How much spray can I put on the stock motor? Just want somthin to mess around with.
None, I wouldn't
x3None, I wouldn't
Well put. I agree.Knowing which engine you want to do this with would be nice. I am assuming that 99% of people here (and in the world lol) are basing their answers about using Nox on the Fast and the Furious movies or what their friends-cousins-moms-boyfirends-sisters-husband told them it did to their engine.
Want the truth? You probably cant handle it but there is NOTHING wrong with Nox or using it as a 'power-adder'.
Nitrous Oxide is used to achieve the EXACT same thing as 'boost'. To bring more combustible oxygen into the chamber. Boost applications (SC/Turbo) do this through mechanically forcing "air" into the intake. Basically since "air" doesnt have much actual oxygen in it they cram as much s*** into the intake as possible to get the desired amount of oxygen.
Nitrous Oxide is used to chemically produce this additional oxygen. As it enters the combustion chamber the heat causes the nitrous and oxygen to seperate. Nox is made up of 36% oxygen whereas air is only 23% by weight so you can see the benefits.
The reason Nox systems have such a bad repuation is because they arent without their dangers. Popular media likes to describes them as blowing up engines after any and all uses, not to mention your diamond-plate floor boards flying out!!! This is because when not enough fuel is added to compensate the sudden increase in oxygen the combustion chamber temperatures will sky rocket exponentially. Think oxy-acetylene torch!!!
Not to scare you away (because I am a loyal nox uses and have been for years) but there are some dangers. If you FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS and/or get the setup tuned properly there is nothing wrong with it. When turbo motors blow up or if an n/a engine floats at 11k+ nobody blames the industry and completely rides it off!!
get a NEW kit (venom has the more "controlability" and is the best IMO) and follow the directions for setup and tuning it and you can SAFELY run a 50 or 75 shot. If your engine has some miles go 50 if its somewhat healtyh 75 is the upper edge. Limit your sprays to no more then 10-13 seconds.
I sprayed 75 on my Si for over 3 months before I sold it. My H22/23 had a 100 on it and I daily drove it 75 miles a day for over a year and sprayed on it every clear weekend night at the races. Just picked up a new jdm itr and plan on spraying this engine too!
there is no need to build a motor for entry level spray applications.Why not build your engine first? If you don't know how to do basic mechanial things then you have no business adding a nitrous setup.
