Nitrous on 96-98 cobras

brharris777 · August 26th, 2010, 03:42 AM

I am wondering if anyone is running spray on a stock-mild bolt on cobra in the above years. I am just wondering what to expect if i decide to do it. Reason being is my cobra has 138,xxx miles on it and it doesnt make much sense to do any major engine modding on the engine the way it is, i am planning on an engine build next year and am considering bottle feeding it until then. Any thoughts are welcome.

o cmon somebody please......

Hey as for a educated guess i cant say but i am putting a 100 shot on mine. But im also bought a 40,000 97 cobra motor and adding 03 cobra heads and fr500 intake. I was told a 100 shot would be fine take for what its worth i guess.

brharris777 · September 13th, 2010, 07:58 PM

OMG thank you. where do you get an FR500 intake?

96cobraMystic · September 13th, 2010, 08:14 PM

Well the fr500 intake has been a almost two year saving a hunting. i got it about 12 months ago from a guy who already had one on his mach, and decided to sale the second instead of putting it on the wifes car!! It was a long drawn out process..

I dont even know where i would start looking for one, guess it doesnt make sense to get one since im going blown next winter.

Wet nitrous is bad

Pooling will always happen, and I've seen a 50 shot destroy a perfectly working cobra intake.

Plus, the rods hate nitrous. :/

I would go dry and have some way to lock the injectors open....

bitemark46 · September 14th, 2010, 09:45 AM

To play it safe......

100 dry shot, 42lb injectors, and a bigger pump. Don't get greedy with the timing and it should last....but start saving for a bottom end.

If I were you I would poke your head on the Mach1 Registry, there is a guy by the name of Roy Cole who does some great port work on Mach1 intakes. I would buy one, with some ported Cobra heads, and some aggressive cams. I personally like the Crower N.A 4v cams....

the stock cobra intake performns very well, but if you really want to, go ahead I guess.

My dream is a teksid kellogg crank oliver rod 5.0 stroker topped with fr500c heads and intake.

The intake alone is worth it!! The injectors are in the middle and face directly towards the back of the valve.

Speaking from experience it is not the nitrous that does the damage its the people using it, get a safe tune and a wat switch and your fine, im running mine a 100 shot on my 03 mach 1 and its been on for about 6 month and have been through 6 10ilb bottles and its still running like a champ, like i said wet is the way to go.. NOTHING BETTER FOR THE MONEY

zigbigadoru · September 15th, 2010, 03:05 PM

dry is the more "dangerous" route.....how you came up with wet being more dangerous is BEYOND me

2003MACHWON · September 15th, 2010, 03:58 PM

my bad,majorownage said that wet nitrous is bad.

zigbigadoru · September 15th, 2010, 08:05 PM

my comment was aimed at majorownage. sorry if you misconstrued that

until you get a random ass backfire and boom goes your intake

majorownage · September 23rd, 2010, 09:56 AM

Just found this on youtube

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

pretty much exactly what happened to my friends cobra except he was on the highway.
I luled so hard when i found bits of metal everywhere. I first thought he threw a rod.

You will NEVER have a backfire with a dry system.

96cobraMystic · September 23rd, 2010, 11:23 AM

yeah i seen that video, bad day for that guy. But i also agree if setup is right you can run it safely..
