i was talking to a guy tonight at work who does up hot rods and stuff. anyway we got on to talking about installing NOS in my car after we ruled out turbo and supercharger, something under a 100 shot. maybe like a 50 shot of nos or something. Just wondering what you guys think? should i do this or not? prob cost around the 1k mark.

some ppl on here know alot about the subect.... ur more likely to recieve a PM from them than discuss it on here though

if somebody does what to pm me than please do. i really want to know about this. i will seriously do it.

im planning for nos in the next fortnight or so. what im curious about is... say you get a 50hp shot of nos.. how hard is it to upgrade to 75hp shot?

i think it is just a "pill" in the lines apparently. i dont really know much about it. but tahst what this dude said tonight. he also said that he wouldnt go more than a 100 on the magna. id prob stick to a 50 if anything.... getting an extra 50 out of your engine will be **** loads.

well generally 50hp = little less than 50hp at the wheels increase. yeah more than 100hp would blow something up for sure.

i think *a dood* is running a zex system isnt he? PM me for his name.

*Bain edit* edited name out as this user may not want people knowing.

for a 3.5ltr engine i wouldn't run more than a 100hp shot and i'm pretty sure its just different size nozzles that determines the shot

Depends on ur kit.. Most kits come 50-200 shot..
All that means is that u got to change the the little washer in the nozzle jet.. (2min job)

Thats on a wet system if that what ur talking about.. 50 is safe and 75 is starting to push ur luck.. anything above 75 shot ur stupid with stock engine and you will kill it in mins.. :D

How many 'shots' do you get out of a cylinder?

And whats the cost to refill it?

nos doesnt exactly work as "shots". u pretty much have either a button to inject nos, or wire up a tps that activates the nos say at 3/4 throttle. but u wouldnt be recommending running nos for more than 15-20 secs at a time.

bottles cost around 60-100 to refill i think for automotive nos. its 93 or so % pure. or if you could get your hands on medical grade... which is 95% pure. thatll cost you around 20 bucks.

edit: bain *a dood* has posted pictures up in the audio section of his boot and you can clearly see the nos system. dont think its a secret.

I havent seen said person anounce anything yet mate. Im just following some concerns that ive been pm'd about.

from a nos faq:

Q: How long will the bottle last?
A: This largely depends on the type of nitrous kit and jetting used. For example, a 125 HP Power Shot kit with a standard 10 lb. capacity bottle will usually offer up to 7 to 10 full quarter-mile passes. For power levels of 250 HP, 3 to 5 full quarter-mile passes may be expected. If nitrous is only used in 2nd and 3rd gears, the number of runs will be more.

For the record - I havent had any expirience with NOS systems

I heard someone talking about that nos on magnas is a bad idea (depending on where you injuct it) The normal spot of a system is before the throttle body?? By doing this there is no guranteed way that you will get even NOS mixture flow spread accross all 6 cylynders due to the design of the intake manifold.

that would be rpw who said that

doesn't dave (from rpw), run nos on his twin turbo magna ? anywho, he will probably to answer these questiions plus sell you a kit .

but yeah, dont get caught with it ... iv heard (rumours) that the max fine for running nitrous on the street is $10 000 ~

later :cool:

Last time i checked, He was going to run a small shot through, but then decided against it. It puts out enough power as is :badgrin:

Ive heard you can have nos in your car. The only thing is it cant be connected.

From memory Dave took the NoS from his car due to the fact that it wasnt working correctly. Apparently it is very complex to setup on our cars, if your gonna set it up to work properly. I have spoken to a couple of ppl other than RPW who have said that I would be wasting my time doing it on a magna unless i wanted to pay big $$ to set it up efficently.

i had a 75hp shot wet system in my magna, and was told i could go up to a 100 shot without internal mods, but i sold it to a mate who put it into a skyline and blew the head gasket and warped the head! so it depends on the car as how long it b4 it destroys your motor, mine died at 30,000km! (tr with a 2.6)

Does the un-named *dood* have any 1/4 times without/with NOS for comparison?

-Dan

14.81. duno if that was with or without nos..

to have completely even distribution thorugh all the cylinders yeah you need a nozzle for each inlet. id be interested to know if itd be any different for cars with the inlet manifold. as it totally redesigns air distribution through to each cylinder.

14.81 from memory
with clogged injectors and blad tyres....

without the nos i think he did 15.3 that night...

i laso heard he has bigger injectors and new suspension, new tyres and an anti lift kit.... haltec will be on too he just told me...

as for changing the shot, just change where it injects the nos, u get all different nozzles with the kits, 50hp shot gave a 65hp gain at the wheels at the time, it is a little higher now...

also 100hp will run on the stock engine however u dont want to.. and wen u change yur nozzles it has to be retuned. bottle lasts 200seconds for a 10lb.

any other question feel free to PM
