I'm getting a kit in the next week or so. Tell me, where did you tap in to the Throttle pressure sensor (WOT). I have been looking at some kits from Ny-Trex, one is called tripple threat where the fuel, nos, and purge come all to one bar with 3 sileniod, but it has a micro switch. I think the zex would work best for our cars though.

Wet shot? Nitrous and fuel through the blower? Hate to see a hiccup in that case.

you tap into the purple or blue wire cant remember off hand but anyway it has to be tapped at the pedal harness not at throttle body or it wont work

I read a million posts of people who ran their N20 a million times until they blew the engine. You would think that with a pull like that, one would realize easily that raping the motor would cause it to blow. That pull you speak of makes it pretty obvious to me. I've had my kit in since June 05, and I still have 2lbs in my original tank. Here's a pic of my kit so you can see how some other people did theirs. Enjoy.

nope i meant the non-supercharged 2.2L, as outlined on page 26 in the gm build book:

"With a stock cobalt, the maximum nitrous jet you should use
is 75 hp. Nitrous Express offers a stand-alone kit which has
been tested and proven to work well. The Nitrous Express
Kit contains a single nozzle with a nitrous jet and a fuel jet.
Use a pressure tap on the production fuel rail for the fuel jet’s
supply. (Fig. 5)"

theres a number for tech service, take the time do your research before you post again please.

You quoted a guy named REDBASEBOLT.....HE was refering to a supercharged 2.0. The world does not revolve around you ms. condesending to all. And if you look at the pic at the top of the page, you'll see a pic of my engine. I have used a 75hp jet on my own 2.2L ecotec, so I think I've done the research. Now let's see if you have. What fuel jet works best with the 75 hp N20 jet in the 2.2L ecotec? 55-65-75?

I think what he was saying is that if you were running that 75 shot on the LSJ motor you would be posting about a blown motor right now.

He didn't say that the 2.2L couldn't take a 75 shot...

However I do know of one Redline owner that is running a 75 shot, hasn't blown it up yet. :)

Why wouldnt the lsj be able to handle a 75 shot? i thought the internals on the lsj were reliable for 400hp like how the 2.2L is good for 250hp

or do i have my numbers mixed?

I think there is a belief that injecting through the supercharger will cause damage too the blades. And of course injecting a larger shot into an FI'd car is just a little more risky.

I don't believe it has actually been proven that the LSJ or the blower can't handle nitrous.

holy fuck you little prick. i am so god damn sorry to have offended you, read the damn posts.
he was spraying his 2.2L, thats a base model, thus the name "RED-BASE-BOLT"
you want to call me condesending, all i did was take a line out of the gm build guide.
go fuck yourself, and then get some more pics of your fat ass girlfriend infront of your car to put in your profile, then fuck yourself again.
by the way, with nitrous, you want to retard timing, and i personally have had the best luck running a 75 shot on an ecotec without any timing adjustments.

Cussing like that.....that's classy. A size 5 is not fat. I have g-string pics to prove it. REDBASEBOLT said "HIS" car is not supercharged, refering to Maxss's car. Not his own. I am fluent in many languages so reading is deffinately not a problem. Although it looks like for you, it might be an area that needs a little work. And worst of all, you didn't even answer my question. I will no longer speak with you, as you are not worth the time. Good Day. :twothumbs

as long as nitrous is used correctly and in the correct amount for you vehicles application it is totally safe. use the correct jetting and if all possible dyno the car for the correct a/f mixture. nitrous is supposed to be used above 3000 rpm. you also need to stay off the rev limiter if you hit it theres a good chance that the nitrous will puddle and then cause a back fire usually through the intake blowing either the filter up or the intake off.

if the a/f is off you could burn pistons valve sparkplugs and things like that on a lean mixture. on a rich mixture you will not get the optimum perf. out of the car.

extra info to know

wet kits are the safest cause they add the fuel in also, and it allows you to keep the factory a/f mixture when running on motor.

dry kits sprays just the nitrous. when using these your a/f mixture becomes even more critical. you should run the car a little richer so when the nitrous is sprayed you decrease the chance of detination. not saying it can't be done it is safer that way though.

ive used 75 to 250 jets in my camaro with no problems. the car is built for it though. used correctly it is totally safe. :nuts:

Why spend tons of money each time you want to get a A/F measurmetn by taking it to a dyno? sure if you know somebody that will let you get dyno time for free...but thats usually not the case. Spend some money and buy a Wideband so you can track your A/F from inside the vehicle, and tune your car yourself instead of spending tons of money on dyno time.

But you are correct. A/F must be spot on in order to achieve the full benifits of nitrous. At least a lot of the cars on this site are still under warantee :twothumbs

spraying a smaller dry shot before the s/c would be crazy. it would compress the shot and make it bigger. so you could run say a 35 shot with it compressing it to say a 50, right?

wide band is another way to go def. but your looking 300.00 to 400.00 for a good wide band set up and most dyno shops will give you like three pulls for like 50 bucks. def. agree with what your saying though

when spraying a forced induction car your shot prety much doubles, and on a forced induction car its a VERY BAD IDEA TO SPRAY A DRY SHOT!!! your fuel pressure regulator and your injectors are already working at like 65% duty cycle from the factory and you FPR is already increasing fuel at a 1:1 ratio. a dry kit is prety much asking the fuel system to do the impossible. i plan on spraying a 35 shot or so through my SS/SC via a wet kit. i have 2 kits laying around my house along with 40 lb of nitrous :D i also spray a 2 stage 250 shot through my 95 Z28 which IS fuel injected ;) its also a 355 with forged guts and bumped up compression but its still fuel injected. with a wet shot it doesnt put alot of stress on your injectors or fpr, the only thing you have to make sure of is that your not spraying too early, and that you dont spray through your shifts.
