How reliable would this kit be?

http://compperformancegroupstores.co...uct_Code=82021

It's for the 2005 and up Cobalt 2.2L

Is this safe to the point where I could use it and not worry about blowing my **** up after many uses?

 

go for it

 

its only as safe as the user..

 

exactly...my car easily has like 16 bottles sprayed through it. still running strong and compression has not dropped off at all.

 

Do some research on nitrous systems, they are very simple to understand. Go with the dynotune kit, its all the same ****.

 

Yeah, I don't plan on going ape-**** or anything, I just want it for when I need it, and I don't want to blow my car up.

 

TRUE, i ran about 10 bottles through my car with a 75 shot and my car STILL runs fine, well not anymore after i boosted it

first off its not "NOS"
its Nitrous
right there, makes it seem like you didn't know what you were doing.

If you hook it up right, and run safety stuff you should be fine with a 50 shot.
run a window switch tho..dnt be dumb

and i can vouch for DynoTune Nitrous
it was a bitch to hook up but it was definatly worth it never failed

 

ive got the zex kit, i liked it. but i already pm'd as im trying to sell it.

 

First off asshat i know what the fu$% im doing. ive owned my own shop for 10 years now.
nos is short for nitrous oxide system i didnt feel like typing 50 damn letters when all i had to do is type nos. i will spell it out for you .

N (nitrous)
O (oxide)
S (system)

= NOS.
Now for what happend the nos puddled up in the intake and went boom.( that means the moter blew up).The car was tuned for nos.That happens.you r just lucky sofar.

 

my car still runs, i sold my nitrous and gone turbo

and nos is a brand, asshat

 

Get a clue dude . go get a grown up book like jegs or summit racing and look .Jegs page 88 you know the blue bottle that says NOS on it or can you read.Do your home work you might learn something. ASSHAT!!!

 

and how the hell did it puddle up in the intake? the only way that can happen is if the nitrous was sprayed into the engine while not under load so it is your fault. there is a reason they say to spray ONLY at WOT and over 3,000rpm, the atomized nitrous/fuel needs to keep moving or it will puddle up and cause a nitrous backfire

 

The car was moving, i was over 3000 rpms,i eas on the floor and about 5000 rpms bang i really dont know what happened it could of leaned out who knows,anyway it was just a crappy 2.2 anyway. The crappy little 2.2 just couldent hold up.

 

i was running an 85 shot on my car (stock 2.2l) for almost 2 years...and i never had an issue. you obviously did something wrong whether you want to accept it or not...

anyone that has issue with n2o its either because of bad install/setup or misuse.

the 2.2l ecotec is rated by gm in their build book to handle a 75 wet shot of n20 easily...


to the OP i have been running that very kit in my car. just make sure you do your research on how it works that way you know what your doing. and make sure to follow ALL instructions and advice from those who have EXPERIENCE....

 

Thers only one way to install a kit ( the right way ) i had a wet kit so i really dont understand how it blew i got on it and then a gti pulled up beside me and i got on it again and boom.

 

what system were you running. what type of controls (push button or WOT switch)? did you have a window switch? Was the system new?

and your wrong. you can install a system the wrong way. for example...placing the nozzle too close to the TB or MAF or even facing it backwards...or nto gapping your plugs accordingly. there are many things you can do wrong...

 

The kit was nx and it was new and it was wot switch no other devices were used.

 

i keep it so simple, it limits the things that can go wrong. i have a simple push button set-up, no window switch or WOT switch

 

no heater or window switch?

 

no thats all..i never had any problems with any other car before.

 

blazin speaks the truff but it is also not for the weak hearted people.

your solenoid could have gotten debris in it and stayed open. your WOT could have malfunctioned or failed and your car got a nice taste of nitrous & fuel when not at WOT. I've seen it many times with people who don't take precaution.

did you gap your plugs? you could have also detonated...

check your system periodically (every oil change), and have safety equipment (window switch, fire extinguisher, etc..)

 

The plugs were gaped and no specks on the plugs it all looked ok.

 

well then your left with all the other things that could have happened....


either way my point is that it is not the motor...

 

ive ran 6 bottles of 75 and 7 of 100 through my 2.2 made 223whp 246 tq i wouldnt do it though..

 

Zex is weak...go boost
