50 shot - Page 2

yes a 50shot will be fine....i would reccomend you go 1 heat range down on the spark plugs and like jesse said replace the fuel filter to be on the safe side.

+1 on what has already been said.

also, you cant just go to a bigger injector. the ecu is programed to pulse the injector for a set amount of time for a given intake pressure and rpm. if you put a bigger injector in and do nothing else, that bigger injector will open for the same amount of time as the smaller one dumping way too much fuel in. the ecu needs to be reprogrammed to pulse the injectors in shorter bursts.

if its a wet kit then there is no need for bigger injectors..

It's not the nitrous oxide that kills engines, it's the lack of fuel because some stock component couldn't keep up or it failed outright.

that and the instant torque burst of nitrous can snap rods

don't spray till after 3000rpm, don't spray all the way to redline and never spray in 1st or 5th

One of my friends with a y7 ran nitrous with no jetting, he just opened the bottle up with his hand in second gear. Sounds crazy huuh? It never blew up for some crazy reason, we had a couple other LS swapped cars doing that as well.

I would never do it, but a couple of the street racers here have done it and still do it.

lol reminds me of vtec on a switch.

but to stay on topic everyone else summed it up. Just like everything else. Do the supporting mods and you'll be happy. Unless there is a mechanical problem in the first place.

And if your wondering, from what it sounds like, the ZEX dry kit is a great way to start. Has built in safety features (not to be relied on) but better there than not. Also please correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't it have some sort of window switch as well?
