i got a couple races set up for this weekend and a buddy of mine is coming down from orlando and wants to put a nitrious kit on my car w/ a 50 shot.... im a lil nervous bout the idea... is that a smart idea on a soh nonvtech 1.6 ltr si? dont wanna do anything to damage my motor... i have a few mods but nothing special... intake exhaust and shortshifter( not that shortshifter helps any)... i need as much advice as possible before friday plz cause im totally lost on this one...

 

sounds like a recepy (sp?) for a b series swap haha i wouldnt do it

 

i dont know what to do im trying to learn as much about the idea as fast as i can but still get educated information thtas y i came here

 

the 50 shot should be good as long as you have extra fuel to accomodate it... is it a wet kit? if it is then youre fine... a dry kit would require some other means of getting more fuel into the motor

what type of racing will you be doing?
u will be fine with a 50 shot on ur stock motor...just dont spray out of the hole if u are drag racing...dont miss shifts...dont over rev ur motor....dont hit ur rev limiter and u should be fine

 

ok i found out that for a dry kit to be safe id have to retard my timing, cooler spark plugs, premium or better gas, and increase my fuel, so all this= not worth it for one weekend from what i understand.... does anyone here think im right lol

 

the key to nos longevity is a good fuel system and tuning, setting the timing back and colder plugs can be good ideas if necessary. i would recommend if going with a dry setup on a sohc 1.6 starting w./a small jet (nos tech line can recommend, and they are cool there) and woking up to the prospective jet they recommend. on my '86 civic w./b16 i used a .036 jet -2 deg timing a 1 step colder plugs, bcpre7's i think. that equated to @ 125 shot i believe, tons of fun in that little car 13.6 @105

 

Hmm colder spark plugs and retarded timing. Any engine can hold a 50 shot of nos if prepared right and used CORRECTLY.

I would say no if you don't have the means of getting more fuel.

 

Can of worms...

I have advice: race at a local track.

 

NOS =

nitrous is all good , just be conservative. Be careful of your friend installing it , if he is like me he will try to sneek in a bigger jet for more power
