Re-installed my nitrous kit today

Just finished the basic install of my kit today. Everything turned out pretty clean. Looks completely hidden. My pressure gauge isnt working for some reason, so i didnt wanna turn the bottle heater on. SO friday my gauge comes in. And i can actually feel some power again. Today i tested it a little, it all works but the shot is really weak. its a 50 shot, feels like a 15 shot, lol. just figured id share.

You can run up to 75shot on the 2.2 btw, just need to buy the right fitting for a 75shot

i think 50 is a safer shot that 75 but people have gotten away with it yes... i think there is a rule of thumb of like 20 HP per cylinder is safe so like 80HP theoretically? but i don't run juice so don't take my word... congrats on the n2o

for those of you that don't know. Sean already ran high 13s on juice, i'm sure he's aware that the 75shot is safe for his car.

btw dude, you suck for getting back on the bottle. i feel so left out now............

I just need some power, even if its temporary. And the tranny mounts are AWESOME. I love the stiffness. The shifts are smoother, and the ride is louder. Off the line my car is a ****** beast now, No wheel hop , only a little bumping, but no jumping off the ground anymore. Im probaly going to bump it back up to a 75, just gotta get it all tuned in right.

right, hes MORE bolted then you...but not fully bolted
FULLY bolted would include:
intake
intake mani
throttle body
header
downpipe
exhaust
crank pulley
alternator pulley

to have a fully bolted engine, any internals would make it a "built" engine and anything else would be either supporting mods or other (suspension, audio, traction, etc...)

i wouldn't exactly say cheaper once you get hooked on it and keeping a full to near full bottle is a must. gotta keep the boost juice ready just in case.


is it worth it? yes.
