Well I am wondering if you guys would buy NOS for the CL? Do you think our tranny would hold up?

ZEX sells a nitrous kit for our car for 595 bucks for up to 75 shots.

Type S

no i would not do that to my car... i always do not like nos system.. i will try to keep my engine as stock as possible..

MCHM3

there is or was a kid with a black cl-s here with nos he raced me once and blew me away by 5 car lengts thats when i only had header he had 100 shot but i think he blew the tranny...............i asked doug(syncivic) and with all the stress on my tranny if i were to put nos it would for sure start to slip...............i had nos on my v6 accord and 6 months later my tranny started slippin really bad so i dont suggest nos

WiLd~CL~TYPS-@SS

I would like to try the NOS sometimes...but not on my cl-s tho

StreetEffectz

Hell yeah I would do it (if I had a CLS) but I would only get the VENOM kit.

4thGSi

Ahhh, yea i would do it just for kicks, and if i had a lot of money for repairs. For now i'm satisfied...

Type S Smokes All

im doin it

Just do something mild, like a 50 shot. I don't see much of a problem with that. Keep it reserved except for special occasions. Just make sure you do the correct setup. I don't know much about NOS, but I know you need to increase the fuel level when the nitrous runs through

NOVAwhiteTypeS

nope never.

StreetEffectz

The only reason I said Venom is becuase my brother and I we JUST talking about NOS and VENOM has all kinds of added safety features, etc, to avoid screwing up your engine. I don't know all the details, but I'm sure I can find out if you like

Caddy©

Nope !

X3.2CLSX

Jeez, I dont know what to do.

Jayru

Sounds to me like some members have watched The Fast and the Furious one to many times

I'd go for the supercharger before nos. Nos is like cheating.

MtBikR

Yeah but for the best bang for your buck, you can't beat NOS

langjae

Just do it! I'm definitely getting a 50..maybe 75.., but just debating on which system. VENOM is good since it electronically gives you the amount of hp shot you want to use. Zex is okay, but its dry..I hear wet is better. Anything used responsibly will not pose any problems.

I was thinking about Nitrous on my old 3000gt, but got rid of it before I had a chance. Any research I come across, I'll be sure to post it...

I am running a NOS wet 70-80 shot just fine.

phatpat

what do you run in the 1/4?

[VTEC]TL

Haven't ran at the track yet. I plan to soon though. Most likely in the low 14's, traction permitting

Sypher

I'm not going to add nitrous to my CL. Of course, I'm not in a part of the states where I really need one. I've never even seen one around here.

JRock

I'd get the first two parts of NOS: N and O. (NO)

Damn I'm clever.

X3.2CLSX

what is recommended? Wet or Dry? I dont understand the difference but I would like to know before I go ahead and purchase NOS or not purchase one. The guy I know is selling NOS for $600 installed and I think it was DRY. I want to make my car look like a sleeper because everyone is has their car modded. I like giving suprises.

Any suggestions

cDucTiVe

i thought about the idea a couple of times... but in praticality NO i wouldn't do it unless the warranty is up... true, NOS does get you the most "bang for your buck" and if used conservatively should not damage your car too much... but i get mixed answers on how the tranny will handle it... (manual cars do have a stronger tranny) also if you do get a NOS system, i hear that a dry one would suffice especually if you're only running 50-75 shot. plus i hear dry systems are easier to control as well as cost less (someone correct me if i'm wrong).

[VTEC]TL

I'd go with a wet system. They are safer than dry kits, and they have the possibility of going to higher shot levels than a dry kit. The highest I would run on a dry kit would be around 70-75. Also, dry kits put extra stress on your fuel injectors because they make them work harder to add more fuel to the cylinders. With a wet kit, the fuel is added to the intake tract through the fogger which doesn't put any additional stress on the injectors.

Scorpius

No NOS here. I don't believe in NOS or SC, or Turbos. If you're going to have the HP, don't cheat, get an engine that already has the power.

CLpower

it's safe..just don't spray much...blown motors and tranny's are usually done by people who squeeze every morning on the way to work etc.

scalbert

The one concern I'd have with a Wet system in the Type-S is the intake manifold, or rather the plenum separation.

I do agree that wet systems can be superior in many cases. But the benefits are seen when individual nozzles are used per intake runner. When a single, larger wet nozzle is used up stream you run the risk of puddling the fuel and then running lean.

Because of the intake manifold design in the Type-S I could see a definite worry of puddling, who knows how the fuel vapor will react when the butterfly valve opens.

[VTEC]TL

A guy around here is running a 100 shot single fogger wet on his CL-S. The TL doesn't have that butterfly valve that the CL-S has so I should be ok. I wouldn't worry so much about the engine not being able to handle the increased pressures of the NOS, I'd worry more about the tranny than the engine.

scalbert

You should be fine and most probably a CL-S would be fine.

My concerns stem from seeing small amounts of oil in the center plenum (probably puddling from oil vapor from the crank releif, etc.). And then also from stories from the SHO crowd of people going lean in a cylinder or two when running a single nozzle wet system.

MCHM3

the only thing im worried about with nos isnt the engine its the tranny these tranny's are weak

nt5k

so if you use nos what helps with the tremendous torque steer you bound to get?

speed is worthless without control.. I alway see you guys talk about mods to performance but no says anything about brake upgrades or anything? ehh..

Rod

The only worthwhile brake upgrade I see would be the Bremob kit, but that's about $2,000.

X3.2CLSX

I dont got 2 g's for brakes. I might as well take a long time to brake

nt5k

so you guys would rather have large amounts of power but not be able to slow down? ehh different strokes for different folks..

e1828

nope, no gonna do it, wouldn't be prudent

blazerbob1

Would use NOS only with drag racing and heavily modified engine! Pistons,rods,tranny!
Though I think 70 would be ok on our engine
but the tranny is different ballgame! If they
are blowing in stock conditions and you add
NOS:::???

SFLA_Type-S

I DON'T SEE A PROBLEM WITH A 50 OR 60 SHOT. IF USED CORRECTLY & IN MODERATION NITROUS IS VERY SAFE. I HAD (70 SHOT/DRY) NITROUS ON MY OLD CAR FOR 3 YEARS & THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAD WAS HAVING TO BUY NEW TIRES.

Dyno_CL-S

i'm thinking of getting a 50-100 shot on the lude! i gotta research it more tho. i dont wanna void the used car warranty it has.

phatpat

that's gonna be tight, go for 75 shot
