Is anyone spraying on top of flycut pistons? I'm wanting to go this route and there is very little info on this subject, so whats your thoughts? Is anyone doing this?

its been done. I dont know the depths cut but they were pretty deep. Took a 175 shot just fine. This was on a Z06.

I do and havent had any problems....I dont think U will have any issues

I have a G5-x2

Louis Gigiliotti did the Flycutting and installed the NX kit...and if it wouldnt work on flycut pistons I would say that he wouldnt do this to begin with

Hope this helps

I've been looking into this as well, and there is not a lot of info on it. It has been done, but most of the shops that I've talked to say they've done it on shop cars w/o problems, but don't really recomend it.
I've also heard the opposite, that the area where the reliefs are cut is very thick, and and they will have little to no affect on the strength of the piston.
I am more worried about screwing up the combustion process (affecting flame propogation?), or possibly leaving a burr or something that could become a hotspot and lead to detonation or pre-ignition.

Guys thanks for the feedback, I'm only going to run a 100 shot. What systems are you running?

I just ordered the Dual Nozzle kit from Nitro Daves.
You and I have pretty similar set-ups, and my pistons a notched also. I only plan on running a 100shot as well. I think that will be enough for the time being.

.090" on the intake and .060" on the exhaust spraying a 200 shot. This was a customer’s car. Hit them with a little sand paper so you don't have any rough edges and you'll be good.

EDIT: I'll try to dig up some picts, I do have some around here somewhere.

Car in sig. I had MTI`s Y1 cam with flycut pistons. I sprayed a 150 shot all day long. Never had any problems. It`s all in the tuning when you spray. O` don`t forget the fuel sytem helps also!

I was on a TNT kit spraying 200 shot with flycut pistons and it handled it just fine been through 20+ bottles.

Guys thanks for the input, I really appreciate it. It puts my mind at ease, seeing what type of shot you all are running. So I guess if I go with a small shot (100), I should be fine. What else would you recommend : Swithes, Kits, Fuel Pumps, Injectors.........?

RaceTronix Fuel Pump Kit& injectors.

For the kit go with the NX or the TNT, you can't go wrong with either one.

OR you could change plans completely and go with ProCharger!!!!!!!!!

Most pistons that die from nitrous use die at the ringland anyway.

As mentioned once you flycut hit up the pistons with some fine grit sand paper to remove any sharp edges.

Reduce the timing and have a strong enuf fuel system and run a few gallons of 100 octane to be safe should cover the bases.

I'll be spraying a NX150hp wet shot soon also.

Guys thanks again for the input and responses. Anyone have any Pic's of where you mounted the bottles?
