thinking about putting a 50 shot on my 105000 mile 2000gt and don't really know a whole lot about nitrous besides used wrong and you'll be buying a new motor so how many of you guys thinks this might be a bad idea? not going to be using it alot but you never know whats pulling up next to yea

I think you will be fine heres what you may need:

Bottle heater/ bottle blanker
Pressure/ gauge regulator
Purge valve
Remote valve
Wide open throttle
Window switch/ boost switch

If I were you I would use it after 3k rpms
Theres an explanation for each of this ^ on american muscle

Remember that not all of nitrous are going to give you the same hp.

[F8L GT]

you could even run a 100 shot on it if you wanted to. and yes do not spray at under 3k rpms. It will cause puddling in the intake. Huge chance of a nitrous back fire and blowing your intake off

[F8L GT]

you should also run a spark plug that is one step colder

[ModularSteed]

+1 on the not under 3k rule

[hardhitter]

+1 on the 100 shot

[sharkbait]

Lol your going to shoot the 50 shot 3 times and be like wtf im going for 100!

Just do 100 and call it a day.
+1 on 3k rule and list of accesories. Be safe or your pay later

[Built4]

ya i say run atleast a 75 or 100

deff going for a wet kit but will stock fuel pump hold up? anything i can do to make sure i don't have a backfire don't wanna have to get a new motor yet

[2002 BLK GT]

Yes, the fuel pump will hold, I don't remember if its after 100 when you need to retard timing and get it tuned.

Go on American Muscle, they sell everything for a Zex kit. The kit itself comes with a 75hp jet, and 125hp jet. But you can buy a 100hp jet.

You'd want 1 step colder plugs. A traction control swtich, so it wont spray befpre 3krpm and if you miss shift. Bottle warmer, purge kit, remote bottle opener etc... Nitrous is usually $5 per pound. And they are 10lb bottles. So only like $50 a refill. Im not sure how much a 10lb bottle lasts.

And youll be fine, the mod motors last for a while as long as they are maintend. I know Baker was running 427rwhp on the stock shortblock at like 137k miles.

you will be fine running a 100 shot with the stock pump. also get a window switch so u can set it not to spray before 3000rpms, thats where most of the backfires happen.

a full 10lb bottle will net you about 6-7 FULL reliable passes... the first couple of passes it will fall off on the back end because it loses a lot of pressure. the next 5-7 passes will be good solid passes. then when there is less than 4lbs in the bottle it will be hard to get a full pass out of it.

[FastestGTAround]

is was going to rock just a arming switch and then just a button to spray with do you guys thinks this is a bad idea? i know i don't want a wot switch, and there's not a need for a tuner right all the cars mods are flows,and a cai really don't wanna hurt my babys motor

[mystang0673]

na, you wont need a tuner. but if your car is a standard you for sure need a window switch and really need a wot switch unless you wanna hold a button in your hand while you shift...

[FastestGTAround]

thanks for the insight anything else someone who has never sprayed a efi motor before?

[mystang0673]

i mean... how much money do you have to spend? i could give you pointers on putting a NICE kit together... a nitrous kit can be just as costly as a blower kit though. Its pretty easy to rack one up to over $1000

[FastestGTAround]

don't really want to put more than 750 in it but you never know what the wife might let me come off of

[Shaun03GT]

I think realistically you might want to spend alittle more than $750...Id say about $1000. Just to be safe. Purge kit is safe, clears the lines of any air pockets. Remote bottle opener is good because if you forget to close it, and you shut the car off overnight...then start it up you could do some harm to ur motor.

a window switch is really good, because u dont want it to pour nitrous if you miss shift, or if ur under 3k rpm. And 1 step colder spark plugs are definatley a must.
