Anyone in the Bay Area running nitrous?

 

Don't do it.

 

It's to late for that. I am having no issues with it. Just curious to see if anyone else was. I have taken all the proper steps to make it as safe as possible.

 

don't blow the welds on your intake! LOL j/k

prob not going to get much love or feedback here, unless you have a dry carbon/TI super jdmhouse bottle and unobtainium lines. what system are you running though?

 

Did you go wet or dry?

My buddy Jimmy (Saras here on the board) had a 100 bottle on the back of his Civic Type R.* Wet I believe. . . Kinda bummed he didn't use 'em**,***


*the car is not in the U.S. Please remain calm.
**he didn't need them
***the people we were racing were speed limited, kinda funny when that happens. . .

 

Oh, and if you've done safely and successfully, add that knowledge to any of the technical forums.

 

I actually used a lot of info from s2ki. Both very old threads from 2011/2013. I just googled s2ki nitrous install. I'm using a WOT switch(built into the zex management unit), summit window switch(activates 4.2-8.8k), also installed a wideband AFR to keep an eye on things. Went to a step colder plug with a .38 gap. Sprayed a few times and checked the plugs. No signs of detonation. I'm running right around 11-11.5 on my AFR. I could probably change jets to bring it up around 12 but it's pulling strong right now. Also have a lean out switch set at 13.5. Might lower that at 13 just for extra measure.

 

sounds like you have done some good homework. what jet are you currently running? how far back did you install it? are you still on platinum or iridium plugs?

 

I'm running a 65 shot.( don't remember exact jet size,will look later) I installed it about 6" back. I'm running a k&n fipk intake so that's about as far back as I could be. I'm running ngk 4554 copper racing plugs. The car has never run this smooth. I was using the oem iridium plug which has a heat range of 7 and the new plug is an 8. Also closed the gap down to a .38.

 

interesting that you're running so well on copper plugs. have no personal experience w/them on the s2k, but from what i've heard, most others haven't had good experiences with them.
