looking at NOS kit aswell .. ? suggestions ?

[miketurb0honda]

hey guys got my b16a turbo with to4e turbo running 5psi

looking at a nos kit for some extra power plus its BLING bonus

but im looking at a dry kit , 50-80hp jets , what does this kit require its it as simple as hook up solnoid run hose to it then to intake pipe ?

does anyone have a kit ? what are they like ? do you use foot switch or push button ?

any brands good ? ZEX one from kelford ?

10lb bottle refill costs ??

looking at this too .. it it just a cooler spray to cool components down ?http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Mo...283991.htm?p=4

any help is appriciated

cheers

In the long run, wouldn't it be cheaper to up the boost?

i wouldnt be putting nos through it till it had a proper tune on the dyno else it will just go boom quicker

x2, and what matt (Itekdu) said, its prob easier/cheaper in the long run with fully building the b16a, just get it fully tuned 1st and see how you like it, youll be suprised how good it goes with a good tune (around 190ish wkw?) :wink:

dry kits are piss easy to hook up.

bottle to braided hose, hose to engine bay, to solenoid, solenoid to intake arm.

on the switch side.. its switch to positive (battery) and earth, one other positive to the solenoid.. one from the solenoid to the earth..


Always good to get it tuned and makesure a/f ratios are spot on. retard engine a few degrees depending on shot.

make sure plugs are gapped right.

nitrous helps cool down intake temps as well as added 'boost' increases oxygen in system and bigger bang..

umm im tired so i should have summed it up.

p.s its like upping boost. it doesnt matter how high you go, it will only be beneficial up to a certain point then it just becomes dangerous or useless.. i.e 50 shot can be better than a 75 shot in some conditions.. p.s face bottle right way up and keep warm

$185 for 10lbs.

awesome man that is alot of helpful info !!

man thats $$$$ how long would a 10lb bottle last say 50hp jet ?

SFA the way you will use it.

Dude I wouldn't even think about NOS yet. Getting your B16a tuned properly will have you up around 190-200wkw. Thats alot of power. If you add NOS to that it will be pointless on anything other than the dragstrip, and will most likely blow up your engine if its still stock.

tard = you if you NOS before getting the turbo tuned.

10lbs was 'ROUGHLY' 3 minutes of non stop use. It was about a flick of a switch and wide open throttle to go off the clock in 10-12 seconds.

Oh.. 'donts' = dont double clutch or keep it on while shifting (waste of nitrous and nitrous buildup in manifold)
=dont use below 2500rpm unless tuned or setup for it.. waste of nitrous and doesnt usually go anywhere.

It is advisable to tune your car to your turbo as others have said get the benefit from that BUT if you do your research and ask the right questions you can easily customise a setup for your own benefits.

With your ideas on cryogenics cooling setup, carbon dioxide bottles are cheap to refill and gains are only minimal.. Intercooler sprays and intake arm sprays drop temperatures which are good for turbos running unefficient systems. These imo are for the hardcore tuners that squeeze every lil hp out of their engines.

Goodluck, you're doing well and enjoy. Its fun learning and having fun from experiences, it'd be a boring place if otherwise

How many 1/4 mile runs do you think youi would get to a 10lb bottle?

[mr.sky]

got maths? hehehehe. 3 minutes/~13seconds = 13 runs?

NOS off the line in first and it will take a bit longer to do the run then 13 seconds

Should get 20 runs in if your not hitting NOS till 1/3 of the way down

Wow never thought of that... :talktothehand:

No prefer to hear from someone who actually has an idea.
