NOS makes a nice wet kit now that comes with special injectors...the injectors have nitrous inputs on them, so the mixture goes directly to the injectors...this is the best and safest way to do it, but it cost huge $$$

it will produce huge power, but you need the internals to back it up..bacically what you would do to prep for a turbo set up...There are lots of different variations of a "wet" kit...Zex injects straight into the fuel rail...very good idea, no puddling... nos has the noszles, and the direct manifold setup...

ya after you put thos enice rollerwave pisotns in adn eagle rods you motor will go by by because the sleeves will crack to ****......adn this tread is kinda a joke this board is horrible for keybord mechanics/racers.....get the block "posted...send it to edyne....and ghettodyne will not really suit your needs good..jsut get a jacobs nitious mastermind and afc and your crank will be ok for anytign you will throw at it....on a real tight budget look into this combo...srp pistons with shot peened ls rods machined to fit with a posted block...that woudl be a pretty strong setup coudl hold 75-100 shot fine, with good tuning and no over exposure

At least the members here know how to use a keyboard, you can barely speak English and yet you think people will actually follow your advice??... Please keep your pitiful attempts to belittle people to yourself we are here to share what knowledge we have, not here to call peoples discussions a joke... Speaking for myself here, maybe others don’t agree, but most of your post start like that…



OK im done my whining for the day :cry: lol, back to the discussion

zc_hatch, with all the upgrades you have listed you should be able to take a good shot,
(stay in the 100 shot area, since you are on a budget and cant afford repairs from pushing it to hard..even tho it will take more dont push the envelope) a 100 shot will definitely put a huge grin on your face . Consider installing a block guard(100$ insurance)...IMO forget The Pro Race Fogger system, as it is designed for use with competition race engines only. Find something a little tamer with all the specified jets with HP ratings...

And remember to use a colder non projected type spark plug, and about 2-3 degrees of retarded timing otherwise you will have pre ignition problems most likely leading to detonation. Dont starve fuel!!!!!! OEM pump garbage with nitrous!!!!!!!!!!!! never spray below 2,500rpm, always wideopen throttle, never more than a 15 second spray, never spray into a rev/speed limiter, your engine cuts fuel and you will lean out...use this advice and your engine should not blow up on a 100shot if everythings installed correctly(no warrenty implied , anything can go wrong under spray)

good luck

ya I type fast and dont' check so.....anyway you dotn' know much man sorry to tell you but you dont'....if your gonna be runnign a huge shot ie 100 you will need a standalone at best or a afc an msd digital 6 or a jacobs nitrious mastermind....somethign to bring the N2o on slowly not jsut a 100 hp shock to the system which will cause breakages...and posting the block is fair suppieor to a shitty block guard but you are not knowledgable to this process obviously..you coudl get the new direct port by NOs which fits in with your injectors and sprays N2o aswell as fuel....it's a cheaper solution to a full race direct port system and it will suit you nicely...go get it run on a wide band and tune it to make sure there is no detonation and your A/F is safe.....srp's an shot peened ls rods and a posted block woudl be a nice strong budget setup....

man this thread is old.... i think i would take the word of a guy who not only knows how to spell but also has a zex pic and nickname after a nitrous company.... disgus8 you always just make posts trying to make people look stupid but look at yourself you can't even spell.... and your excuse that you type fast and dont check your spelling... why not take that extra time you save being such a fast typer and use it for checking to see if you spelt your words properly

he said he on a "budget", ...that jacobs nitrous mastermind is just an idiot proof setup for somone that doesnt want to monitor his guages, it could be justified for a huge 2-300 shot setup...you forgot previously to mention that he will also need a full digital ignition setup to go along with it..so now we are touching on another 800$+ for something that isnt nececary...yes a block gaurd is a bandaid solution but it will do just fine...it is far less work and much cheaper for an amature engine builder...

a 75 shot can run safely on a stock 4cyl engine with fuel system upgrades, a 100 shot is hardly a shock, ...I think you are confused with a 2-300 shot race setup..now that would be a shock.... but a standalone at best or a afc an msd digital 6 or a jacobs nitrious mastermind for a 100 shot...common lets get realistic here.... you gonna have this guy 5,000 dollers into the hole for a 100 shot of nitrous? you sound like a performance improvement salesman...

ya if you wanna play with the big boys you gotta pay....who said goign fast is cheap... ..and a 100 shot is a shock to the system...think abotu 100 hp and about 120 lbs of torque instantly hittign the drivetrain....and yes he will need a igniton system along with an afc at the least...this isnt' jsut a stupid shitty 55 flywheel hp zex kit here...with the engien built allown he is gonna be payign out 2000 and up dollars easy...I already mentioned the srp ls rod if he is on a budget....and msot systems unliek zex measure there hp at the wheels so it is 100 whp....zex is a low end starter system that is all integrated for ease of installation....not a high end system like nx and NOS offer

yah so ...zex says 55 at the flyweel, nos says 50 at the wheels same ****, same jet...and zex has 75 shot jets which is quite plentiful for an average spirited driver, not everyone has the money to build a 10 second nitrous car...not everyone takes their cars to the track for money... I hardly consider a 100 shot a "big boy" setup, is this what you have setup on your car? what nitrous system are you running to verify all this first hand information...?

This is getting old...Zc_hatch has enough information to get started, if he wants to consider any advice given here
