Some nitrous questions for a GE...

[phoenix6]

So a co worker is selling his entire set up off of his 2003 Mach1, so I said Id take it, it comes with WOT switch, 50 shot nozzle up to a 200 shot nozzle... I was wondering if a 50 shot was safe for my car and whats the highest before the car basically kills itself from that much?

Im NOT a fan of Nos but its a killer deal and Im getting a GTE sometime this summer so I figured why not have some fun with it.

a 250 wet is good

 

[phoenix6]

well the max this kit goes to is 200, and I actually forgot to ask if its wet or dry, I believe wet though.

It will highlight ANY weakspots in your motor/car
(damn good fun if you stay conservative and have plenty of fuel)

 

[phoenix6]

well I already know of 4 weak points that Im taking care of b4 I install it.... 2 bad valve seals, 1 bad injector O ring, my fan still has a broken blade (would that cause slight motor vibrations?) and one broken motor mount haha, Im getting MKIV mounts soon too,

 

[IJ.]

Clutch
Uni's
HG
Ignition
Wallet

 

[phoenix6]

Clutch... yeah I need a new one anyways hahaha

Uni's? sorry Im stuck, what is that? lol

HG is OEM with ARP studs, 85ft lbs down, I think Im ok haha, I hope im ok 7500 miles since rebuild, only smoke I ever get is oil from the fuckin valve seals.

What ignition upgrades do I need for a 50 shot at least??

2 shots and you'll know how much you need a new one

Uni's? sorry Im stuck, what is that? lol
Universal joints in the driveshaft

<fingers crossed>

Try closing the gaps down to 25 thou for starters and make sure it's all 100% ie: good leads Rotor and Cap

 

[suprarich]

Who manufactured the kit? What is the delivery system for the nitrous and fuel? A single nozzle? I take it the mach 1 is a Mustang? Are you sure it is not a plate system? Also, you will be missing a few adaptors for the fuel system. Most fords use a fitting that threads into the shrader valve hole and your supra will need a tee fitting. The manufacturer is a concern, because a 100 shot from one company is not the same as a 100 shot from another.

mustang kits are usually dry, 1 nozzle kits that raise your stock fuel pressure, actually dead heads it... not a bad kit but I wouldn't put it on your na. go for a single nozzle wet kit, those run better.

i tried that dry mustang kit on my integra, ran very nice but the wet kit performed much better.

50 would be safe I would bet, and the first thing to go will be your clutch lol. nitrous hits very hard.

Forgot to add you'll need "2 bottles 2 of the big ones Harry"

Thanks guys, when he was taking it off this is wht I noticed...

Steel braided single line from trunk where the bottle was up to intake that was tapped into with a T fitting that was shaped like a V.

Im running rich right now as it is so well see. For the price Im getting it for with a half full bottle I really just wanna do it once or twice to feel what its like, Ive never EVER driven with nitrous before. Ill ask what kit it is tomrrow and get more information.

and yeah, clutch...Ive put that poor bastard through fuckin hell before, esp when that IS300 and I had that run in... yeah... Im amazed its not gone yet.

ok now THATS funny!!!!!! i ran nitrous and still am currently. 75 dry shot through the intake pipe. upped fuel pressure via a AFPR the kit im using is off a 5.0 and i had no problems with it so far. im still good motor is solid except for valve seals on a couple valves the rest of the car is holding well and ive seen some spectacular results. especially when you purge next to a car that thinks its hot shit and then you dont even go........... stupid honduhs............

 

[phoenix6]

yeah Im lookin forward to setting up the purge lines thru the headlight washers and turning them outwards... thats my idea anyways..

If I was in the car when someone purged and then didn't race I'd probably not stop laughing for a good four minutes

yeah but i was running open exhaust(fuc*in speed bumps and previous owner)
and its stupid loud when you go WOT and we were near a section where there are a lot of cops

if it looks like a V, then that is most likely a wet kit. Are there two separate lines going into the V thing?

BTW, the V thing is called a Fogger. LOL

One nice thing about a wet kit, and that it makes the inside of your intake manifold, SPOTLESS!!! You can actually feel increase in power, if you have a dirty, oily manifold. You won't get the same cleaning action with a dry kit.

I actually want to install a wet kit on my car just to clean everything out. Install the fogger before the intercooler LOL.

I love you too Ian LOL

Ive seen some sick ass set ups with purging that just completed the package... iono what Im gonna do, I wanna experiment, I love doin that.
