NITROUS.?

93Lx.Conv5.0 · January 21st, 2012, 04:43 AM

I WAS WONDERING HOW MUCH NITROUS COULD YOU PUT ON A BASICALLY STOCK 5.0 SAFELY WITHOUT ANY WORRIES OUT IT NOT HANDLING IT?

69fastback · January 21st, 2012, 09:13 AM

Depends on how well you can tune it.

93Lx.Conv5.0 · January 21st, 2012, 02:38 PM

what you mean the Nos system or the engine air and fuel systems?

86_Notch · January 21st, 2012, 02:53 PM

175

93Lx.Conv5.0 · January 21st, 2012, 03:02 PM

175 shot is a quit bit of power thats right in my area... I wasn't trying to go all out and putting my engine in danger

FastStang91Lx · January 21st, 2012, 03:38 PM

Make sure your fuel system is up to the task of sending extra fuel by upgrading your pump for safety. If you are using a dry shot, upgrade your injectors as well.

e3sean · January 21st, 2012, 04:00 PM

First off STOP YELLING AT US!

keep pushing it up till your engine blows up... then wherever it ran it without blowing up thats where you should have stopped..

on stock components its just borrowed time no matter what you run. your tune will have everything to do with it. if you have the octaine and suffecient fuel to keep it out of detonation it will run as long as the parts will last.

i have herd of people running up to 200 hp shot of nitrous on stock motors for some before they blew up. then i have watched people blow them up on a 75 shot..

the current condition of your engine has alot to do with it.... do you have 100k+ miles on it?

93Lx.Conv5.0 · January 22nd, 2012, 02:56 PM

I did have over 100k but the engine has been rebuilt from ground up... and i really don't want to push it until my engine blows up because I don't have money like that to be replacing a engine... but I can do the things to prevent it

so all it depends on is how you tune the fuel system?

e3sean · January 22nd, 2012, 03:30 PM

can you afford to be without the car if somthing happens?

FastStang91Lx · January 22nd, 2012, 04:41 PM

If not, better stick with a 50 shot

StangBanger302 · January 22nd, 2012, 06:06 PM

Allllllll depends on the tune. Here's some examples for you....

My friend has a 5.0 swapped Mitsubishi station with gt40ps/explorer intake/bcam and he ran a 175 shot through a dry shot. He sprayed it quite a few times and it was fine.

I've seen local guys spray their Honda's with a 75 shot and they blew their shit up...

There's a local machine shop called Ace Crankshaft and their head Porter has a roller xxx block with stock rods/crank with aftermarket pistons and he sprays a 150 shot in first gear. When second hits he hits it with a 300. Yes, you read right. A 300. His tune is spot on and he doesn't rattle his bottom end.

For your car, I'd say read the instructions that come with the kit (very conservative tune) and spray a 100 shot. Good luck.

93Lx.Conv5.0 · January 22nd, 2012, 07:19 PM

yea i can afford not having the car its just the car was passed down to me from my father so i rather not just destroy it... and with all this nos talk being said making me just want to do a supercharged car and just tune that system couldnt be to much hard than tuning a nos system

StangBanger302 · January 22nd, 2012, 07:38 PM

I would and have done NOS setups. Supercharged setups I wouldn't touch.

69fastback · January 22nd, 2012, 07:55 PM

The guy doing my tune up ran a 300 shot for two years on a stock 302. I know a few people that have done it. As noted before, I've seen people melt their shit on a 100 shot too.

93Lx.Conv5.0 · January 22nd, 2012, 07:56 PM

lol but the thing is i would have to pay for all that tuning rather nos or supercharged because i don't know how to do none of that

e3sean · January 22nd, 2012, 08:52 PM

tuning is just an afternoon on the dyno. or having a good datalogging wideband. being able to read plugs and knowing what detonation sounds like so you can get out of it before it goes kaboom.

your still gonna have to tune it with a supercharger setup.

have you thought about just doing like a heads/cam/intake/exhaust setup maybe even add a stroker kit in there first?? would be about the same as a new supercharger and you will gain close to the same amount if not more power and then have room to grow later for a supercharger/ nitrous.

93Lx.Conv5.0 · January 22nd, 2012, 09:05 PM

I'm working on getting some for racing heads right now but it has alittle b303 cam in it I'm hearing that i should upgrade from the letter cams to somethings else but thats what i have now I also have gt40 upper and lower and shorties going into and H-pipe into some flows sounds real gud lol... but at the same time i don't want know RACE CAR i want a nice car i can drive on the street and maybe take to the track and run mid 11s on some nice street tires

gripthenboost · January 22nd, 2012, 09:06 PM

Nitrous is a very powerful tool if you can monitor it safely and get a good tune too put it to good use. Now if your lazy like me and just wanna start woopin ass go Boost. But the old guys on the site will help you with baby bottle questions...
