OK Jumping back on the subject. I know who I should talk to about Nitrous (the topic at hand) noone of your post talk about the compression you need to run nitrous. Everyone wants to know what you can do with stock internals but to be honest if your not serious about running Nitrous, if your not willing to get new pistons rings, Headgaskets etc. why would you even wanna deal with it?

because you can get up to about 60 ponies safely on your stock internals.

i understand the financial part of it but how much life are you gonna shave off internals that aren't meant to handle that kinda pressure

if you run the car well and keep everything top-notch, you won't shave off that much. i've been spraying from 130K miles to now where i have 165K miles. it just gives everyone a taste of power and they crave more, so they [hopefully] go turbo. you're still beating on your internals with a turbo or supercharger, but tons of people have done it on their stock internals.

that 60hp from nitrous is the difference between getting raped by a mustang GT or you doing the raping yourself. for $700 it's worth it.

im going nitrous myself and was wondering, is a new catback exhaust and headers a must ? also i know most wet kits go for around $600. how much would installation be, or how much u paid to get urs installed ?
also one more thing, any1 has pics of their setup ? where they put the bottle and stuff ?
thanks.

catback and headers arn't a must. you can run the nitrous perfectly fine without them. i installed it myself, and you should too. if you don't, considering how easy it is, well, yeah

. put my bottle behind the driver seat so i could open it quickly on the fly.

GREAT deal on nitrous kits:

u prolly have enough experience to do it urself. but since i have no experience whatsoever with nitrous im not gonna take the risk.
maybe ill find some1 to help me. we'll see.

lol, i had no experience when i first did it. read the directions, it's very simple.

which kit r u using ?

**Serstylz2** · 04-21-2005, 08:17 AM

peano when you first installed it what mods did you have? Did you run it stock for a while then upgrade internals?

**peanotation** · 04-21-2005, 12:41 PM

i'm running a wet kit (zex 82021). when i first installed it, all i had was the fuel pump + rewired. i also bought 24 spark plugs 2 steps colder than stock. nitrous loves to eat through spark plugs so you have to change them out every 3-4 bottles. my internals are still 100% stock, this will change drastically in 2 weeks though :twisted:

**Serstylz2** · 04-21-2005, 05:25 PM

so you had the Walbro 190 rewired, any gauges to go w. that? and I dont think I'd want my bottle right behind the front seat, that would be a lil more $$ for one of those kits.

why would it be more money? its the same as any other wet kit.

none of my gauges are nitrous related, i thought about a bottle pressure gauge but i've been reading the ZEX one isn't accurate and then i just got discouraged so i didn't bother with the NX one (plus it isn't very pretty).
