Default Nitrous Question (75shot/rpm range)

I'm planning on getting the Nitrous Express Stage 1 wet kit..

i will be spraying a 75 wet shot..

i plan on getting a window switch, and WOT switch.. so that it only sprays at WOT and for a certain RPM range..

my question is what should that RPM range be? would spraying before vtec do damage when it switchs over.. so i should only spray from 6500 to 9000..

also should i spray all the way up to 9,000rpm i'm afraid if it cuts off right there.. their might be nos still in there in the millisecond it takes to hit the rev limiter.. and do damage.


also, i'm getting a thermoswitch bottle warmer.. what other stuff do i need to know.. and what other accessories do i need? whats the bottle opener needed for?

also, I race about once or twice a week i'd spray about that often.. do ya'll think it will do any damage

A remote bottle opener just opens the bottle. This is good, and bad. It's nice, that if you run into someone on the street, you can open the bottle with a switch. (You don't want to drive around with the bottle open) Normally you'd have to get out and open the bottle in the trunk before a race. The only bad thing is, it's just that easy to open the bottle now...and you'll end up using it more often if it's that easy to setup.

Basically you can spray safely from about 3000 rpm to redline. It's a good idea to cut off a couple hundred RPM before redline to clear things out if you do happen to hit the rev limiter. Nitrous will not damage your engine if it's installed correctly and tuned properly. It will put more stress on your engine (more so at lower RPMs) but the effect is similar to a turbo or supercharger in that aspect.

Nitrous helps enormously below VTEC, that is where you'll notice the biggest change.

Also, don't forget about our group buy which we'll be starting up soon! We will have awesome prices on the Nitrous Express Stage 1, and 2 kit (direct port).

Info given is solid.

Window switch I highly recommend and I like the bottle heater and remote opener as well.

If I were to use a nitrous kit I would have these extras.

While your at it, I would also get a purge kit for sh*ts and giggles and a nitrous pressure gauge.

See below for my pride and joy setup on my '95 Impala SS.
