N20

[ONE BAD GOAT]

I am considering N20 but want to know if it will have any ill effects on my motor tranny or rear end?

Also how many .25 runs per 10 lbs bottle?

I was thinking of going with a 50 or 75 shot.
What do I need to buy? Plugs, kit, bottle, switch?

What is the best system? Dry wet brand?

[blackgtosleeper]

It all depends on the size shot you inject. When i was shooting 150 in my truck i could shoot for about a total of 60 seconds (not all at once) on a full 10lb bottle. As for the ill effects, you should be fine as long as your 60 footers arnt getting below 1.7.

come on guys dont make me go to a ricer board for info lol!!!!!!!

Dry or wet at the hp level you're looking for it doesn't matter.

On my LS1 I would NORMALLY get 6 good passes(on a 100) and a 75% pass on the 7th.

On a 150 hit 4 sometimes the 4th pass would start to fall off at 1000ft mark.

On a 75 10.

My stock auto tranny didn't like the 150 hit.

come on guys!!!!! I know you guys know about this stuff!!!! Please help!!!

What ever kit you buy will come with just about everything you need.

Don't use platinum plugs!

Thanks I was also wondering if I wanted to buy a different bottle than the kit has what info do I need to know to buy the right one?

Mmm yes, good call...

I agree, most 'kits' have just about all the parts you'll need. At 75-100hp you can probably just run a single fogger into the airbox or filter pipe before the throttle body. (Many people suggest 18" from the throttle body but that'd put it just about at the filter anyhow.) Other than knowing and practicing safe useage, it should be good for some pretty good fun for awhile. Just dont go spraying it like it cant harm a thing because you'll find yourself rebuilding.

I'm waiting here for something more specific and comprehensive. I have One bad Goat (OBG)'s same question and came here to do a search.

Nitrous oxide is just an oxygen carrier. It is the oxide part of the molecule that you really want. All it does it to deliver more oxygen to the combustion chamber than just plain air can, because plainn air has less oxygen. In theory, the use of this oxide is like having your perfect CAI delivering more oxygen molecules to your engine.

I figured that having an oxide system is like having the perfect CAI on demand. Then I figured that if the extra bang can be controlled and kept at a safe dose it would not hurt the engine so much. I figured just letting the LS1 breath a little oxide now and then won't do much harm. I am aware that if I get carried away and use a lot of oxide all the time I would be working the engine at higher temperatures and pressures and could do some damage. I also wonder if the use of oxide alters the octane level needs of my LS1.

I have heard that the oxide system can be set up so that it only goes when the accelerator is pressed beyond a certain point, while not at cruise speeds. Moreover the system can be turned on and off by just a switch.

That is all I know (for now). Anybody out there with the hands on experience please shoot out all you know. Please, explain like I don't know the meaning of any term you might use. Be like a teacher. In the meantime I will keep doing my search.

Most people use a switch that arms the system (actually it sends power to a throttle switch) and a throttle switch that simply sends 12v power to the kits solenoids. The throttle switch is just a simple momentary switch touched at the wide open point on the throttle body actvating the system at wide open throttle only. Most people also include a "window switch", this switch will (after the "arming switch" is activated and the "throttle switch" is activated at wide open throttle) turn on the nitrous at a pre determined (by driver) RPM, say 3000rpm and off at another predetermined RPM, say 6000rpm at your shift point and just before the rpm limiter. Hope this helps, TODD.

It does. I had read something about the window switch I did not know what it was. It is supposed to be a safety feature. I still have research on what is safest: allow N20 to start working at low rpm or higher rpm's. Concern would be the sudden shock to the drivetrain when the N20 kicks in.

Personally I wouldnt hit it any sooner than 2500rpm. Reliability from the engines point, it would stress the engine more the lower the rpm. And with street tires first gear is tough to hook on juice. TODD

Most systems should come with a wide open throttle switch (micro switch).
The NX kit I had did.

An ls1 SHOULD live a good while on a 150 and lower shot, as long as you use 93 or better octane fuel and don't have the timing advanced ie. a hypertech power programmer or something like that.

I wouldn't spray a 100 or larger below 3000 rpm's. Too much extra tq. JMO.

A few simple rules to follow to protect your engine...

Spray at WOT only
Never Spray off of the line
Spray above 3000-3500 RPM only
Do not Spray ALL the time!! It overheats your engine big time!!
