Anybody Spray'n their SS yet - nitrous ?

[Epitaph]

If you properly install Nitrous on a car, it won't do more harm than Forced Induction.

1 thing I like about Nitrous is you don't always have to use it, if you use a S/c or T/c, it's always somewhere, so you're always pushing more HP somewhere.

Depends on your dealer. more often then you think, dealers will send an oil sample out for analysis. Seen many warrantees voided due to this.

But no NOS hate here ... I was hooked on that dope for years. I have had great success with it. Of course now I've moved on to BOOST

Boost is your friend

I don't hate nos, but I do think it should be used on cheap, non warranty, non essential vehicles. Everything has it's place and for me nos is on a track car.

Just a personal opionion.

Nitrous is for the track. Some states it's illegal on public roads. Getting blown is legal.

GA:
§ 40-8-10. Operation of motor vehicles with nitrous oxide; penalty for violation.
(a) It shall be unlawful for any person on a public road to drive a passenger car, excluding a motor home, which supplies the motor vehicle's combustion engine with nitrous oxide unless the system supplying nitrous oxide is made inoperative by disconnecting the line feeding nitrous oxide to the engine or by removing the container or containers of nitrous oxide from the vehicle.
(b) Any person who violates subsection (a) of this Code section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.

I know this is the v8 forum, but what do you guys thing about spraying the LLT v6?

How will the DI be effected by N2O? It would probably have to be run with a wet system with DI, right?

nitrous is hard on a motor. and you have to constantly refill the bottle. I would rather my car have the power there whenever I want it all the time.

^^^ there you go... Camaro running a 200 shot

Robin Lawrence is at the NMCA race right now running the GMPP car on nitrous in the late model shootout. You can probably get some results at NMCAdigital.com

Nice contradiction.... so having the power there all the time is easier on the motor then having the power when requested?

Nitrous is forced induction.... chemical forced induction vs mechanical that is.

as for why you like nitrous.... thats part of the reason I have moved away from it. I like having the power there all the time. helps you to keep respect for the car's power.

actually yes. having the power there and having the motor tuned for it is easier on the motor than throwing a huge amount of power at it at random times.

I am throwing the BS flag there... having a 430BHP stock engine putting out 600BHP day in and day out through a "there all the time" FI is going to put a lot more wear on hard parts then putting out that same 600BHP a couple of times a week through a properly tuned nitrous setup.

even with the best tuned nitrous setup, you still run that millisecond or 2 when you first spray before the engine/pcm/tune compensates. and to add to that, you can have it tuned perfectly, but throwing 200hp at a motor is harder for that first second.

now, running 600hp all the time does put increased wear and tear on things. I wont argue that, but its only putting a small percentage of what you are throwing at it with the equivilant nitrous setup when its first fired.


so basically, s/c and t/c = lower amount of wear over a longer period of time
nitrous = more wear over a shorter period of time.

There is no need for the Engine/PCM/Tune to compensate for anything with a properly setup wet kit... if it is a large enough shot the timing is already pulled and with proper length fuel and nitrous lines from solenoid to plate/nozzle you can eliminate any lean spike.
