my mazda 3 on nos!!!!

[Matthew]

lol...smuggler - i keep mine set at 8psi. its good for about double the orig horsepower, unlike nitrous. i guess i hate it because of the bulls*** movie portayals.

 

[N2OInferno]

With a built engine and more fuel you could probably double the horsepower. Not like shots don't go up that high. I can't remember what I had but it was a 100 or 150 shot on the Mustang.

Just gotta know how to tune for nitrous.

installed my custom painted coke big ass bottle with NOS everything else

50 shot

today i will go to the track...i have my switch on the gas but there is an aditional switch to turn it on or off

tried only against my friends stock wrx and left him behind...floored from
20mph....
(gun)

 

[morris]

has anyone instaled and apex s-afc-2?

 

[Matthew]

wait, can your friend not drive? what other mods do you have done?

 

[morris]

If a turbo kit were available i would go staight to that but this makes the waiting more fun..I spent 6,000 on my last cars NA engine (mr2 spyder) and it was just doing 14.1 until i crashed like 2 months ago..I'm never going NA again...boost is the way...might seem more expensive starting out but your dollar/whp is going to be much grater

 

[Matthew]

hiboost is working on a turbo kit

 

[morris]

my friend does a 14.7 but remember the wrx advantage comes from the start...it does a 1.8 60 ft wich is awesome but after that they aren't that fast
from 0 mph i probably wouldn't catch him because of the ecu 120 limit....if i get there on n2o i would blow my engine

 

[Matthew]

yea i wouldnt do that.

 

[morris]

I hope it doesn't take that long for the kit....i like my mazda but it is missing a little kick for my taste...the matrix is faster but not nearly as nice....mazda could use a better vvt system

 

[TampaBlackMSP]

Good luck. Keep us informed...

 

[Matthew]

you could always do a custom system.

 

[mazda3zoom]

cmon man, tell us how it went????also some picsof the setup would be kool.

I have been runniing an 85 shot on my mp3 now that I got 3 in exhaust and an AWR header, I ran a 75 shot for a year with no problems. But i'm using a fogger with the fuel jet a little rich

 

[Manny Fresh]

My friend had bought a Nitrous kit for his Eagle Talon, he only had it for a weekend cuz he blew the engine. He was using a 75 shot. He had to sell the nitrous kit to buy a new engine for his car...

User beware.

i see.......driving lessons in your friends future...

 

[mp5jeff]

nitrous sucks, i have a few reasons, to get a real setup that won't blow up your engine, you are looking at 1k off the bat, and install prices unless you do it yourself. Now you have to think about re-fills, how much are you going to be using the nitrous? you could be looking at another 1k just in re-fills in the 1st year depending on how much you use it...that's if you use a bottle every week or every other week...so now you are looking at around 2500 dollars in the 1st year of using it, to me it just isn't worth it...and if you aren't going to be using it that much, then don't bother getting it in the 1st place...

 

[mp5jeff]

the one advantage i see in nitrous, is it can be hidden, unlike a turbo kit...so if you decided to race someone they wouldn't even know. But that still to me doesn't justify it in the end.

 

[speedhawaii]

(werd) And are you using a wet or dry kit?

i would think dry.

 

[mp3_sieater]

Nitrous is no different than any other power adder. Too much gas = BOOM!!
Too much boost = BOOM!!. It all depends on the tuning, and the strength of the engine internals. I for one have had no problems with my nitrous kit, as many have had no problems with turbos. I also know that the 2.0 FS engine has weak rods. But if you can make 85 hp with a turbo kit and have no problems then at least in my case you can run an 85 shot fogger with no problems.
