ok i have been doing some searching on this topic but cant find anything answering my question, how does a 4g63t run on nitrous? i have heard that turbo cars dont like nitrous, but at the same time i have seen a car with a twin turbo setup running a 150 shot, i ask all this because some honda kid traded me a nx kit for a sub and amp i had, but all it is is a 5lb. bottle the sylenoid and the wires coming out of the sylenoid and the steel braided line from the sylenoid to the bottle and it is all really short, like it would make an under hood sneaky pete, but i think it is a dry shot kit because there is no jets, and no fuel line connection to the sylenoid. anyone have any answers for me?:coy:
 
how so are you saying i shouldnt consider installing it?
 
ok i wasnt considering installing the kit i have, but do our cars just reject the spray or do they choke up or what, because i have been thinking about uying a nx wet kit
 
because i am torn between buying a 16g or sticking with stock and running a little 50 shot
 
You'll make more power more safely with the 16g.
 
I STRONGLY advise you not to run it.
A.K.A. DONT!
It makes your car shit out later in its life. Its like ramming your pistons, forcing them to move faster than they should.
If the car is built to with stand it, then its ok. But I would never run it.

The 16g.
 
When it comes down to it, most engines don't really love huge turbos either but we all still run them, what's key is fine-tuning fuel maps and what not, it is common knowledge though, that huge turbos and one small mistake can kill your engine. In that same way, most engines don't love nitrous (NAWZZ) but if you do it right, it won't decrease the life of your engine by too much. Again though one small mistake car runs too rich or lean and BOOM :ohdamn: you're in the market for a new short block :thumb:. With a dry shot compared to wet, I'm sure you know, accuracy goes out the window, which is nooo good. But in the end nitrous will be trading off reliabilty for fun, and speed.

I see no comparison between the two. How often are you really going to use that nitrous, compared to using the 16g everytime you drive?
 
ok so what i have gathered is with spray you are forcing your engine to produce more rpm's in a quicker time? while a 16g is doing the same thing but safely?
 
Basically, nitrous works great... When used correctly....

On'a stock bottom end 4g63, i wouldnt think of using it... unless your talking about a Wet 25shot for spool up or something

....Its like ramming your pistons, forcing them to move faster than they should....

What exactly do you think turbo's do to pistons :idontknow:

....what's key is fine-tuning fuel maps and what not....But in the end nitrous will be trading off reliabilty for fun, and speed.....

ok while i am still using my car as a dd i will not consider it but once i buy another and i have a car to use as a weekend warrior, i will think aout it further thanks guys. and yes i will be buying the 16g, i just wanted some thoughts considering they ( the 16g and a nitrous kit) are roughly the same price, minus an install kit for the 16g and filling the bottle
 
Nitrous is just jamming more oxygen (and nitrogen) into the engine. Which lets you jam more fuel in. The same way a turbo does. However, the turbo has safety mechanisms such as your wastegate which prevent it from killing your engine and your turbo can be very well controlled by a well tuned fuel map. A dry kit can only be roughly tuned (if you can call it that). If we had a roughly tuned car running a gt45r would it be safe to say that engine is probably gonna die soon? Welcome to the world of dry injection nitrous.:nono:
 
i agree.. nitrous is a hell of a time but you MUST know what you are doing! and Running nitrous on stock internal is a absoult NEGIVATIVE... my brother did that once when he was young.... car lasted two weeks and snapped one rod and shot it through the oil pan!
Took the engine apart to take a look and the piston had a chunk gone all the way through it!

Again Nitrous is fun but you have to be careful!
 
ok thanks everyone i am going to hold off for a while:)
 
wow this is funny i b etter tell all my buddys running nitrous on there motors to stop LOL. if set up correctly a nitrous set up running a small jet say 50 -75 shot is no more dangerous on your motor than a 16g at say 16-18psi they both accomplish the same thing. if it were up to me id do the 16g and not mess with the nitrous never liked having to depend on keeping my bottle filled.
 
Nitrous will not hurt your motor....Don't let others stupidity stray you away from using it. The only thing you should be concerned with is which will net you with your goals at a lower price.

In the long run the cheaper and more cost effective option is going to be upgrading to a 16g. Everything will still look stock under the hood, and you don't have to worry about filling up a nitrous bottle all the time.

But to answer your question, yes our cars like nitrous...every motor in the world loves nitrous:thumb:
 
You'll make more power more safely with the 16g.

This guy made 521hp on the t-25 and Nitrous!

Officer Brian O'Connor's car didn't like it.
