Say you have an awd astro van, and a free nitrous bottle... wouldnt they go well together? Just outta curiosity (not cause im actually going to do this or anything :D ) what would be involved in setting up a nitrous oxide system on my astro van? I was gonna put an old t25 on it, but i think the 4.3L v6 wouldnt benifit a whole lot from it, and i cant figure out where to put it in the engine bay. Anyway... i was thinking of running a 50 shot in it just to see what would happen. i was just going to take parts from a kit for an LS1 and mount everything right on the air box. would this work? also, do i need to do anything fuel related? thanks.
 
Whatever you do. Make sure you have a video camera running when you first shoot that van with NOS..

oh believe me, i will. its already got an hks filter on it (made for a dsm, but we made it fit on the maf of my van) and it regularly eats up civics. i just wanna be able to take out some things a little bigger, if not have bragging rights... i got a van with nawz. however, i wont be doing that until my car has the fmic and green paid for and installed. just wanna know what it would take to do it...
 
probably gonna be a dry shot since it is going in through the air box like on the LS1 kit we installed on my friend's TA. Any other ideas? Also, im not too framiliar with how a wet shot would work.

and yes, i do need two bottles, and i need them by tonight so i can almost beat an rx7 with it. :cool:
 
Wet shot injects extra fuel along with the nitrous.
 
wet shot of f a ls1 taps into the fuel pressure nipple on the fuel rail and into the intake pipe its easy i have done it a couple of times you could go with a 75-100 shot safely i think :rolleyes:.


o yea he has enuf nitros in this thing to blow us all up!!!! :laugh:
 
LOL, the van's got almost 90k miles on it... i can't run big shots of nitrous. on the van i cant even find the fuel rail. im sure in order for me to find it i gotta open up the dash (thats where the motor is) and i figured for a car that is probably going to use the bottle twice in it's whole life, a dry shot right at the air box should do the trick.

what about those zex filters with the little hole so you can plug in a nitrous line? has anyone heard anything about those?

A dry shot does not mean that you have no fuel enrichment.

A dry shot means that there is no fuel injected at the nitrous injection point.

You will still need to locate the FPR (which is probably attached to the fuel rails). Dry kits pressurize the vacuum to the FPR in order to increase rail pressure, which will provide extra fuel.

directily shooting N2O into a 90k mile ford moater would gaurentee to shut it down ROFL

good thing it's not a ford.... it's a chevy. once my car is done then this will be my next project. ill make a new post when it is done... but dont count on that being anytime in 2005.
 
Last weekend my friends "installed" a kit on some old POS bronco. All they did was shove the line down the intake. One person would sit in the passender seat with the bottle and turn the valve open when the driver went WOT. We did this probably 10 times with 87 octane in the tank and it didn't blow. You could definetely feel and hear it spraying too. I even raced it in my laser :D
I'll post some vids later if anyone wants to see.

in a n/a viehicle use a dry kit, your stock fuel system will handle it.

In ANY car, turbo or not, just spring for the wet kit. The price difference now is negligable (especially if you read my write-up on the NX mainline kit awhile back) that the peace of mind more than makes up for it, especially when running a larger shot.

Well, maybe not in a junker and all.....but in anything else one cares about....
 
as long as your fuel system is up to bar a dry system is fine, and you dont have to worry about fuel puddleing up in the intake with a dry kit, theres perks to both, a dry kit has less to fail too, and is just as safe as a wet kit as long as you have the fuel pressure safety switch on it, but if you want to go anything over a 150 shot i highly suggest a wetkit, but anything under that dry kit is perfectly safe.
 
One of my friends worked at a tuning shop around here and he used this old Geo Storm is a winter car. when we had a track day his WRX was down beacuse his engine was being re-build. so a few day's before we bolted on a huge fart can bolted an intake from a civic. pulled the head off and ported the shit out of it(hey why not?) and threw on a 75shot of zex. believe it or not he ran in the 15's stock it was like a 17 second car....well not that it matter it was just fun to drive it there cause on track day everyone race's. Oh yeah we also covered it in product stickers
