Nitrous is in its element on a stock motor.....For instance you can prolly run an 80 shot safely on your stock malibu, Bolt on a turbo or supercharger you get less bang for your buck ...Without a built motor I wouldnt run more than a 30 shot on a boosted I4 and a 50 shot on a boosted 6 Cyl.......Nitrous is not dangerous for your motor.....Its the install and the Aftermarket parts you put in it after you start sprayin.......For example putting agressive cams in your car is acceptable, but you have to drop shot.....Or you can run a NOS cam that has a longer exhaust duration.....no matter what you dont want to raise compression to high and you never under any circumstances want to advance your timming (Most chips) (Some cams) When you advance your timing you cause detonation witch blows your motor.........Does that answer your question?

 

yes...so what u r basically sayin is it's better to put nos on a stock engine...but if you want to do upgrades, go for turbo's and superchargers, ryte? thanks for the info man

 

No thats not what I said at all...I said if you run boost you have to spay a lighter shot........I put it this way If you build a turbo car you dont use N/A tricks you build a strictly turbo motor, so in essence if you gonna run NOS you might as well build an NOS motor.....Dont hold me liable for blowing up your motor because you cant read.......

 

lol...i got ya man

 

Yeah ... and dont go putting anything higher than a 55 Shot on it if you do .... you dont have Forged Pistons and Rods.

 

i hope your are joking but, if not then....nitrous is a NON-FLAMABLE gas. but, when introduced to compression, gas and spark it will combust. you can take a torch, light it, and open the bottle and the pressure will most likely put out the torch. nitrous becomes dangerous at high bottle pressures. if the bottle gets tooo hot it can explode. but if you get rear ended, it is rare that it would even hurt the bottle.(the bottle is like 1 inch thick steel)

also, spraying a moderte ammount on a stock motor is ok. the more you modd(breathing mods, headers, full exhaust etc..) willl dramatically help when spraying. but, when mods become serious, (ported heads, cams, pistons, chips) this can cause a lean condition leading to detonation and a blown motor.

in conclusion, nitrous is not dangerous when the air/fuel ratio is correct. but keep in mind that nitrous is like steroids, it builds your motor up for the mean time, but in the long run, it can decrease the life of your engine.

 

No offense dude....

 

Thats what I said.....lol When building a good NOS motor you might want to have your insides coated with Molybdenum I think is what its called it actually saves about 2 years of your NOS motors life......

 

You have the 3.8 liter in that right?? If so the highest I would spray is 50 wet or 75 dry.. Wet kit is better because it sprays N20 and fuel into the intake to richen the mixture.. The downside to this is N20 backfires!! This is caused by fuel puddling in the intake.. Usually its a install erorr!! Dry kits dont have Backfires but they make your injectors work harder.. Its much easier to run lean on a cylinder with dry shot.. The set up is usually before the Maf sensor and the nozzel only sprays N20 through the maf, to richen the the engine. Wet kits produce more tq then dry kits.. They best kit out now is a direct port wet kit in witch you mount the N20 nozzels on the fuel injectors.. This gets rid of the Backfires, hits hard as hell, and still get the amazing tq numbers.. The only problem is the kits cost 1400-1700 dollars and to me thats a little to much for spray.. Rather get a blower.. I got my wet kit for 300.00 and it kicks ass..On my 50 wet shot I gained 70hp and 72ftlbs at the wheels on the dyno!! My advise is get a good dry kit and spray a 50-75 shot and have some fun!!

 

i think he was talkin about the fact that nitrous is pressurized while it's in the bottle... not that it's flammable... and it's a pretty logical question... i mean, like take a soda can... if you were to like hit it wit sumthin hard in a forceful manner, it would "explode" and fly everywhere... i'm thinkin this is what he was tryin to ask... but then again... i could be wrong
