i was wondering if anybody doing nitrous.how much hp gain can you expect without damaging engine.i read 50 shot should be safe but is it worth the money for that little hp gain.

 

50hp is not a "little" gain on an engine running ~150 to the wheels to begin with.

It should be pretty safe... but make sure you get a quality system and have someone that knows NOS install it and teach you how to use it properly...

NOS used wrongly = boom.

 

word.... btw there is no safe nitrous... just not so dangerous lol.. make sure you runa wet kit

 

Isnt there a video on you tube entitled Cobalt nitrous explosion? Something to that effect?

He did a wet 75 shot.
It blew before he even left the line. I'm guessing too much too soon.


Just install an RPM window switch and TPS switch and you should be fine.

 

^basically he is right. i've been running it for a while now. never had a problem. just make sure you really do your homework on this. by the way a 50 shot is alot on our motors no mater which motor you have. think bout it if your a 2.0 you have 255 horse with stock plus a 50 shot thats evenlent to having 100 shot on a C5. Your gonna notice a difference. Hell I can break my tires loose in second doing 50 mph when i hit it.

 

wrong his window switch failed..

 

i'm have a 75shot with a momentary switch, I don't trust the window switch. this way, you just spray wen ever you want, as much as you want.

 

i personally have a push button switch. that way i can completly control it. love it by the way. hoping to possibly throw it back in and get to the track this season. by the way if your a ss/sc please dont even bother to use it in 1st gear. middle of 2nd at the very least

 

Giving too much too soon....

 

That's the way I will have setup shortly. Only spray as much as you want to, perfect.

 

Wrong again...

Issue was the switch thought it was in 2nd gear when it wasn't and started injecting nitrous into the intake half a second before launch and there were a fuel puddling issue. It's happened to another member on here as well. As soon as gas pedal was pressed, kaboom.

Nothing about too much too soon considering the 14.6 run was run on the exact same set up as the one where it blew.

 

tell em... lol

 

Ah jeez... you guys are totally missing the point.... Once again reading > than most CSS'ers
If the window switch failed it would start injecting too much too soon, causing it to puddle in teh intake... just as you wrote right here....
And I never what caused the problem.... Just what happened
Now, how am I wrong?
Please point out where I ever said that he intentionally made it get too much?

 

now your just covering your tracks lol.. j/k

i wouldnt even spray off the line unless i had a auto..

 

Me either... we have enough traction problems as it is...

 

amen to that. traction on our cars sucks beyond believe.

 

Load some concrete in to the engine compartment and viola there goes your traction woes.
