hey all, i was wondering if nitrous was worth it. anyone have any stories to entice me into buying it? how much of a performance gain will i see on the street running a 55 or 65 or 75 shot? just want to know if its worth the money.

I got 185WHP and 208WTQ from a 75 shot. This should be in the forced induction section though. You'll prolly get more answers that way.

I seen a auto 7th gen on a 50 shot beat 4 celica GT-S 6spds with I/E at the track. was a sad day for the celicas worst part is outa 8 celicas there that day they were ALL silver twice people thought I was the one getting beat by the civic. lol he joined this site too. he posted about running a 10.0 1/8 mile.

I think its worth it for you.

if you decide to get one, i think kjgracing is selling his nx wet kit for pretty cheap, almost $200 less than what i paid for the same exact thing

NX wet kits are no joke

yo, i ran nx for 2 years and wiht just a 50 shot i was hitin 9.79 at 74 mph in 1/8 mile all the time. these little civics pull real good with just a 50 shot. save the bigger shots for the track. and after spending hundreds if not thousands on bottle fill ups you could of bought a turbo that gives you this hp all the time. turbo specialties extreme kit 7psi at 165.4 whp.

Have u been back to the track since? Turbo is nice for everyday power, but doesnt ALWAYS prove to be as effective at the track. I've seen some nitrous setups walk turbos all night long at the track. Some people prefer to upgrade internals for the everyday power that they crave. It really all boils down to preference in my opinion. You can always use both if you're really serious about racing!

Nope, i gotta get the jets for the 75 shot hopefully sometime soon, then i plan to be running it at the track in April during a show coming here

Put it this way, if you blow your engine, all it is going to set you back is 600 bux

no the track opens on the 3rd of april and yes i would agree to your perfoemance reply about nitrous. my last race at the track i beat a gsx, he claimed he was running 14 lbs of boost. either or i beat him fair n square with a 75 shot and other mods in my 02 ex. he had me off the line but i caught him in an 1/8 mile. but all seriousness, i think i'll do better with my set up this year. i put in a t25 bb extreme kit, and aem plug n play. but like thiscrackerntam said. side by side for horespowere for horsepower, I have respect for nitrous it usually detemins the win, but i have broke more parts with it. the most recen my rocker shaft. it look like a hammer was taken to it. real racers repair and race again though.
peace

OK if you want a nitrous story, heres one thats kinda funny... The first time at the track on the bottle I had one pass where I was lined up next to a late model mustang GT that sounded like it was lightly modded (possibly intake and flowmasters). I ended up losing the race, but only because one of the wires that connects to my WOT switch some how mysteriously came disconnected and my nitrous didnt work. The stang ran a 14.8 and I didnt run anything slower than a 14.6 that night on the bottle, so therefore I would've beaten him if I had been sprayin IMO. So if you ask me, is it worth the money? Hell yeah its worth the money.

are you all running wet kits and not the dry kit ? im getting a venom kit and Im not sure wether wet or dry . from what i have been reading wet is the way to go ,

just curious, how much is it to refill a nitrous tank? Ive never heard any sort of pricing on it.

 
Rep Power: 0

Range anywhere from $2.00-$4.00 per lbs. from what I've heard. Depends on where you're at. 10lbs bottle seem to be the most common so all u have to do is the math.

 
Rep Power: 0

$23,543 ****. I knew i shouldnt have dropped outta 3rd grade.

you definitly have to be careful with it, i know a guy that has blowen his engine several times with nitros, he's had to replace his pistons like 3 times
