Hey guys i really want to make some some more power in my car but like anyone else my age with a nice car can only afford the payment really haha, but im thinking to run nitrous, but whats a safe shot? and at what point do i need a tune and how big can i go? any input will help, thanks in advance!

 

if U have stock internals and want to abuse the NOS then I would not go beyond 75shot. If you only do it from time to time then maybe 100 or so. Build your engine and get the timing right for NOS and you can run a 180shot.

 

ya my plan was to run a 50 shot till i save to tune and retard my timing for a 75 or a 100 but thanks!

 

save your money and go s/c or turbo later... unless you wanna blow ur engine and then be forced to make payments on a broken ride... just my 2 cents...

 

ya i have heard that a lot and your very right that would ssuck! thanks man

 

Why dont you do some of the popular engine mods that most people do? The Z-tube, plenum spacer, etc?

 

Don't cheap out, run a quality 50 wet-shot system and you will most likely be good to go. You wont blow the engine (assuming it has no pre-existing problems) unless you run cold/dry nitrous. Dont over-rev, maintain operating temperature, adjust timing = success.

 

i already have a 5/8 iso thermal plenum spacer and off brand intake and mRev2 i just want more but dont have 5k to spend for fi

 

Ah i stand corrected. Than yes you are at a difficult monetary crossroad

 

yeah exactly haha but we"ll see, im might just go for it and if it blows then its stroked out twin turbo time haha

 

check the 350z thread there is a dedicated nitrous write up that is very informative and a lot more guys running nitrous..i have been looking into it as well..it will still cost about 1500 when is is all said and done...youll need colder plugs and a tune to be safe, lean shutdown switch bottle warmer..it adds up quick. theres even a thread that outlines a shopping list with posts.

happy modding

 

ya its funny that poeple think they can get into a NO2 setup for cheap. Unless you are buying used, a grand is a safe bet and then at least 40$ to fill the bottle, which you'll run thru in less than 2 minutes of use.

Best bet would be sell the car and get something faster from the start.

 

I ran a 100 shot for awhile with a perfect air fuel ratio, car was a beast. made 363 wheel 380 TQ. No tune nothing and there is no way my engine was gonna go any time soon. Engine held like a monster and I sprayed it ALOTTTTT. Dont worry about blowing your engine as long as you run a wet shot youll be fine. Mine was a lease too!!
