Depends on the kit you have. I would call the manufacturer and see what they rate it to. People have done 200 through a single nozzle, but I personally wouldn't.

Distribution. You'll pick up better distribution with a plate kit versus a single nozzle.

Its just my opinion as I'm sure others will disagree with it. My only advice with nitrous is to always err on the side of caution.

I definetetly agree with you there. I am going to be spraying a 150 through mine, only b/c i already had the nozzle on the car when i bought it. In the next couple of months though i will be going to a plate kit.

spraying 150 thru a single HSW nozzle kit. Seems strong, picked up 8 tenths and 9 mph from mid 11's to almost mid 10's now.

i'll be dynoing it to see how close it is.


What about dual nozzles, you can get better distribution with a 200 shot with dual nozzles correct? each spraying 100 i pressume?

I had over a 200 with a single nozzle. I think the -3 lines to the nozzle become a restriction at that point. I personally would do a twin nozzle set up. Not much more money and will handle alot more power.

You are correct that the -3 lines start to become a restiction above 150 HP....if you upgrade to a -4 line w/a -3 nut on one end you can outflow the nozzle.

As far as what is the max you can spray on a single nozzle, that will be determined by the nozzle.

NOS nozzles 150HP
NX Piranha, Nitrous Outelt 1/16, and Brand X 1/16 200HP
NX Shark & Nitrous Outlet 1/8 250HP
NX SHO 400HP

Now would I run a 400HP shot through a single nozzle.....not unless the rules of the class I was running made me

when you say -3 an line is a restriction above a 150 shot, is that a 150 shot rated at wheels. Most kits are whp rated correct? Because my 150 shot is so technically thats a 175 shot and i was concerned i wasnt getting the most out of the shot size and wondered why

175 will likely be OK unless you have a very long line or tight bends in it.

I suggest replacing the nitrous solenoid to nozzle line anytime you go above the 150 shot jetting. (Approx a .062 jet) Just in case

thats what i'm using, .062 jet. That suppose to be 150whp/ 175hp on motor. Main Line is from the trunk to the front, straight but long. Its a 4 an line. From the solenoid its a 3an line to the nozzle but its only a foot long piece of line and its straight to the nozzle.

I'd have to find out if i can get a 4an line to the nozzle with a 3an nut on the end
