Hey all!

I'm almost sure about what I will do:
I just went to a great shop around here in Detroit (Street Legal Customs), I got what I think is a good deal on a Nitrous system.

It's a NOS 50-75 shot, installed for $950 (the kit itself for my engine, 2.3 VTEC, is $690)

First off:
-is it a good price?
-will a 50 or 75 shot ruin my engine?

Please, if there is anything else I should know of, let me know and all your comments are more than appreciated.

Peace out dudes!

 

Another red CL with nitrous.. interesting. Not sure about prices myself, Im sure shiney will chime in if he's still roaming these forums

 

"I need one of the big ones...no, make it two."

 

a ZEX kit was goin for $450 a while back when i was looking into NO2

 

Yea, you should be able to find the kit for about $500. I bought my kit for around that price like over 2 years ago.

 

Zex is the safest way to go in NO2, price is right to

 

correction, zex is the most "user friendly"

 

But $950 installed isn't horrible if they're doing everything, salem are you running a dry shot or wet injection?

 

dry shot. Wet injections are usually for supercharged or turbocharged cars...
That's what I thought too... I got a good price: $950 completely installed. That's why I'm going to do it. But wanted you guys to tell me what you thought.

Do you guys think a 75 shot would screw up the engine? Would an Nitrous system in general fuck up my 2.3CL?

Any precautions?

thnx dudes.

 

That's not enough spray to screw up your engine, shineynitelite was spraying double that

 

I've always heard dry shot is not as safe as wet shot...

 

its the other way around. but spraying is always not safe .

 

yup, engines with dry shot kits have a higher chance of running too lean =

the opposite can be said for wet kits... too rich also =

 

thats why its important to have an adequate fuel delivery system.

 

But dry shots are usually considered safer, wet shot is a better delivery but involves WAY more to deliver it

 

it all depending on how much you use it. it you abuse your prevlidges with spary, your gonna have to deal with teh consequences.

but make sure you buy other key components before you install the nitrous.

 

Well said

 

nitrous actually isnt out of the question for me either. im too lazy to do a motor swap with my friends so nitrous could definitly be in my future as well, that is if i decide keep this car longer.

 

I've already decided I'm gonna try to keep my car FOREVER. So when I'm like 45 I won't say "man when I was a kid i had this sick car, I wish I still had it" cuz i will still have it... I'll be a pro at CL's then haha... It'll probably be completly modded out like crazy...

 

Yeah, talk to me in 2-3 years

 

haha, I second that

 

Hey Cocoa, did you ever have NO2 when you had the 3.0 motor? How many shots did you run? Any trouble?

 

word. ive had my car for 2 years and all already thinking about making a down payment on a new honda/acura.

 

Yea, You're probably right but I'm gonna try to keep it for almost forever haha..

 

Traitors, theres no way im getting rid of Claudia. I know that for a fact! If i buy another car, she'll still be sitting in the driveway or the garage, she'll just be my gorgeous project car

And maybe you want to upgrade your fuelpump also when you get your nitrous kit, my boy failed to do so (upgrade his fuel system) and his engine went ka-boom.

 

well if you upgrade that then you need to upgrade your injectors as well, grab some dsm 450s, very cheap

 

I had a 125 wet shot on the 3.0 engine. Never had a problem with the motor or the tranny for the year.

 

Thanks!

 

I said this a few years back as well. Even if you assumed you'd get a new car 3 or 4 years down the road, there's no reason not to have fun with it while you have it. I put more money into my car than i'm ever going to get out of it, but i'll never forget the glory days of my CL.

 

noob question !! wet shot goes through the intake and dry shot is directly into the cylinders. right?

 

Shiney and I were running 95+ shots weekly for 2 years and never had a problem

 

WRONG!



Other way around, dry shot is into the intake, wet is with the injectors

 

Dry shot is in the intake tubing.

Wet shot is in the intake tubing.

Direct port is in the intake manifold. (i'm assuming that's what you meant)

The only difference between wet and dry shot, is that with the wet shot you "T" off the fuel line and have a seperate jet for the fuel line which is delivered at the same time as the nitrous into the intake tubing.

 

Wrong!

dry is just nitrous through the intake, wet is nitrous/fuel through the intake, and direct port is through the injectors.

 

oops too late

 

That's what I meant, sorry typo, was watching girls next door uncut

 

Girl next door

I found it kind of lacking in comparison to other similar movies.

 

 

sup bitch. Whats new?

 

13 hour days. fuck life.
