Please DO NOT Post In The General Section

From this point on until otherwise briefed, posting in the general section of Performance Tech is prohibited. The only thing to remain here will be the stickies. We would just delete this section, but that would cause unintended results.


The majority of the threads created can appropriately be placed in one of the Performance Tech sub-forums or Technical; and the posting of them here is detrimental to the activity of said forums. If you have any questions about where you need to place your thread PM me or one of the other mods.


For the most part you all have caught on without this post, but there have been a few habitual offenders that forced me to say this.


Everyone will get a couple of warnings from here on out, after that I just start deleting threads.

Again if you have any questions, PM me or one of the other mods.

    The best way to go fast!

    I say "nos" is the best way to go fast cheap, and being able to do it again and again. I say that because if done correct, pistons, rods, fuel, etc. it is the best way to go fast. It is also the funnist, to see the guy in the car next to you start to sweat when he or she sees the prugeand puff of white smoke. Perfetion.

        with moderate use (1-2 times/day, 10 seconds/time), how long will a 10 lb. tank last ya?

          y would u want 2 use it 1-2 times a day that would be way 2 much. u would only want 2 use it once or twice a week if even that. after awhile i am pretty sure that carp would be 2 much just 2 show off 2 them ricers

            okay...how long would it last using it 1-2 times/week?

              i hit it about 7 times at a 100 shot(i know it was too much) and after that i think i lost pressure and it didnt go like it did before. but i could have used it more it was a while ago. needless to say i got rid of it

                  When I race a 75 shot I got about 5.5 quarter mile runs. I know people that got about 3.5 out of a 150 shot. I'm factoring 3 quarter mile passes on a 200 shot when my motor is complete.

                    Holy crap that's a lot of funny gas! Just curious what's getting done to your motor? It sounds like you're lanning it out right, I just want to make sure that you're not going overboard on the juice. I'm guessing you're doing a dry kit or did you pick a wet kit and why? Sorry for all the questions, but there's a lot to nitrous that hasn't been covered here yet.

                      what is the differents between the dry kit and wet kit?

                        ight here you go.. and while im at it.. direct port is up there to..

                        These are three basic types of nitrous systems: dry, wet, and direct port. The most misunderstood is the "dry" type of system. A "dry" nitrous system simply means that the fuel required to make additional power with nitrous will be introduced through the fuel injectors (remember, fuel makes power, nitrous simply lets you burn more of it). This keeps the upper intake dry of fuel. We accomplish this by two methods. First, is to increase the pressure to the injectors by applying nitrous pressure from the solenoid assembly when the system is activated. This causes an increase in fuel flow just like turning up the pressure on your garden hose from 1/2 to full. The second way we can add the required fuel is to increase the time the fuel injector stays on. This is accomplished by changing what the computer sees, basically tricking the computer into adding the required fuel. In either case, once the fuel has been added, the nitrous can be introduced to burn the supplemental fuel and generate additional power.

                        The second type of nitrous kit is the "wet" style of kit. These kits include carburetor plate systems and add nitrous and fuel at the same time and place (normally 3-4" ahead of the throttle body for fuel injected applications or just under the carb as with plate systems). This type of system will make the upper intake wet with fuel. These systems are best used with intakes designed for wet flow and turbo/supercharged applications.

                        The last type of system is the direct port system. Just as it's name implies, it introduces the nitrous and fuel directly into each intake port on an engine. These systems will normally add the nitrous and fuel together through a fogger nozzle or a NOSzleTM. The fogger nozzle mixes and meters the nitrous and fuel delivered to each cylinder. This is the most powerful and one of the most accurate type of systems. This is due to the placement of the nozzle in each runner, as well as the ability to use more and higher capacity solenoid valves. A direct port system will have a distribution block and solenoid assembly which delivers the nitrous and fuel to the nozzles by way of connecting tubes. Because each cylinder has a specific nozzle and jetting (both nitrous and fuel), it is possible to control the nitrous/fuel ratio for one cylinder without changing that of the other cylinders. These systems are also one of the more complicated systems when installation is considered, as the intake must be drilled, tapped, and the "plumbing" made to clear any existing obstructions. Because of this and the high output of these systems, they are most often used on racing vehicles built for the strain of such high horsepower levels.

                            Nice someone did the explanation of nitrous so I didn't have to do it again. As far as my motor goes, everything is being done, seriously everything. Go to board.hondasociety.com and check out the buildup thread stickied in the 4th gen forum.
