I am unsure if NOS has made a kit, but I'm sure someone has info about a nitro kit for the 2.0. Could always try ZEX or NX if NOS doesn't have a premade kit. Also, can try doing one on your own, but I think nitrous oxide systems are retarded unless you plan on using it for drag racing only (and I also mean the car for drag only as it is 100% illegal on a road car.)

A better example to look at would be maybe a Cobra, Lighting, Aftermarket Supercharged Vette, GTO.

On a 2.2L would be a 50 shot to be safe.

I won't exceed over 100 and I won't try to go above 50 either.

On the LSJ I think you can safely run a 75 shot but it's slightly more built for abuse out of the box then the L62.

Remember, no shot is a safe shot but test and works is at least a 50.

Have you ever sprayed before ? If so, you dont know what the hell your talking about, as long as you have enough fuel to accomadte the extra incoming air, your **** will not blow up. If you get that right, theres next to no way to **** your **** up unless your always on it, or if someone hooked up your **** wrong. Im so tired of people who have never sprayed talk about it like its a bad thing and it will blow your motor.

Well i have talked to so experts about putting NOS on my car. They said what most people dont understand is that when you spray a wet kit in a Forced Induction car, it duoble yours shot. Because yes it does go through your supercharger. You still have to drill a hole in your intake, and it sprays just like normal. So if your shot is going to double, i wouls spray a 25 shot. I have the GM Build Book, and if you read it, it tells you that the stock internals for our cars can will stand a 75 shot. So i would go with a 25 at first to be safe. And make sure it is trottle act. This is what ive been told from experts that i have talked to face to face about my car. Hope this helps. ( ZEX makes the best kits IMO)

I used a ZEX kit with my Alero and had no problems with anything until my FPR popped off in the middle of me spraying and I blew my motor to peices... make sure everything is connected firmly.

I've used it on several applications thank you. There is tolerances to be meet and don't insult other users. It just makes you look like a ****. You can have all the fuel in the world but if the motor wasn't designed to take abuse then why bother? Have you ever tore apart a car after (3) 50-75 shots were sprayed in a month before? I have, it's not pretty what it does to small displacement motors. There not meant to handle all those extremes. I think you watched too much F& The F.

Spray is bad if it's not setup for the the intended purpose it was made for, track use.

I've watched and witnessed several accidents of street racing when someone activated N20 on the car doing about 70 and ran right into the side of the car that had the right away. I don't condone it's use on the street and I've done test and tuned several cars to run off of ZEX. The application should go by displacement not by how much fuel YOU think it can throw at it. That's just part of it. Sounds like you need to go back to watching videos...

I know the GM performance handbook says that the car can handle a 75 shot stock. I personally wouldn't touch anything above 55, just to stay safe.
I'm not 100% positive, but I believe they recommended a wet kit through Nitrous Express.

Wet kits like those (Zex carries one too) install into your intake manifold. There is no harm in doing this. Just....don't be stupid or get carried away.

And for the love of God, it is called nitrous, or n2o, or 'the bottle' or 'laughing gas' but NOS is a name brand, and is NOT the correct term for the stuff.
That's like calling any car on the road a chevy, or every tire a Michelin. It's not ok.

If thats the case then why don't you just go put a 300 shot on it?

This is sorta off topic but people call circular saws "skil saw", lockable pliers "Vice-grips", adjustable pliars "channel locks", i could name several others, but you have a good point in that NOS is a name brand.

A good quality product and a cheap alternative is a Cold Fusion Nitrous wet kit.

Experts, eh? Your experts have no clue what they are talking about.

Wow way to take it way out of context.

If you had a fuel pressure switch it would have cut the system off and this wouldnt have happened. They also make an air fuel ratio switch that will kill it too, I had both of these on my 2001 WS6 running 11.8x's with no problem out of a NOS 5177 dry kit.

Seriously no one is going to lose control of a car with a 50 to 125 shot. Done right it shouldnt really hit too hard. Use a window switch to control what rpms it engages at. Make sure to use the right spark plug for the size of shot you are using. Dry kits hit a little softer and make slightly less power but are way safer if you can get one that works on these cars because the computer does all the work.
