just wondering if anyone tried installing a NOS system in their car?

tried installing one in my previous car and i think 25 or a 50 shot system will still be safe and reliable for our IS...

 

PM windex, he used to run NOS on his IS

 

I would not suggest duplicating his system.

He basically fired a 100 shot of nitrous with absolutely no safety precautions whatsoever. AFAIK he's currently without a license but it's more remarkable he's not without an engine.

Do a search, at least one other member had run a 50, 65, and 85 shot at various points, rather more safely.

(It might be possibly to safely run a 100 shot too, but don't do it without a relatively foolproof system that'll protect your motor... it's a few hundred bucks more to potentially save thousands).

Here's a nice nitrous for newbies article... it's written for an LT1 so a few things won't apply directly, but most of the basic concepts will... (and the author safely ran a 2-stage 200-250 shot on a stock internals motor for years)

I feel old and out of the loop.
All that time, money, and R&D on Nitrous and windex gets the credit, LOL
Not hating

Dry kit does nothing without adding fuel. Look at his track times

 

haha sorry HKS350, I always read threads where windex talked about his experiences with NOS. Didn't mean to disrespect you (/give credit) and the few others that have run NOS

 

1/10th behind you in the 1/4... and afaik the fastest street tire 60' 1.7 and 1/8th mile with a 7.9

 

I did and 60+ bottles later everything is still running I was convinced I was going to blow my motor at the pursuit back in september. My kit wasnt supposed to be a permanent application I put it on for a street race against a stage 4 roush 427R I did it won my money and played around with it on the car and just couldn't find it in me to take it off

 

are ya saying that if you run a dry shot on a button and then redline by accident and fuel cuts off while still injecting NOS it won't blow up your engine?

 

it can but it didnt happen to me i squeezed through every gear on a button and never let out... but what do i know my kit doesnt do anything because i didnt add fuel

 

Hey windex i have no idea how much faster a 100 shot on a is350 means. On the street what have you beat? Just for comparison.

 

I;m thinking that would make it a 12.5 second car or faster.....

 

C6 vette, e55, 03-04 bolt on cobra (stock pulley), multiple LS1 camaros, evos and stis without upgraded turbo, tubro honda, JB3 tuned 335's, M3 e46 and an Tuned e92 but I think he just didnt know how to drive.

 

Windex,
By the comments stated above it is obivous that you do not know what is actually happening to your motor when spraying a dry shot. You are completely relying on the stock ECU to add the correct amount of fuel.

THE FUEL is what gives you the bump in HP. NOT THE NOS!

I have no problem with you doing what ever you want with your car, I think its pretty nice to see someone else spraying nitrous, but you are completely misleading a ton members into thinking it is safe to run a dry shot and it is not! You have been lucky at best and that is it. I hope that your luck will last.

I have dynoed, datalogged air-to-fuel ratio's, tested different blends of fuel while spraying and I can say what you are doing is not safe. Take offense if you like, but someone needs to tell these members you have following you this is crazy. Luck be on your side friend.

 

hopefully I can get my bottle heater soon and head back to the track...maybe I'll take the fastest IS350 crown from one of you

Windex and HKS350, what are both of your fastest time and trap speed? and elevation?

 

LOL, I've only ran the 1/4 (1) one time (1) one pass on 30 series tires and I pulled the 12.55. @ 110mph 200ft DA@ 700ft from what I remember but n2o changes DA
So it won't be hard to take me down. I thought someone would have by now. I took the kit off the car @ 1yr ago. Soon as I pay it off in Sept.
