Default Nitrous Question...

I got a cheater nitrous kit(30 shot) off of ebay($50)...it consists of a line, hand trigger, and lil oz. bottles...well me and my buddy hooked it up...It said mount after air flow meters so i just mounted it after all the plug ins and so forth...i did it on the bottom of the intake tube approximately 8 inches from the throttle body...well went out for a drive to see whats up...it would shoot threw the line but no extra power added...any ideas?

this isn't the F&F. Your not gonna shoot back in your seat . you probably will not even feel a 30 shot. it's probably working fine.

Check and make sure you actually got nitrous in the bottles... sometimes, they'll give you CO2 bottles and jip ya.

have you ever seen an ebay CAI intake and they will claim that you will see a +15HP gain. well if you find somebody that has dynoed their car and yeilded 15 whp with an ebay intake, i will give you mad props and most likely buy one for myself. so by buying this ebay nitrous setup that claims to yeild +30 hp, you might not really be getting 30whp. so figure you get about 2whp out of a claimed "+15 hp intake", so if you put in on the same scale you might be gaining about 4whp from the claimed "30hp nitrous setup". and a 55 shot on a regular system is noticable, but isnt like HOLY **** THAT PULLS. good luck with your new setup but you might be wiser to buck up and invest into a better setup if you are looking for more noticable gains

i doubt you will feel a 30 shot. i'm using a 55 shot of zex on my gsr motor and i don't really feel it. it could be because i have my timing set back to 8 degrees when i spray though. i don't feel it, but i can see it. when you spray, look at your mph. mine moves up a lot quicker than all motor. i also beat my friend who would kill me on top end. with the spray , he couldn't catch me and i put about 2 car lengths on him.

if you feel that way, then any power adder would be a waste of money, time and life. this stuff does cost a lot, but you have the choice to buy the things or not. you have the choice to fix up your car or not. eventually, you could end up selling the car and not losing that much money if the parts you have in it are good.

I had a NX wet kit on my D16 with a 30 shot. On that motor it makes the car feel a little quicker than say a basically stock 99si. There is a noticable increase and your tak will definatly climb quicker, but like stated befor its not going to make you **** your pants, but it will put a nice grin on your face.

But, no one buys a car for whatever you ask. No matter what modifications you have. Regardless of your upgrades, the car is worth what a stock car is worth. It's up to the person to buy another person's nightmare and abused vehicle.

eh what did you expect...it came off of ebay and only cost like 25 bux

that is like buying a rear camber kit for 25 bux for a 92-95 civic....it consists of a little baggie of washer and four bolts (it cost them like 3 bux to piece it together)

it is just not worth the time and money
