nitrous?

[ZenXtra07]

Thinking about adding a 50 shot to my 96 2.3. Any thoughts, comments, suggestions, etc. so on and so forth????

Figuring a dry kit. Zex probably. Not too familiar with nitrous, but I figure I'll need an air/fuel gauge along with bottle pressure gauge. Any help is greatly appreciated


Also, I don't plan on using it very often at all. Only when I'll be racing my bro's 91 honda hatch with a z series. Just looking to beat that car.

a 50 shot should be easily do-able on a mostly stock motor.

a wideband O2 and A/F gauge is a very helpful, but not totally necessary addition. get one if you have the cash (they arent cheap).

if your going dry shot, what are your plans for fuel support?

Dude, I honestly have no idea. Nitrous is so foreign to me. My guess is I'll have to upgrade the fuel pump, will stock be adequate??? suggestions.....? Sorry to be such a newb but I figure this is the place to ask the questions.

you should try doing some searching on the web about nitrous. theres lots of basic info out there.

you have a number of ways of making up the extra fuel....from a cold start injector from an older deisel VW...to adding larger injectors to your motor (you'll probably need around 30lb/hr or so)...and everything in-between.

of coarse, a wet shot delivers the extra fuel with the nitrous...

extra injector idea...not good idea and too much work. with a 50 shot youll probably be ok. id put a wet kit on it with a fogger and call it a day. if your worried, put a bigger pump in it first. a 50shot aint shit

EFI intakes actually work a little better with a dry kit, seeing as an EFI intake was only designed to flow air, not fuel. And if you are just planning on going with a 50 shot you wont need any upgrades to your fuel system, but upping the fuel pressure will give you a little more power on the bottle.

Thanks guys....I'll do a load more research before purchasing anything.
