Since I am rebuilding the engine, I've decided that I want to run some nitrous oxide, just enough to squeeze on the track and to keep it safe.

So what all needs to be prepped and looked at before I begin to squeeze.

My engine is a B18C1 GSR.

As dumb as this might sound I wanted to hook it up to something smaller than a 10 lb bottle, do they exist?

 

how much of a shot do you want to run

 

NOS bottle sizes range from 10oz, 1lbs., 2lbs., 2.5lbs., 5lbs., 10lbs., 15lbs., and 20lbs.

I don't like bringing it up and I'm sorry I had to but if you watch F&F the 10oz sneaker shots are in the "10 sec" seven.

if you want to squeeze make sure to have nitrous/turbo pistons. stock cast pistons have the habit of melting in response to burning nitrous. most importantly back the system up with fuel.

 

Is it true that the amount should be 50% of your hp rating? The GSR makes 170 HP not WHP of course.

I think a 50 shot will be more than fine with the GSR you think?

Also is there a bottle smaller than those 10lb ones? Where can you get them, cant find on net or NOS website.... yeah I was thinking someone might mention the F&F but oh well

Also what company or kind of pistons are good to run... lower compression ones??

look up also the 40-60 shot kit from NOS (part #05122) is most likely what everyone gets. NOS also has the intake plate for GSR's which make installation easy and clean.

 

here you go http://www.nosnitrous.com/HiOctn/Pro...S/imports.html

pistons are made by all the big boys for this ap. Arias, JE, SRP, E.N.D.Y.N., ROSS, etc.. you name em they got a nitrous ap. if you are interested in a kit I can get you one.

 

Im not sure what all I need to do to protect my engine.... like stainless steel valves and etc. I dont know.... a 50 shot should be safe??

 

yes if put together right and with the right motor setup it's stable.

 

What exactly is that.... sits on the manifold?

Nitrous noobie sorry

it sits between the manifold and the head and has spray bars it's similar to a direct port system with out having to drill the mani.
