Nitrous on your F22A

[92DXCORD]

whats up anyone on here sprayed their f22a, if so how much and how did it run

[chessboxer]

before going turbo I had a NOS 75 wet shot on mine. It ran beautifully and pulled really hard. Timing was retarded about 2 degrees and we ran 1 step colder plugs as well.

My cousin ran a 75 wet shot on his CB7 and it ran GGGGREAT.

[92DXCORD]

what kinda times if you had to guess would i be runnin through the 1/8 seeing as how the closest 1/4 track around here is about 3 hours away

[deevergote]

A 75 shot should put a CB7 in the 15.0-14.6 range or so, in the quarter. It depends on other mods. Basically, take a 125hp engine, add the lag of waiting to spray, then dump on 75hp and a buttload of torque. It evens out to being about what an H22 could do... factor in bolt-ons and motor health, and it could be a little faster.

50 shot is idiotproof, or nearly so. Wet or dry is good for 50... dry is probably best. 75 shot is about as far as the average tuner should go on an older stock motor. At this point, dry would work, but wet is safer. A 100 shot IS doable on a stock F22, but you have to be very careful, and everything should be perfect. That's getting to the limits of an old engine. Over a 100 shot, build the block as if you were going high-boost turbo.

would you guys recommend a certain kit me and my friends always just used DIY kits. but we are pretty good with tuning nitrous, my friend ran 175 shot on his 97 cobra, motor was stock minus bolt ons. and it ran fine for a year and a half. of racing it almost every weekend

[deevergote]

I personally like Zex... and when I buy my kit, that's what I'm going to get. If you and your friends have experience with nitrous, then any well designed kit should be fine. Just make sure to take the proper precautions (timing, spark plugs, properly functioning ignition components, proper fuel pressure, good compression, general maintenance)

ZEX

[RICHIE*GT35R]

I use NX wet kit!!!!

[mozzandherb]

Heard good and bad things about Zex, but the guy who said he refused to install and/or tune with a Zex kit isent too credible. To me Zex looks like a really nice kit

[deevergote]

Accord SiR used to run a Zex kit before he went turbo... which is before most of the people on this site were driving He swears by it. He's definitely someone I trust.

thats cool i might have to look into one. cause like i said i'm used to working with nitrous on DOHC 4.6's and LS1's so ya know lil more margin for error there

[deevergote]

Eh, not necessarily. The LS1 has a compression ratio of 10.1:1, and I believe the Ford 4.6 is 9.8:1. The F22A compression is 8.8:1, meaning that you have more room for error. The Honda engines are also generally built to tighter tolerances (though both of those engines are very well made domestic engines)

You better hope your spark plug wires are on tight.

^^^thanks for the feedback. i was gonna loosen 'em and let the nitrous re-thread them too. shewwww what a relief
