Please help me pick a N2O system
Please help me pick a N2O system Hey guys,
I'm looking to add some N2O to my stroked LT1 that I've built over the past year. Its a full forged set-up, converted to 4 bolt mains etc and should make 445rwhp NA once I've fixed a could issues. Everything else is built too - Moser 9", Street twin clutch, suspension, aftermarket DS etc...
I would like to add up to a 75-150hp shot to hopefully get my m6 LT1 pig into the 10's. Could you guys recommend a N20 kit and supporting accessories to help me do this based on this criteria?:
- I'm not overly mechanical, so something low maintenance would be prefered. (I can do mid-level type work but I'm not about to tear down an engine)
- I don't really want to have seperate tunes for N2O vs NA - This may limit the size of shot or perhaps there is something that I can retard timing with that will work with my LT1 w/24x LS1 ECU? (tuned with HP Tuners)
- I'd like a fairly basic system because I'd like to try and wire it myself. I might add a purge or bottle heater but thats about it
How would the Zex system work compared to Nitrous Outlet or Nitrous Express? Is a throttle body plate system or dual nozel system worth the money at a 150hp shot level? And lastly, what would the max safe HP shot be knowing my criteria and build?
Thanks,
Andy

I would run to n2o outlet plate kit. They look great and hit hard. There good up to a 200 shot if your still on factory intake. You can buy A mallory 685 or msd digital 6 box to pull timing. Both boxes have built in timing retard, window switch, rpm limiter, and 2 step. If its a fully forged motor I see no reason you couldnt spray it with 200 shot. Just want to keep a eye on your plugs. Your gona wana run colder nonprojected tip plug. I would for sure run a purge and warmer.
With only a 255 pump and already making 440rwhp. On 150 shot you will be close to maxing out the pump. May want to look into a dedicated fuel setup. Lingenfelter make a timing controller that will work.

Would you be able to get away with not pulling any timing if you ran 93 in the tank, c23 in a dedicated fuel cell with a 150 shot/plate, running br8's in your opinion?

How much compression are you running and do you have a camshaft designed for nitrous? I would not pull the trigger on a 150hp shot without pulling timing. Especially in a stroker motor. Example: My motor likes 28 degress of timing on motor only. With 100 octane in the fuel tank and 116 in the nitrous cell, the most timing I can get away with on a 150hp shot is 22 degrees. Then the mph drops off significantly and I can see detonation marks on the NGK 9 plugs.

I would start with 100 shot and go from there but was wondering if I was out my head going that route and not pulling any timing
