;)

okay, last night my friend sent me some info on Nos, and he is thinking about installing Nos in his CRX, now, does anyone have much info on Nos on our forums to be discussed? if anyone have attempted or ran Nos on their Magna's before, it would be great if you could share your experience with us.

Cheers.

We have fitted nos systems to the magnas and if you do a wet single shot at max 50 hp kit you are fine. any more than this and you have problems because the intake manifold is so long it does not distribute evenly through the manifold.

Not a good idea dude.... :( Not only is NOS incorrectly hyped up as being ultimate instant horsepower and prestige by that F**KING movie, but it can really give your car and other road users a ram up the asshole. Don't go there, you're asking for trouble - go the good way, strengthen everything, THEN when you have your car on the track ONLY, chuck some in. My 2 cents.

but you don't use Nos 24/7, just for the times when you really need it, like when you're lined up against some GTS-T dude.

? ?

how much would that 50Hp pakeage cost?

Do it! I've been in a Hyundia Excel with NOS and was it fast! You only run the NOS for about 10- 15 second intervals max anyway.

when you use Nos, can the other guy see it or hear it? like will cops know you just used Nos?

hahahha.. im sure the cops will figure it out when suddenly you accellerate from 100 to 200 in 10 seconds!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

haha... hmm that's a bit too fast for my car i think, i've got rear tyres only V rating, front W rating. so max speed for me is 240 (i think that is V)

I wouldn't mind a 12sec 1/4 mile time though.

what and how much is involved in installed Nos? anyone know the details? is it a lot of work or a lot of money? i know it is cheaper than turbo or S.C

it's like $1500 installed, $100 for a refill of nos in the bottle.

its a matter of plumbing the nos into the air intake ( i think ) and another fuel line aswell so you dont lean out when the nos is on.

can be switch activated (button) or u can put the switch so when u full accelerate (flat) the nos kicks in or a combination of the two.

don't go thinking that with a 50HP nos shot you wil run a 12 sec 1/4!!

that is all hype - nos in that size shot would be a noticable boot - but nothing to write home about.

Manual

would it feel like boost coming on when you activate NO2?

in the end, it will only rev your engine faster, correct? so more or less something else will brake due to all the added torque. :cry:

yep.

A 50hp shot of nos would give around 50hp of power to the front wheels and around 50ft/pd torque as well so its a decent kick but again it won't get it down to 12 secs no lots of things needed to do that.

WOuld drop a normal magna down to aruond a 14.2 probably and around $1500 fitted on average.

yeah, that's not too bad, 14.2 vs 16+

i dunno, i've never did a 1/4 mile, i'm guesss my would be 16+, since it's auto 3.0L with only K&N panel and a straight through exhaust. that's about all that is in performance.

....and i bet installing nos does wonders for ur engine life, not to mention all ur other parts... [-X damn movies.

it's a interesting read. not very technical but nevertheless interesting

do a search threw the forum.

This was discussed ages ago. there was some useful info with NOS and magna engines and how much they can handle...with dry Vs wet NOS systems!

haha... hmm that's a bit too fast for my car i think, i've got rear tyres only V rating, front W rating. so max speed for me is 240 (i think that is V)

I wouldn't mind a 12sec 1/4 mile time though.

I'm 90% sure those speed ratings are for a sustained time at those speeds, like 60mins at 200km/hr not just getting to that speed.

On a slight tangent to this topic though. Is it possible to use a Haltech (or whatever) that when throwing a switch will kick the NOS in in the low RPM only (before the turbo kicks in). That is, I don't want it to do it everytime I take off, but have the option to turn it on and off? I realise that you could hook the 'Nitrous' switch up to an output, but then what?

Oh, and is that $1500 installed? Or is it a do-it-yourself? If it is installed, how much to do it yourself?

Tripharn

true...it would b mad if you could hook it up for a small squirt to overcome excessive turbo LAG.

Save d spray for the way back...

The NOS through a haltech can be set up to active in a specific rpm range etc but ultimatly if you need NOS to do that then y ou have the wrong turbo anyway.

NOS is a good option especially with turbochargers in small doses to cool down intercoolers, as we are doing with uor magna with a little 50hp shot.

But like anything, it does reduce life - the more power the less life the engine has.

Are you able to turn that on and off? I mean, it is illegal to drive around with it on the streets, so I want to be able to turn it off with the minimal fuss.

Also, in regards to cooling the IC... are you adding the nitrous before the IC? Also, is it difficult to adjust the fuel with nitrous in a forced inducted car? Especially under boost....

The NOS switch in teh Haltech is simply when it is activated. You would still have a master switch for the nitrous in the vehicle to arm it or turn it off. WHen it is turned off the haltech woudl not get a 12v feed and not activate the nitrous.

We are adding the nitrous before the intercooler and will be doing a specific tune for the nitrous on the car as we plan on only running it at the drags and at a low nos value of say 25-50 shot max. We aer using it for the intercooling effect only.
