Who i should go with?
Id like to have a purge (how is this done?)
best kit for price with all the safty gadgets...

I want to mount the bottle between the seats or ware the spare is..

It depends on what you want it to do. Buying a kit 'for' a motor, doesnt matter really. Any kit will usually come with everything you 'need' for it.

Here are your options:

Purge
Bottle Warmer
Choosing wet / dry system
Window switch / wot switch
Remote bottle opener

There are alot of options when it comes to running nitrous.

Purge - Imo a purge is a 'must have' for even an occasional nitrous user, before spraying it clears any possible trapped air bubbles in the nitrous line, giving you a clean feed.

Bottle Warmer - This is where you can draw the line between occasional and dedicated nitrous user. A bottle warmer blanket kit is rather expensive, usually in the $250+ range. It will keep the nitrous bottle at a certain temperature, making sure the pressure stays in the correct area and you get the appropriate shot amount.

Choosing a wet / dry system - This is your choice. There are people who swear by both sides, but I recommend the wet system. The difference between a wet system and a dry system, is that a wet system uses a 'fogger' to mix fuel and nitrous and sprays them at the same time, giving you a more safe mixture. A dry system is plain nitrous injection.

Window Switch / Wot switch - A window switch is not a must have, all it is is a programmable box that will spray nitrous through a set 'window' of rpms, depending on how advanced of a window switch you buy, it can even be set per gear. A wot switch (wide open throttle) is a safety catch that ensures that nitrous will only be on when you have the throttle completely depressed. (A wot switch usually comes with every nitrous kit you buy)

Remote bottle opener - If you are going to mount the nitrous bottle in the spare tire area, I recommend picking one of these up so you do not have to keep the bottle open all the time.

Yet again, which kit you get is your personal preferance. It really does not matter, its usually where you can get the best deal. If you have any other questions about shot size, jets, or anything, just ask.

At most I would run 100- maybe 125 if you think your motor is tight enough to handle it. I would go with a wet system myself, I think its a little safer IMO knowing that you are introducing the fuel with the juice and aren't relying on either increased fuel pressure or a computer program to add the additional fuel.

Possibly another safety item would be a fuel pressure gauge- or if you want to be real safe a wide-band O2 sensor so you can tell if you start to run lean and are about to melt your mill.

My only caution is don't catch the N2O bug and keep putting in bigger jets. I know companies say that you can run a 175 and be fine, I personally wouldn't- not a stock mill at least. You'll find out real quick how much a rebuild costs. Know the limits and don't go past them unless you have the checkbook ready...

just 75 or 100 shot yo.....

hmm

Phate

I agree. 100 Shot is all you should need, and done / used correctly, its perfectly safe.

im a newbie here on this site so ill give my opion.

here is the 3 kits i recommend.
1.NX
2.harris speed works
3.dyno tune.

i run a NX kit and have been for a couple years. i pray a 75 shot right now cause i have goals on that small shot and im all most there. i did put 100 Jets in on dyno and with 100shot i seen a 117hp gain.

iv delt with harris speed works and dyno tune both are top notch and GREAT custmer serives. i have dyno yunes gauges all in my car, and a harris stand alone fuel system.

wet VS dry. both work great. i like the wet kits as it adds fuel to keep the right mixture and you can lean or richen if need be with fuel jets.

when running a dry you will need bigger injectors, and fuel pump to sopport it. dont get me wrong i whould put a fuel pump in the wet kit too to know your fuel is there. but you can keep the same injectors.

after desideing on a ket i whould get these to go with it ot make it safe as you can
1.bottle heater. dyno tune has a great one for a really good price
2. window switch. i whould get the pill kind MSD makes as i have seen and delt with alot od the digitle ones and the mess up alot.
3. nitrous presure gauge, rather it be one that mounts on bottle or one in the front with you. pressure is a big factor on nitrous.
4. fuel pressure safty switch.
5. 1 or 2 range colder spark plugs gaped around 32,35 thousands. DO NOT USE STOCK PLUGS and spray.
6. purge kit
thats about all i can think of for now. any ?s let me know and ill try and help.

what u reffer to is stages right? it will automatically spray nitrous at shifts or rpms? so 3 stage nitrious = 3 shifts, im a noob at this so i was wondering too, but me personally would never run nitrous, engine life = gone

Phate

Yes, its a staged nitrous setup. So you can set it to spray between 2000-5000rpm 1st gear, 3000-5000 2nd gear, etc etc.

And about engine life, thats not quite true. All its going to do is wear our your parts a little faster if its done right and you dont go overboard, or accelerate a problem you already have. Just the same as adding horsepower any other way. Think of it as a cheap turbo / supercharger with an on/off button.

silverz98

if you wana be safe a Window switch is a mush have. why?
1. on a 6 speed car it will it wont let you spray under 3000rpms witch is a no no. and all so if you miss a shift and hit rev limter is a nono as well. a window switch will protect you of this.

2.on a auto car that has a stall you dont need one as if you spray the stall will flash past 3000rpms. BUT id still run one so it whould cut off before the rev limter.

and yes nitorus will put more wear on your car when used but will not shorten the life of motor like you think it will. i put my kit on my car when my car had 140,xxx miles on it, now i have 165,xxx miles.

Good opinions guys. This should be made a sticky.
I was j/w how much does it cost you all that are sprayed to fill up your bottle?

Phate

Last time I filled it up it was about 50 bucks.

silverz98

a few places around here charge $3 a pound, but i got a hook up and it cost me $2 a pound, so 20 bucks for 10lb bottle

blue89vert

hmm so 20-50 bucks. The way I think of it I would be using it all the time and have to fill it up a lot. If I just saved all that money I could get a performance mod that is permanent not just while your pushing a button. I still can't decide weather or not I would get it.

Phate

What do you mean all the time? lol. I really doubt you'd use it 'that' much.

blue89vert

If I had it I would be using it all the time. It would be too much fun not to use it. lol
