Nitrous on H/C car? How safe is it to run a 100 dry shot? What extra safety features would I need given what's in my sig? Do I need forged parts? If so, what? Also, how often do you have to check plugs in this situation?

Re: Nitrous on H/C car? From what I have heard a 100 wet shot should be ok in most cases. May want to consider picking up another PCM and have it flashed for your mods and the juice, then just swap them out when you know your gonna spray a lot.

Re: Nitrous on H/C car? get the twin walbro nick, and forget the dry shot, step up to the TNT F1 kit, the 150 wet... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
That should get you like 150-175 more at the wheels... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: Nitrous on H/C car? I have the NX wet system. The NX is going to be to hard to hide. I'm going to switch to the TNT upgrade wet kit. The TNT will be good for up to a 250 wet shot. I'd say gor for the TNT wet system and you'll be able to throw a 150 shot at it on a stock bottom end.
You can live with a Walbro 255lph in tank pump with heads and cam and N20. Or you can go with the dual in tank pump set up by ARE and probably never have to look back at upgrading your fuel system for a while. The ARE set up is a $500. tag.
If you feel you have to be stealth then go talk to TNT (903)839-5498. I'm sure they can set you up with something that can be hidden.

Colder plugs
Twin walbro

Re: Nitrous on H/C car? Jason,
I know where your coming from. But I need to ask your opinion on something.
Why would you need larger injectors for the use of dry N20? NOS the manufacturer recommends no upgrades to larger injectors when not exceeding their suggested 125 shot. I know that you would be safer with the larger injectors, but why would you need them if there not recommended by NOS?

Re: Nitrous on H/C car? Postal:
I wouldn't run more than a 125 shot on the stock injectors. Ford Motorsport 30lb injectors are fairly cheap and would go a long way. A fuel pump never hurts as well. When doing nitrous, it is always better go overkill with your fuel system. I have seem too many local guys not pay enough attention to this and it ends up costing them a motor.
You probably can run more than this with the stock injectors, but it would be pushing it.

Re: Nitrous on H/C car? To my understanding, and I am a novice, you can run the stock injectors on a wet shot. The wet shot gets fuel from the fuel rails and it doesn't affect the need for larger injectors. I at 1 point had the ARE heads and cam 255lph in tank pump and ran the stock 26 pound injectors. I eventually hurt the motor. But that was because I didn't run octane boost or better gas. Ran 91 octane and a 150 shot on the freeway. Needless to say I hurt a head gasket. I was asking this a little while ago on the board. It seems that you do need larger injectors when running a dry shot which is going to exceed the recommended dosage by the manufacturer. Add bigger injectors for either the heads and cam or larger displacement motor as well.

Re: Nitrous on H/C car? Well I am running a cam, with stock heads...if I sprayed I would get a walbro out back and that should take care of it.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: Nitrous on H/C car? BIGBOS: As long as you have enough injector for your n/a setup, then the 26lb will be fine. Just make sure to get an intank pump.
Postal: Yes, you probably detonated your motor pretty bad on 150shot and 91octane. I would always run race gas (104octane) when spraying. Too little octane + large shot = boom. Again, better to be safe than sorry.
