Hey looking to get nitrous on my 07 si sedan. about a 50 shot. any suggestions?

risks about engine damage?
Price?

 

i have a 75 shot on my si coupe... ******* sick... i got mine from a friend so i only paid $350... its the best hp for your money.. and if your running a 50 shot your not risking to blow your motor unless you do a bad install

 

thats what i was really worried about. ive been told a 50 shot is safe so i think ill go ahead and do it. what are you running at the track??

 

i mean I wont go and spray it everyday or anything

 

yeah i wouldnt either. i want to do a turbo but was told to wait til K pro come out for the 07. and the turbo is around 3500. nitrous is the best bang for my buck

i want to run a 75 shot too, but doesn't the timing have to be adjusted? or is it ok with a 75 shot?

 

I would check the laws in your state regarding the use of Nitrous on the street. It is major illegal in California. You can't smog a car in CA with NOS. I addition, if a cop pulls you over and deems the installation (hoses and values used, how and where the tank is secured) is incorrect or "unsafe", they can confiscate your car on the spot.

Just a suggestion

as long as the bottle is not connected im safe in AZ

 

By the time you use your fill of NOS until the i-Pro comes out by then you could have had a turbo that already put ~300hp down and even better later. NOS just seems like a cheap way to be fast.

Sweet. I think I need to move. I looked into adding NOS to the supercharger (50 shot), but after reading the laws (California) I decided it was not worth the risk.

 

Im going to order the NX hitman kit 50,75 shot comes with a 5 pound bottle im going to take out the spare and keep the bottle down there

 

does anyone have an idea what ill run at the track with a 50 shot?

 

Depends my car made 181 to the ground stock so say add 45-50hp 13.5-14.0 depending on tires,driving,weather

 

i already have an injen CAI and an LSD cat back. but track conditons are phoenix AZ 112 during the day

 

I put a vibrant cat back went from 181 to the wheels to 190 at the wheels cold air is 5-9 so probably be around 240 to the wheels should be mid 13s with a tire

 

my friend ran mid- low 13s on an si with i/h/e/75 shot and other little mods... launching in 2nd... and no you dont have to retard timing with a 75 shot... but i would recomend removal of the cat and colder spark plugs.... one of my friends went on 100 shot and didnt retard the timing on his 06 si and bent a couple of valves hehe...

 

The only way I could see your friend bending a couple of valves is if he had piston to valve contact.

 

he blew the motor... duh! lol

 

50 shot is moddest i dont see any reason for engine damage...i plan i getting nos once my car is paid off

maybe a SC after that

hard to believe. when i was involved with nitrous i started with a 50 shot and it didn't run correctly until i pulled a little timing off. this was in a y8 which, if i remember correctly, has 9.6:1 comp ratio. the Z3 is 11:1!

your buddy's motor was on a road to destruction way before the 100 shot. did he think he was gonna get away with a 100 shot without touching his timing? that's rookie **** dude.

Then you should have stated he blew the motor. Bending a few valves isn't blowing an engine.

 

I was thinking about the doing the same thing. Does anyone have dyno results using a 50 shot?

 

im not saying that you dont need to retard your timing to run at your optimum... isaid you dont have to retard your timing because its ok to run a 75 shot...

 

ppl running a 125 shot without retarding timing so i figure the 75 wouldn't hurt

i plan on getting the wet kit with purge valve, bottle heater, auto opener, boost guage and i don't know if i am missing anything else?
