Default How much N20 can a D16a6 block and d16z6 head take???

How much HP shot of NOS can this take. It would be a fogger system with ZEX Nitrious kit.

I would have copper head gasket, PITA Apexi V-AFC

THX guys

Well, my freind was using the Venom kit. He has a 95 EX D16a6 and was using the 75 shot with no problems. Then again another freind of mine with a 2000 SI was using the ZEX kit with the 75 shot and fried his pistons. To be safe 50HP shot

b16's also have a compression of 10.2:1 and a d16a6 has a compression of 9:1 that could be why his blew, im not a bgi fan of nos, but if you were to go w/ one get the zex proggesive system its prolly the safest

Compression with nitrous is pretty much irrelevant. It's not adding anything more to the combustion chamber. You fry pistons when your fuel supply can't keep up with the demand; nitrous will happily bond with the piston molecules instead of the fuel molecules if there aren't enough fuel molecules to go around. However, when running a higher shot because you're adding more fuel it's a good idea to add more spark also... keep it lit off well.

if compression will be too high then i can use double head gaskets.

maybe then just a 50 shot system

both can only take up to 75 dry w/o reinforced rods. you go higher you will need stronger internals and kick *** fuel management... which you should have allready

the rods will take a 85 shot, but pistons will melt.

180-175-20-180 are my compression numbers now.

Will a 50 shot spin the tires when you hit it at WOT in second gear?


How much is a remotoe bottle opener???


How much can a D16a6 engine take?

ZEX does not make a direct port kit.

You don't need a bottle opener.

Lack of knowledge leads to blown motors.

RESEARCH!
