YES i did use thesearch button but i did not find anything that fits my question...and if you do great for you! teach me lol no flamers plz hahaha

Smallest I've seen is a 50 shot, but I don't know if there's any smaller one's

35 from Sniper nitrous kit. I had the .018 (fuel) and .020 (n2o) and I figured it to be about 25-35hp

boltedbalt

yeah jon the sniper is the one i was looking at....did you like it and did you have it on a swtich or what and how hard was teh install

the 2.2 cobalts take a 75 shot nicely. dont be afraid to up the shot to a 50 or 55. a 15 or 20 shot and you are not gonna feel ****. lol

boltedbalt

really, i mean i gotta drive this car all through college do surviveability is key here lol im a sophomore hahahi think i may go with the sniper kit...how hard is this **** to install i mean i dont want to **** this up ya know

slowswap

If you don't do at least a 50 shot its not worth the money.

boltedbalt

okay well im really kinda lost now, how many times can i use it before the bottle is gone...jst read diff shot numbers...i know lenght of use matters but id just use it for quick shots and rarely.....and im still leaning 35 shot

slowswap

35 shot on a 10 lb bottle will probably last you 50 shots. If not more.

boltedbalt

wow, now wet is considered safer? or dry and id have it set up on a switch

slowswap

Wet. Especially if you want the car to last.

im on a 60 shot. i get a solid 12-14 pulls(2nd, 3rd, and half of 4th gear) out of the car before pressure starts falling off at top end

slowswap

He said quick shots and not 3 gear pulls.

boltedbalt

okay wet and is this really hard to install>?

slowswap

Depends on what kit and what extra safety features you want. A basic kit isn't hard at all.

pretty easy. my buddy joe(italianjoe1) installed my kit in about 3 and a half hours to make the install look really clean

boltedbalt

oh boy im getting excited hahaha, i want as much safety as possilbe BTW

eh, nitrous pressure gauge and wideband air/fuel gauge is all you really NEED to be safe.

Look, why would you only want 35, when for the price you can do 75. Change a few pieces, maybe a nice tune, and you can shoot the 100 when you want. I wouldnt waste my time or money for a 35hp boost from nitrous. Not saying 35 isnt anything, becuase sometimes less the 35 is what matters. I been readin around, and if you do the math 75 shot should be just ok for the 2.2L. At any rate when your thinking saftey, ide say get the blow down pipe and gauges. There really isnt anything unsafe about it, at 35 shot.

the hardest kit to install is

dynotune nitrous kit.
you have to wire everything. But i think, the dynotune nitrous kit is VERY solid. And i could give you the wiriing and to where it goes and ****.

the zex kit is probably the easiest from what i have saw.

btw
35 is nothing ha

75 is the shot to go...or atleast 50

boltedbalt

im not a track guy and i don't "street race" or atleast almost never...does zex offer a 35 shot of nit? and i noticed you have the dyno Nit...do you like it and how long was your personal install?

06_ion2

slap a zex wet kit on it.. 3 wires (ground, switched power and tps) then 4 lines that are: bottle to engine bay, fuel rail to box and two lines going from the box to the shark nozzle that screws into the intake.. its very very simple to install.. im running a 100 shot on my 2.2 but i wouldn't recommend it at all. it will take a 75 all day long with no worries just get a pressure gauge a bottle warmer and a wide band to be safe but if your going to run a 75 i would upgrade your exhaust manifold and downpipe because the low end torque is massive and isn't that great in the upper rpm's because it starts to choke itself off. with a upgraded downpipe and manifold it will even out the trq curve and will be very noticeable

IonNinja

then what would be the point? nitrous is a drag racing tool...if you aren't doing either what exactly would you be using it for?

and yes zex offers 35 shot jets, check their website

Preston

to do it with our cobalt club guys..2 days...first day we mounted the bottle..and ran the 16' line..and set my purge button up...then we did nothing hah

but we coulda got it easily done in a day...if we woulda stayed on task ha
