solenoids to inject N2O into the intake before the MAF or should I install this as the NOS instructions call for?

-Josh

Ohh, and this method requires running vac lines all over the intake which is totally defeating the point of stealth which I am trying to achieve.

Your car has a Carbon Fiber cowl hood, Sparco EVO seats, Aftermarket wheels and you want your Nitrous kit to be "Stealth".

Get over it, your car is not that much of a sleeper anymore.

Not exactly an answer to the question at hand but I'll take it into consideration...

The point is, any Nitrous installation is going to require vacuum lines to be ran. Most people won't know what to look for. If my car didn't have the Zex NMU under the hood, no one would be none to the wiser about the vacuum lines I ran under the intake runners were for Nitrous.

Install it, make sure it works, then worry about the fine details.

-Sam

Understandable about the vac lines, I wasn't worried about them as much as purging 50psi into the fuel regulator.

Is this how your zex kit is ran?

[SHOspazz92]

There is a reference line that runs from the FPR to the NMU.
