i have a gsr with 108k and was wondering if using nos would be safe? and what brand is good.

by the fact that you're referring to N2O as "nos" (a company name who makes N2O systems) i'd have to say that no, it will not be safe or a good idea


read up on it a little and ask a more intelligent questions. and FYI tuning is key to any reliable/safe NO2 setup.

I believe nitrous oxide's chemical formula is actually N2O but that's beside the point. Nitrous systems are a fairly inexpensive way to pick up significant power gains. As you know, there can be difficulties in deliverying a metered amount of nitrous due to the effects of pressure and temperature. However, done conservatively I bet nitrous could give you power gains without significantly reducing the life of the motor.

YOU'LL BLOW THE WELDS ON YOUR INTAKE MANIFOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

No!!!!!!!!!!!

Ive seen you how you drive...youve got a heavy foot!

 

my fault for reffering it to nos.. but u know what i mean. so what kit do you guys recommend. and dry or wet kit? also how much hp would a 50shot give me and what 1/4mile time would i be looking at

i figured, but i was just giving you ****.
wet kit's in general are more reliable, when tuned properly. you WILL need fuel upgrades/tuning for any shot to be safe by any means.
also, a 50 shot will yeild you ~about and increase of 50ft/lbs of trq at the wheels.
as for the 1/4 miles time, that has waaaay too many variables to guess. i'm assuming you have a gsr teg, you could prolly hit high 13's provided you can drive and your tires/clutch are good.

I don't think tuning or fuel upgrades are necessary for a 50 shot. I'd recommend a fuel pump on a 75+ shot and with a wet kit, I would tune with jetting on a wideband on a bigger shot. Do a compression test on your motor and if it checks out, throw in 2 step colder plugs, premium fuel, and a window switch and spray a 50 shot all day. Good luck

 

You wouldn't have a problem with a 50 or 75 shot.
This is what I would do, I am guessing you are new with Nitrous.
Buy a wet kit, a Wide Band O2..AEM's is nice. Also install a walbro 255 Intank pump for a little insurance vs. an old pump.
set your timing back 2 deg. start with the 50 and when you feel good with it you could bump it up to a 75 with some asking questions etc.

Track time depends on your car...

**awaits "decided not to tune engine for nitrous and blew it up WTF?" thread**

 

fuel upgrads and tuning are two seperate things. Most nitrous kits are safe right out of the box with the suggested jets and all. They're damn near idiot proof.

thanks for your inputs. at first i was thinking of just throwing on a nitrous kit.. something cheap.. and have fun but now it seems like the numbers are starting to add up.
