Cost of Your Nitrous setup? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Had this in the forced induction section but didnt get anything... Just wondering on the cost and installation of your nitrous setup.??

MiracleAces · 07-26-2011, 05:21 PM

Dont do it.

REEFBLUE93 · 07-26-2011, 05:24 PM

Question I would be asking first is 'what kind of success have V6 owners had running nitrous?'. I would be very careful with anything over a 75 shot.

Synyster · 07-26-2011, 05:27 PM

Cost before or after the motor explodes?

Amarr014 · 07-26-2011, 06:01 PM

i was just gonna run a 75 shot... I have been reading in the forced induction v6 section and motors havent been exploding...

Cost will depend on a number of factors, including the level of protection/safety you wish to provide for your motor. Window switch (activates the spray at wide open throttle within a specified rpm range)...interior pressure gauge and possibly air/fuel gauge. Basic systems can be purchased new for $400-$500. Accessories add up quickly. Remote bottle opener is around $180. Nano pressure system will nearly double the base cost, but it provides always-available spray (instead of waiting for the bottle to heat up to proper pressure). Tuning with a wideband air/fuel monitor is a must. Tune alone could run $500 with dyno time. I havent had a car with nitrous for a couple of years, but nitrous refill prices were rising at that time ($4/pound).

Seek out some help on a nitrous specific forum. Most people who warn you away have zero personal experience. I ran a 125 dry shot on my LS1 for years with no issues whatsoever. Find someone local who is in-the-know.

ya i contacted a couple racing stores in my area and then some in the area of my college (not nearly as upscale) and i got a few different quotes... i am def gonna go with the safety features as this is my daily drives... i was huge into offroading but needed a more suitable vehicle for internships and med school... but i love vehicles...... and have found a new calling to going fast in a straight line! being a college student i just cant swing 7 grand for turbos or SC's so a 75 shot seems to be a great fit.... i am not gonna name company names but from alpharetta Ga (hometown) i got 2200 quoted and then from little ole deland florida i got 1100 installed

We have been getting major success with nitrous. Most are running 100-125shot. These v6's love the juice!

PoorMansCamaro · 07-26-2011, 09:45 PM

For 2200, you better have ALL the bells and whistles and a lot of dyno time. Lol.

Matic · 07-26-2011, 10:01 PM

speaking of nitrous, when the hell is Balls' suspension over? That guy was a legend

Nice Post. There are a lot of options for parts, systems, and tuners now. More than ever before.

What parts? What system? Who's tuning?

Most platforms do! Just a question of using the right parts and the right tune up.

A lot depends on what your looking at. We have systems alone that easily clear 1000$ for the base system. Way over kill for the cars in question, but there is a lot of the nitrous world (The Dark Side) that most never see or get to be apart of.
