Nos.

alright, me and my friend were talking about nos; i just wanted a general overview of it, is it illegal in certain states, i live in florida btw. and just info about nos kits in general and are they worth it or is a supercharger or turbo more cost efficent or what? any info i can get would be appreciated

btw i dont have a car atm was just wondering bout it cuz my friend might buy it

NAWZZZZZZ!!!!!!



NOS, is a brand by Holley.
so you wanna know about holley kits specifically?

yeah sure, see i already learned something lol

lol, if you don't really have any clue about it, do some google searches.
Usually there is alot more involved other than putting some injectors in and pushing a button...
such as, tuning, different types of injection, different ways of activation..

^ that will tell you the basic installation, and use.

I see what you are thinking of, there is also Venom which is a computerized nitrous system and Zex, which is a "dry" nitrous setup, and also a brand called Nitrous Express. I do not have any experience with Nitrous Oxide whatsoever, so I really can't help you out very much.

rnnx36, wuts ur name? i live in wellington too

yeah i dont know alot either but thanks for the info guys

daniel its stephen u idiot..

its like 4 dollars a pound for nitrous refil

that **** adds up after a bit


go with a supecharger or a turbo or somthing like that

some more info for yah... zex isn't a dry only set-up... they offer wet-kits as well .... actually the new set-up they have is rather nice

all 3 are equally as expensive when they are done right one just costs less in the beginning

yeah i figured the refilling of the nitros would add up over time and if u get in a bad accident u got the tanks exploding on ur mind as well; i was gona take a supercharger over one cuz the way it makes u accelerate is just asking for a speeding ticket

the nitrous tank wont explode like you saw in the fast and the furious.

anyways, what kind of car do you have? a nitrous system will run you 1500-2000 for the kit and supporting parts. do you have full intake/exhaust done already? go with headers-tip exhaust and an intake before thinking about spray

i once had a 50 lbs scuba tank of nitrous from NOS sitting in my garage. it isnt something offered to the public, but firedogg can verify it was real.
=D
if i only still had it...

ok well nitrous is a lot more into it first off its easy to toast ur engine with nitrous and turbo is much better way to go one u always get the power without constantly having to buy it and u have to buy the nitrous system and alot of internal engine parts like new pistons, rings, heads, all that good stuff for it to run correctly even tho i have nitrous with turbo

I prefer this NOS:

^ that stuff is pretty good

Get a 150 shot kit and put it on your friends car. Tell him to rev it up as high as it will go in neutral, then to spray it. This will clean out the block.

......clean everthing including pistons.....

haha that will alow you to scrub the inside of the block by hand because of the crack you will put in it

aken, ever tried the one called cocaine? or bawls?

Bawls is good as hell - I drink that all the time. Never heard of the Cocaine one.

nitrous really isnt a bad thing..

if you have it done up right.

cocaine is hard to find. its not as popular yet. and where do you get your bawls? i order mine online or pick it up by the case either at thinkgeek.com or Comp USA

its not illegal to have in your car but it is illegal in every state to use it on a public road.

just like lights.

Couple local geeky stores have it. Target used to, too.

cool. did you know its actually a Brazillian soft drink?

Yeah, I had heard something along those lines.

nos is cheap power

just has to be done properly... dont throw a 200 shoton a stock motor, unless somehow it'll hold together, or you dont mind if it explodes.

ooh old hijacked topic, but i thought id chime in that xoxide has all sorts of kewl caffeinated produx.

I got a ZEX kit earlier; those don't seem too bad. I've been told it's good to start off small though (50 hp shot) and then you can move your way up.

yeah general rule of thumb that i've heard over and over again is 50hp for 4cyl's 75 for 6 cyl's and 100 for 8 cyls

zex is a pretty good kit... i think i might build my truck for nitrous and would either go with them or nitrous xpress

That part I don't quite have yet....I'll prob hold off on that for a while but will keep the parts around in case.....

it totaly depends what your long term aspect on your car is an what your going to use it for if your want reliabilty and awsome power i would choose a super charger when possible with turbo chargers not only do you get turbo lag but turbo's get rather hot so you would most likely have to strap on a intercooler which looks nice an all but its all space at the end of the day an nitros has its place an all but like others have said on a stock engine its realy in your hands what happens to your block

also depending what kind of engine you got can depend on the type of perfomance out come you may get from each option ie v8 v6 strait 4 or boxer etc

if the turbo is sized properly there should be no to little lag at all, and even with a supercharger you need to worry about heat.... usually in the form of heat exhangers which is like a coolant system but for just the supercharger... and depending on the style of supercharger i would still run an after(inter) cooler

HOLY thread ressurection............And btw^^^awsome sig

noz is byfar te best option of the three it comes in diffrent sizes 20 - 100bhp shots this all depends on weather your engine is up to the job if you do get nos dont get carried away always use it in second or thurd gear and dont get hudge 100bhp tanks cause ur car will end up lookin somethin like brians of fast and furiouse lol
