Nitrous Oxide on 8g?

[DNSerrano]

I just get tired of people coming in and wanting to run things like nitrous with no prior knowladge of whats actually going on in the motor. Google Nitrous Oxide and get some real background on the stuff before you just ask what parts you need and buy them. Installing parts is easy, but to own and maintain a car with such a system installed takes some understanding of how things work.

That is true. The only thing I do not like about nitrous is the constant refilling of the bottle ha ha. Once you're done, you refill it and refill it so you are basically throwing money away in some way. Going FI is a much better way to get more performance out of an engine but again, some people do not have the know how of how to maintain it as well as the money. But for a quick power boost, I guess nitrous does make some sense

Nitrous is sooo much cheaper. Even this boost junky will admit that.

I could go to Checker and get my nitrous bottle filled whenever!

thanks for the help you guys. I did do ALOT of research about nitrous before i posted, plus i go to street races alot with freinds of mine and ask alot of questions to other people who run nitrous. Ive also done alot of research on how an engine works u have to let it breath is key along with knowing how to tune it and make the right parts work togather. Im just new to nitrious ive built NA K20s and B18s but mitsu is new to me and nitrous you can never learn to much about, any imput on the subject is great plus its finaly good to see a thread about nitrous on here. So in all you guys are saying deff get a window switch, tune it right, make sure it works without being to lean, fuel pump, AFPR, like 2 or 3 diffrent guages, NICE!!! like i said with the mods i said before plus this nitrous set-up i got in mind i should be nice and run about 75shot no prob. and 100shot+ maybe? if everything goes right. im just wondering in all with mods how much whp will i make? along with it being my dialy driver with 76,700 miles on it? Thank you again you guys, you've been lots of help!!!!

Don't street race - take it to the track.

Find somebody who really knows nitrous to be "on call" while you're doing this stuff. That way you have somebody to fall back on if you run into any roadblocks.

You'll be making close to 200 WHP hopefully.

...

That thing below is my daily driver, BTW. 450 WHP :twisted:

[716GalantES]

ok what could i do to make 300whp with nitrous if im only ganna make about 200whp with set-up i got planned right now? like forged pistons,connecting rods, cranksaft,cams, a timeing retard that shorta thing prob right? and say for so if i do that how much nitrous could i push and how much whp would i make then? Thank you for the feedback keep it comin!!!

[WarmAndSCSI]

300 WHP would be more than doubling your stock engine output. I can't really make a recommendation there as I don't think it's feasible. Keep your goals realistic :D

[underated]

you wont make 200whp with a 100 shot... i really didnt want to read through this whole post but i did anyway only because the more knowledgeable senior member posted in it.

with that being said...

I used nitrous for the first 3 years of owning my galant... i used a nitrous express direct port wet kit. With what i know now i would not buy a "wet" kit if i was to use it again. Buy a dry kit and upgrade your fuel system. Also N/X or Dynotune's kits are the only way to go... Since you know some people who use nitrous find someone with a Zex kit and open the little box and laugh at how small the solenoid is.

I started out with a 35shot on a stock engine (dont waste your time), then i went to a 55 shot(a little better but not much, keep in mind you loose about 30-40% of your HP between the crank and the ground with the auto tranny... i then moved on to a 75 shot (started to make a difference) i stayed with a 75 shot for a good year and a half with no problems on a stock motor. But the little bit of of HP increase was addictive and i decided to step up to a 100 shot...

i did all this on a stock internal motor for 3 years with no problems other then a few nitrous back fires :shock: (those are scary) I was really into street racing because it was for money back then so for most of those 3 years i was using it 2-3nights a week 2-3weeks a month :twisted: every month. but i don't recommend you do that and like WarmAndSCSI said "take it to the track".

But to help you out ....

check out dynotune.org for some great deals on kits, accessories, guages, and brilliant custom parts for nitrous kits, you can piece together a kit there or buy a complete one... i would recommend you buy a N/X kit and use all dynotune accessories. they have a bottle bracket with a built in bottle heater, remote bottle opener (i had mine behind the passenger seat :twisted:), but more of all get a window switch and a progressive controller for the most usable power safely

theres more but its 2:30 am here now and i dont wanna give out any bad info cuz im tired lol

oh yah with the 100shot direct port i made 179whp 230tq if i remember correctly i have the dyno sheet somewhere whit all the money your going to spend doing this wisely you could turbo your car and have more power constantly but im not trying to discourage you if nitrous is what you want go for it

There was a really good tutorial on one of the Galant forums about running a NOS in the Galant. I dont remember which site it was on. But i will continue to check. The tutorial was kinda like an episode of Mythbusters. It put to rest alot of the urban legends about a NOS in cars.


*BTW NOS >>>>>> Nitrous Oxide System

Almost everybody hates the acronym "NOS" because of Dom in The Fast and Furious.

:smt045 :smt045 :smt023 thank you ha ha ha. BTW 179hp is not that bad at all coming from a bottle!

can i smell pistons roasting?

GTFO. He'll be fine if he follows all the good advice in this thread.

WarmAndSCSI, don't you have a supercharger on your Galant?

http://www.dynotunenitrous.com/store...?idproduct=210

And is that considered a TRUE wideband sensor? Like you were talking about?

Yes, I'm running RIPP's SDS system, but ONLY the hairdryer/shaft portion of the kit, none of their BlackBox and supplemental fuel injector BS.

That's a wideband sensor... it's probably overkill for what any of you need. Even I just run an AEM gauge-type UEGO at 22 psi boost. I log it all on the E-Manage Ultimate.

[Distort]

Are there tutorials for E-Manage that would be completely n00b friendly? I was considering getting something similar for my Eclipse, but it all looks so complicated and I wouldnt understand what half that stuff is...

[duh2150]

i swear nothing is noob friendly(other then screwing a nut on a bolt lol), thats why i post so much :)

all that is, is a innovative lc-1 wideband kit($199)with there fancy guage, its peak and hold, does boost/vac and has 8 different face and 2 bezzels not worth it in my opinion

i just picked up the lc-1 kit and a tratrix cable for 260 and im going to get the gauge straight from innovative its 10 bucks more but i dont like the fact that the dynotune guage has dynotune writen on it the innovative guage looks cleaner to me

alright yall thanks for all the advice now my 8g is almost ready to be on the nitrous. i think im ganna do alot more research and make sure i find the best place to buy the system for the cheapest. I think im ganna get zexs wet direct port kit along with its starter package that comes with everything you need to run nitrous right. 200whp is nice and hopefully it will be plunty to beat some low boosted vtecs. In which my hole goal is to beat vtecs. If anyones got some more suggestions about places to buy the kit and accessiries cheaper, im all ears. im hopein to be ready by spring of 08. Ill also post as many pics along the way. Thanks Guys!!!!

[duh2150]

just buy a 5 speed lol itll help greatly

GTFO. He'll be fine if he follows all the good advice in this thread.

yeah i know he will, its bad for the engine tho, makes alot of wear, i wanna be the first one to have created the pure oxygen injection shoots pure oxygen into the intake, wel lnot pure the dam thing would blow up lol like half oxygen, in the air normal is like what 10% oxygen, lol spray 50 50 50 percent oxygen and 50 percent nitro threw a hooked up nozzle or somthing, im just dreaming lol but still, take liek one of them breather helpers and hook it up as like a oxygen tank for super power lol
