Im looking at putting a 50-75 shot of nitrous on the s, anyone running wet or dry shots? Im leaning more tward the wet. Any experience?!

 

boom.

 

Ofcourse that is the first reply I dont know anything about nitrous but from what I have heard a wet 50 shot is pretty safe. Now my friend blew his engine with 100 shot (dry wet?) after a few months constantly shooting. But that was getto rigged just slap on "nos". If you know what you are doing and keep it safe you should be fine shooting it every now and then for drags.

 

The reason cars go boom with nitrous is cause they tend to run lean. People automatically assume nitrous will blow up your engine but thats just ignorance at its finest.

This motor has forged internals and im pretty sure it could even handle up to a 100 wet shot. Wet will be safer, make sure you get colder spark plugs, bigger injectors, and a good tune and you should be fine.

I ran a 75 dry shot on my integra LS with stock internals for almost a year. I had full MSD ignition, retarded the timing about 3 degrees, bigger injectors and tuning. Ran perfectly fine. I recommend the ZEX kit I ran in my teggy. Automatically turns on at WOT. Ran mid 13s on street tires, not spraying in first.

 

I know a guy in mayport whose running a 75 dry on his S. NO PROBLEMS!! I think with my VAFC tuned and the mods im running now i should be good. Im probably gonna go 65 wet. With ZEX... What ignition components do you recommend?

 

Honestly I would recommend something better than the VAFC2. If you get cheap with this kind of stuff you will end up needing a new motor. I would get an AEM EMS so you can retard the timing and adjust fuel more accurately. Get temperature 8 or 9 NGK spark plugs.

 

from what I've seen it's not worth it

 

Nitrous has always creeped me out i've heard alot of horror stories but i'm sure you could run a 50 shot safely if your tuned properly. I see you've pretty much fully bolted your S and there is a big gap in hp and money when you want more hp in are cars lol

 

IMO Nitrous is definately worth it if your looking for more straight line acceleration. A 100 shot is worth any where from 80-100whp.

The reason it causes so much horror stories is mostly because of the F&F movies. All these kids think theyre going to go into warp speed with NAWS. So they just slap on a 75 shot on their stock eclipse or whatever and start spraying everywhere.

On a proper build nitrous can be very reliable. Its just so misunderstood. The reason nitrous isnt popular with S2000's is because most s2000's dont drag race which is where nitrous shines. On a track nitrous wouldnt be as good since its a sudden surge of 80whp coming out of a corner will definately cause traction issues.

Lets not forget a brand new nitrous kit is extremely cheap and can be afforded by 16 year olds and again they just slap the kit on there civic and expect it to be ok. Nitrous is like any FI, its as reliable as you want it to be. If you take no precautions what so ever then you will be shopping for a new engine.

 

The only way I would run NOS, is if I had a car built for it. Its poor mans horse power untill your engine takes a shit.

Get gears...
