Im looking into getting a conservative nitrous setup. My engine will be running 12.5:1 with forged pistons\rods, ARP headbolts but stock sleeves. Would it be too dangerous to run a 50 shot or something around there with the high CR and stock sleeves? Any input or advice would be great.

Thanks!

no one huh...

 

I'd say a 50 shot would be ok, but I would definately not do a dry shot.

 

What is the difference between wet and dry shot? I've never really done much research on N02...

 

dry shot = a little port on the intake pipe, squirts nitrous.

direct port (wet) = little nossles drilled into the intake manifold, aiming at each intake runner. they spray fuel and nitrous

wet plate = a plate that goes between the upper and lower portions of the manifold, with little nossles attached.

tbe danger of a dry shot is that its possible for one cyl to get more nitrous then the other. as well as not having as much control over the fuel/nitrous ratio.

 

ahhhh gotcha. Thanks man!

 

go w/a nos 50shot wet or if u want to get more power the plate kit for the gsr assuming u have a gsr

 

I have a 95 JDM GSR engine in a 92 DX hatch with the stock IM.

 

i dont know if its true but i heard its bad to run nitrous on high compresson motors but i guess with the right tuning it wouldnt be a problem i duno i would look into it more before you put it in

 

nitrous works great with high compression...just make sure your fuel delivery is on point or u will run into problems. just remember...if u ever decide to go w/an aftermarket manifold, the plate kit won't fit becuz the stock IM is a 2 piece where the plate goes inbetween. direct port would be the way to go for that

Good deal. If I decide to go thru with this, I'd get a Skunk2 IM and get a direct port NO2 system. That way I can have the IM tapped then put it in the car. About how much does it cost to have a NO2 system put in?
Thanks for all the help guys,

do it yourself...shouldn't be too hard..i wouldn't kno about the plumbing of the manifold tho...might wanna seek out sum help for that if u've never done it before

 

Nitrous thrives on high compression. It just takes more work to tune against detonation. Just make sure your fuel and ignition systems can handle it, and that you don't detonate. It's all in the tuning.

 

Higher the compression the better!! The sronger the pistons the better!! You have forged pistons and rods then i guess you did new rings too!! so your motor must be in gr8 shape.. do a good fuel system with a dirrect port WET nitrous express kit.. get an msd igniton with a timing retard, and colder plugs... you should be able to run a 100+ shot all day every day.. We did it with absolutly no damage to the motor... 25 plus bottles... hope i helped a little... you can way over 50 with your set up believe me...

 

well i was misinformed thanks for correcting me guys...

 

do u think a normal NX wet kit single nozzle would work for a high compression setup.....i have it on my car and it orks great with the right fuel....im running stock GSR comp right now....

 

your pistons and rest of the engine can handle the 50 shot but if you have 12.5:1 cmopression you will get detonation when you spray if you don't use race gas. if the knock sensor senses any detonation, it will kill power to the motor.

 

NX go boom!!!!!!!!

Only way I would run juice on a high comp motor would be 4 fogger setup. Hi compression is very unforgiving when spraying. Single fogger just won't cut it!

 

Even with a conservative shot, ie 25-50?

 

yes

 

So if I decide to go with N02, its 4 fogger or nothing?

 

now is the time to start I know a couple high CR hondas that run 50 shots. Triple check to make sure your fuel system can handle it and that it's dialed in!

 

i think that mixing nos with stock rings is a bad idea. ive tried the very same thing in the past and i fried the hell out of the rings. trust me, put the extra money into a new set of rings and it will go a long way. plus if you ever want to turn up the nos for a race, you couldnt if you still had stock rings

 

correct me if im wrong... but dont JE pistons come with new piston rings as well?
