my mazda 3 on nos!!!!

[FC3s Boy]

you can run it safely just don't get carried away and do not hit the rev limter

 

[morris]

well i hit a 60 shot..my two bottles are now empty and it's fast...the only thing that i didn't count on is that I lost power on normal driving because of the new spark plugs.....so its either really fast or really slow
(drive)
I'm keeping it for a couple of weeks and see how it goes but everything seems fine, BIG Difference with heated bottle..

just as long as you drive as you're supposed to you there is no problem at all

my car has had like 30 test drives... everything is OK (rockon)

 

[morris]

depends on the amount of power you want...and the only way you blow your engine is if you don't know how to drive or you don't know how to set it up... wrong spark plugs, not enough gas, low octane gas, and just plain nitrous driving ignorance are why people blow engines...I know many people who have used it for long periods of time and have had no problems

 

[acidbug]

youre gonna blow your engine, almost 99.9999 percent of all people who have run nitrous on their proteges have blown motors. maybe your motor is more durable, but i hope you have a WIDEBAND a/f gauge, wet shot, rev limit pills, bottle warmer, and all that bulls***. and a fire extinguisher for when you blow up your engine.

I guess i am taht .0000001 percent that didn't blow.

I was running a 50shot..Nitrous express. Never had a problem..and still don't..but now i am turbo'd!

The only reason why i changed..was cost to fill bottle!

friend of mine has a matrix with a 60 shot...he has been on nos for 6 months and it runs fine

matrix is made by toyota , there engines are alot tougher....

 

[morris]

matrix motor are made by yamaha....have you taken a looK at them?...great performance but they aren't strong engines.. check a litttle around celica sites or matrix sites and you'll se they can barely take any boost... regular corolla, mr2 engine are alot tougher but not as much performance

 

[N2OInferno]

I owned a Celica GT-S, and it was a pretty good engine. But they have such high compression and THAT is the reason they don't take well to boost (the 2ZZ). But the 1ZZ engine, which is what the Celica GT comes equipped with, has lower compression, no lift, and takes well to boost, but you normally only see numbers that sit right around where the 2ZZ is after light modding.. In the end it's not really worth it as much.

Just a side note on Nos.

If you do encounter an engine problem because of nitrous...there is no way out of it. A simple look at the top of your pistons, or a UOA of your vehicles oil will paint a very clear, and unmistakable story.

When your piston looks something like this, its pretty hard to say "oh I didn't do any mods...."

So if you perform such a mod, just be prepared to deal with a giant "WARRANTY VOID" stamp on your VIN.

the reason they cant take much boost is because the pistons are tooo high compression, the gts is 11.1 to 1 if i remember right, . after maket pistons and rods are the best way to go to turbocharge the celica and mr2 .... think about it, the protege engine would explode if u boosted it with 11.5-1 compresssion, i have seen a few gts's that are turbocharged at 7 psi and they run fine....

Sweeeet... (2thumbs) I like the cooling hole in the top of the piston. Or is that a compression release? (crazy)

[crossbow]

There's another nice one for ya.

There is a simple way around the oil inspection. Make sure you use medical grade nitrous. This way it doesn't leave that residue in your oil.

so , go to the hostpital to tank up... lol..... i am sure they will comply...

 

[acidbug]

to funny..

No just check around..that's what i did..and i found 2 shops that held the medical grade nitrous!

Chas

 

[Shane5425]

whats the difference in it

 

[N2OInferno]

Nitrous as a performance adder has sulfur added into it so you can't inhale it and become intoxicated, if I'm correct.

K, scratch one. So then how do you magically repair all the melted pistons?

last night was fun again, there have been no explotions...car seems to take the 60 shot with no problem...I dont plan on going higher I actually am not a nitrous fan but I had the kit in my garage for some time now...it probably will just be on my car for a couple more bottles. I'm sure the car could take a 75 shot but I'll let someone else try it...Im satisfied with my car for now...I still don't have track numbers because it's been closed but on thursday I will give it a try.....Its like I said before, if you take precautions and drive like you're supposed to you won't have any problems

I have already done like 25-27 runs changed my oil and my spark plugs just to be safe and i test my gas selenoid before each run
