Where is the best place to get a NOS kit? I only want a shot of 40-50 at most since i will be using it on my 2.2 ECOtec stock engine components. I do plan on getting a step colder plugs tho. I mostly plan on using it as appearence rather then using it. But im sure it will be used 1x a month or so. Any suggustions?

the racers edge? it was on the fast & the furious. they have the big bottles too. :cssNET:

Check out some of the deals the Supporting Vendors here have to offer. I know RK sport has a kit, and they give 15% to all members of CobaltSS.net

wow, that's nice of them. maybe i can get parts for my sunfire. :)

i have the rk sport header for my sunfire. :-D

I need NOS. And Harry, I need it by tonight.

It's called Nitrous.

"NOS" is a brand name.

It's called Nitrous.

thank you very much Captain Obvious. like none of us here already knew that.

i do want a NOS KIT. and I am just curious if anybody here knows the best places to get it from w/ the best deals.


There is always someone who has to say that NOS is a brand .

Gravanatuning.com offers an NX kit for around 550 bones......check that out...its suppost to b the best Nos kit foir our motor in this point in time

the only advantage in having nos brand instead of nx or zex is the warranty and the reputation they offer you know taht by bying NOS you're not buying scrap

be careful...500 bux for nitrous, but a couple grand for a new motor. dont blow it up!

i small shot will be no problem. a 35-50 shot

be careful...500 bux for nitrous, but a couple grand for a new motor. dont blow it up!


Utter nonsense -

You can get The Nitrous Works EFI kit for way under $500 and Edelbrock's EFI kit for under $500 as well, does that mean he'll blow it up?

No.

People blow up cars on nitrous, nitrous doesn't do anything but what its told to to.

The Ecotec was forced feed nitrous in 3 stages up and over 400hp and did about 270hp on the chassis dyno before all 4 rods broke.

You can SAFELY RUN a 100hp shot on a DEAD STOCK Ecotec and will run for a LONG, LONG TIME with weekly use on the bottle.

If I had a dime for everytime somebody that has never used nitrous posted on a board about it being harmful to your engine and useless I would be a very, very rich man.

Those that choose to run slowly, go ahead.

In the meantime, anybody thats serious can -

The Nitrous Works EFI kit - $475
The Nitrous Works Max Pack Kit - $200 (Bottle Heater, Pressure Gauge, Blowdown Tube and NHRA/IHRA blowoff cap)
Truebenz 2.5" exhaust system with Magnaflow straight through Muffler - $300
15" Steelies - $100
BFG 225/50-15' G-Force Drag Radials - $230

You could run mid to low 13's with an otherwise STOCK Cobalt.

If you have an LS, you already about 200lbs lighter than the SS....

Take out the rear seats, pass seat, spare and jack/tool. That should be worth another tenth of a second, maybe more.

Don't talk about it, just do it....

Read the GM Ecotec Handbook, even THEY recommend a small nitrous system and sorry but 100hp shot is SMALL when you consider most Pro Mod cars are injecting over 800-900hp if not more in 2-3 stage systems.

Everyone loves the fast and the furious lol. Nitrous isnt shot in like you people think.

ive always heard that nx express is the way to go, that and zex, NOS is old news

Dumb question but I don't live in the US (wish I did though sometimes). Is Nitrous legal in ALL states?? How about radar detectors. Both are illegal in Ontario and I believe the rest of Canada.

its only illegal if you get caught :)

its only illegal if you get caught :)

Do you mean get caught using it...or just having it in the car. In Ontario, you can have the entire system installed and as long as you don't have lines coming from the bottle(s) into the system you're OK

Anyone that states that Nitrous does NOT have a detrimental effect on internals is nutz. Nitrous substantially improves combustion, thus creating more power and stress on engine components. By saying it doesn't hurt anything is like saying driving around and shifting at 6000 rpm has no more effect than driving it around shifting at 2000 rpm. Power means stress and if you don't believe that, ask someone that drag races professionally and runs nitrous. Nitrous makes everything burn quicker.....your air fuel mixture and the dollar bills in your wallet.

Amateurs don't use NOS, you'll blow yourself to peices :lol:

and the same goes for a turbo charged, supercharged, or high compression vehicle. The good thing about nitrous is that its only that way when you are spraying vs all the time.

Anyone doing any serious mods to their car should realize these things anyway...Although its not like your car is going to last only 60K vs 100K if you run nitrous. Most people run all types of FI without any problems.

So, have fun kiddies! :nuts:

Ah...spoken by someone who has never used it or torn a motor down that was on the juice.....


Nitrous will clean carbon off the pistons and valves better than anything you have ever seen. If you pull the head off a juiced car, you will see everyting is spotless. No nasty carbon bits trying to give you pre-ignition, no gummed up valves. Excellant vacuum as well. If used properly, I would say that the N2O is better for your engine than not using it.

Nitrous does NOT make the mixture burn 'faster', the flame will propagate at the same speed. It simply allows more fuel to be burned by adding oxygen and cooling the intake charge so that more can be packed in the combustion chamber.

As long as you do not add so much power that the dynamic compression pushes past the rings or distort any metal so that it goes into its inelastic phase, I cannot see any reduction in longevity, quite the opposite. Now, if you get used to the power and start runnning it up higher and higher, then sure, you will break something. Same thing goes for starting with a sick engine and juicing it. As it normally ages, you want to take it down a notch, but that caution is because of normal wear on the engine, not because you threw a shot down the intake and damaged something, but because your engine was not up to the shot you picked.

If they find it they can take it or fine you, When you get the fine you have to get your car reinspected immediatley. If you have a permit for it then you are fine, If they see you use it, you will either be going to fast, or you get f'ed in the A. hardcore.

NOSSSS!!!!!!!!! :lol:

Nos............for what?

:rolleyes: u need a car that works first

:rolleyes: u need a car that works first

True, this honda is a POS. They've had it for 2 weeks now. How long does it take do get a damn ECM in and install it??? BASTARDS!!!!! :mad:

dont be a jerk most people do call nitrous, NOS "NAWWS" and that is why someone always says that

and NX is the way to go

im a fan of NX
NOS is overhyped

Ok here's the DL... everything is legal till the cops show up for one... if you go NOS brand you are going with the market... because of it's use in the Fast and the Furious, it is all hype... NX is a great kit if you are not looking into a computerized kit... Zex offers a great kit also... Venom is the best computer controlled kit offered...

Dude this is what I call a very good explanation,I wasen t sure about nitrous kit before but now its seem very clear for me.thank you :cssNET:

I have a NOS question...I heard a rumor that anyone who uses NOS should also invest in high performance pistons to prevent the rings from frying....is that true?, or bullshit

Dumb question but I don't live in the US (wish I did though sometimes). Is Nitrous legal in ALL states?? How about radar detectors. Both are illegal in Ontario and I believe the rest of Canada.

Hmm...never heard that before. Wonder where you find out?

Down the road nitrous might be nice. 75hp shot

NO2 goes both ways. Just from being fed through the engine it wont kill anything. Yes there is more stress on the engine, but it wont do more damage then running throttle wide open to red line every gear. (ive seen how imports are driven). And yes it will even cool the engine. BUT that is if its mixed right. To combust an engine needs three thinks. Fuel, ignitor, and air. nitrous is air, thus increasing air flow. with out proper octane or more fuel volume, the engine runs lean and then actually heats up. more engines go this way by eating rings and even holes in pistons. too find a kit, SUMMIT could be a good place to look.

and yes NOS was used in the Fast and the Furious, but NX express won the rights to market a F&F kit. so exactly what market would you be going for?

I mostly plan on using it as appearence rather then using it. But im sure it will be used 1x a month or so.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Sorry but seriously, I've never heard anyone actually ADMIT that!! Well I guess that its good that youre atleast bypassing any kind of ricer excuses and bullshitting :lol: :lol: :lol:
... if you go NOS brand you are going with the market... because of it's use in the Fast and the Furious, it is all hype...
Yeah, cause N.O.S. never really had much business or success in the market before The Gay and the Delirious came out :rolleyes:
I would like to give props to DJ4monie and olddude for giving not only correct information, but also detailed information :#one: Unfortunatly, Im sure there are still some people that will hate on nitrous because they know nothing about it and refuse to believe you cant run more than a 50 shot to a stock ECOTEC :rolleyes:

Here's a link for all you Fakers , that are looking to bluff your way out of a race ,But heck Racings the fun part , I use the real thing NX 75 shot wet kit works fine .I have used Nos for years and never had a problem .Key is never let it go lean ...

well here's your link :lol:

To the best of my knowledge, it is illegal to transport nitrous oxide anywhere in the US. You have to get a permit allowing you to transport it, but I don't think that permit allows you to have a car running on nitrous on the road. It's "for offroad applications only."

However, my only advice on nitrous that I will give (since the rest has been said) is that it is not for amateurs. If you don't know what you're doing and have no way of monitoring your A/F accurately DO NOT EVEN BOTHER!

venom is the way to go. you may pay alittle more for it though

Do you mean get caught using it...or just having it in the car. In Ontario, you can have the entire system installed and as long as you don't have lines coming from the bottle(s) into the system you're OK

Grey Area...

In California, Nitrous is legal for non polution controlled cars that MAY be used on the street.

IE: If your driving your car to the track with your kit, its legal. If you can provide recent time slips to an officer I bet you won't get a ticket. If they know anything about nitrous then they would know its a pain in the butt to disconnect it all the time...
