This is what happens with NOS...

[KCKrogoth]

I figured I would post these pics of what happened to my Pro5's FS motor with a little aid from a ZEX kit and caused me an expensive engine replacement.

Enjoy...

Bottom line....If you're thinking about using Nitrous, I recommend against it. I hope this was enough to save a couple of FS motors out there. (thumb)

Damn how much of a shot were you pushing?

 

[KCKrogoth]

Only a 55 shot...I figured it would be a safe deal. Recommendations for that much nitrous was minimal. Didn't require timing adjustment, plus I couldn't do that anyway, I don't have adjustable cam gears.

Guess I figured wrong... (bang)

turbo build / forged internals FTW. Gl and sorry to hear about your situation.
check w/ JDM Sam @ www.*************.com he is building a motor rite now and might be able to help you with your situation.

Ouch. Wet kit or dry kit?

For nitrous, you'd likely want to adjust your ignition timing, not your cam timing. Therefore you'd need an EMS, not cam gears.


Either way, that sucks.

Was she at least pulling before it blew... or did it blow the first time?

-shakes head- wow, I don't know why mazda made these motors soo weak!?!? My friend pushes 55 DRY shots on his 96 Tercel, RELIABLY! I really don't get what Mazda was thinking (yeah I know an economy engine, but still!).

man, i just moved and the notebook with all my sites and price comparison is m.i.a. its kinda pissin me off, i think they were farely inexpensive, like $200-300. it took me like a month or two just to find decent quality ones and these werent that great, some extra fiberglass and tlc fixed them though. i9f i find it i'll post it to ya(argh)

My buddy sprayed a 100 shot on his elantra for over 2 years with no problems.

And I though zex kits tended to actually give a actual smaller shot then the size jet that is used.

 

[KCKrogoth]

It was a dry shot which was probably a stupid idea to begin with, But yes, it pulled like a bat out of hell for about 2 weeks...Then it went. Was fun while it lasted!

I have a new motor in it now, It's all good. Think I'll try a different route this time...Maybe Boost! (flame2)

Zex Ftw!

 

[GhostMercury]

[StealthWyvern]

[GhostMercury]

wow im glad i never thought about throwing nos on this car. cause those pictures would have crushed my dreams lol.

i do hear that pirana is getting his motor rebuilt with all the fun stuff and will be throwing nos on there. but im sure he will tune for it.
